When we developed GBA a few years ago, we knew that we would need, want, and eventually have a deep video program, but because the pile of work to do in order to meet our deadline was pretty darned big, and because we were a bunch of print guys and gals building this thing, we decided to let the video program sit on the back burner. We produced some, but didn’t spend the resources to go hog-wild.

几年后，当GBA在汤顿出版社（Taunton Press）的机翼下搬回时，当GBA团队接管了FineHomeBuilding.com的ins绳时，我们开始尝试播放更多视频。有了更大的FHB预算，将事情推动（SSSHHHH！请不要告诉我的老板我们在做什么）更容易。

我问建造GBA的家伙凯利（Kelly）添加了视频交付页面类型，该类型将使我们能够向付费成员传递视频。他给了我们一个快速而肮脏的视频页面，但是由于它快速而肮脏，因此没有集成到网站架构中。这意味着GBA Pro会员无法通过MY GBA工具与团队中的人们分享会员视频。

当马萨诸塞州格洛斯特的一位建筑师问他为什么不能分享时，这一事实变得非常明显exterior insulation retrofit videos
with vinyl siding contractors in his city. Turns out, he is in charge of Gloucester’s energy retrofit program. To make it easy for him to help his city, we comp’ed the vinyl siding contractors to free membership so that they could watch the video series.

我很尴尬地宣布，一个更好的解决方案一直坐在我们的鼻子下方 - GBA百科全书。如果是蛇，那会咬我。我们将名称从绿色建筑百科全书更改为文章和视频百科全书，将一些视频插入了百科全书的建筑中，瞧！GBA专业人士可以通过我的GBA与非会员（例如您的壁板承包商）共享的仅限会员视频。那里还有一些免费视频。

One of the first new video series in the encyclopedia is a带有木壁板的房屋中的法兰窗户更换
，在_Fine Homebuilding的新项目House上拍摄。

在接下来的几个月中，我们将尽快将现有视频汇总到百科全书中，但请记住，我们的人数短，预算紧张，有点健忘。

Better still, we will be adding some great multi-part video series to GBA in the coming year. A couple that I am particularly excited about are _Full Window Replacement in a Brick House_ and _How To Install Airtight Drywall_. We also have a pretty good pile of Dr. Joe videos which will roll out over the next year too.
