#653: Kitchen Design Rules, Insulating Outdoor Columns, and Vapor Retarders

The Fine Homebuilding Podcast

Peri, who is having a disagreement with a coworker, asks the Podcast about insulating structural columns for an elevated deck.

The FHB Podcast crew talks about getting kitchen design help from multiple designers. Peri asks if there's any reason to insulate hollow porch columns and address walls. Robert has been house shopping in the Bay Area and every real estate inspection indicates problem vapor barriers.
