LifeSpan House Project

Framing the Roof (HA1103)

The neighborhood of I'On is built around a myriad of architectural styles and designs. Bob shows us some of these variations throughout the neighborhood before returning to the site where the roof framing is underway. Bryan Readling is back to talk about the features being used on the roof, including Peel & Seal tape to seal the joints and LP TechShield, a reflective sheathing product. Back on the ground, construction consultant Steve Easley shows us how to install Tyvek wrap around the house.
