Following the PATH
Okay, I admit it. I'm a construction nerd. I love reading about new building technologies, which is why I've enjoyed all of the PATH case histories posted on our site. While some of them cover the same technology, others deal with stuff I'd never heard of before.
Case in point: the article about corrugated stainless steel tubing. Although I've been reporting about the construction industry for almost 14 years, this material and this use were new to me. And, like the other PATH technologies, it makes perfect sense. I'm all in favor of anything that can save time (and money) for builders and remodelers.
I wish I could provide links to all of the case studies, but there are too many. However, if you search for "PATH case study" on HGTVPro.com, you'll get all of them -- and then some. Take some time and read these fascinating, first-person reports about the latest in building science.
What's your own favorite time-saver in construction? Do you have a technique or material that you turn to repeatedly? Let me know; I'd love to find out what builders are doing out in the field.

I am no builder--just an elderly homeowner who has just had her fifth (and final?) house built with many ideas gleaned from this site. Thank you, thank you for addressing issues in easy to understand text Some of the ideas put into use gave my general contractor hairy fits, but he had to admit he learned a bit too.
