@@danch10 You're not completely wrong. I would say if you use that logic, making a profit at all is a form of scamming. Markets drive prices, not the labor and materials involved in making the product. Nike could tank their profits, sell their shoes for a small markup, still make money on the shoe, and sales revenue would plummet because public perception of the brand would have suffered due to the price drop. Nike sells shoes for $120.00 a pair not because of the price of the materials and labor, but because consumers are willing and able to pay that price for a pair of shoes. Nike is not evil for making money. Just like you aren't evil for getting paid to do whatever you do.

The first half of the kzread.infoUgkx3ICSK6nSknaL_45CU2NmFSoXjarGMDiJ book is everything about wood: types, tools, finishes, setting up shop etc. The second half is all about doing projects for inside and outside of the home. The color pictures are helpful. After reading a dozen of these types of books, this is probably the best overall (layout, color photos, plans). Only detraction is that many of the projects use a table saw/router/planer, which are usually expensive and take up space, so the plans are less friendly to newcomers and the budget conscious. But I know I can use a drill, circular saw or a jigsaw to make the projects.

The budgets are so much higher that manufacturers really push to be the top in the market and then it trickles down a few decades later into the residential space.

I was a materials scientist, worked for a well known building materials company for many years and now a big fan of your videos. Highly impressed with your depth of knowledge, focus on quality and being open to all the new advancements.

Having come out of the foster care system in Virginia myself, it warms my heart to hear the aid Dario put in place with his coffee shop. I wish I'd had an opportunity like that at 18/19 yrs old!

As a professional roofer for the past 25 years. I love this roof system. A lot of people are insulating there attics but not venting the roof materials. It makes a big difference. I have run into some disasters on some reroofs that had insulated attics that leaked and the moisture is stuck between roofing and insulation and cannot dry out and rots everything. Keep up the good work.

@MonzaRacer

Rooftop, I have been asking and I'm using a lot of tricks on a post frame building. I intend to use 4ply 2x8 laminated/glued columns, sitting on perma columns, with bookshelf girts. My plans are for 5/12 scissor double trusses (built with 2x6 min), sandwiched in posts with Fasten Master truss lok screws, purlins in brackets. My honest plan was after seeing something similar as this guy, was to use ZipR12 on walls, I was thinking of same on roof, then seal everything and go back over roof with regular Zip sheathing, sealed of course except as roof goes over. My thought was a bent flashing that comes off roof (ZipR12)sealed down and lips over sides(regular pole barn metal to give place for water to come out if needed) then doing like this guy, 1x or 2x4 then the more sheathing sealed to top but vents at edge of roof(no large overhang maybe 1-2 in) and 1 piece 32ft gutters along eaves. I found this rough mesh/bird stop material that's like fire proof and critter proof for between layers of roof to keep it clear. So it's planned as 24x32x22(?)ZipR12 to peak of roof. Then sides of building get metal, then the flashing will ride on roof edge up 12-18in. Cause im in Indiana probably ice and snow shield to edge to seal flashing that will look over side wall about 4-6 in(gutter will butt right against flashing, not sure if it will be alum, stainless or copper) then my plan was the 1x or 2 by 4 going up to screw metal roof too. Leaving air gap but have that fiber/mesh to keep critters out. Not sure if I'll use some roll on extra sealer for roof or just trust two layers of Zip products. My inside plan was keep trusses open except for cord next to roof. They say I can get 2x6 top chord which I can fill between with Rockwool 5 1/2 batts then fit thin set ply wood or melamine or something. I was turned on to a what semigloss antistatic paint to hit exposed parts of trusses to keep dust down. Hope I explained it right. Thoughts?

MonzaRacer not sure why you don’t want a bigger overhang? Being in Indiana which is a lot like Michigan where I am from, there is a lot of benefits to using the overhang for maximizing airflow and generally just getting the elements away from your side walls.

Dario, you are truly a thought leader! Matt, thanks for highlighting craftsmanship and grit in the DFW area. The “git’r done” attitude is awesome!

That is awesome, I have owned/worked for construction companies my whole working life 21 years. I manage a good sized company now, hopefully largest in my area soon. Now as for personal stuff, I go to extremes best I can possibly afford. I don’t worry about manufacturing warranties, when comes to best practices. If I see a long term benefit to said choices, over what they offer. I do commercial/residential projects from few hundreds of dollars to billions of dollars. So really like where this guy is coming from. Use your head, learn, adapt, and grow. Just because someone says you can’t, doesn’t mean in 10-20 years it’s not the standard. Shoot for stars, and never look back!

