Some job sites make you stop for a second and look around. This is definitely one of them.

With the Vermont mountains stretching out behind us, this home is starting to rise out of the foundation. The crew has been setting floor trusses, installing beams, framing the stairwell, and slowly turning what was once a set of plans into something you can actually stand in and walk through.

Of course, building rarely happens in one perfectly straight line. Measurements get checked, layouts get adjusted, and sometimes you go back and fix something before moving forward. That’s part of the process, and part of getting it right.

There’s still a long way to go, but seeing the first pieces of the floor system come together against a backdrop like this makes it pretty easy to imagine what it’s going to feel like when someone gets to call this place home.

Safe to say, the future homeowners are going to have a pretty incredible view.

How do you waterproof a foundation?

One important step is installing a dimple mat vertically along the exterior. This adds another layer of protection and helps move water away from the foundation, keeping the structure dry and protected.

The details you won’t see once the home is finished are often some of the most important.

How do we keep a timber frame house attached to the foundation? Rob’s breaking it down.

It’s one of those details you probably wouldn’t think twice about once the house is finished, but there’s a lot happening at the connection between the timber frame and the concrete below it. Getting that connection right is what helps transfer loads and keeps the structure securely anchored where it belongs.

And with a Vermont mountain backdrop like this, we figured there were worse places for a quick construction lesson.

What else do you want Rob to explain? Drop your questions below and we might make a video about it.

A few different RSC projects, all at very different stages, and all starting to take shape.

One crew is deep in site work, getting the foundation area dug, graded and prepped. Another is moving into the details inside, with shower prep, tile, window trim and custom newel posts underway. And somewhere in between are the material runs, mechanical work, drywall, insulation and about a hundred other things that keep each project moving forward.

And, of course, quality control stopped by to inspect the work. He found the nearest box and gave us his approval. 🐈

A little bit of what’s been keeping the RSC crew busy lately.

The last two windows are officially in, and we’re working our way through the exterior details.

J-channel went in around the back windows, which is essentially the trim that gives the siding a clean, finished edge where it meets each window. We also sheathed and weatherproofed the wall by the stairs, prepped the openings, and got the exterior corner boards painted and ready to go.

Next on the list is insulation and drywall, which means all of the framing you can see now will soon be covered up and the inside will start to feel like an actual room.

We’ll keep bringing you along as it comes together.

What are we looking at here? And why is something burning? Let’s talk about it.

We’re clearing up a site we’re currently working on, and when clearing a site, we’re left with a lot more than just trees. There are branches, brush, roots, stumps, logs and plenty of smaller debris that all need somewhere to go.

Here, we’re using a few different methods. Some of the logs and brush are being run through the chipper, while other woody debris is collected into a controlled burn pile. We’re also pulling stumps, scraping out roots and cleaning up around the septic area as we work our way through the property.

It’s a big part of site prep that you don’t always get to see, but clearing and organizing the land now gives us a clean slate for the work ahead.

A lot of construction is thinking three steps ahead.
At this stage, the walls are still open, the bracing is still visible, and you can actually see the decisions being made that will shape everything that follows. Where openings land, how the structure is supported, how water moves around the foundation, and how each piece connects to the next.

It’s a good reminder that a finished home is really just thousands of small decisions, made in the right order.

Curious about what you’re looking at? Drop your construction questions below. We’re always happy to explain what’s happening behind the build.

Let’s dissect what we’re looking at here, because unless you work in construction, a lot of these details can be easy to miss.

The sheathing is the solid layer of wood panels covering the framing. Think of it as the structure’s outer shell, adding strength and creating the surface the rest of the exterior will build onto.

That white Tyvek you see wrapped around the addition is a weather barrier. It helps keep rain and moisture from getting into the walls while still allowing trapped moisture to escape.

Along the roofline, the soffit is the finished underside of the roof overhang, while the fascia is the board running along its outer edge. They’re important for protecting the roof structure, but they also give everything a clean, finished appearance.

Inside, the framing is essentially the skeleton of the new space. Right now you can clearly see the walls, window and door openings, and that beautiful vaulted ceiling taking shape.

A lot of what eventually gets covered up is actually doing some of the most important work. This stage is all about creating a strong, weather-protected structure before the finishes start going in.

Do you think this section of the slab is missing by mistake? It’s actually completely intentional. This opening was planned exactly where the door will go. Sometimes, what looks unfinished is simply part of the plan.

It may look like we're standing in the middle of a magical Vermont forest, but this is actually where the work begins.

Before construction can start, the land has to be carefully prepared. Today was spent clearing trees, pulling stumps, sorting logs, and making space for a future Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), a smaller, fully functional home built on the same property as the main house. Whether it's used for family, guests, or rental income, every ADU starts with thoughtful site preparation.

It's the part of the process most people never see, but it's what lays the groundwork for everything that comes next.
