  • There's just something about the closing that just makes me smile - ONnn the BUILD SHOW!
  • @michaelklein496
    This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things youtube.com/post/UgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3H… , also does offer some steps. Includes pictures to give you ideas for layouts and such. If you are looking for a guide, this is not exactly what you want. But if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the way that pole barn building and other out buildings, are made, then this will work just as you need it to. A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.

    I could listen to this dude talk all day... whole different level of building.
  • @NiklasNorlen
    This is the first build I've seen from the states that is simular to scandinavian building technologies!
  • Steve Baczek has such amount of knowledge and experience, it's a real pleasure to listen to him.
  • @rangelo10

  • @anywherebc23

  • @biomorphic
    If you look close you can read that the windows are Schueco. They are built in Germany. The architect knows his stuff, those windows are really the best in the world. The owner of the building I was living in, installed these windows in the entire building, included my flat. And I can tell you that these windows are great, better than any other brand.
  • @systematic101
    Those European windows are awesome. I have them on my house and they seal perfectly. It's also nice to be able to tilt them open for a light increase in air flow and be able to open them fully if you want a large flow of air. They can be pricey but they are worth it.
  • My two favorite teachers! Great Master Class on water and air management. Great ZIP System R-sheathing use in that R-45 assembly.
  • @sanford195

  • @TheSnekkerShow

  • @jpontiac4294
    Very impressive. ...looks like a very cozy home when finished cost wise!!!
  • Steve is a great presenter, a wealth of knowledge, and truly is the definition of an architect; a master builder.
  • When i built my man cave room here in Alaska i used a combination of rigid foam panels several inches thick plus fiberglass insulation. The wall is nearly a foot thick.
  • @reedtower6310
