  Episode #71

  Episode 71: Heavy Equipment, Rough Pricing, Cleanliness

  Sep 7, 202619 min

  In this episode Pace and Adam discuss when renting heavy equipment like a skid steer makes sense, using a restaurant remodel to show how it can save time and labor. They explain how early estimates, discovery conversations, and realistic worst-case scenarios help clients prepare for hidden issues such as rot, missing insulation, and damaged framing. They also discuss why clean job sites improve safety, efficiency, subcontractor behavior, inspector impressions, and client trust.

  Episode 70: Software, ADA, New Restaurant

  Aug 31, 202621 min

  Adam and Pace kick off episode 70 with a practical contractor conversation about software, professionalism, and why the right project management system matters for both the builder and the client. They also dig into a more charged topic - ADA compliance and the tension between accessibility intent and lawsuit-driven enforcement - before closing with an update on a live restaurant remodel in Fairfax.

  Episode 69: Tyvek, Code Comparison, Service Window

  Aug 24, 202618 min

  Adam and Pace use a couple of real-world building code headaches to argue a bigger point: too many regulations get added by people far from the job site, while the people dealing with the consequences are left to work around them. They kick things off with a heated critique of Tyvek installation and drainage-plane failures, then move into a restaurant service-window code that feels wildly impractical in day-to-day use.

  Episode 68: Garage Doors, Plans Sets, How Much Detail Do You Need?

  Aug 17, 202622 min

  Pace and Adam start with a practical homeowner topic, garage doors, then move into a bigger preconstruction question: how much detail belongs in the plans before construction starts. The episode is useful for anyone planning a remodel, addition, or ADU, especially if you are trying to balance budget, design quality, and flexibility.

  Aug 10, 202622 min

  Adam and Pace cover two practical construction topics that matter to both builders and clients: liquid applied weather-resistant barriers and why free estimates can be a bad fit for complex projects. They also dig into a real crawl space job where discovery changed the scope once excavation revealed older modifications to the foundation.
