This Old House | Losing Our Truss (S41 E19) FULL EPISODE

The original roof was held up by a traditional truss system. Our homeowners want to create a cathedral ceiling in this third-floor bonus room. Kevin finds Tommy and Charlie installing a beam system that will support the roof without the truss.

The new addition will include a mudroom and bathroom. Because theres no attic above, it makes sense to bring ductwork and plumbing in from existing basement mechanicals and branch off into crawl space below the rooms. Kevin finds Mark McCullough starting the process of breaking through the existing stone foundation. Our Idea House is where we test new products. Kevin travels to New Canaan, Connecticut and meets builder Gordon Jacobsen who is installing a device for bringing natural light into dark areas of the house: its called a sun tunnel. Our homeowners have asked for a number of cooling zones. In a conventional HVAC system that could mean up to a half dozen condensers outside. Kevin finds Richard working on a more up to date plan that recuses the condenser count to two.
