Description

We're going to cover most exterior coverings of a home you might want to consider, important methods and their proper installation. Materials such as brick, hard coat stucco, exterior insulation and finish system (EIFS), wood siding, vinyl siding and fiber cement siding. Of these materials have advantages and disadvantages.

Informative and he pulls in other expert videos that supplement his teachings and help me grasp the material better. My only wish was that the pace was a bit faster. Also, since many of the terms are new, it would help if he explained... A setback means.... flashing is just.... retrofit is a fancy way of saying... it will take out the fancy nomenclature and help the new audience understand it faster and then pick up the vocab during his course.
