Vermont Farmhouse Project


Reviewing the Home's Layout Video

With the first floor deck framing underway, Bob orients viewers to the home's layout and provides a progress report on the construction so far. Engineered wood products feature heavily in the framing process, and Bob makes special note of the engineered I-joists, fabricated from laminated veneer lumber (LVL) and oriented strand board (OSB), which provide span capabilities far greater than could be achieved with dimensional lumber.
