New to the group-looking for suggested reading

[Guest guest]

My husband and I are about to start construction on a new home. We are

building ourselves, so we have the luxury of doing it the right way.

Does anyone have a good source they would recommend for materials,

etc. that we could use as a starting point to get this thing built in

a smart way? We have three young kids, 5m, 2, & 3. A history of

allergies, etc. on my husbands side and we are looking to minimize

problems in this new home.

Try reading www.homemoisture.org

This web site is by a prof from North Dakota State University, and has a

downloadable Power Point presentation on construction factors to prevent

later home moisture problems. Good luck on your project.
