Nordic Builds the Perfect Wall

What if I told you we could build you the perfect wall?  Here is an update of our build showing one of the details that make these walls better than most, especially where air sealing is concerned.

For details on where we got these ideas and how they work, I have linked a Youtube playlist from Matt Risinger, a builder passionate about "Building Science & Fine Craftsmanship."


Stocking Up on Foam-Board Insulation

Using the best insulation is crucial in having our designs be high-performance.  So when Home Depot puts this stuff on 75% off clearance, we don't ask questions.  Unless those questions are, "Can you fork that directly onto my 'truck'?" and "How many are in stock at the other stores?"

Below is a picture from a batch of maybe a third of the insulation we were able to get.  We get weird reactions when we use this truck, but that's okay.

6-Day Construction Timelapse

We've captured and put together a time-lapse of the first 6 days of actual construction on our first tiny house.  Things are going well, and we will be installing our version of the exterior house-wrap soon.  Next comes the windows, exterior insulation, and we should be working on the plumbing and electrical on the inside to prepare for the interior insulation.

Stay warm,
