This episode of the Fine Home Building podcast is brought to you by Locktides, Tight Foam.

The best builders take weatherization seriously.

When they need to seal a gap that's too small for insulation but big enough to create a draft,

they reach for Loctite's tight foam.

With three formulations for everything from small cracks to the biggest gaps,

there's a tight foam product for every job,

including a low expanding product designed to seal the rough opening around windows and doors.

The high-density foam forms a tenacious bond to most common building materials,

stays flexible to prevent cracking when materials move, and keeps air, moisture, and pests out of the house. Builders

you care about energy efficiency, comfort, and durability, choose tight foam. Visit

Locktightproducts.com for more information.

The contractor that did all the main traits of the work, he said when he started construction

back in the 70s, early 80s, it was customary to hand the new homeowners of box and cigars

to smoke to help get rid of all of the new construction smell inside of the house.

Welcome to the Fine Home Building podcast, our weekly discussion of building, remodeling, and design topics aimed at anybody who cares deeply about the craft and science of working on

houses.

Like all you people, at the Southeast Building Science Symposium,

thanks so much for being here.

This is a great crowd.
