South Hollow PT 12 No Concrete Slab! And Tim Uhler

In this episode Tim stops by and we discuss the details of the "Concrete Less Slab" on this project. The site prep before the build , the water management details that went into that preparation. The amount of crushed rock beneath the footing. How we created a flat surface for the foam to sit on. The layers of foam from Soprema and there orientation. The role Stego (soil gas poly plays) . The final ingredient is the cross laminated Advantech from Huber Engineered Woods.
