So, this is a vapor barrier box. 67 00:02:27,766 --> 00:02:30,766 And it has a flange on the outside here 68 00:02:30,833 --> 00:02:33,066 with a gasket on the face. 69 00:02:33,133 --> 00:02:34,333 Kevin: Oh, so when you put the board up 70 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,166 to that, you get compression around that gasket? 71 00:02:36,233 --> 00:02:37,600 Matt: Correct.

Kevin: So if we do get any air 77 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,766 in the cavities, we're not going to get it 78 00:02:49,833 --> 00:02:51,433 coming through the switches, which is typically 79 00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:53,333 a weak point for air sealing. Matt: Yes. 80 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:54,733 Kevin: Very nice. And what's -- Can you help me out 81 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,733 with this here, a question mark?

Are you going to build it or...? 133 00:04:37,833 --> 00:04:40,066 Asha: No, I won't, but there is a local place 134 00:04:40,133 --> 00:04:41,333 that is going to make it for us. 135 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,733 Kevin: Gotcha. So no way for us to save the original 136 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,566 because that's gone. So it's replicate. 137 00:04:45,633 --> 00:04:48,000 But in case of the door, guys, it is saved, the original. 138 00:04:48,066 --> 00:04:50,033 Right?

So that goes 155 00:05:12,900 --> 00:05:15,133 in the opening this way. And if we turn it this way, 156 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:16,866 it's a good way to see the anatomy of it. 157 00:05:16,933 --> 00:05:19,566 Our hardwood floor that we're putting on the first floor 158 00:05:19,633 --> 00:05:23,366 is going to be let into this little rabbit here. 159 00:05:23,433 --> 00:05:25,300 Tom: Right.

So what we're going to do here 199 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,833 is put this tape on the bottom, 200 00:07:19,900 --> 00:07:22,966 and it's going to keep moisture from wicking up into the bottom 201 00:07:23,033 --> 00:07:25,433 of this threshold over the years. 202 00:07:25,500 --> 00:07:28,966 Tom: That's a good idea. Alright. Ready? Stand it up. 203 00:07:29,033 --> 00:07:30,766 Zack: Alright. Here it comes. 204 00:07:30,833 --> 00:07:34,800 Tom: Slide it in the opening. See how it fits. 205 00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:40,433 Okay, so it looks pretty good. Now we got to fine-tune it, 206 00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:43,033 make sure the door will fit and hang it. 207 00:07:43,100 --> 00:07:44,666 Zack: Alright, let's do it. 208 00:07:46,733 --> 00:07:49,700 How's it look? Tom: Look like a door. 209 00:07:49,766 --> 00:07:56,266 ♪♪ 210 00:07:56,333 --> 00:07:58,133 Kevin: Zack, you got Matt sealing up 211 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,800 all of your outlet boxes and covers. 212 00:08:00,866 --> 00:08:03,866 I noticed that the entire house is wrapped in blue. 213 00:08:03,933 --> 00:08:04,966 Zack: It is. Kevin: Definitely trying to seal 214 00:08:05,033 --> 00:08:06,466 this place up, huh? Zack: Yeah. 215 00:08:06,533 --> 00:08:08,233 So, like, look at this wall. Right? 216 00:08:08,300 --> 00:08:11,066 We have this sheathing, and it used to be tight, 217 00:08:11,133 --> 00:08:13,233 but it's since shrunk, and we have gaps. 218 00:08:13,300 --> 00:08:16,200 And then there's these holes where they blew in insulation 219 00:08:16,266 --> 00:08:17,966 and then thousands of nails. 220 00:08:18,033 --> 00:08:19,733 So this house is basically a sieve. 221 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,000 Right? And although we're putting siding on the outside 222 00:08:23,066 --> 00:08:25,133 to keep water out, 223 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,600 there's a lot of holes in the siding 224 00:08:26,666 --> 00:08:28,566 and there's a lot of nails going through the siding. 225 00:08:28,633 --> 00:08:31,200 So what we want is this water-resistive barrier 226 00:08:31,266 --> 00:08:33,233 that's continuous on the exterior of the house, 227 00:08:33,300 --> 00:08:35,433 and you can actually feel it sticky, 228 00:08:35,500 --> 00:08:38,600 and it's adhered and rolled on to the outside of this 229 00:08:38,666 --> 00:08:41,033 to make this a watertight home. 230 00:08:41,100 --> 00:08:42,533 Kevin: Yeah, I mean, I threw around WRB, but I mean, 231 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,033 that's what it is, right? That's the water-resistive 232 00:08:44,100 --> 00:08:45,533 barrier that you're talking about. 233 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,733 Because even after you put the siding on, 234 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,100 you're still making penetrations, right? 235 00:08:49,166 --> 00:08:50,533 You still have to protect against the wind 236 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:51,866 and the water. Zack: Exactly. 