In this short video, we wanted to share with everyone our company being featured in SacTown Magazine. The article goes into the Passive Standard and the Passive ADU we'll be building in Andrew's back yard. Although we are a High Performance Builder, 5 of us with GoodSpace High Performance Builders are Passive House Certified. Four of us are Passive House Tradesperson Certified, and one of us is Passive House Design Certified. If you're in the Sacramento area, you can find this issue May/June at your local grocery stories or your favorite bookstore that sells magazines.

In this short video, I talk about the vapor barrier we installed for a client in their new crawlspace. It's called Stego Wrap and is by far the best in the business. If you have a couple people you can install this but three people will be ideal if you can swing it, especially is you have a very long crawl space. Feel free to check out all the products we used in the links down below. Our main high performance building supplier is always 475 building supplies. They have wonderful customer service which we all know is lacking in our so called modern day society, and always offer good suggestions for places to find products they do not provide. As always, enjoy the video and keep checking us out since we're putting out content on a regular basis.
Until next time Cheers!!
Here is the 475 Supply company we use for so many High Performance Building Products:

If you are going to install any vapor barrier in your crawlspace, I highly recommend the Compega tape over any others for sealing up the seams. It's been tested to be more durable, out perform, and overall be such a better tape for sealing seams than any other tape on the market, even the Stego seam tape. Check this stuff out!!

This is the tape we used to stick the stego wrap to the foundation walls:

In this video Ian Nimmo with 475 High Performance Building Supplies discusses quite a few Proclima materials we are using on the Sacramento Passive House and how these products help us get to the Passive House Standard for building. We are all grateful that Ian took time to come by our project to explain more in depth the products we are using to build the first Sacramento Passive House. These are a wide range of materials you can use to improve any construction project you're working on to take the next step towards High Performance Building even if you aren't trying to reach the Sacramento Passive House Standard.
Thank you Ian and 475 High Performance Building Supplies for traveling to Sacramento to shoot this video with us.

In this video, I'll show you how to install a Square D Homeline Whole Home Surge Protector into my personal electrical panel. On top of that, I'll discuss why it's a good idea to look at adding a surge protector to your own home.
There is a lot to understand and learn before installing a surge protector for your home so I hope you learn a lot and enjoy the video.

A few years back, we decided to record the whole process of building an ADU from the ground up in East Sacramento. This time lapse is over 8 minutes long but we really enjoyed building this ADU. It has an office on the second story, there is bathroom below the staircase, and we actually put in an outdoor shower next to the staircase. Hope you enjoy watching the progress.
A massive thank you to Misha of Design By Misha for the amazing design for this project and Red Leaf Developments for the awesome pool and custom landscape design. As always, their links links will be down below.

You are in for a treat with this video. We went out to meet with Nick at PBK (Premier Kitchen & Bath) in Rancho Cordova, CA to learn more about induction cooktops and why switching over to one might be a benefit for you and your household.
We have seen plenty of other videos regarding the pros and cons of induction cooktops, but we wanted to expand on the information, especially from a contractors perspective. Hopefully we are able to answer some more questions regarding induction cooktops that you might not have known about in this video.
We want to give a massive thank you to Nick for taking the time to do this video with us, and also say thank you to Jordan and the rest of the staff at PBK. They have an amazing team who are very knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to finding the right products for you whether it’s for your kitchen or your bathroom.
