The Billerica House - 5 (S21E05)
S21E05
Homeowner Dick Silva gives us a glimpse of the newly framed first floor, while Tom Silva highlights the key features of a solid framing system. In the basement, our master carpenter discusses how the floor joists connect with two steel beams to enhance headroom, as the host and crew stabilize a metal post. Next, we take a trip to a Florida factory where they produce 25 miles' worth of wooden I-beams for the house's flooring each day. Back on-site, architect Chris Dallmus shares his techniques for minimizing the size and visual impact of the planned three-car garage. Finally, framing contractor Eric Machemer and his team lift the last of the first-floor walls, marking a significant step in the construction.
