SEE-THRU HOUSE MEMBERS  At first glance, the SEE-THRU HOUSE™ looks like someone’s construction loan ran out. Yet, a closer look makes it apparent it’s appearance is planned with careful attention to details from the intricacy of the build-out to the integration and placement of the products. The "reveal" of the SEE-THRU HOUSE™ is deliberate.
"When I started thinking about the SEE-THRU HOUSE™ a few years ago, I thought it was a great way for homeowners to get some answers by looking at a house from the inside out," recalls Stan A. Garnet, who masterminded the project through We Teach House™ Institute. |

 The See-Thru House is available to view and walk through 2 times a year at the Atlanta Home shows located at the Cobb Galeria.
Homeowners and buyers can ask questions about the latest security technology or how to keep their basements dry or even prevent water damage," says Garnet. "Where else can a homeowner ask a pro a question without getting a bill?" Among the SEE-THRU HOUSE™ pros are plumbers, electricians, framers, security people, HVAC techs, mold mitigators and more.

ATTACKED BY EFFLORESCENCE? What should you do! |
|
Efflorescence is a deposit of soluble salt. It can be present in mortar, brick, and concrete and possibly found in the material used for backfill. We often see this develop and build on interior and exterior surfaces where there is water penetration. It usually is not a structural problem but rather an irritating cosmetic issue. It can also be a warning that your foundation walls are seeping water, holding water or just staying moist. Typically efflorescence will develop when soluble salts are present in the wall, the concrete, the brick or the mortar. When you add water to these salts then the salts will be carried to the surface. As it begins to dry and evaporate the salts surface from the mixture and remain on the surface and these become the visible deposits. |
