    but the following are still wrong
    Two word phrase to prevent sharp hardcore from puncturing DPM
    Selected Answer: Blinding Layer (wrong)
    Feedback: might be what happens in a desert storm

    i'm thinking sand blast or cloud sand

    The building location where insulation is most important
    Selected Answer: outer shell (wrong)
    Feedback: think about the outside of the structure

    Still clueless?


    What allows water to drain from walls?
    Selected Answer: Sloping Cavity Fill (wrong)
    Feedback: this is a major concern to prevent lawsuits

    dampness? cement joints? lawsuits?
