By Brent Hull

The past can be an excellent teacher, especially when it comes to building. Simple ideas like trim and moldings all the way to windows and doors all have a history, with a lot of influence on how we build today. In this class Brent Hull will take a broad-strokes look at historical building techniques and traditions to better understand how they end up in our homes today, and how to get the details right so we can build better, longer lasting homes today.
