    Here's a resource mentioned by Matt Risinger. It's a website called Construction Instruction by Mark Laliberte. Matt said in his video that he learned a lot of his building science methods from Mark when he was first starting out.

    https://constructioninstruction.com/

    Have a look through their building science library for some great articles, how-to videos and design details.
