This Old House (1979)

S41E4 The Westerly Ranch House: Raise a Second Story

The pre-constructed gambrel roof sections are lifted into place, followed by the assembly of the second-floor walls. Three fresh apprentices join the team through the Generation Next initiative. Tom Silva teaches them the techniques for measuring and cutting roof rafters. Meanwhile, Richard Trethewey collaborates with an engineer tasked with creating a septic system tailored for the project.
