Such a gorgeous book - each shed is unique and inspiring, and I love all the tiny details Kotite features to help readers imagine how to create their own She Sheds ruclips.net/user/postUgkxe9yi0sulKgsp0VJJCIrLWWkvVqcU7LFR . The feature on Dinah's Rustic Retreat is like something from a fairy tale. It's really inspiring to see how creative all these ordinary people are in making beautiful and useful spaces on a modest scale.
Great builder. I wish all builders would have the same attention to the details. I see so many that because, “no one will see it”, it doesn’t matter. Great work.
Great episode! It was awesome to get such a full tour, and it was really cool that Wade was willing to explain every detail. Totally rad that he did the sign off with you! No, it is not dorky at all; I and my whole family love the, "On...the BUILD SHOW!" It's television; it's branding; it's a catchphrase; and it's all awesomeness all the time.
Finally a more familiar style of building! Glad to see I'm not the only one using regular studs and mineral wool now and then. Looks like Wade is working towards better building techniques but staying realistic!
such a good video. wade had an answer for everything. and those plans were legit. i hate it when the plans a done poorly. As a carpenter, i really enjoyed this video. thanks
This is a great video. I am from the North and live in the south, but I truly miss the care that goes into home building. This house is not only in one of my favorite places on Earth, but going to be an incredible home.. Matt, I hope you will do a final video on this place just before it is turned over to the owners....
Great Job everyone, it is nice to see the attention to detail and new products solving old problems. I like the idea of the Gabrel roof as it delivers more space yet the gable looks smarter. Keep these videos coming Matt, we love your videos down here in Australia, and look forward to the next one =)
Always love these videos, even if I'm not building whole houses I know how I should be fixing them to help my customers have better R Value and construction! Plus it's neat seeing RI style architecture!
I just talked to the foundation insulation manufacturer. It is called ShcokWave by Mar-Flex. It is actually R-3.48 per inch, they market R-9 for the 1" and R-13.5 for the 2", they included a certain thickness of earth against the insulation which, I would say, falsy boosted their marketed R-Value. Still, a really cool product and a decent R-Value per inch, considering it is also a drainage mat.
Good to see the cedar breather. Back in the day we used to just put the cedar shingles on furring strips in New England. Roofs had no sheathing and when the shingles where dry you could often see daylight through them in spots from inside the attic. As soon as it rained the shingles swelled and sealed the rain. Pretty cool to see how process has progressed in years (decades) since.
Good to see the results that excellent building practices provide. I just got my residential builders license in Michigan and I’m starting my own gig. I’ve worked for some decent people and unfortunately I’ve worked for some hacks. Thanks for the tips. Greatly appreciated
@@JTamilio Where I'm at, we call it "Dutch Style." I think I'm in the South, except anyone from "The Real South" (aka South Carolina) will say I'm not. Then again, people who live in Charleston will tell you anyone not in Charleston isn't in the South. I'm about 4 hours north of Charleston, so I guess I'm really a Northerner. I reckon all the people who live south of Charleston just live south of "The South."
"The customer was on a budget, so we're using traditional joist lumber." "Ah cool, and this recess in the basement concrete?" "Oh yea, that's for the elevator."
That's a theme for all his houses, high end contractor, high end clients, high end prices. It's great for him to be in that position but makes a lot of things not applicable to "normal" construction
The laminations, the layers! Let me count them. Modern high-end construction is "obsessed" with single-purpose and perhaps double-purpose layers... closed cell foam, cedar breathers, black waterproofer, etc. And this is only for the framing and foundational stages of construction. Very impressive how there is a closed-cell insulating/waterproofing layer beneath the basement slab. Finally, kudos to the architect, on so many counts... including inclusion of an elevator. Aging homeowners have mobility problems, and the only way to properly address those is with original design of the building.
There are a couple of builders he has spot lighted and wow. I am not sure such a good contractor is even in my area. I am learning of so many materials and building techniques I doubt any build here uses. If this guy build my home I wouldn't want to move knowing other homes would likely be disappointing.
If you're going to build in New England and on Ocean-front property you MUST take every precaution that Wade has employed in this build. This house will easily last 200-300 years and longer with proper maintenance. Yes it's expensive....but wait till see how much it costs to "Go on the cheap". Excellent work!!
Fun Fact: King Ranch sprawls across 825,000 acres of South Texas land, an area larger than the state of Rhode Island. Folks from Rhode Island usually get a kick out of that.
closed cell foam under the concrete slab in the basement all the way up to the floor joists for the first floor. that is so crazy intelligent and will save the homeowner likely thousands in heating bills over the lifetime of the home.
Building hasn't started yet, but maybe when it does, should check out the largest timber tower in the Western Hemisphere being built here in Milwaukee. I'm curious if you could take a look at that and show how it's being done.
East coast always builds and trims out the gables and walls before standing and strapping is there to tie the parallel walls to the joist. The codes are much different in the east coast compared to Texas.
Wow ! This contractor IS very meticulous / impressive. Job well done (in progress). Very impressed. I just wonder, does it make the build that much more expensive, I mean "we are on a budget" ? ?
Love seeing the quality! 30 years ago the methods/quality used in this high end build were standard practice for most every GC in the north east. it's sad the quality of craftmenship hasn't kept up with the quality of modern materials.
awesome. so many different bylaw requirements for each geographical location never mind meeting the customers' budget. And yeah the tag line is dorky, but you got the numbers (ie eyeballs).
Let’s get this straight again Matt the 1x3 strapping is mainly used for structural integrity which holds the House together. We don’t depend on the drywall as you do. To do this job. Its lateral bracing evenly spaced across the whole structure. You should try this in Texas for a stronger overall house. Thanks
Mmmm... Actually, the strapping will allow slightly longer joists spans (e.g. 1' or so), reduce deflection of the floor slightly, and more importantly help reduce squeaking. Strapping does not "hold the house together" in any significant manner. As far as the strapping allowing the builder to make the ceiling flatter, that's another reason to use I-Joists.
I’m surprised you didn’t ask about why he didn’t insulate the headers instead of using wood. That is always something I got from your advanced framing videos.
Money or structure or fire. He did solid wood joists which are safer in fire, cheaper in short spans than i-joists. I'd assume some sort of analysis was done for headers as well.
Yes, all that solid wood transmits heat profusely. Still, this isn't Churchill Manitoba. But I see heat waste in this RI location. Oh heck, if the homeowner can afford this house, he can afford some considerable heating expenses in winter. That's over 3K sq feet of living space, and likely high ceilings everywhere. VERY INTERESTING moisture barrier construction, to me. I'm in SoCal and I believe any moisture barrier in SoCal should be on the exterior of the structural wall materials. In Rhode Island, the opposite is observed. So those timbers have to breathe (inhale, exhale!) OUTSIDE air. Modern tight construction is problematic to moisture-caused decay, otherwise... a point Matt has hammered upon in other videos.
Matt I love your videos. You are so knowledgable. Matt can you build a stick frame house in Jamaica? Bearing in mind that it’s an earthquake zone and also we have problems with insects. I am from the UK but now living in Jamaica. Want to build my house and need some ideas.

