 Buy Show Video
Bob begins a brand new project in the heart of South Carolina's low country. Located in Mt. Pleasant, the neighborhood of I'On focuses on community living, to re-create a more traditional small-town feeling. Our project, the Duany Plater-Zybek "Lifespan" home, is designed with state of the art features, as well as new building techniques developed to make the house more resistant to extreme weather. We'll tour the coastal town of Mt. Pleasant, and meet the contractor, Kevin Kalman, and the other I'On developers, to discuss building strategies and techniques. Work also begins on the first floor deck, and Steve Barth from Willamette Industries is on board to explain the EZ Frame system being used. Additional information is available regarding the benefits of building with engineered wood.
