Oh my goodness why didn’t YouTube recommended earlier. I love this channel. So much to learn thank you.

[Mecknificent]

The attention to detail and the care in these houses is astonishing. All builders should strive to be at this level.

Bonus for the Poly-ash - Duration or any Boral trim, because it doesn't expand/contract you no need paint the ship lap or T&G edges prior to install. There won't be any "raw wood" showing when it shrinks, because poly-ashsh doesn't move. 1/32+ on 16'. Great Product. Heads up there is a learning curve in handling it to avoid breaking the mouldings etc.

When I like something, I focus on every little detail. And that is why I like this channel because the care, the love and the passion is here. I love watching it. Blesses to your team and work you guys do.

Collaboration: always seems to give the smoothest - Best jobs.
Thanks Nick i learn a lot from your videos.

Watch out for the electrical boxes with flanges, because they bulge the drywall.

They're super important for the interior air barrier, as you described, so you gotta recess a section of the stud a bit for the electrician, or mount multigang boxes on blocking that's ripped to the right width.

Most people wouldn't notice the flaring of the wall, but I do.

Absolutely insane detail…can’t even imagine the budget on this

[SuperMcgenius]

Good forward thinking, love the attention to details.

Looks so good! It’s like I have a ten page questionnaire to ask potential builders😅 “How do you do X? What method do you prefer for Y?” Question on this house: What are the in-line fans for? The laundry/dryer vent?

[jaredkraus]

what a beautiful home great work as usual!!

[craiguglandrealty]

Appreciate the explanation to detail and fine homebuilding!

[daversj]

That framing looks very nice.
Do you do a full pan and drain in the 2nd floor laundry room? Linear drain done with Schluter on the back wall behind the machines is trick.

[igorkomerzan]

Amazing attention to detail! I noticed you used quite a bit of flex pipe for your hvac system. Hard pipe is far superior to flex, any reason why you’re using flex over hard pipe? thanks!

[Deviloveinamish]

Intentionality is the difference. Looks like Mike builds the job backwards from finish.

[strawberriebabieex]

great job. i like the use of Rock Wool. stable, non-combustible, and i would assume inert. regarding the spray foam in the roof, and some of the new glues and chauling being used, has consideration for "off-gassing" toxic airborne chemicals. is there a way to measure that and since the house is so well sealed, that the captured gas does not impact residents health. also have the fire rating been checked. sometimes i like to subject a mockup of a component to on-site fire test to understand where the components are vulnerable.

[AF-O]

Everything about this build has been beautiful, bespoke quality. It made me sad to see the hacking of the plywood to fit the load center. Of course it will look fine on finish, but shame on who ever cut it, and didn’t bother to keep the cut square and neat.

[cressdiligent]

Maybe exxplaine what a fly ash product is when when you explain what a fly ash product is

[rileydeering]

Can you tell us about your close out SOP?

[DL-byel]

How would this compare in price to shingle siding?

[Paul-Antoine-te]

There that funny thing running around saying only 1 nail per plank, i call ot bs, i put 2
