THE GOOD news: our homebuilding industry is jam-packed with new materials, new techniques, and new systems, and it’s so easy to get information online in an instant. THE BAD news: How do we know what we can trust, what will work, and under what conditions? Where do we turn to separate the spin-and-hype from the true-and-square? We’ve got you covered!

I think they should change the name of this podcast to the learn it podcast because every episode I listen to I learn something. I have over 30yrs in the residential construction business and still learn something new by listening to these 3 gentlemen. One of my favorite podcasts on the World Wide Web. Keep it up guys.
I recently started listening and am about halfway caught up from the beginning. Really enjoying the progression of the content and the dynamic between Jake, Pete, and Steve. Looking forward to getting current.
Great podcast, has helped me with some remodeling projects, and has helped me be more knowledgeable when hiring contractors, and it’s pretty funny. I also really appreciate their great love for ICF.
Steve and Peter are great, on the downside Jake is painful to listen to. I wish they would drop him from the podcast. His constant immaturity and insecurities really hold back the show.
Pretty negative on other creators when Jake doesn’t agree that there could be another way. It’s a post frame because it’s not built with poles. Way to be open minded. Those buildings are easily assembled by 2 guys and 1 machine. They can be engineered to meet desired local loads. Maybe educate yourself on how people are building homes with post frame buildings.
