Dean Johnson and Robin Hartl break ground on the new house they're contracting themselves and explain the pre-construction steps they took to get to that point.

The crew finishes the basement wall block and foundation waterproofing. Dean Johnson and Robin Hartl explore the choices in lumber, windows & doors as framing begins.

The framing crew finishes up the interior framing on the house Dean Johnson and Robin Hartl are contracting themselves. The windows arrive and the mechanical rough-ins begin.

The schedule gets a little complicated as the mechanical systems and the framing near completion on the house Dean Johnson and Robin Hartl are contracting themselves. In this program, they show how to co-ordinate building inspections, material deliveries and wall-to-wall subcontractors.

Dean Johnson and Robin Hartl talk about the finish elements now going on the house they're contracting: the veneer plaster inside and the architectual roof shingles outside. And they describe in detail all the elements of "healthy house" construction they've built into this home.

The end of construction is in sight, as Dean Johnson and Robin Hartl focus on the finish elements going into the kitchen and bathrooms in the home they're contracting.

The sub-contractors finish off their jobs one-by-one as Dean Johnson and Robin Hartl get ready to wrap up the home they're contracting themselves.

With the subcontracted work completed, Dean Johnson and Robin Hartl show how the house they contracted themselves turned out. They also talk about all the paperwork that needs to be finished before moving in.
