S2, E3: Framing the Schaper's Custom Home

NOTE: Due to dramatic changes in the building industry in 2020 & 2021, we archived season two and recorded updated episodes with current information. Please enjoy this updated episode from Season Six, recorded on August 20, 2023

In today's episode, we take a walk through the Schaper family's home during the framing stage of construction. With design, excavation, and foundation complete, the framing crews are assembling walls and putting roof trusses in place. As the Schapers see their vision being built on their lot, we talk about what it's like to see your dream house becoming your home.

We also speak with Eva Fryer of Payne Family Homes about the differences between custom and production home building and the importance of women in construction.