One of the best shows ever. Made me excited about building again. Incredibly stimulating. Great catch, Matt.

This book kzread.infoUgkxT9ExVpR-3A-9rpRqx8vzXKZ3BMMTg_KH does have a lot of great information on the building of sheds, design ideas, building options, etc. The author goes through the steps to build a foundation, framing, roof, even ideas on internal storage and external finishes. The text is easy to follow and understand. There are many sidebars that give tips and advice which most laymen probably wouldn't have considered. The photographs are great quality too. This is a great book and I'd recommend it highly for anyone needing or interested in building a shed.

Matt, this is by far the most interesting episode you have ever made!

OK, that seals the deal. I've had a similar idea for my roof, and this pretty much seals the deal.

I really liked the roof details, but the bonus La La Land idea for aged out foster kids was the best!

Back in 2007 I built a "Timberpeg" (manufacture's brand) Timber Frame home for myself, and engineered into the roof system was a 2" vented air gap on top of regular plastic. This was on top of 5" of Polyisocynurate, which sat on top of 1/2" structural shear plywood that held the T&G 2x8 fir ceiling decking in place. On top of the 2" air gap was another layer of 3/4" plywood (or snow load is heavy here) and metal roofing on top of that. We did not go through the same efforts as this guy, but I can suggest that roof vented air gap was extremely effective for both summer and winter temps. And I know it wall always stay dry under there.

The author does like to from scratch, kzread.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.

Holy shit cant lie I like that better than the demo mansion

He exemplifies real generosity in making a great difference in these kids lives that have had a the misfortune of a rough start. Just think, to start a business so the kids could not only earn a living but to have a sense of purpose and self respect, have someone care enough to give them a chance and instill the value that their life matters. All I can say, Dario is true gentleman, I salute you. This is capitalism at its finest, thank God the kids didn't have to rely on the government's help just to make them dependent victims in the end. God has a special place reserved for men like you, all the best Dario!

Well done Dario! Not only the house, but love the coffee shop and how you are truly giving back and trying to help. Auguri, and continued success. Matt, would love to see this house progress through the different phases.

What an impressive build going on there. I'm excited and it's still stud walls, hope you get a chance to go back in a few months. I'm just like Dario watch all the videos and learning how to do things right . Gentleman keep up the great work, on the job and as brothers to others.

This house is impressive. Like it. Now to that roof, I like how he combines vented and not vented. That should be effective here in northern Maine as well. To increase roof insulation beyond the Zip-R12, can you make the first layer of 2” structural foam and then add the roof as Dario did? I think this roofing style would work incredibly well on the ICF cabin I want to build. My plan is a basement with a 10’ ceiling, main floor with 12’ or 14’ ceiling and then an open roof structure. Walls are 12” concrete ICF with 2” insulation on both sides. Might add another Zip-R6 or 9 to the outside. With siding and interior finish, that gives me a wall thickness of 20-22 inches. Large casement windows installed close to the outside edge giving me an incredible 16” inside windowsill. I considered a skylight or dome but don’t want openings in the roof. Instead, with the high walls and almost cathedral style roof, I can use the south facing front wall to install lots of windows to brighten up the inside. With our low winter sun, this will make maximise daylight inside. What else is in my design...just a wraparound covered porch, 8 feet deep with a 6/12 roof. Did I mention this is supposed to be a smallish cabin? Footprint (without wraparound porch) of roughly 44’ wide by 28’ deep. Some 1200 sqf plus basement.

Outstanding, giving back and making a difference in the lives of those young adults, putting them on the right path to success.

Dario seemed like a great guy , the world needs more hard working thoughtful people like him. 1 of the things that makes our country so great , entrepreneurs with the heart n ability to give back 2 others.

It is inspiring and genuinely impressive. Hard to imagine many folks who can both build at this quality and frankly expense, yet also master the subs' work to avoid and reduce undue costs. Spend money on things that matter, not on 60% profit margin line items. I love it.

This builder is an incredible detailed oriented home builder.. this is a hardworking man that is building his castle on his own terms with hid custom design....This is easily one of my favorite episodes..such and inspiring story and an amazing home! ],.. I love that when he gets a bid that he thinks is crazy. ,he just figures out how to get it done by himself or his crew...Love that spirit...

This would a prime house for Tesla solar tiles.

"It got a little pricey..." Uh, yeah. Just a little bit.

Dario just blew me away with his creativity in his building solutions & then he follows that up with a great project that addresses a real social need! I’m so impressed & I’d love to meet him.

