I Cut an Engineered Floor Truss (Here's Why) | Mtn Home Ep.15

We're wrapping up framing and prepping for drywall. That means tackling the tedious but crucial process of blocking for heavy fixtures. We also make a major structural modification: cutting an engineered floor truss (with engineer approval) to gain stairwell headroom. Finally, we pull a well water sample for extensive lab testing before buying a filtration system. Huge thanks to the crew who helped make this happen — links to everyone involved below.
