Jake Bruton and Steve Baczek are bringing us a start-to-finish project—The Hilltop Aarow House—based in Columbia, Missouri. Watch as the two bring this house to life on what Steve calls "the most exciting build to date." On this kick-off episode, there is construction taking place, but Steve brings us back to the very beginning of the project, months before, to review discussions with the homeowners, what the situation was over a year ago when they first got to the job site, and how they got to where they are now. Building on top of a hill comes with some of its questions—Steve and Jake address that too! What to expect: energy efficiency and planning for it even after construction.
