Personal House: Awesome & Oh Dang
Manage episode 521612020 series 2903494
In today's episode of the Build Show Podcast, Matt sits down with builder and colleague Daniel Glauser to dive into the wins and the “oh dangs” from their recent personal home builds. From airtightness strategies and Huber ZIP System successes to HVAC lessons, dehumidification, window packages, design constraints, and why smaller, smarter homes often lead to higher quality—Matt and Daniel get candid about what worked, what they’d change, and what every builder or homeowner should learn before beginning a project.
They also explore the realities of renovating versus starting fresh, how Passive House principles shaped Daniel’s 1977 retrofit, and why intentional square footage can make or break a budget. Whether you're a builder, a homeowner planning a project, or a building science nerd, this episode is packed with firsthand insights that will help you design and build better.
