Main sections of the process are broken into 3-5 minute videos and nifty tips are broken out into 30-second - 1-minute video clips below.

Ceiling-mounted units practically disappear while delivering energy-efficient heating and cooling

Built-in levels make this door easy to plumb, but snap-on jamb and trim covers make it super easy to install

Staggered corner cabinets and kitchen island built from stock parts

To install a good-looking board and batten trim, divide the wall space available by the intended spacing, rather than the batten spacing by the wall. Make sense?

When you're in a hole, start digging

A little collection of short films about remodeling and construction with some side trips along the way.

Closed-cell spray foam in a two-part froth pack is a fast and effective way to eliminate thermal bridges and air leaks in building assemblies

Mesh sheeting creates a drainage space between the siding and weather-resistive barrier (WRB) allowing walls to dry much faster which makes them last much longer.

Protect the edges from sideways rain, and overlap like you've done it before!

Flashing, overlapping, and sealing layers keeps the outside out and the inside in

Stretchy gasket tape, flanged workboxes, and sealant can solve a HOLE lotta air leaks

The Tyvek weather-resistive barrier can be a water barrier and an air barrier, but it is NOT a vapor barrier

Two types of tapes for two air sealing applications

Interior membranes can be part of a high-performance wall assembly as a vapor retarder or as part of an air barrier system

Barriers, air gaps, continuous insulation, and redundancy give durability to a new crawlspace

An overview of the premiere season of this new construction show. We'll follow MARK IV Builders as they demonstrate smart building envelope practices.

Hidden fasteners and a bolt-down railing make quick work of a beautiful deck
