Stopped by a construction site in farm country just down the road from my father's house. He gets a kick out of watching people build houses. This one's going to be an exact replica of a house that was put up back in the early 1900s. The original pretty much ate itself over the years and needed to be replaced.

I don't know anything about construction but we were wondering why they were putting the foam board down. How do the layers go, can somebody explain that?

I also noticed that all the wood was particle board or pressed pieces. It's amazing what glue can do.

Best guess:

Moisture barrier.

Idk much about that part of construction. I've done (helped on others jobs) framing and roofing, but not pad and so on.
