Episode 7: Zip Sheathing, Influences and Building Science

In this episode, Pace Blair and Adam Diamond explore the building blocks of better performance—starting with Zip sheathing. From air barriers to water resistance, they break down why this system has become a go-to in their projects and how it fits into a larger conversation about building smarter, not just faster.

They also take a moment to tip their hats to the voices that shaped their careers—from classic TV personalities to modern YouTube educators—acknowledging the influence of good storytelling and great craftsmanship.

Finally, they introduce building science as more than a buzzword. It’s a mindset shift: understanding how homes actually perform, and why small choices in materials and methods can lead to major differences in comfort, durability, and efficiency.
