Yeah, yeah, I have got SkillsUSA on my mind… 2 years ago I posted this goodie with a plea not to do this: I know who in their right mind would have taught them that this was okay to do… Well would you believe it was in the “Presentation” video & shown under appearance? Oops […]
My take: Soft Skills or are you always Selling
Wow has this year flown by – it’s hard to believe that in just two weeks I will be back at SkillsUSA for the TeamWorks event. I know. What in the world does that have to do with selling? Well one of the key components of this competition has nothing to do with the actual […]
Getting the details right: Fully Aligned Air Barrier
Don’t you just love engineers & others that use terms like fully aligned air barriers, or in code speak require that insulation be in “substantial contact and continuous alignment with building envelope air barrier…”? I think the term many are thinking of is, clearer than mud. This is one reason why we end up with […]
#KBTribeChat: Can’t we all just get along?
This next Wednesday at 2 PM EST, I invite you to join me & a host of other Kitchen & Bath Designers, architects, manufacturers & contractors as we dig into that age old problem; now why can’t we all just get along? For many of us, we know the joys of a well run project […]
A Wednesday What Is It?
This week we have an interesting one that you probably won’t see in the States… This picture comes to us from across the pond from Ireland & is courtesy of Darren O’Gorman of the Target Zero Group. This is from a house that they were performing a Passiv Haus Certification on. Ah yes, what is […]
BS4D: Air Barrier’s
An Air Barrier is technically defined as an item that has been tested to only allow for a certain amount of air to pass or permeate through it. The official standard is that an item should have an air permeance level of less than 0.02 L/(s•m2) @ 75 Pa (0.004 cfm/ft2 @ 1.57 lb/ft2.) In […]
Safety Sunday: Reminder, it only takes a split second
One split second of inattention is all it takes… Just as a friendly reminder, it doesn’t matter how much you know, how safe you normally are, all it takes is one bad call or a split second of inattention & you can find yourself injured. For me I got this nice little reminder on Memorial […]
Wacky Weds; Composite Decking Lawsuits & Issues
Recently some calls out for help have been made on some homeowner / DIY friendly boards about forming a class action lawsuit. The culprit? Why it is some composite decking manufacturers & in particular AZEK, Correct Deck / GAF, TimberTech & Trex. With the exception of AZEK (the start), it appears that most are in […]
My take; Tornados, Storm Shelters & the Codes
The last two weeks we got to see Mother Nature’s furry once again as she rolled across parts of the US & Canada & showed us why Tornado Alley is such an appropriate name. The storms from the 15th were quickly overshadowed by an outbreak that started on the 18th & really grabbed the media’s […]
Wacky Weds; Still Learning
One of my favorite sites for providing some really good content is Green Expo 365 & this last week they held 2 webinars dealing with Indoor Air Quality. Below is the results of one of the polls taken… I got to say I was surprised at the numbers and had to double check the wording to […]
