What are the three biggest building mistakes in Texas homes? In this episode of The Build Show, Richie Brown joins builder Greg Grizzle of Castor Homes and HVAC expert Ken Davis to explore better ways to build with stucco, conditioned attics, and high-performance HVAC systems. From rainscreen details behind stucco and advanced air sealing that helped achieve a 0.84 ACH blower door result to whole-home dehumidification, ERVs, fresh-air ventilation, makeup air systems, and conditioned attic design, this project showcases practical building science strategies that improve durability, comfort, indoor air quality, and long-term performance in hot-humid climates.
