I think outshine, a traditional stick frame, is that, you know, we have very little thermal bridging in our walls.

Because of our bays being eight foot on center, we just have these large expanses for insulation.

We don't have to worry about, you know, gaps.

Welcome to the Fine Home Building Pro Talk podcast, our regular discussion with building industry professionals.

This is Senior Editor Patrick McComb. I'm joined by Kyle Stumpenhorst, founder of rural renovators, a post-frame

building company in Franklin Grove, Illinois.

You can find the Fine Home Building Pro Talk podcast and the original Fine Homebuilding podcast

at finehomebuilding.com slash podcast.

You can leave feedback and ask questions there too.

Kyle, thank you so much for joining me.

It is a pleasure to talk to you.

Dude, thanks for having me on. I really appreciate it.

So, you and I were introduced via email probably a year or so ago, and as you might imagine,

the world is a lot different since then. Are you healthy? Is everyone okay at your house?

And how's that going?

You know what? It's been pretty good. My wife is an education. She's a principal. So I think

she's had a lot more of a struggle with it all than I have being a contractor and a business

owner that's usually by themselves, you know? Sure. And how is she able to go to work now,

or is she still working from home?

Yeah, I'm told that her school district is the largest school district in the state of Illinois that's actually doing a hybrid model, not complete remote learning.

So they're doing basically every other day.

That's really interesting.
