Where did you learn about modern building best-practices? I just bought my first single-family home and am excited to slowly transform it into a comfortable-and-efficient modern building. But I'm finding it a little difficult to penetrate this new-to-me space and would love to find some more-complete resources.
My random web-crawling has certainly been moderately productive, but it's slow and I can't help but feel that I'm not being adequately exposed to a reasonable breadth of topics.
- ip26 7y agogreenbuildingadvisor is a tremendous resource that laser-focuses on getting the important little details right. Finehomebuilding is also good.
