    Q&A: Why We Didn't Put Exterior Insulation On Our New Home
    Oct 28 2025

    This is a great question! I urge everyone to put exteiror insulation on their homes if they're building new (even in hot climates), so why didn't I do it for my own new home?

    Exterior insulation is rigid insulation that goes on the outside of your exterior walls, behind the siding. You can also put exterior insulation on your roof, but this question is specific about the walls.

    Q&A: Basement vs Slab on Grade - Which One's Better?
    Oct 21 2025

    This Q&A question is asking whether it's better to do basements or slab on grade.

    Of course, it depends on where you live, so make sure you get local structural and soils (geotechnical) advice before making any decisions on your home's foundation :)
