EEBA and
Shelter Source
It will primarily be made available through EEBA, and if
one becomes an EEBA member -- which carries a variety

The Builders Guide already came in handy to diffuse a nasty
argument at a job site in suburban Washington, DC where there
was about to be a major vapour-daming problem created by

Fisticuffs and exchanges of bodily fluids were narrowly averted
thanks to a passage in the volume related to vapor retarders.