237 00:08:51,933 --> 00:08:55,166 And this has the benefit of being water-resistive 238 00:08:55,233 --> 00:08:57,500 even when a nail is puncturing through it. 239 00:08:57,566 --> 00:08:59,766 And it's also going to have a gasketing effect. 240 00:08:59,833 --> 00:09:02,066 So it's going to have the value add of keeping it airtight, 241 00:09:02,133 --> 00:09:03,800 meaning this house will be more comfortable 242 00:09:03,866 --> 00:09:06,200 because cold air won't be coming through all those nail holes. 243 00:09:06,266 --> 00:09:08,133 Kevin: So you're pretty convinced that this is a big step up 244 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:09,400 from what we've used in the past? 245 00:09:09,466 --> 00:09:10,733 Zack: It definitely is. 246 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,633 And I've actually got a demonstration to show you that. 247 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,600 Kevin: Oh, look at you, Mr. Wizard. Very fancy. 248 00:09:16,666 --> 00:09:18,766 Zack: Pretty cool, huh? We have a little experiment here. 249 00:09:18,833 --> 00:09:21,400 So basically we've got four different barriers 250 00:09:21,466 --> 00:09:23,566 that you might use on the outside of a house. 251 00:09:23,633 --> 00:09:26,366 Right? And basically we've got a column of water 252 00:09:26,433 --> 00:09:27,833 pushing down on that barrier. 253 00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:32,166 And that represents rain that is wind-driven or rain 254 00:09:32,233 --> 00:09:35,133 that's trapped behind the siding and wants to get through. 255 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,166 So the first type is felt paper, 256 00:09:38,233 --> 00:09:40,800 and that's basically just asphalt-impregnated 257 00:09:40,866 --> 00:09:41,833 builders paper. 258 00:09:41,900 --> 00:09:43,066 Kevin: That was on the house originally. 259 00:09:43,133 --> 00:09:44,700 Zack: That was, exactly. Kevin: That goes way back. 260 00:09:44,766 --> 00:09:46,333 Zack: That's version one. And then, you know, 261 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,966 in the early '80s, late '70s, they came up with house wrap, 262 00:09:50,033 --> 00:09:53,300 which is just a woven plastic, which is easier to install, 263 00:09:53,366 --> 00:09:56,166 more durable than the felt paper. 264 00:09:56,233 --> 00:09:58,033 And then we have an impregnated panel. 265 00:09:58,100 --> 00:10:00,733 This we used on the addition at this project. 266 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,633 And basically the barrier is painted 267 00:10:03,700 --> 00:10:06,333 or applied onto the sheathing we're already using. 268 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,366 So it saves us a trip around the house. 269 00:10:08,433 --> 00:10:10,700 And then finally we have what we used on the old work, 270 00:10:10,766 --> 00:10:12,900 which is that self-applied membrane. 271 00:10:12,966 --> 00:10:16,166 And that's stuck on to the outside. 272 00:10:16,233 --> 00:10:18,366 Kevin: The point being that all of these membranes 273 00:10:18,433 --> 00:10:20,466 are going to be penetrated by design. 274 00:10:20,533 --> 00:10:22,800 And the question is, is when they're penetrated, 275 00:10:22,866 --> 00:10:25,266 how are they going to handle the water and air management? 276 00:10:25,333 --> 00:10:26,700 Zack: Exactly. We're going to put probably 277 00:10:26,766 --> 00:10:28,800 thousands of nails and screws through this house 278 00:10:28,866 --> 00:10:31,900 as we apply the exterior trim. And how is it going to handle 279 00:10:31,966 --> 00:10:33,366 that when we put some water in it? 280 00:10:33,433 --> 00:10:35,966 Kevin: I'm excited. Zack: Alright. Let's find out. 281 00:10:36,033 --> 00:10:40,000 I'm going to start with the felt paper. 282 00:10:40,066 --> 00:10:42,233 Yeah. You can see it's seeping out 283 00:10:42,300 --> 00:10:45,900 from under the paper through the nail hole, leaking out. 284 00:10:45,966 --> 00:10:47,066 Kevin: That took about two seconds. 285 00:10:47,133 --> 00:10:48,366 We're gonna have a mess on our hands soon. 286 00:10:48,433 --> 00:10:50,566 Let's keep going. Let's do house wrap. 287 00:10:50,633 --> 00:10:52,200 Zack: Alright. 288 00:11:00,566 --> 00:11:02,333 Kevin: Oh, yep, there it is too. 289 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,300 Not quite as fast, but five seconds instead of two. 290 00:11:06,366 --> 00:11:07,600 Zack: Still coming out. 291 00:11:07,666 --> 00:11:08,966 Kevin: It's still coming out. Zack: Alright. 292 00:11:09,033 --> 00:11:10,166 Let's fill up this one. 293 00:11:10,233 --> 00:11:12,500 This is our impregnated panel. 294 00:11:16,266 --> 00:11:18,033 Kevin: Nothing yet. 295 00:11:18,100 --> 00:11:23,000 So far, we're longer than the previous two. 296 00:11:23,066 --> 00:11:24,633 Zack: Let's put water in the final one, 297 00:11:24,700 --> 00:11:26,666 the self-adhered membrane. 