Your videos are PRICELESS! Makes you wonder why builders are allowed by law to cut every single IMPORTANT corner in their shoddy quick build homes. I Live in texas and am shocked at how much was "missed" or omitted, but I bioght the home from the original owner and I'm always terrified of moisture and water intrusion via different ways, due to mold.
A lot of the suggestions are deep retrofits that are pricey and rarely used. Adding continuous exterior insulation and then new roofing and then sleepers before installing a new roof is $$$. Most of these plans are great for new construction with a well financed owner. The toughest project is a medium priced retrofit - you want to follow best practices but you don't have an unlimited budget. For my northern NH house with a standing seam roof, I'm planning on a 2" air space on the interior attic ceiling, then foam boards and then mineral wool. Then I'll do 2" of polyiso and mineral wool on the 6" walls as part of my plan to convert the large attic space into a conditioned space. A mini split and some rising heat from the existing top floor will provide heating and cooling. I have inexpensive remote TP Link Tapo temp and humidity sensors that are in place already to give me a sense of the unconditioned conditions now. I'll keep them in place including in the vent spaces, post construction to monitor for problems.
Well, that's why we try to give you more than one way of addressing these assemblies, but some strategies are certainly more costly than others. We have another video on the channel called "Sometimes, It's Better NOT To Insulate", which is about not insulating if you cannot properly address air sealing and moisture management, as insulating reduces heat flow and the drying potential of these assemblies. It's a very careful balance.
@@ASIRIDesignsYes, you focus on a problem and give us lots of options in a short video. The drawings are very clear, and we know we can go to your website to get even more in depth information. I recommend your channel often and will be buying some of your publications once I get closer to my project.✌️

Excellent overview.

Thank you very much! We wonder the same thing, especially from a reputation standpoint as well. Unfortunately it's business as usual.
