In this episode, the assembly of the main sections of the modular home is nearly complete, and work is underway on the building’s exterior. Bob begins with a quick tour of the house with general contractor Michael Shiels. The roof shingles are being installed, and Brian Eberle from Enviroshake is on hand to explain the benefits of the engineered product that has been selected for the project house. At the back of the house, Mark Murphy from Owens Corning and his crew are applying a Cultured Stone veneer to the foundation of the home. Inside, Bob looks at the distinct features of the modular construction process, including the marriage walls and joints.
