Habitat for Humanity Project


Framing the Walls (HA1002)

Buy Show Video

The walls are going up on our Habitat house in Yonkers. Bob joins Ryley and Steve Thompson of Premier Building Systems to explain about the Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS) being used in the project. Then it's off to the Premier manufacturing facility in Washington State to see just how they are manufactured. Back in Yonkers, framing work continues and Bob moves to the basement to check out the GFX, a new, money-saving system for recapturing heat from drain water.
