Proud dad moment incoming! 🎉 Todd’s oldest daughter, Alli (the A of AE), has officially committed to play 🏐 volleyball at NDSU!
She’s keeping the college athlete tradition alive—Todd played 🏈 football while earning his degree in Computer Science. While he’s not thrilled about how far she’s moving, he couldn’t be prouder of her hard work and big future ahead.

Just a friendly ⏰ reminder: Check your local 📚 building codes! They can change more often than you think.
International codes (like the IBC) get updated every 3 years, but it’s up to each state or municipality to decide when—or if—they adopt the latest version. That means timelines vary, and you can’t assume last year’s rules still apply.
As you’re planning or 🛠️ building this spring and summer, double-check your local codes before you get too far down the road!

Did you know your 🍳 kitchen could be polluting your indoor air? Every time you cook—especially with a gas stove—you’re releasing tiny, harmful particulates into the air. Grease splatter incinerates in the flames, producing pollutants, and even ceramic cooktops can have this effect with splatter.
Passive House design takes indoor air quality seriously by ensuring homes have controlled ventilation and 🌬️ airtight construction. This approach helps keep pollutants out while maintaining a constant supply of fresh, clean air—without sacrificing energy efficiency.
Better air quality starts with better 🔨 building. Is your home designed to support your health?
