How a modern farmhouse is being sealed against the elements
In short: In Fairfield County, the construction of a new farmhouse reaches a critical stage. This episode follows the installation of specialized roofing and large-scale glass to secure the structure's exterior.
The project focuses on 'buttoning up' the exterior to protect the interior from weather. This involves installing a large sliding door at the front of the house, designed to maximize views of the Long Island Sound from the great room. The roofing strategy uses two distinct materials: asphalt shingles for the main structure and metal panels for the barn section. The video captures the technical process of crimping metal roofing panels on-site to ensure a weather-tight finish.
