    @nikkikiska 0 seconds ago I don't know what chemicals are in this guy's hair product and leaching into his brain, but the rendering of that house looks anything but "nestled into the landscape" or "settled into the site." The rendering shows a house that looks likes its right half is perched atop a bunch of pushed up/graded dirt and the left half is about to collapse into that hideous void reminiscent of a high rise's rear service entry. Then he goes on and on about the "relationships" and "considerations" for the foundation layout, then a couple minutes later we find out that that footprint is just the same as the prior house but "extended in the back left."

  • @runmarkrunheinrich
    @runmarkrunheinrich Před 7 dny

    You touch on it briefly, but I don’t think it’s covered enough regarding CLT. It is more than framing, but can be the finish surface for walls, ceilings and potentially floors. All wins for cost and schedule. You can balloon frame a single family home in a few days with fewer joints to detail. With exterior insulation long rain screen screws don’t have to hit studs blind and can be at any spacing. It just seems like a, elegant solution with a big upside structurally, aesthetically, and logistically.

    Wow I don’t know where you found him I’ve worked with several architects over the years on cape cod and none of them seemed half as smart as him and never seem to relate well or have a good l to the actual construction of how it all goes together he is very very impressive. I’ve always said every architect should have to work a year in the field to really see how it all work. You can have the highest quality subs and carpenters but without proper planning and knowing how everything works together you can never achieve the highest levels of quality. Heads up I think you might be even pickier than me on the framing or at least the same plan on days of power planning walls flat and modifying walls to fit right. I know it saves a lot of time but I just know you won’t be happy with the quality it’s not as bad as a modular home it’s right between that and a custom stick home it’s not even all their fault you just can’t calculate so many wall sections to add up to the exact measurement you want it’s not possible with the lumber available today.

    @Ryanandboys Před 12 dny

    I think all the guys here in the chat that have been saying how the trades have sucked for a while I'm missing the point I think you can all realize that the last probably 35 years have not been great for people in the trades unless if you own a business or are in a certain area where you can charge a lot but the next 20 years are going to be a lot better because of supply and demand and there's a huge under supply of people that can do that work we're not talking about the past or talking about the future.

I've seen them bang through plastic siding. THANKS!!!
