In Episode 6 of Forever Home, Steve brings viewers on site as roof framing takes shape, revealing how engineered roof trusses quietly drive both performance and design. From long-span solutions and raised-heel trusses to waste-reducing Ready-Frame packages, Steve explains how precision manufacturing improves accuracy, minimizes jobsite debris, and accelerates construction. He breaks down the anatomy of a truss—top chord, bottom chord, webs, and plates—while showing how thoughtful engineering supports high R-value insulation, continuous air barriers, and long-term durability. The episode also highlights how trusses enable architectural flexibility, carving out coffers, vaults, soffits, and mechanical plenums without compromising structural integrity. Moving from exterior rooflines to interior volumes, Steve connects building science with real-world decision-making, including accessibility, aging-in-place planning, and moisture management. Episode 6 demonstrates that roof framing is more than structure—it is a critical system where performance, efficiency, and architectural intent come together to define a true forever home.
