Two-Family Greystone Project


Parallam and Iron Beam (HA0117)


The crew installs a Parallam beam in the living room and iron beams in the back masonry wall. Ron Gan and Bill Bauhs talk budget and convince Bob to renovate the basement as well, so we take a visit to the Pella Window factory in Pella, Iowa, to see how they can reproduce the special circle-head window in the basement.
