roof pitches converging and them dying into like six foot wide masonry chimneys without crickets and stuff and just like who the heck designs this stuff and like who lets it built? Where are the grownups I'm at?

Welcome to the Fine Home Building podcast, a regular discussion of building, remodeling, and

design topics aimed at anybody who cares deeply about the craft and science of working on houses.

This is Senior Editor of Patrick McComb.

Today I'm joined by Operations Manager for TDS Customs Construction, Ian Schwant.

How you doing, Patrick?

Fine Homebuilding Editorial Director Andrew Zellner.

I feel like we just did one of these.

You're throwing off my canes, dude.

And our producer, Jeff Rose.

Hi.

Please email your request.

It's FHB Podcasts at taunton.com.

You can find previous podcasts and check out the show notes at findhounloading.com slash podcast.

Well, we did just do one of these earlier in the week.

Yeah, I wanted to make a joke about like, I just had to go change my shirt and come back,

and now we can do a second one, but it has been a few days.

It does remind me that I forget that these are on YouTube as well, and that people can actually

watch this show.

I'm reminded that I need a larger wardrobe because it seems like I'm wearing the same exact

clothes than every one of these. I do wash my clothes, people. You got a different hat on today.

I did. I had to mix it up a little bit. Ian, thank you for noticing.
