UnBuild It Podcast ·

2024/08/15

Steve and his "jamokes" (Jake & Pete) share moments that changed their careers. Especially interesting is that the term jamoke that Steve uses is most often associated with CarTalk host Ray Magliozzi in this quote: "If my brother and I proved one thing, it's that just about any jamoke can host a radio show." Wow, does that nail the three of us and our podcast!PETE'S RESOURCE(S):- "Just a Couple of Jamokes - A Tribute to Car Talk's Rollicking 40-Year Run" - https://newengland.com/yankee/ma...

112 - Confused spaces? Garages

UnBuild It Podcast ·

2024/07/18

Pete, confused? Pete takes the lead on garages and tries hard not to confuse Steve and Jake (not very successfully...). It's all about how garages are "conditioned" (heated, cooled, dehumidified, ventilated, and filtered) and just what uses the garage is designed for in comparison to the expectations homeowners have in terms of their use(s).Pete's Resource(s):- BSC Information Sheet 802: buildingscience.com/sites/default/files/migrate/pdf/BSCInfo_802_Wrong_Unsealed_Cavity_Between_Garage...

Listeners picked up on two places where perhaps Steve and Jake do not agree (can you imagine....?): Face-seal vs. Drained-rough-opening window/door installations and details at sill plates. After considerable "silliness" (that would be Steve's not Pete's pun...), Jake & Steve reconcile these apparent disagreements with lots of UnBuild It love for each other (WHAT???).Pete's Resource(s): - John Straube's drained rough opening sill detail: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/John-Stra...

Great questions from our listeners! How do you determine the best insulation levels by climate (with the best being the greatest value)?Does adding screws (at some point during construction) make sense when using Advantech floor sheathing, adhesive, and ring shank nails?Pete's Resource(s): BSI-081: "Zeroing In" - https://www.buildinggreen.com/blog/capture-green-value-over-time-not-short-term-payback-analysisPete BuildingGreen blog: "Capture Green Value Over Time, Not with Short-Term...

UnBuild It Podcast ·

2024/06/05

Client involvement is critical in any building project, but this can be a double-edged sword. We need our clients engaged and to manage their expectations, particularly given how much information/stuff is available online. The boys each give their perspective on the importance and the corralling required for client involvement.

108 - Basements as Living Conditioned Space

UnBuild It Podcast ·

2024/05/16

How do you transform below-grade full foundations (also variously called pits, cellars, or basements and historically meant to be or tolerated as damp and cool and dark) into true living-conditioned spaces? We say add four continuous control layers, access to daylight and egress, thermal comfort, and good acoustics—make it a place to thrive as well as live (and even escape).Pete's Resource(s):1.
