Two-Family Greystone Project


Engineered Beams and Plumbing (HA0116)


Bob and Ron discuss the removal and shoring up of bearing walls, to be replaced by special engineered beams. We visit David Parker at Macmillan-Bloedel's Parallam Plant in Vancouver, British Columbia, to see how they manufacture those beams. Also, plumber Don McPoland shows us how the new water service is connected to the house.
