About this listen

This week on All About Home Construction, we’re taking a look back at the time-tested building methods that still influence how we build today. From Appalachian log homes and stone foundations to timber framing, passive solar design, and locally sourced materials, many of the “old ways” are making a comeback for good reason. We’ll explore how traditional craftsmanship, natural materials, and climate-smart design from generations past continue to show up in modern homes — not just for looks, but for performance and sustainability. Tune in for a fascinating mix of history, tradition, and modern building insight.