With your videos you just meet up with very great people Matt. God bless Mario and you. Have a great one

Awesome house, awesome human being! My hat's off to this guy for his socially responsible stance. If more people thought this way, we, as a society probably wouldn't find ourselves in the shitstorm we're in. That's saying a lot considering I am a die-hard conservative!

Hello, @20:00 min mark he talks about staples holding the thermal layer, but I do not quite get how he stapled it down, was it just on the sides of the 2x4"s? That would make sense if they are pressure treated. So maybe clarify for me if I am off base, and thank you.

Yes pressure treated wood and stapled low to the side of the wood.

Dario's work with young adults exiting the foster program reminded me of the quote, "No man stands so tall as when he stoops to help a child."

This is beyond awesome!!! While his budget is clearly beyond most of ours, most of us can apply his kind of grit and tenacity and clever ways to figure out how to do more with the resources we have!! Total inspiration!!

@@dariod2666 Would be wise to get some massive dehumidifiers in once the windows and doors are installed and test the moisture of the framing. One thing I noticed as a expat builder here in Texas is that builders/inspectors do not do a preline (pre sheetrock) moisture test to ensure the framing isn't too damp.

Matt, What a great house and so many well designed, thoroughly thought out features that will provide so many long term benefits ! Totally impressed ! One question for Dario.......did he have any qualms about putting the aluminum foil product directly on the pressure treated 2x4's in respect to the chemicals in the p.t. wood that negatively affect the aluminum ? I've seen that in remodeling where it causes very bad corrosion of the aluminum. Maybe the attic foil has a little different make-up and is not as affected, not sure. Thx

@@gejes9658 Look up Attic Foil. They have several types. Some breathe. Some don't. But they all do a great job of reflecting radiant heat. Their website lays it out very well. 95-97% reflectivity.

I really appreciate the knowledge you share. In the intro looking at the mass of this building it feels more like a cathedral than a home. Many of your other walk throughs with pragmatic decision making and a human and relatable scale underscore that better building techniques make sense for any budget. When the house is ridiculous it is less relatable and it is easier to dismiss or at least be skeptical of the higher end details.

Very excited with this episode I can't even handle a nail but I'm hooked on this show I'm hooked on passive building and the creativity of this episode great job guys.

Dang Matt he’s just about one upped you on your house build. He’s learned well from you.

I have made this alteration to my own dream home plans as well. Aside from the beauty of slate my main reasoning was longevity and fire-proofing being that I wanted a wooded "out in the sticks build". The SolarTile meets these requirements and is only slightly less pretty and adds some functionality.

I heard somewhere that it’s not a good idea to get roof materials with technology integrated into them. Best to stay true to the material and have technology be an attachment of sorts.

Dario, Great Vision, Beautiful Effort, Gonna Be Terrific!

Attic-Foil.... Great stuff. I put it under my metal roof in GA. With air gap of course. It works great!

Great details, I’m curious if and how the aluminum layer affects Cellular reception, WiFi signals, and other EMFs.

Radiant barriers on the roof will have essentially no impact on any common RF signal since none of them are coming from "above" (like a satellite). Anecdotally, home WiFi signals might actually have better range due to the reflections indoor... but I haven't seen any evidence that that is definitely true. Cellular signals and the like are coming at a much lower angle and so aren't affected by the roof. That does mean that if you wrap your entire house with a radiant barrier, though, then the signals MIGHT be affected. Most houses have enough windows to make up for the blocked signals, so you likely wouldn't run into problems unless the signal source was on a side of the house that had none.

Tyrone Ismyname In this case I don’t doubt the ability to have strong WiFi signal. I was talking about the affect it has on the quality of signals and frequencies. Generally speaking, A metal shell around a transmitter/receiver acts as an amplifier to the already existing interference. Wood and concrete act as blocking agents to RF signals. I would have to do some in depth testing in different environments to see what’s actually happening. This home in the video is very close to other homes, so it would be interesting to measure if the neighbors signals (interference) would be amplified by the metal layer and would they have any affect on the quality of signals being transmitted in and around the home.

Granworks Workshop I’m gona have to go ahead and disagree with you there. Good Measurements are necessary before drawing conclusions, but I was talking more about the amplification of interference that effects the quality of signal not the ability to have one. I believe all Cellular RF signals come from above and travel downward more successfully, not from the satellite but Cell towers are on a hill for a reason. Even In a home, WiFi signals travel better if the transmitter is located above the receiving device, transmitter installed on a ceiling for example instead of a closet or table.
