Framing & Insulation | Building Quality Starts Here | Sawdust EP 02

In this episode of SAWDUST, we visit three coastal building projects.

Back at the Waterfront project, the framing crew is coming in the behind last week’s helical pier installation to frame the home. We’ll give you a close-up look at how they work, focusing on accuracy and pace to ensure a squeak-proof subfloor and a frame that’s square, true, and plumb.

Jeff introduces the Modern Farmhouse project. Located on the cliffs of Narragansett, RI, this house needs to stand up to harsh high-winds and wind-driven rain. Our approach to using both closed cell and open cell spray foam insulation creates an air-tight vapor barrier. Learn how we add R value, enhance structural rigidity, make a home that’s quieter to live in, and ensure a more efficient building envelope for a high-performance, energy efficient home.

Finally, we visit a New England grist mill that was built in 1703. We are donating our services to the South Kingstown Land Trust to help preserve this unique local historic landmark – which has played a part in our town's farming heritage for more than 300 years.

Watch along for inside look at our approach to coastal building!
