Part 2: LOW BUDGET Details For A High Performance BUILD

I like how Scott uses his own house to experiment on in order to make informed decisions for clients homes based on his own real world experience. A true craftsman.

3 Things from Scott's building practices: 1) framing to slab connection, 2) Wall to roof connection, 3) All holes you poke through (pipes, wires, windows, and doors, anything that is a hole). There are so many ways to air seal....Pick one air seal practice, but be thorough. Right on Scott. Noted with thanks💯👍

Need more Scottent! It's excellent budget minded stuff like this that makes everything that the build show talks about attainable for the everyman. It's cool to see multi-million dollar one offs but it's more exciting to see what's real.

Yes, Come Back Matt! 💯 👍 I really like this Scott fella! ⭐👍 He is trying to show us that you can build an air tight home without going over the top, and he comes across as sincere and very keen to try different things and work things out. Not only that but to give us the heads up on making a mock up so that the trades people can see what to do....Scott! Thank you so much for all your smart work.☺🇨🇦 Matt, please return and give Scott more time to explain so much more.....we can call it the Scot Build Show, and have both the Build Boston Build show to keep a wide audience interested. Some of us are not millionaires so Scott is more out sort of builder to listen too and look to apply or purchase the lower budget items and ideas.

I met Scott at the National Builder show and talked to him for quite awhile. He is always looking for creative solutions to make his homes better. We need more innovators like him.

It’s great! My shed has been completed and it turned out nice looking and sturdy and it is way better than the sheds that many of my neighbors had put up. Of course, I'm pleased with the outcome and this Ryan’s youtube.com/post/UgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY… Plans was extremely useful to me as a guide.

I love the budget details. Scott True needs to be added as a regular guest to the Build Show.

Scott is where most of us aspire to be one day, Matt’s level is on another level, so it’s nice to see Scott’s content for us regular builders.

scott kills it. clearly a good guy doing things the right way.

Really like this guy honesty is most important characteristic a man could have.

I'm not a builder, but have learned so much. I'm amazed how many somewhat luxury buildings I see going up that don't do anything for performance.

MORE OF THESE! I'm subscribed to both of you, but the world needs more videos like this. Budget friendly/high-quality homes. The world we live in today makes it SO expensive to build and content like this is of paramount importance not just to homeowners but to regular/run of the mill builders out there who aren't building million dollar + homes but still getting that quality but at a lower price point 🙏

Good on you for the charitable spotlight. I hope everyone that is able to helps out in any way possible!

Scott is such a rock star - I love the way he is bringing these details to a more attainable market with thoughtful decision making and building science fundamentals. This is the kind of thinking we need to address the big challenges in the housing market at large!

One thing that stuck out to me was the OSB on the roof. Anecdotally, In building our own home we were trying to lift different panels into place using a grabo vacuum lifting handle (shout-out to GRABO) . No matter how we tried though we found that we just couldn't lift regular OSB. Lifting zip sheathing from the coated side would work and the vacuum pump would cycle on and off occasionally. Manufacturer told us uncoated OSB is just too porous to pull a vacuum on. Now, practically this may not matter in a house that is slightly pressurized via ERV like Scott is doing, but it was a powerful example in how much air could pass through a seemingly solid sheet of material. I could imagine that making a difference on a blower door test for sure.

Scott to join the build show network permanently IMO, dude is a pioneer and not afraid to put his own money out there to try new things!

God Bless EveryShelter and carpenter (once and always) Scott Key. Builders concerned with all aspects of housing, even when it is simple basic needs,
like getting your family off the cold earth in the winters in a Turkey disaster area.

It’s fun to see the things we can’t afford and dream… but it’s SUPER fun to see practical ways we can realistically get more & better performance!

Good God, Matt. If you spent a whole series just touring how builders across the areas are making newer tech work in their niche. That would be some really even better content than the already great content we get all the time. I loved this episode! Thanks !!

Love that Scott is putting the money where it gets the biggest bang for the buck. As I am on the hunt for property I long to find a home builder like Scott in Idaho!

Woohoo!!! Looking forward to more scott content and cost effective Home performance building

Love Scott and his way of thinking, would love to see a follow-up when his house is finished!