298 00:11:32,766 --> 00:11:34,466 Kevin: Good so far. 299 00:11:34,533 --> 00:11:37,233 Zack: So far, so good. And we want to... 300 00:11:37,300 --> 00:11:40,866 You look under the membrane under here is where we want 301 00:11:40,933 --> 00:11:42,866 to -- where we'll expect to see water. 302 00:11:42,933 --> 00:11:45,533 And I don't see anything coming out there right now. 303 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,866 Kevin: So we end up with basically failure on the first two. 304 00:11:49,933 --> 00:11:51,800 But we have a victory here. 305 00:11:51,866 --> 00:11:53,600 This is what you're using on the addition. 306 00:11:53,666 --> 00:11:57,500 So this is a good choice. And we have victory here. 307 00:11:57,566 --> 00:11:59,266 And this is what you're using on the existing house. 308 00:11:59,333 --> 00:12:00,833 So that's also a good choice. 309 00:12:00,900 --> 00:12:02,933 Zack: Yeah, it's much easier to install these 310 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,466 correctly than it is to install these correctly. 311 00:12:06,533 --> 00:12:08,466 There's a lot less detailing and they're more durable 312 00:12:08,533 --> 00:12:10,900 once installed, they're harder to tear, et cetera. 313 00:12:10,966 --> 00:12:13,766 So not only are they going to be better at water now, 314 00:12:13,833 --> 00:12:15,266 but 20 years from now 315 00:12:15,333 --> 00:12:17,333 they're still going to be more effective. 316 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,066 Kevin: And how effective is it against air? 317 00:12:19,133 --> 00:12:21,100 Zack: It's substantially more effective. 318 00:12:21,166 --> 00:12:22,866 These are getting lapped over each other 319 00:12:22,933 --> 00:12:24,166 and detailed with tape. 320 00:12:24,233 --> 00:12:26,700 The boards get detailed with tape and liquid flashing. 321 00:12:26,766 --> 00:12:28,433 So these are very effective 322 00:12:28,500 --> 00:12:29,866 in keeping the house nice and airtight. 323 00:12:29,933 --> 00:12:31,433 Kevin: Yeah. Well, seeing is believing. 324 00:12:31,500 --> 00:12:33,700 So nice experiment. Zack: Thank you. 325 00:12:33,766 --> 00:12:35,533 Kevin: Thank you. That's awesome. 326 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,466 Tom: Alright, we're almost ready to start installing 327 00:12:39,533 --> 00:12:43,333 the roof shingles on the roof. Now, to prep for that, 328 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,133 we had to install this molding up the rake. 329 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,300 It's a ram's head detail right there. 330 00:12:49,366 --> 00:12:50,966 The problem with this molding 331 00:12:51,033 --> 00:12:55,200 is once we install the drip edge on top of it 332 00:12:55,266 --> 00:12:59,066 and you look at the molding, the molding detail disappears. 333 00:12:59,133 --> 00:13:02,066 So we modified it. Rip the strip down. 334 00:13:02,133 --> 00:13:04,133 We'll glue that on the top and put it on there. 335 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,900 And now we'll still be able to see that ram's head from below. 336 00:13:08,966 --> 00:13:11,866 So now we have that piece on the gable that goes up, 337 00:13:11,933 --> 00:13:15,533 and we had to return it on itself here at the lower edge 338 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,833 where it meets the fascia board. Now, across the front, 339 00:13:18,900 --> 00:13:21,933 we ripped this filler down to match the pitch of the roof. 340 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,766 That's there for two reasons. Number one, 341 00:13:24,833 --> 00:13:29,733 so that we keep the drip edge out beyond the edge of the roof, 342 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,533 about an inch and a half to an inch and three quarters. 343 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,833 And also we have it narrow enough 344 00:13:34,900 --> 00:13:39,600 so that it doesn't come down and hit the drip edge like that 345 00:13:39,666 --> 00:13:42,333 and touch the drip edge. We want that to have a gap 346 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,633 so that when the water falls off, it runs down. 347 00:13:45,700 --> 00:13:48,033 And because there's nothing here for the water droplets 348 00:13:48,100 --> 00:13:49,233 to grab to, 349 00:13:49,300 --> 00:13:52,300 it will fall down straight into the gutter. 350 00:13:52,366 --> 00:13:55,400 But the other reason we did it is the sun will actually 351 00:13:55,466 --> 00:13:58,500 break down this self-sealing membrane right here. 352 00:13:58,566 --> 00:14:00,833 So we want to make sure that we cover it. 353 00:14:00,900 --> 00:14:02,566 [ Drill whirring ] 354 00:14:07,866 --> 00:14:10,533 Alright. Alright, Kalen, we got to cut the angle 355 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,700 on the bottom here to match the pitch of the roof. 356 00:14:12,766 --> 00:14:13,800 Kalen: Okay. 357 00:14:13,866 --> 00:14:15,666 Tom: Put that up against the house. 358 00:14:20,633 --> 00:14:22,100 Perfect.
