46 min - 44 - Building Affordable
What is affordable housing? The answer is more nuanced than you would think. Tune in this week to hear Steve, Peter, and Jake talk about their idea of affordable housing.
27 min - 43 - Permanent Wood Foundations
Going Against the Grain - Permanent Wood Foundations
Seriously? Aren't the terms "permanent" and "wood" used together below-grade a contradiction in terms? Turns out that if you honor the four continuous control layers below-grade on a foundation framed with pressure-treated wood, both the science and the construction actually work. Is the margin for error probably tighter than with concrete? Very well could be, but framing below-grade seems to bring more attention to detail, as Pete, Jake, and Steve attest.33 min - 42 - How to Build a House Without a Floor
Does that home need a floor? Of course. Does it need the assembly you were planning for? Maybe not. In this week’s podcast the crew discusses alternative means of construction that Jake and Steve have executed with great success.
43 min - 41 - Crawl Space Details
Is it inside or outside? That is the crawl space question to ask. How do we know? How to decide? Tune in for this week’s UnBuild It Podcast to find out everything about crawl spaces.

- 39 - Houses Jake Has Lived In

From wood foundations to leaky basements to high performance homes, listen to Pete and Jake walk you through the choices.
28 min - 38 - Q&A #2
You asked, we answered. The boys answer listener submitted questions this week. Don't like the answers? Ask the right questions.

Will Toyota and Honda actually change the building industry? We've been promised pre-fab will change the face of the building industry for 30 years...is it really the future?
36 min - 36 - Roofs 101
