I just stumbled upon these videos and I found them to be the most informative videos on building construction I've ever seen.All the videos are talks done by Joe Lstiburek, Ph. D., P.Eng, ASHREA Fellow, he's an expert in building construction. They mostly focus on insulation, venting, and moisture control.After watching the videos the state of home construction and repair is even more dismal than even I've thought it was. This stuff is so simple, once explained by an expert. Each video is about an hour long, but well worth the investment. Joe not only explains the science of how it should be done, but also explains the why behind the how, and does it in a way that's accessible to anyone.This video is concerned with [roofs and roof ventilation]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ld8pzIu45F8) If you have your HVAC system in your attic this video at the 4:43 mark will scare you.This video is focused on general construction, walls, floors and roofsThis video is focused on moisture management especially windows and window installation In this video you learn how to install a window properly.I'm now going up to my attic and eliminating all air leaks through my ceiling plane, installing my wind baffle and prep for adding more fluffy stuff to my attic. via /r/DIY http://ift.tt/2jt0dPO
