このコンテンツについて

THE GOOD news: our homebuilding industry is jam-packed with new materials, new techniques, and new systems, and it’s so easy to get information online in an instant. THE

BAD news: How do we know what we can trust, what will work, and under what conditions? Where do we turn to separate the spin-and-hype from the true-and-square? We’ve got you covered! The UnBuild It Podcast is an industry-leading opportunity to get good information. UnBuild It podcast is a three-member team – Peter Yost, Building Scientist; Jake Bruton, Builder, and Remodeler; and Steven Baczek, Architect. We are nationally recognized industry leaders: Jake as a homebuilder, Steve as an architect, and Peter as a building scientist. You can find us at leading homebuilding industry events, in top-notch publications, and online media outlets. We believe that solid industry-related information has four key ingredients;

RELEVANCE: You need insight on your job site. Jake, Steve, and Peter are in the field regularly doing what we strive to do. We walk the walk – then talk about the walk. We have worked together long enough to build on each other’s expertise and not take ourselves too seriously. We are among the best at taking what may seem like complicated concepts, breaking them down, and turning them into job-site-ready breakthroughs.

ACCURACY: Jake is often quoted as saying, “Trust but Validate.” We don’t ask you to be the bleeding, leading edge; we develop trusted solutions based on our work in the field, pushing each other to practice what we preach. Our accuracy comes out of triangulation: building, design, and performance.

UTILITY: We guarantee that each podcast episode will move you from all ears to all action. Our information is born from our work. We pride ourselves on delivering information you can use the same day you listen to an episode.

CAMARADERIE: We work together because we love homebuilding, hitting the airwaves, and humor. We are not doing our job if you are not enjoying learning with us during each episode.

  • 133 - Deep Dive on That Pesky Transition: Top-of-Foundation/Bottom-of-Above-Grade Wall
    2025/06/05

    Should exterior above-grade wall sheathing or framing line up flush to the outside face of the foundation? Is sealing the bottom of the above-grade wall and foundation with a sill sealer product like Protecto Wrap Triple Guard a good idea? This sets off Jake, Steve, and Pete on balancing water protection, air sealing, and drying potential at this key transition and challenges for control layer continuity. Finally, Steve gets TMI with his sleeping arrangements with his wife...

    PETE'S RESOURCES:

    • Protecto Wrap Triple Guard
      • NOTE: It is interesting that in their installation drawing, the framed wall is stepped out to line up the framing with the foundation, but they do not lap the sheathing down over the foundation.
    • Huber ZIP Sheathing bottom-of-above grade-wall Detail(s)
      • NOTE: 4 details with "Scenario 4" being spot on for the UnBuild It guys...
    • Above-Grade Concrete Foundation Waterproofing

  • 132 - The Pre-Construction Process?
    2025/05/15

    Plenty of reasons for the question mark: Pete wondered what this term really meant; Jake points out that for most of his career, he was not involved in this process as a builder; Steve gets pretty heated when this process does not include budget (at least a realistic budget...). Gem here from Steve: "70% of a home's budget is hardwired into the number of square feet."

  • 131 - Two Q's: Isn't ZIP-R backwards? Shouldn't we rainscreen roofs as well as walls?
    2025/05/01

    Two great questions on which the boys pontificate in fine
    form. Yes, ZIP-R is "backwards" (rigid insulation interior to
    structural sheathing) but that does not mean that it doesn't work; it
    does, just differently. So why don't we typically rain screen roof
    claddings? The short answer is it always costs more, regardless of the
    type of roof cladding. But you know the saying: vent until you
    can't...

    NOTE: - An Apology: Pete keeps saying "vinyl siding" when he means
    "vinyl wallpaper" in terms of what many older homes see as newly added
    covering over failed/failing plaster... Oh, and we can endlessly
    apologize for Steve's parting "jokes"...

    PETE'S RESOURCES:
    - "Calculating minimum thickness of rigid foam sheathing"

    NOTE: Martin Holladay has more than one seminal GBA blog on the topic
    of adding continuous exterior rigid insulation to meet code--and even
    better--for greater energy efficiency and maintained moisture
    management.
