The Modest House Build Ep 2: Foundation Insulation and Backfill @RRBuildings
Uploaded January 2025 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
In this episode of the modest house build, we start with foundation insulation and finish with backfill. We use the AMC Foam graphite EPS Halo insulation on the exterior to reduce thermal transfer and clean 3/4 stone for backfill. This reduces the need for compaction and is easy to work with down the road for the concrete guys.

Big thanks to AMC Foam for supporting us on this build.
