Shingles and Windows (HA1303)
The roof structure begins to take shape in this episode, which focuses on the asphalt shingle installation. The crew takes us through the steps of the shingling process, from the flashing and underlayment, to the precise layout of each course. Back on the ground, Ryley and framing contractor Kevin Parquette are installing windows . Bob also explores the home designs of the firm of noted 20th century architect Royal Barry Wills, an avid proponent of preserving historical accuracy and proportion in designing elegant, sensible houses for modern living.
