Good evening Matt and Steve, You are very good with your details Steve. I appreciate architects who are very detail minded. When I had my millwork business, I enjoyed working with architects who were detailed minded and would listen to their suppliers. Steve, I've noticed you do that. That is the sign of a good architect.

IPE - straight from Brazil rainforests to a floor near you. Ipe species grow in very low densities, with mature trees only occurring once per 300,000 to 1,000,000 square feet (3 to 10 hectares) of forest area. This necessitates the clearing of large sections of rainforest trees (most of which are of little commercial value). That deck you are standing on - is probably from 100+ year old trees, yet the deck will probably only be there for 20 years.

[@kebonyusa]

Should have used Kebony, the sustainable alternative to ipe. More stable too.

[@jeffj2495]

@@kebonyusa Looks like Kebony is a great alternative. Certainly better than chopping down 100+ year old trees to make 20 year external decking.

There's actually code that dictates vertical planks/pickets for that reason. Maybe because the mesh is so fine that it's not a problem (can't stick your foot in there). I'd like to know

Ipe is not a great choice. Many environmental builders advocate black locust as it grows quickly and has similar rot resistance and hardness. Plus its flowers smell great!

Pie is a great wood for exterior use as it is very rot resistant. It is harvested in areas where they manage the forests.

[@kadmow]

Also placing the backer rod between the roof sheathing and the standing seam panel (as well as "pre-oilcaning" the panel) it will give a "capillary break" in the center of the panel - allowing any potential condensate /rain intrusion to drain down to the gutter - rather than being "sealed" - via capillary forces between the membrane and the panel.. (not forgetting that a little aircirculation also hellps transport the radiant heat from the sun up and away - probably a very minor contributor. (Funny how a single asthetic detail can also affect the other factors (air water and heat)

Nice pool house...too bad the swim season there is so short to that you won't be able to enjoy it much. If I were building it, It would be an indoor pool with large operable doors (open in the summer, closed in the winter) around the whole perimeter to be able to use it year round. Of course, _I_ can't stand to go more than a week without being in the water, so I may be a little biased.

[@kenbrown2808]

we have a local time share facility that built their pool house such that an arm of the pool goes into a large wing of the pool house, and there is a roll up door that can close to keep the weather off that arm of the pool.
