Matt, been following you for a while, and enjoying your channel. As an old guy, now 73, with 47 years in cabinetmaking, architectural woodworking and carpentry experience, I am always interested the new ways of doing things. This change up, basically involves placing tech trust in modern adhesives to hold up for 40-50 years, instead of interlocking joinery to do the job for you. Working with other cabinetmakers, I've built some pretty tight structures over the years. And with some well schooled GC's as well. Making the old ways work well, was mostly about patience in the construction, as well as adequate funding to see the job through. Of course things are going to change and hopefully they will change for the better. Time will tell. (Typical commercial home building has little to do with patience or competency.) Thanks Clifton

You can really feel the difference when the outside temp starts off around -8*F and can fluctuate within days (or that day) to ~80*F! That insulation style--you barely noticed the outside temp. Literally had to go outside to check it.

Man its finally time to do windows and siding on my very drafty home here in SW Minnesota. I found one contractor that would make the drive (~2 hours). I explained that we were looking to redo the roof as well and an external insulation something like the zip system. I used the "putting on a coat vs putting insulation in your ribs" analogy.

nice been waiting for this episode!

You may have mentioned this, but it traditional overhangs create an unwanted brake in the structures diaphragm. Eliminating the overhangs and having a continuous 2x at the face of the rafters, that the wall sheathing, and roof sheathing can simultaneously connect to, means you have a high performing structural diaphragm, and a direct load path from the ridge to the foundation. The plywood at the attic floor level also absorbs any gable wind loads and if the ceiling framing is blocked properly at the eaves, and gables will transmit any gable loads out to those same side walls. Thanks for the Video Matt! Looking forward to Part 2, 3 , and or 4

Matt, this was a great video, especially for those visual learners. Can't wait for the "Next time, OOOOOONNN the Build Show". BTW...put some really cool white oak floors in that house...it deserves it!

I get that the wall to roof insulation is to seal the house and get high thermal efficiency but it means air refreshment has to be better than an old house. I recently stayed in a new build and I had to leave the sash window permanently open to get enough oxygen at night because it was too well sealed. Those air heat exchangers are the way to go but few architects and contractors seem to know about them and it does complicate the house design because of the importance of air movement starting from the bedrooms and finally exiting through the bathrooms. Anyway that’s my two cents.

Conditioned attic - yes, please!

Matt, Many moons ago, I found myself needing to repair a failed roof rafter during a Texas summer heat wave. I was sweating so profusely, I could barely hold onto tools. That experience inspired me to play around with a passive cooling idea: seal off the underside edge of roof rafters, and create a continuous air "channel" between a ridge vent, and a soffit vent. The basic idea was that the underside of the roof would heat the passive air in that "channel" and as it expanded it would naturally want to migrate towards the ridge, in the same way that hot air rises and cold air falls. Many years later, I have seen inexpensive solutions that incorporate this same basic idea. One of those solutions is a cheap cardboard-like material that installs between roof rafters easily with a staple gun. The side facing up has a reflective foil that reflects the heat back at the underside of the roof. You probably already know about these solutions for preventing the attic air mass from radiating heat downwards into living spaces. And, I'll never forget that Texas summer heat wave: it never got below 100 F. for a full month.

For example, one of my early solutions fit 1/8" plywood ripped into strips nailed between the rafters, with 1-by stock "runners" also nailed to the rafters: that solution required a lot more carpentry than what you see in the latter video. His baffles are designed to permit a staple gun to shoot staples right down the middle of each baffle. Anyway, this video is the single best illustration of what I tried to discussion above, with words only.

He shows 2 layers of rigid insulation. I would install the top layer with a reflective foil facing the underside of the roof sheathing. And, the ridge vent should also be designed to prevent "down-drafting" on windy days.

@believerscc

probably both and most likely both are talking to each other. Most city inspectors are only versed in typical construction practices, so the engineer or architect may need to step in on occasion when it's an engineered/performance based for energy vs prescription based or something way out in left field and obscure in the IRC. I live in a Nueces County in South Texas. I have to have a windstorm engineer sign off on my foundation (pre and post pour) windstorm straps on the framing, sheathing, windows, doors, siding and roof. My city inspector does offsite/set back for my foundation, rough in and final MEP's, then I have to have 2 energy audits. Fire comes in during framing before insulation for smoke/CO detectors. Then a final final from the city for Cert of Occupancy.

