Dear Matt, please buy Steve a microphone windsock. Thanks, Love, all your subscribers. Oh and great information. Got sidetracked by the air infiltration into the microphone. 😊
Steve, love the protection level you go to for water. In the full video you have a drain inside the wall and outside the wall. Do you ever put 2 inside or outside just in case one clogs over time? Love the fact you mentioned the 10" walls - I looked up the reason and the software I'm playing with does 8" by default which in modern houses may not be sufficient.
This is all news to me. The protection board was only some cheap board to protect the waterproofing and drainage board and a real drainage system like Mira-drain. I do like fluid applied waterproofing that some systems ignore. In the link video your use of SketchUp and general detail for the foundation is top notch. Great that you can work with the concrete contractor.
Steve, I love your solutions! People still insist on putting in fireplaces with new houses despite that they get used about twice a year at most. Have you ever designed a newer chimney solution that isn't a heat suck most of the year? The cap is probably about an R3 at most.
Hi Steve -- Huge thanks for all the instructive content. I have a question about the wall design and continuity. Instead of installing the 2x Block, would it not make sense to continue the ext 2" rigid insulation all the way down below grade to the footing? I know this is a remodel, so that might be cost/structurally prohibitive. In your video on insulating slab and foundation, you show 2" foam board on the outside of the foundation wall to protect it during the back fill. Does that foam board stop at grade level leaving a section of exposed foundation, or does it tie into the exterior layer of rigid insulation on the outside of the framed walls. I'm sure you cover this somewhere in a video. You're the man! Thanks - Stevenson (Fairview Design/Construction)
@@guytech7310 the fiberglass loses most it’s effective r value when wet, which it will be a good portion of the time. It’s drain rate is not as good as dimple Matt, though both are adequate except in huge floods. It’s also more $$ as it’s a branded product, no competition.
Build Show Network i also just tried this on my MacBook with Safari and it also has the same issue. I should note that I was using safari on my iPhone too.
It’s not just about keeping the water out it is also about letting the concrete dry. If the concrete is completely sealed, as a porous material, it holds water inside. The water needs a way out as well,so the top of the foundation needs to be able to release out instead of holding moisture inside the concrete or house.

We just got started bud, we are working our way up, improvements getting worked in
ROCKWOOL Comfortboard 80 is also a great product in that location. Fast Drainage and Termite resistant!

Doing alot of sealed wood stoves
@@stevenbaczekarchitect9431 Thanks.
What stops the insulation being crushed? Wouldn’t you want the moisture not to get into the insulation?
The fiberglass panels are pretty stiff and are difficult to crush. They are certainly more durable that foam insulation panels.
@@guytech7310 And water doesn't challenge them
You guys really need to enable 2x speed on your build show network videos. Please.
It's an option on every video on RUclips.. You just have to go to playback speeds.
Nima Soleimany the video on youtube is only a preview
How long will it take for the sediment to fill the pores of that fiberglass board?
Great tip Steve!!

So, do you think the protection board is superior to the dimple mat that Matt has shown off a few times?
Yes, because it also provides insulation. The fiberglass board does not degrade or get infilterated by insects like rigid foam panels do.

steve good clip. It seems it was cut shot for youtube. keep up the good work and your videos will improve just as Matt's videos improved over time.
Yes, we are on our way up - thanks for the encouragement
Will termites enterRock insulation?
Anyone know where part 2 is?
Is that a 50 year system?
The build show hosted videos have an issue with the audio getting out of sync with the video as the video progresses.
We’ve been working on different bugs as this is only version One of our website - What device and browser are you having this issue on?
Build Show Network I’m using the latest version of iOS with my iPhone 11 Pro
Build Show Network i also just tried this on my MacBook with Safari and it also has the same issue. I should note that I was using safari on my iPhone too.
@@BuildShowNetwork Same out of sync issue here. I'm on a PC. win 10 Pro, Chrome browser with everything up to date.
How do you keep rats and other small wildlife from getting into the drainage system?
How is this insulation not a harbinger of mold?
Its outside and below grade? It's fiberglass, no mold food
@@stevenbaczekarchitect9431 I see, it looked soft.
Might be a stupid question but why do they stop that black membrane at the exact level of the board? Can it be sprayed up higher? Is it not UV stable?
I assume its not uv stable, and second cost. prosoco and polywall are something like 550 for 5 gallons.
Plus, do you want to see black above grade?
It’s not just about keeping the water out it is also about letting the concrete dry. If the concrete is completely sealed, as a porous material, it holds water inside. The water needs a way out as well,so the top of the foundation needs to be able to release out instead of holding moisture inside the concrete or house.
Not very pretty (ugly) . and not nessairly above grade (unless you get a lot of snow above grade.
@@joshperrythree Exactly
Just put Xypex in the concrete before you pour it and don't worry about any of that. Problem solved.
a basement is a waist of money
Andrey Cham why do you say that. I am currently building with a walkout basement that will allow my father in law to live with me.
Must've never had a basement--they rock! And it is "waste."
@@the_proffit76a living space above ground is cheaper and more comfortable
@@cpad007 I would rather spend money on solar panels than on a basement
Maybe you need to rewatch the tornado video!
