Aaron Miiller on Instagram: "We've been using these Smartshields for a few years now. Sometimes we forget to order more and every time that happens, we are filled with regret. They should be standard. Every big box store and supply house should carry them. Instead I have to order them from Amazon or Home Depot. It's frustrating. But we love them. We have even used them to protect PEX plumbing. The hole size is 1", so plenty of room for several wires which is nice. . . . . #southwire #smartshield #electrical #electrician #electriciantools #tools #newconstruction #remodel #remodeling #wireprotectors #wire #romex #renovation"
Elaina Ripepi + Alex Walsh, Homestead & DIY on Instagram: "Someday this $40 upgrade will come in handy! We may need to get solar panel wiring from the roof to utility room or simply run a new light somewhere. If you’re building or renovating, this a good one to save 🙂"
Matt Risinger on Instagram: "Ducts inside the conditioned space with out using Spray Foam at the roofline! @boabuilders did an impressive job here with layout of these @rheiacomfort ducts inside the @buildersfirstsource truss system. Post Sheetrock installation @westerncoloradoairbarrier will do a full seal of AeroBarrier to seal the bottom of the OSB chases to the top of the Sheetrock then they will blow a ton of insulation on top! Stay tuned for a full @thebuildshow on this excellent yet cost effective way to run ducts inside the conditioned envelope. I’m super impressed. #hvac #ducts #buildingscience"

Pictures and Videos of all electrical, plumbing and studs before insulation and drywall - $0 2. Interior Installation - Our entire house insulation cost was $11,000 for all walls, ceiling and floors. Not having insulation for a couple/few walls would have made the cost go down only by a $1K-2K. 3
