The Phinney Ridge project is a single-family, prefab house. Since our last update we have seen a few changes regarding the site and house.

One of the benefits of prefabrication is the ability to work in a dry enclosed facility during wet seasons and maintaining the exposed materials during the construction phase. The building’s current state is...

The excavator is in the process of demolition of the existing home at the site of the new Phinney Ridge Prefab home project being careful for the neighboring homes and fences. Homes are no match for an excavator, also known as a track hoe.  The long reach of the boom and bucket is able to grab the roof of a home and crumple it to the ground with little effort. Stripped bare, even the existing concrete will be removed to make way...

With the implementation of the 2012 Washington State Energy Code the requirements for air testing residential projects have changed to become more restrictive.  All new residences and additions in the state now require a blower door test to measure air leakage through the building envelope.  The test requires that air changes be less than 5 per hour, hopefully pushing towards tighter building envelopes and less energy consumption. Blower door testing may seem mundane and ordinary, but when the Godfather of Soul...
