As a State Certified Real Estate Appraiser, I found this video to be quiet informative. I seldom get to see the home before it's completely finished, so these tips are good to know. Wish all builders were this conscientious! :)

I would say guys like him are far more worthy than those who just throw together cookie-cutter tract houses. This guy seems to have a passion and understands not only does somebody has to live in it, but for possibly a very long time, and if not, the home needs to basically stand the test of time for the next person, not just hopefully last twenty to thirty years. This is the second video of his I watched and I can see the pride. We need more like him. A place to live is a neccessity and it should be livable through out majority of it's lifespan. Making a house a home starts at tbe bones. Plus whomever is going to own this place can watch these videos as further reinforcement that he's sincere and not trying to bullshit customers. I have mad respect for people like that.

It’s honestly a bit worrying that a lot of builders don’t work this way anymore. I’m looking to get a new home built in the next few years but seeing how fast and cheap they throw up new homes these days is disappointing. I will probably spend more time looking for a reputable builder than actually building the house!

But on a plus it had insulation in the walls before the tub to the hallway. Guess that was suppose to help the North wall cold stay out along with the fiberglass insert tub/shower!

The advantage of the zip system is to put a barrier between the wood and the air proofing. You can do this with closed cell spray but its more difficult unless its built into the studs... as with the TStud system or double wall. If you don't use either, the heat or cold will conduct through the wood to the inside of the building. The zip system keeps the heat or cold separated from the wood frame in addition to making the building air tight.

Really useful video, thanks Erik, great tips. May I ask if its ok to seal the floor before you add the room dividers and put some protection down, would that way it alleviates the risk of water soaking into the lumber? Have you ever used sliding doors for the main entry exit doors? Are they allowed?

Depending on the finished look you are going for, you could possibly look at covering the exposed duckwork with wood and make them look like wood beams across the ceiling. Also, in regards to mositure getting into walls from cleaning floors, could you seal the wood inside the wall before closing it up? or is there a reason to not do that?

Great info... Do you have a video on framing and installing a window in the metal walls? I've seen several ways it's done but none seem to be very airtight.