Great builder. I wish all builders would have the same attention to the details. I see so many that because, “no one will see it”, it doesn’t matter. Great work.
I really appreciate that the music is not mixed way louder than the rest of the video now. It's not obnoxious and out of place like in old videos.
Great episode! It was awesome to get such a full tour, and it was really cool that Wade was willing to explain every detail. Totally rad that he did the sign off with you! No, it is not dorky at all; I and my whole family love the, "On...the BUILD SHOW!" It's television; it's branding; it's a catchphrase; and it's all awesomeness all the time.
Man, I really like this builder.
Finally a more familiar style of building! Glad to see I'm not the only one using regular studs and mineral wool now and then. Looks like Wade is working towards better building techniques but staying realistic!
Matt, your videos are getting better and better. Thanks from England, UK
alantyth do you feel like the UK is way behind with timber frame when you watch Matts videos?! I wish they did zip here.
@@shandyooo timber frame is way more environmentally friendly than concrete or brick and mortar
I love Matt because he encouraged every project and shared knowledge for better builders.
I really wish we could find this kind of building quality in the South. These guys really take pride in their work, and it shows.
I’m an engineer and I work mostly in concrete and steel. However, I love to see residential wood construction. Good stuff!
The Build Show sign off is great, it always makes me laugh. Keep up the great videos!
My wife even says it now from the other room when I cast videos to the TV.
Love when Matt and Wade get together, awesome stuff.
such a good video. wade had an answer for everything. and those plans were legit. i hate it when the plans a done poorly. As a carpenter, i really enjoyed this video. thanks

