My house has a tendency to be the first guinea pig for many of the products I use in the field. My wife loves the way this makes our house always look like a construction zone. She loves the continual movement of furniture from one room to another, she loves the mess.... She may yet kill me.

With all the Construction going on in Idaho I wonder when we will start to think about water conservation. Why would we install Kentucky bluegrass on thousands of subdivision yards and common areas? Why do we over water? Why do we water when it rains? Water conservation is becoming the topic of discussion around the country, and will be the next limited resource for Idaho, so lets think about what we are doing.

House wraps or WRB (weather resistant barriers) provide the drainage plane behind the siding that the openings should be flashed into. Yes they do limit air infiltration, but the more important reason your home should have a house wrap is to give the home a complete drainage plane behind the cladding material. So how do you know which house wrap to use?

With all the construction going on in the Treasure valley those of you who work with us in new construction or existing home retrofits know that we are big proponents of Weather Resistant Barriers (WRB) and proper window flashing techniques. So what is the big fuss, you might ask I see flashing on the homes that are being built, and besides it does not rain much in Idaho." Unfortunately water intrusion is the number three reason for insurance claims in the Nation, and a major contributor to building failure, especially in Dry climates.
