Forever Home Episode 6 - Roof Framing

In Episode 6, roof framing takes shape, revealing how engineered roof trusses drive both performance and design. He breaks down the anatomy of a truss — top chord, bottom chord, webs and plates — while showing how they support high R-value insulation, continuous air barriers and long-term durability. He also shows how trusses enable architectural flexibility without compromising structural integrity.

The Forever Home Build is an original series offering a rare, behind-the-scenes look at a powerful collaboration between veteran homebuilding partners Steve Baczek and Jim Wolffer of Shoreline Builders in Boston. Together with Jim’s son, Taylor, the team takes on the meaningful challenge of tearing down an existing home in Duxbury, MA to build a custom, legacy home designed to serve generations of one extraordinary family.

Follow along as Steve and Jim walk viewers through key design and construction decisions - each one thoughtfully made to support multi-generational living, accessibility for wheelchair users, and features tailored to those with visual impairments. From aging in place to inclusive, functional design, this project is about more than just building a house - it’s about building a forever home that truly fits the people who live in it.
