I still like the horizontal installation for the zip because it staggers the seams better. Maybe I'm wrong. I like regular plywood anyway and TWO layers of Tyvek, which is the recommended installation.
I believe this insulation math needs to be combined with HVAC math to bring costs down. If one is using a Mitsubishi “34-SEER” to heat and cool with fans running 24/7, your consuming the amount of energy of a “space heater” to heat & cool the entire house. Almost to the the point of going “net-negative “ in energy consumption. That said, I want a 6 foot by 6 foot farmers fireplace 2 feet off the ground. Real wood burning.
The Huber ZIP R-X Sheathing-system makes your wall vapor tight which is not something you want with a wooden framed wall. Even worse, it makes your wall vapor thight at the outside which is something to avoid at all cost in a cold climate. What you need are walls that are *air tight but vapor open* at both sides of the wall, such a wall can be used in all climate zones and with all kinds of insulation material between those two air tight layers. The insulation material should also be vapor open. For walls below grade, a vapor tight layer can be used but only at the outside.
if you ever get to Vancouver Island contact me i will buy you lunch ... I live in Brentwood bay ... reach out if you want a free lunch on me ..would be cool to meet you really old man talks to Young man

Beautiful home.
Vapour is the fourth control layer. Rain screens are just such a no brainer for the longevity if an assembly.
I love these videos
Wish I could be a house with the Awesome Framer
Air, water, thermal, sound
You forgot spiritual
Dude ! Where can I get Pants like that ??

Interesting-I thought it was pronounced Grand “Main-an” Island! Well done.
Buncha ten year olds! Pretty obvious that Tim and Steve need chaperones ha ha! 😅😂👏🏻👏🏻
😂😂😂😂
Why do you think 5/12 slope is perfect?
what island did you go to I cant find grand banana island in Canada
Grand Manan.
Is that a half inch gap above the window in the very beginning? lol
Vapor Control, I think?
It’s woodchuck to gray squirrel 😅
I love that you know that 😂😂
Vapor.
Now we know why Huber has 1 1/8 flooring - to hold Steve😂. I think you need to film Steve eating meals - that's gotta be a hoot.
So WHY can't you use stainless steel fasteners?
@@jamesoncross7494 for us they are still soft a metal for shear
@@AwesomeFramers even if you use a larger gauge?
@@jamesoncross7494 I really don't know. I should check, that's just what I've been told in the past.
Does mice or chipmunks or ants get into the foam
Or termites? Some people have a hard time with the idea of using ICF for this reason as well. What is the best mitigation for insects?
The missing control layer is water vapour.
Bug

TREMCO HORIZON COAT. 5gal. $800 + tax. Ouch that is expensive.
expensive compared to what? Over it's useful lifespan, vs any other products is it really that expensive?
