" We were here last week we have foundation -- doubt about it and now we've got the basic education that out already right. This is the yeah we don't says they kitchen area the eating area of the kitchen and we have a gigantic window in here another huge when -- really important thing. Are -- picture windows and either. Are awning units underneath. Three. Units mold together so that the top really be like a big window basically he'll do big three's three big sections -- with the with the -- to open up underneath. Give me an idea of the the events that happened here to get this far from the time we poured the foundation."

" All four days ago we stripped the forms -- and at that point we had to square up the could still -- double sill plate pressure treated wood but it -- square up to the existing house on and off the kitchen it's a very important room so that it. Everything comes out nice yeah inside and then what we did was built our floor system on top of that. Which has inside of it insulation because of the crawl space from underneath write him that we but these walls up."

" The floor looks pretty good and tight right right well something worth noting is that the importance of making sure the top of the foundation. Is in the right spots on the network you can see this right over here that's right when you lay it -- still enjoys spending and getting new subfloor you want to make sure that you have of a nice -- transition we have going from the -- know. And we'll bring this finished book. -- expect across yeah there really is critical to get the top foundation of that line up right that's what tells them now let's talk about this -- hears it all finished. It's just about ready to go. Let's describe what we've got that this the doorway obviously right Larry yes once this this'll be the doorway for the the kitchen entry into the garden correct and that will be a bank of cabinets right along this one wall. Underneath this window here. Let's just quickly look at the way it's laid out is that we look at this corner over here got regular studs that are always laid out sixteen students that are. You can view that if you'll look at the at the top plate our CNN in the doorway you've got the appears dead and appeared Jack studs that come to just below. The doorstep of what that pattern rest and then over here what he called us that this is an application back with Bob in this is that which we've used whenever you have. One while coming into and out while it's perpendicular angle right. Why didn't take three days to put it together like that that's going to explode when needed there were. Got enough nails and -- Victoria salsa well why don't we all fit into. Okay. Not much weight to this thing. And that it hasn't been an important part of the equation is getting that corner. Good and -- when she got one imminent. That'll hold it showed that the but the question that comes to mind is how do you keep track of all the different parts of the construction job. What this Friday we've got a construction flow chopped off let's take a look at it okay. All right now Ryley what is that."

" Purpose of a construction flow chart. Well this system -- help us keep track of the out of -- time it takes us to complete the construction. Different aspects of the job that's right and we know in this case that we didn't want to get these people back into this house by the end of July which gives us three months. May June and July. Larry watch your step and emitted and -- talk about what all these numbers represent. Well Bob last week we completed the foundation that's in the first week of may right exactly. And we don't know the first floor basically we're still doing a little bit here NC. In addition. Deck and wall -- actually have been completed that we were just there. And the demo of the outer walls and it's gonna go somewhat synonymous with the roof. A hot that we're working on that right at all also still in the second week correct. The new walls. Of the first floor. We'll be completed by the end of this week for the interior structural walls -- there vanity outer walls of the interior first floor walls are already completed OK yeah. And we're just waiting for a window of weather that we can we guarantee as. Solid week time without any major. Weather patterns. To remove the roof to remove the roof and start on the -- second floor deck OK and it's important acute. An idea of where we would like to be in the next few weeks in this to three week span here right. To get this house whether Terry that's occasionally -- because you've only really put in all these elements which -- in the rough framing because that rough construction. We chart. Keep it wants your weather tight then you can start working on schedule and substance via bringing a lot of different subs for the electrical work in the drywall et cetera. And of course in the next couple weeks we'll inject all those over a dozen people who was to do that right at this point is it. But a big challenge the big challenges that by the end of July we gotta have. These people coming back in the -- you gonna give them an occupancy permit."

Discussing Interior Painting Techniques
Discussing Interior Painting Techniques

Bob is joined by Joann Borges of CertaPro Painters, who goes over techniques and selected paints for covering new walls and trim efficiently and evenly. They begin with the paint sprayer that is typically used throughout a new production home. The sprayer begins with the ceilings and works down the walls, staying ten to twelve inches away from the surface to give an even coat. Sprayers cover all surfaces, including doors, closets, and trim to finish a room quickly. Speed and efficiency keep the cost down. High-quality, long-lasting paints mean that homeowners will wait longer to repaint and get more value from their investment. CertaPro is using Sherwin Williams' Duration Home throughout the interiors of these affordable homes. Duration Home is a latex paint that is enhanced with acrylic polymers to give durability and washability in a flat or non-glossy paint. Borges also shows how the painters use rollers to cover walls quickly, cutting in with a 2�-inch angled brush before rolling with an 18-inch roller to speed up the process.

Patching with Plaster
Patching with Plaster

Chris Borovka from US Gypsum joins Bob explain about patching with plaster. The first job entails patching over an existing door opening. They've put some Imperial Gypsum base up to the existing door frame and patched the existing hole with diamond veneer base coat. Next they put pressure sensitive fiber tape, P-Tape, over it and bonded the entire existing surface. The use USG Plaster Bonder Pink as a bonding agent - it rewettens and re-emulsifies - and put the base coat of plaster over that. Where the wall meets the ceiling, they apply pressure-sensitive tape to the existing surface and butt it in while applying the first coat of base coat. The first coat provides a nice even scratch coat. The second coat should be applied while the first coat is still fully wet and serves to take out some the bad dips and dives and the trowel marks from the first coat leaving a nice smooth finish. The next day you they'll put the finish coat over it. Where the insulators drilled holes into the original walls, the plasters put the Plaster Bonder Pink around the inside of the hole and fill it in with the base coat. They've meshed over the top of that for extra security and then bonded over the whole surface. On the blue board, it's a different type of installation. Shreve applies one-coat over the joints to reinforce them and fill in the undulation that's left from the two end tapes from the butt joints. That sets up for about an hour and then it's ready for finish coat.
