This 3.5 Hour online session is entitled “The Details 2” and begins with a discussion on different types of soils and the land around the house. There is an overview of their load bearing capacities and the likelihood of hydro static pressure, foundation draining and the definition of damp proofing. Murray then discusses basements and vapor control moving into full height or half height walls, and an overview of excavations for footings and foundations. This leads to a discussion regarding sealants and their application methods and how they relate to air tightness. Following that, there is a detailed discussion of different basement wall types and various methods of insulation, air barriers and vapour barriers.