Love Wade and his projects, hope you keep finding an excuse to get out to visit his sites some more in the future.
Great Job everyone, it is nice to see the attention to detail and new products solving old problems. I like the idea of the Gabrel roof as it delivers more space yet the gable looks smarter. Keep these videos coming Matt, we love your videos down here in Australia, and look forward to the next one =)
Loved the longer version of the Build Show!
Love, love, LOVE the metal wall bracing. What a great idea. I bet if more framers try it our they'll never go back.
That's top crafstmanship and really clean framing.
“See you next time ON THE BUILD SHOW!”.....”That is so dorkie, dude.........”, but I look forward to it with every video. Keep them coming!!
Yes, Never get rid of "ON THE BUILD SHOW"
Older videos are hard to watch. Mustache and no BUILD SHOWat the end😎
i like it!
Its SO dorkie but i love it lmao
I kept catching myself hearing the outro theme song in my head, so I had to have one too. First guitar playing since the 90's.
Always love these videos, even if I'm not building whole houses I know how I should be fixing them to help my customers have better R Value and construction! Plus it's neat seeing RI style architecture!
Great job site! You knew he cared about quality when the started to talk about the painters tape.
great video guys...keep killin it
Thanks Kyle 👊🏼👊🏼
RR Buildings how do you have time to watch RUclips videos? Haha.
Need to get Matt a new GMC Denali to replace that Toyota
Nicely done Wade. Architect/Engineer spec'ed it well. Your team has done a great job.
I love the long form, a ton of info, not loaded with fluff talk.
Besides all the cool stuff Wade is doing on his job, my favorite part was him calling you a dork with your closing line ;)
I just talked to the foundation insulation manufacturer. It is called ShcokWave by Mar-Flex. It is actually R-3.48 per inch, they market R-9 for the 1" and R-13.5 for the 2", they included a certain thickness of earth against the insulation which, I would say, falsy boosted their marketed R-Value. Still, a really cool product and a decent R-Value per inch, considering it is also a drainage mat.
Great video gentlemen and appreciate the knowledge share. Learn something new with every video and enjoy seeing how the pros do it in each market!
WOW , lots of new stuff :) THANKS mister PEACE

Amazing! Great details on the build. Thank you for the video.
Who makes better videos than Matt? so good
Great video Matt. Wade is an awesome easy going guy. Easily can tell he provides huge value. Hard to find in a crowded market place of hacks.
One of your best.
Long video? That felt short! Great Video Matt
I was thinking the same thing lol
His wife says that too...
@@stormagorist6129 WOW
really good detailed walk through. be great to see more vids like this!
don't stop Matt I like your out take "On The Build Show" :) :) :) thank-you; thank-you; thank-you. :) I like it :)
Don't listen to him Matt. I only watch your videos for the awesome sign off. You are slowly perfecting it. Keep up the great work!
Grate build, thanks for the video Matt!
Thanks for doing more northern projects!
Good to see the results that excellent building practices provide. I just got my residential builders license in Michigan and I’m starting my own gig. I’ve worked for some decent people and unfortunately I’ve worked for some hacks. Thanks for the tips. Greatly appreciated
Very nice video, good job Matt.
Love the insulated basement slab idea.
Legend has it, Matt is still wondering how to pronounce gambrel.
He is finally starting to try to say Silicone correctly so there's hope.. ;-)
Curtis B
LoL 😆 😆 😆
Doesn't help that his friend is telling him the wrong pronunciation.
I grew up in the North, and they said it like that, but since I moved South, it=ve always heard it GAMbruhl - which just sounds right!
@@JTamilio Where I'm at, we call it "Dutch Style."
I think I'm in the South, except anyone from "The Real South" (aka South Carolina) will say I'm not.

10 years ago my dad and I would watch this old house now its the build show!
This builder was on this old house
@@REDCLAYHOMESTEAD Yea that was a good episode!
@@slamrock17 Yeah hes done an episode with this same builder before it was pretty good as well.
Love the video! Thanks for putting out great content, Matt.
Love the show from Maine
Great video. Love the in depth stuff.
Ha I love that. The end of every video I laugh and say what a dork. Love your videos and the dorky sign off
Build show has graduated, dope music.
On THE BUILD SHOW!!! Great vid
this has to be the video of the year, great job!!
Great episode!
"The customer was on a budget, so we're using traditional joist lumber."
"Ah cool, and this recess in the basement concrete?"
"Oh yea, that's for the elevator."
You have something there being a elevator min is $50,000.
I literally thought exactly the same thing.
I like the "it's a small house right, only 3000sq ft."
A cable elevator is more like $20k-$30k.
That's a theme for all his houses, high end contractor, high end clients, high end prices. It's great for him to be in that position but makes a lot of things not applicable to "normal" construction
Excellent video!
GREAT VIDEO MATT!!!
This some good stuff Thax from Minnesota

Very cool build. Thank You.

Agreed. I live 10 mins from this house. Most of my small job work is exterior repair from salt and water damage.

Hey Matt. Great video. Keep them coming.
Great video Matt! Thank you.
Aw Matt...that video was 👏. And ya better not stop saying “on the the Build Show” at the end...🌸..lol
yet again educational and well made!
inspired to get an investment property!

Mike Mymail it’s downtown Milwaukee. urbanmilwaukee.com/2019/01/24/eyes-on-milwaukee-tallest-timber-tower-gets-first-approval/

East coast always builds and trims out the gables and walls before standing and strapping is there to tie the parallel walls to the joist. The codes are much different in the east coast compared to Texas.
No kidding. I'm in a windstorm county and my windstorm inspector wants to look at all of my metal straps before sheathing.
Excellent video.
Great video, great editing!
Very good work.
Some cool features and techniques.
Wades a Pro.
Great video as always, love these videos and seeing everything!
Thanks wade

Doesn't the Zip go over the headers on the outside ? That would be an R-3 plus 6'' of wood making it around R-12 or so.
@@augustreil It still makes sense to include some thermal break.
