A walk-through of a drywall lift for ceilings and a drywall lift for walls

Framing walls using OSB with integrated weather resistive barrier (WRB) speeds the dry-in process and simplifies the air barrier

A two-day concrete driveway pour compressed to an informative eleven minutes

Probably. Four hours of clamping is enough for the wood glue to be stronger than the wood

All clothes dryers should vent directly outside

A construction calculator makes quick work of complicated hip and valley roof framing

You only need to move the drywall knife in two passes, up, down, done, and repeat for the second coat of drywall compound

Peel and stick housewrap from sheds water and stops air. A mesh rainscreen allows drainage and drying

Sealing big and little holes in walls, floors, and ceilings with caulks, sealants, and spray foams
