- Interview with Mark LaLiberte of Construction InstructionJoin Jake and Steve as they talk with Construction Instruction co-founder and president, Mark LaLiberte.39 min
- 64 - Deep Dive Floor Framing
What the Foch (based on the lead-in quote from Jake)? I honestly was not prepared for how riveting an impromptu discussion of floor framing could be but listeners won't be surprised to hear Jake and Steve blow up the "simple" decision of floor framing systems with issues like: HVAC integration, finished floor materials, air barrier penetrations, fire protection for engineered wood systems, kitchen island stability, lumber yard availability of different floor framing systems. This UnBuildIt podcast will simply floor you...
Pete's Resource: Chapter 5 of the code and specifically, sections R502.2 and R502.8, and on the UnBuildIt YouTube channel the new series from Steve called "Before the Build."35 min - Siga Day 4
Jake is joined by cohost Tim Uhler and guest Mike Conneely the guys discuss panelized construction and a very interesting window manufacturer.
39 min - Siga Day 3
In this special extra episode Jake is joined by co-host Tim Uhler and guest Aron Jones from Big Dog construction. Siga day 3 wrap up includes conversations about an amazing trade school as well as a very interesting multi-family development that featured a Zehnder ERV for the entire building, sound dampening techniques and some huge windows from B4.
27 min - 63 - Ventilation - It's the 2nd letter in the acronym HVAC!
And yet, in homes, whole-house ventilation is a "brand-new" concept in much of our industry. The boys go through all the whole-house ventilation systems citing pros and cons and their own experiences with different systems in their projects across the board.

33 min - Midwest Building Science Symposium 2022
This week, Jake is joined by Travis Brungardt to promote the Midwest Building Science Symposium in Kansas City and Chattanooga TN. Go to bsandbeerkc.org to sign up for tickets and enjoy some of the best building science minds in the country talking about their craft.
43 min - 62 - Roof claddings--from asphalt shingles to standing seam metal, from durability to PV attachment, roof cladding is about a lot more than just cost.
Holy smokes--so much to consider: the boys range from roof pitch to venting, from color (heat absorption) to texture (water retention), and even planning out plumbing penetrations based on roof cladding layouts (or air admittance vents...). And by the way: this podcast only covered pitched roof claddings--roof membranes on low slope roofs waits for another UnBuildIt day.
32 min - Day one of the Swiss Siga tour
Jake is joined by Tim Uhler and Kristopher Mirchandani to discuss the innovation process and manufacturing tour at Siga world headquarters.
40 min - 61 - Roofs Run Amok
Tons to talk about: roof design (simple roofs for easy water management), materials (advanced framing--trusses vs solid sawn rafters), spacing (16 vs 24 inches), accommodating HVAC equipment, and even planning for PV array load. Even building roofs on the ground and craning them into place like a top hat OR what about SIP roofs (and why)? The boys cover a lot of ground but up in the air...
