One note on the sewer pipe main house: recommend to use cast iron for the vertical runs to manage sound. There are also sound blankets available. Makes a lot of difference. If blower door test comes in low (it always does): Aerobarrier or chase the leaks with a smoke pen. For the main house make sure you get the makeup air right. For the kitchen hood, make sure that the makeup air comes in close to where the hood is. Otherwise you blow conditioned air out. For makeup air, make sure you have a filter in line as well. For any filter boxes, go with a min of 2" filter. 4" is best. ERV: can be noisy due to coupling effects. Also pay special attention to the air inlet. Since you are pulling a lot of air, there is a very good chance of water getting sucked in during rain accumulating at the ERV.

While you've got the walls open, plan for your towel bars, toilet paper holders, etc. Put blocking in the walls where they will be hung. Hanging stuff like that just on sheetrock is a pain. Most people know to use blocking for handrails and cabinets, but don't think about the small stuff. You could also plan ahead and put blocking where there could potentially be ADA handrails in the bathroom. Just my 2¢.

I know it's kind of early to be thinking about this, but I have a recommendation regarding lighting. Where possible, it would be best to install lights with replaceable light bulbs, as opposed to integrated LED (throwaway) fixtures. As an electrician, I have had a lot of nasty jobs changing these out because they have a relatively-high failure rate for what they are advertised as (They don't last anywhere *near* the "25 years" advertised. If you do use them, get spares (for style and color temperature matching), and don't bury them in the drywall. Fixing a light turns into a multi-day process when you have to tear out drywall to replace a failed "Chineseum" LED light.
@TrogdorBurnin8or Жыл бұрын
I think the industry needs a new way of doing things to redress this situation. Recessed cans are enormous, cause air leaks, and on the top floor protrude deep into the insulation. We need a thin, shallow, replaceable LED module and space to wire it without piercing into the attic. Maybe frame the attic floor in plywood like we'd currently apply drywall, strap below the ply with 2x3's, and then put drywall below that? That would provide 2" depth to have a variety of LED fixtures and fish wires without mucking around with the air barrier.

Don't like the idea of an air grill from the garage to stairway, for fumes. Best to get the most separation you can. Also this makes the staircase part of the garage and then you have to make sure the stairway has the fire separation from the apartment (which it may). Still the staircase then shares the same air and fire area with the garage, and a garage shall not have a door directly into any sleeping room.

There are many great benefits to using this product when it comes to heating/cooling and fireproofing the home. I will understand if it may not be in the budget if you choose another option though.

What are you planning for vapor management to prevent ridge rot (humidity rises to the top)? I see people implement a vapor diffusion port at the ridge of the roof by using a permeable underlayment (like Delta Foxx) just along the ridge. Your Zip sheathing is sealed at your ridge though so it is going to trap moisture though, unless you cut slits in the Zip before installing the underlayment.

Watching the various USA builds, I'm always amazed how little insulation you all use. Even in Texas, while you don't have to worry much about heating (although last few years proved differently), I would think that you want to at least keep the heat out. Assuming typical average summer outside temperature of 100F and internal temperature of 70F, your current walls (with only the 7/16 OSB, R-value of 0.55) will leak about 170W/m^2 (~16W/ft^2) of heat inside - and that's not counting the walls getting heated by the sun. I know that your walls won't get as hot as pavement (I have seen reports of 170F), but it would triple the heat load. When you add insulation (for a 6" deep wall I assume R-21), when you include all thermal bridges caused by the studs, you will get total wall average of R-9, maybe R-10 (on walls without windows), that's still 10W/m^2 (~1W/ft^2, 2-3W/ft^2 including sun). Compare that to a build I follow here in Poland (think ~Chicago climate). 250mm (~10") thick exterior walls made from areated concrete blocks (R-10) + another 250mm of XPS insulation (R-48) on the outside (+whatever siding/stucco he will put on later). That's somewhere around R-55 (including thermal bridges from poured concrete columns and headers), not counting windows. More insulation in the roof, something like R-68 between trusses. His heat load (if gates to hell opened here and we got a Texan summer) would be 1.7W/m^2 (0.16W/ft^2), and his level of insulation is considered at best average - about what you would get from a commercial developer. On topic of solar heating, if you don't mind blinding the neighbors with snow white walls, maybe look into getting exterior paint with a calcium carbonate nanosphere pigment, with it your walls can be colder than ambient even in full sunlight (look up "infrared cooling paint" on YT)

I think you guys have a whole different mentality about building. You build for something that will last generations. I was in Western Europe this summer and didn’t see one asphalt shingle. They looked like slate or ceramic/porcelain. Maybe a composit shingle?

Amazing guys 🎉I really look forward to your videos. I have built many projects at home and my vacation place and I have never used Zip on my buildings but I think on my next project I am going to use it. Great work and look forward to the next video

Enjoying the framing. All bathroom doors🎉 should be 3 ft. to allow for ADA , wheel chairs, and other fixtures. Keep up the good work!