Looking forward to seeing the roof finished. This looks a lot like the REMOTE framing system I've seen before. Air and vapor tight until you get to the foundation/slab. Insulated raft foundation tied in to a ZIP/REMOTE framed house seems like the tightest build method yet.

You do a great job Matt!!!

I like the concept of how this is going together. I am not sure if I understood fully what you are doing with the roof but I would be thinking this is the perfect platform to build a cold roof on top of this structure so that the roof itself is well ventilated but isolated from the attic space for the utility space.

Basically after the insulation is up, Matt is going to create overhangs out of lumber. Imagine a a pair rim board stretching the length of the home, with short rafters (2 feet) joining them together that has the same slope as the roof. When its done, the roof will appear to extend an additional 2 feet as overhangs. Not really a good idea as the overhangs will not be as structurally strong as continuious rafters. That said, it would have been better to go with a SIP roof and knee walls.

@@guytech7310 It's going to be lag bolted on at the top and bottom, if anything this avoids the necessity of using hurricane ties between the top plate and the rafters or trusses. It'll wind up being plenty strong enough for any uplift forces the eaves might get and even if there was snow loading to deal with, still plenty strong.

Good stuff looks like you're building for our Canadian winters/rains

The USDA (maybe), developed a truss system of building where the walls and roof framing was built flat and tilted up in bays. The roof covering was metal that just hung over the walls like 18". I feel like these super insulated houses that rely on active ventilation, all kinds of taped seals, and silicone calk might not age so well. Our 1790’s brick house here in Ky has the old single pane windows but because of the thick walls, radiant gas heat, and lifestyle choices we’re well below the National average for houses this size as far as energy consumption goes. I built a timber frame shop using kinda the perfect wall system you have. The frame was sheathed in 1" rough cut poplar, tar papered, and insulated with foam board on the outside. Poplar lap siding was put over furring strips, leaving a 1/2" air gap that goes all the way up to the eaves. Air can come in thru insect screen at the bottom and flow up and out the eaves as it is heated and rises. This was done to help shed heat before it can build up in the wall. Between the wood and foam insulation, the shop is easy to heat and requires almost no air conditioning. Adding a small solar hot water radiator would be enough to heat it along with body heat loss as the day gets going. It worked so well I’m going to use the same system in my retirement home. I know tar paper seems outdated, but it’s worked for well over 100 years. In fact I often find that when I come across it during renovations that it’s still perfectly serviceable after 70 years. I like the passive house concept, but you need fresh air for a healthy life. I think letting a house breathe a little is important. Forced air heating and air conditioning is a big part of the problem with energy loss. Sucking in and blowing out air thru every crack. And houses are too big. Nice job on your place though.

Mind blowing!

It would really be cool if you could show some diagrams or drawings of how this works.

Interesting on how you did this. I went the opposite way in 81-82 as I put high-R sheathing on the inside and taped all the joints inside. Then put in blow-in insulation to fill the space between the outside wall and in the inside high-R sheathing. Air tightness was extreme as we could not run our Jenn-Air down draft vent system when we had the fire-place running. It literally sucked the smoke back in the house. Of course my system worked as initially we had electric heat and changed it to oil hot air in the 90's when we added a solar sunroom on the south side. I had 28 tons of river rock underneath with pvc ductwork. In January with temps near 0 we generally only ran the furnace for 1/2 hour a day and all the other heat was supplied by the sunroom. The total sq footage was about 2700 sq ft.

I am a fan of rafter tails for their natural weather proofing they provide and their aesthetics which I like. The modern house look without tails leaves me cold and always "looks wrong" to me on a home. I have done similar sealing but added fake rafter tails. With a thick ledger board ripped to the width of the plumb cut of the fake rafter. You can add decorative, fake rafter tails. Easiest to screw them in from the back of the ledger. They can be laid out symmetrically or any other pattern, on different centers than 16" or 24" and made with thicker then 2x rafter stock. Also consider the exposed underside of the roof above the fake tails. It should not be plywood for visual appearance. At least paint. The ledger can be bolted into the wall framing and a few metal straps to tie in the top or a continuous plywood gusset tied into the roof. Then cap it with ice and water membrane.
