As a Clevelander living in Europe now, I have found it very interesting to talk with homeowners in France where I am about why they have these stone houses, why their roofs are what they are, how the drainage and ventilation is dealt with, etc. Many are lured into a false sense of security by a new home and guarantees. The older ones are often better but need a lot of correct updating. The good artisans have to be booked years in advance.
Thanks for exposing this

Marko, I have actually seen manufacturers specs which are also wrong. Builders still do not get what a drainage plane is all about?
