Architect Steve Baczek walks through the latest progress on the Forever Home build, starting with an exterior tour that covers cedar lap siding, pre-finished eastern white cedar shingles, triple-glazed windows, and cellular PVC trim. Inside, the focus shifts to blueboard installation — a New England staple — and the veneer plaster process being carried out by Shanley Wallboard and Plastering. Baczek breaks down the sequencing of hanging board, corner bead application, and how a small crew can complete an entire floor in a single day. The episode also dips into the basement, where closed-cell spray foam, Rockwell stone wool insulation, and a fully finished fitness room round out the picture.
Be sure to watch the first 10 episodes of the series for full context.
