More of the "Mad Matt Matt" show please. Maybe a monthly podcast.

I'm hear for this, glad to see this alignment. Matt powers unite.

Two guys I learned from when building our off grid home. Cool that they're collaborating.

Cool. A couple of my favourite dudes!

Matt is great. Matt is great.

Yeeeey! I have been requesting this in comments on both “build show” and “undecided” 🎉🎉

Matt/Matt is a great idea.

The conversation of the different material types makes me think of the old mantra from the show: "no one perfect solution for all situations". ICF homes for hurricane or fire hazards. Here in Texas where Matt builds he mentions how the Icon concrete homes have that thermal mass which paired with the right overhangs and shade trees could provide a nice cool home in the summer and plenty of warmth from the sun. Ready Frame for areas with experienced labor. Typical stick build for cheaper labor areas. Though Cardboard sheathing deserves its place in the garbage

Thanks for a n intesting podcast. While working for an Australian Govt building construction fire research organisation I saw some really interesting construction materials and methods. This included mud brick and hemp. We built a bushfire front simulator which was LPG fired. Whole houses were tested on it. Cheers

Loved this so much, thank you.

I love these collabs. While awesome, and the reduced cost of less labor can make homes more affordable, I also can't help worry about yet another workforce reduction. I live in a crap manufactured home, can't afford to rebuild, so looking to "overfit" insulated Zip type system to at least increase the R value, but structural strength, cost and durability here in Central Texas.

The reference to ReadyFrame Homes reminded me of Miles Homes from the seventies. It was a company that provided a selection of home styles that were precut and marked in packages and delivered to the building sites. They included choices of kitchen packages. They also provided financing and after the house was completed, then helped arrange mortgages. My wife and I built a single story with exposed basement home in 1975-76. Moved in after 11 months. They provided drawings and a book with detailed instructions on how to build the house. We moved out of the house after 41 years only because we downsized from about 3000 sq ft to a smaller home. Would I do it again now that I'm 75? No, but I had considered it about 10 years ago. But I could not find any equivalent company to provide the home. Dennis Engle

Speaking of packed cellulose! Take a look at straw bale houses. Super cheap, durable, passive ventilation, fireproof, quake proof, fast build, recyclable. You just need a good all around porch roof and a 4 inch waterproof foot at the base of the wall.

More Matt and matt

Thank you for sharing some of your experience building a Unity home!

I think that those of us who do not use ancient units want translation to SI units such as W/m2K for what is the R value in for unit ? We have R but in the sum of all elements and 1/R to get the heat flow in Watt /K or C so it is easier to calculate energy consumption in a year in different climates

Perhaps in the next conversation you might talk about the carbon embedded in our building materials. Of course more insulation is a good thing but what is the insulation made from? How much carbon is it in? What are the low carbon alternatives?

I would love to see Icon with sipp type roofing or 2nd floor system.

Hey Matt. Wonderful conversation on alternate home building techniques. I have 3 companies that I have been fascinated with. I would love your input on them. They are: Stillwater Dwellings, Eco Steel, and Proto Homes. Would love to see your take on these. Would make a good episode.

Would be nice to hear on your thoughts on Lego style Triqbriq wood block house (startup?). Maybe as followup on the hemp brick episode.

20:00 Mat "won't take jobs" Mat " we did the job with less guys"

Enjoyable house chat from my perspective. Always interesting to see the new build methods outside my own country. I think the company Matt R mentioned that went under might have had big problems with CLT components delaminating 🤔, anyway, thanks again gents 👍

any thoughts on Boxabl

I wonder whether MF's prefab house builder would prefab a tiny house on wheels?

Great show till the silly comment at the end about the appliances lasting longer than a few years, at most, past the warranty period.

Keeping these names straight is mattening.

Enough Matt n Matt shows! It’s hard to listen to Resinger without wondering what he’s selling, what he’s getting a kickback on and if I wanted to hear him he has his own podcast.

Y'all are nerds
