Air BarrierA sheet material used both as vapor retarder and an air barrier. It hinders infiltration of water and air into the building.

Soffit Vent

Attic VentilationAttics are ventilated not only to allow water vapor to escape but also to keep the house cooler in the summer, by preventing the build up of solar heat conducted through the roofing and the roof sheathing. Ridge vent:

BackhoeAids in the excavation of soils from point A to Point B on and around a job site. The buckets width is twenty-four inches.

Batter BoardsAre constructed at least four feet outside of states of the corners of the foundation to allow room for excavation. Strings are stretch across the batter boards and with the use of a plumb bob, jogs on the foundation are staked in or painted on the ground until after excavation.
