About

My info sharing mission

This web site is all about sharing my experience from designing and building my own super energy efficient long lasting house.  It will hopefully help you build your own house.  It addresses house building from first principles and the design is heavily based on fundamental Building Science.  It describes lots of building Techniques and Materials used in My House, as well as providing a detailed Step-by-Step guide to building your own house.

I live in the town of Carnation (in Washington State, USA), hence the name of the web site is CarnationConstruction.com and the various building products I have designed include the word Carnation, eg Carnation ICF and Carnation Flooring.
