I’ve been improving my grandfathers cabin that I’ve owned for 10 years. The exterior is vertical log and they are soft at the lower end that were exposed to deep snow over the years. The studs are impeccable do to the 60 lb felt that was used between the exterior and framing. I’m a true believer in 60lb tar paper.

Your talking about the roof falling if it snows, wonder how many times it snowed on it in the last 100 years ? Lmao ! Old growth lumber is way stronger than the crap we get today that why they could build on 24 inch center and use 2x4s which are actually 2 inches by 4 inches where we have to to use 2x8s that are still junk because they use fertilizer to grow the trees to fast ! I have a lot of respect for those old school carpets , they did everything but hand ! So let’s not forget about that

work with nature not against it . stick framing inevitably requires one to control a weakness in design . american stick framing was /is all about saving cost . there is no aspect of longevity built into the system , only price first everything else second . it's appears to be an American as the price above all else i see in everything we purchase , from houses to cars to gas to food etc etc. The current attempts to increase energy efficiency involves additional lumber but in the same configuration that creates so many problems . for a relative small increase in wood , one could use mass timber in the form of manufactured kiln dried logs or CLT panels for the exterior walls . the mass aspect of thick timber acts as a heat storage medium and controls humid changes due to its hygroscopic effect . installing wood fiber insulation panels on the OUTSIDE of the walls eliminates thermal bridging as the mass timber is all the same density. on top of the exterior insulation ,furring strips are attached vertically to accept a siding of choice . the space between the strips acts as an air vent to wick moisture away . the vents are open at the top and bottom with insect and rodent screen installed . the extra cost of the timber is offset by decreased labor .the exterior walls when precut can be assembled in only a few days . the roof structure can be quickly assembled to close the structure in . also there is a saving in no additional work is required on the inside walls and the exterior siding protects the insulation and the mass timber from the elements .

As a european, the german windows suck. You can't put AC's in them, getting screens in them is a PITA especially in apartments. I would much rather have windows that don't make want to die in the summer.
@thorstenjaspert93947 күн бұрын
You open the window bin the summer morning as early as possible and let in the cool air. The best is to open all windows at the same time. After 9.00 you have to close the cool air inside and let down the roll shutters on the sun side of the house. That's German air conditioning. AC after very rare in residential homes. German houses are better isolated than American ones.

Polyiso is my preferred method to care for the continuous insulation control as it has the highest R-Value per inch. This way you don’t have to to try to find 13 inch screws. We can meet that same R-value with 4 inches of one polyiso board.

How do you want to clean the American window from both sides?
@arnomrnym6329Ай бұрын
The term "European" is kind of missleading, because there are different styles. The "American Style" is originally from The UK. The other Window with the "Tilt and Turn Function“ ist a german invention by Wilhelm Frank, patented in1935. Over the last 50 years this system spread througout Europe. Inside turning windows ar commonly use in Middle and South Europe, where in Skandinavia Windows and especially appartement doors open outwards (Fire escape). In Germany (and other countries too) you can also get sliding windows (vertical/horizontal) but they serve usually a certain purpose like Ticket offices, Kiosk, Cafés etc.

I dont understand. Build a cinder block wall seal the outside and build a 2nd cinder bolck two ft from the first and fill with dry sand. Low tech, all materials are available in bulk and great thermal properties. What am i missing?
@user-dy2xi4yr8p2 ай бұрын
Interesting idea but if you fill the cavity make sure no rain or moisture gets in there, also check the r-value of two ft of sand plus cinder block; Probably ok but not great. Lastly, better use some next level wall ties to stop the wall from bursting apart!

I think that much Rockwool is overkill. Just look at the sample they set on fire with a device inside the rockwool built house (19:20). Its not a 6 to 12 inch thick wall, and probably only 1.5 to 2 inch thick. So having this in mind the heat wont penetrate through the 1.5 to 2 inch and keeps the humidity on the outside if that is a concern and then space between the sheathing and rockwool should be in balance (not fluctuating in temp).
@user-dy2xi4yr8p2 ай бұрын
The figures don't lie. The more insulation, the less watts of energy needed to heat or cool the house. Properly built Passive is way more energy efficient and therefore far cheaper in the long run.

We try to keep moisture going outward in our timber frames. People don't understand how much moisture builds in a house. Block walls we core with vermiculite, mineral wool batts and board, low perm air barrier, air gap, and masonry veneer. Wall ties for masonry veneer hold the mineral wool.

Hybrid designs are becoming more popular using a combination of materials and purposeful layers. Efforts are made to prevent thermal bridging across structural supports, all while not sacrificing living space.

It's also key to understand that decibels are measured exponentially. So a change from 75 to 55 decibels is more than it might sound like. 75 is irritating and you kind of need to yell over it. 55 is quieter than many conversations. So now that this hood is operating at 50-55 decibels, it's really a noticeable difference. Every ten points on the decibel scale is like a tenfold pressure difference!

I am excited about this project because it made a real and immediate difference in occupant behavior. People who were missing out will now benefit from ventilation they really should have always had. Hoods aren't just meant to be looked at! It's important to understand we only benefit from available technologies if we actually use them.

Hi Claire, I understand your concern about mold and skin fungus in shower systems. However, the RainStick Shower appliance addresses this issue with its thorough cleaning process, including UV treatment and automatic self-cleaning after each use. This process targets and eliminates 99.99% of bacteria and viruses, including harmful ones like Legionella. Plus, RainStick has been extensively tested by an ISO-accredited laboratory and has received a rating of "Extremely Hygienic." So while it's natural to have concerns, it seems like RainStick has taken significant steps to ensure cleanliness and hygiene in its system.
