🔨 Episode 4 of my porch addition mini-series! Today we’re getting nerdy and looking at the wall, roof, and floor build-up—and why I flipped the wall “inside out.” I’ll break down how vapour control works, why your wall needs to be vapour open. 👉 In this video: 00:00 Intro 01:17 Wall framing + build-up + Why vapour open on the outside 04:58 #BuildingScience Intermission 7:13 References to the Ontario Building Code 05:10 Wood fibre board: how I actually used on the wall and the roof (the "Monopoly House Framing" from Matt Risinger) 10:06 Air barrier details 11:06 What about insects behind the facade? 12:38 Floor assembly 📐 This porch addition uses some unconventional materials—like wood fibre insulation, plywood as the air barrier, and a rainscreen facade. Here’s how it all fits together for comfort, durability, and lower carbon. 📺 Watch the full mini-series here:    • Why This Porch Addition Could Change How Y...   🙋‍♂️ Got questions about the wall build-up, wood fibre board, or why airtightness matters?
