" Good sized room but this is so the master bedroom house well we've been using it for -- And you got that incredible view we do and you know 11 of the architects who worked with came into the house they recognize this thing with southwest corner of the house is the right place the kitchen so that's what of the plant's been based around. Yeah that makes a lot of sense but this is a brand new window -- noticed that everywhere we go you do seem to have brand new windows that's right these are new windows that we put in just last year and we're going to be recyclables projects that we keep the costs down. And makes a lot of sense they're good quality windows and yet beautiful hardwood floors here into the wall to wall we doing or planning to have the hardwood floors in the kitchen as well great and so we can say it's great so things are under way you're stripping away area. Some of the from the trim and such can we do we go this way short. It's amazing how they love pink bathrooms. Thirty years ago they did but some pretty good shape now what's the plan here. Well this is the room and we're going to spend a larger about from an also area want from drug him through a locker room that makes sense yeah okay. So you'll tear down that wall there and take up this entire space here right this is the wing where the two other bedrooms in the house are -- This particular room right here is -- of baby was sleeping it's just really really done that looks like -- freshly painted no changes take place you know we're going to keep this in store furniture and you can use it as a guest bedroom right. And this is the boy's bedroom. Yes it is they'll both in here and at the moment it's full of furniture which was in storage during the construction. But when all let's move back and uses them so the idea is that the kids will all be on the new second floor right take a look at the -- further in the dining."

" So is her basement there is full basement and it's dark of course but lets -- rot. And this is you're thirty year old knotty pine kitchen that it is yeah. So what happens to this how this cabinet work is not -- actually -- friend of -- used to redo kitchen and south country kitchens actually recycle it. And this space what happens here this is going to become the new entranceway -- houseful of small coat closet over here. And and a staircase right and staircase setting up over there better look at the plan yet. This is the main floor here and you can see some of the area we've just been yeah we walked in from the side through fortune you're living room right that's right just been in down the hall we've seen here. Existing master which becomes this big kitchen. Right that's correct and of course existing bedrooms of their the next day yeah. And so now we've just seen your kitchen which becomes the new entry with skiers. After the second floor that's correct we're in the dining room -- in the downing of that which will be expanded a couple of feet to decrease the size of the countries like okay but the big news is on the second floor of this house. Which is where all the new space is being carved out -- over here over the existing. Bedroom area. You'll be putting in a master bedroom that's correct master bedroom will go over the existing house also in addition you'll see this roof deck -- the master bedroom of the nice feature and a pretty expensive bathroom -- as well something the previous -- right did an expansive view said so that it it does look like it's going to be about. What about ten feet across that's correct yeah it's good and then you have this hall and you have a bedroom right another bath. And then took office there -- Well we've decided but the -- up there -- so that it won't be up on the upper floor that's good at this stage we feel that we need to -- close sure it makes us and then this is open to below we've got a big cathedral ceiling on the second floor in the in the living section that's correct. Very very nice pretty elaborate ambitious."

Finished Interior for a Container-Built Home

The finishing touches are being added to the interior of the home in St Petersburg. The appliances are being delivered and installed. The home features an open plan with a modern design. The kitchen, dining, and living rooms are all one open space. This provides a free-flowing atmosphere where everyone can see each other. The space is made up of two containers and the space between the two containers has conventional framing, which creates a bigger space with a higher ceiling for the living area. Off the central hall are four bedrooms, including a master bedroom with its own dedicated bathroom. There are three additional bedrooms and a spacious bathroom at the end of the hall. Drywall was placed on the metal furring strips and then a wood frame was put in place for the windows. Construction adhesive was used to secure the wood baseboards. The interior walls are faced with DensArmor Plus fiberglass wallboard from Georgia Pacific. When building in a humid environment like Florida, it's very important to use material that is resistant to mildew and mold. DensArmor uses a fiberglass mat instead of an organic face. The fiberglass does not provide a surface for mold to grow. The ceiling has a knockdown texture painted with semigloss paint. The interior walls have a satin finish with an orange-peel texture.

Floorplans and Layout of the Container House

Back on site, Bob joins Ray Price for a look at the ISBU's on their foundations. The total footprint of the house is 58 feet from front to back, or 1,800 square feet in total, with 2 ISBU's on each side. Between them, 7 3/4 inch-wide steel floor joists will run 16 inches on center and be welded on each end to the ISBU's, creating a total steel structure that will then get a plywood subfloor. Price shows Bob the floorplans for this Highland model. It has a front entry that leads to a living room, dining room, and kitchen combination that functions like a great room and family space. A central hallway leads to the back of the house and passes between two bedrooms on the right with a bath between them and two bedrooms on the left, including a master bedroom with its own bath, walk-in closet, and utility room. The single-car garage is built of cement block. The exterior will be finished in stucco like a traditional Florida home, and will match its identical, but smaller, prototype down the block.

Tour of an Affordable Home

Bob and developer John Druley walk through a home under construction by Qualker Homes in Falmouth, Massachusetts. This standard design is used for both the market-priced and affordable homes. The overall dimensions of the house are 26 feet by 36 feet. A center-door entry leads to 13-by-18-foot living room on one side and a 16-by-13-foot master bedroom on the other. The back of the house has a 13-by-18-foot kitchen with a back door and a window onto the backyard, a half-bath and laundry, and an entry to the master bedroom with full bath, tub-shower combination, double-bowl sink, and linen closet. The upstairs has two bedrooms with operable skylights and a full bath. This three-bedroom, two-and-one-half bath Cape will be lotteried as an affordable home to eligible families who make between $29,000 and $65,000 per year, and who qualify for a traditional mortgage. The home is stick-built with traditional 2X4 framing, oriented strand board (OSB) exterior sheathing, low-e glass, tilt-in vinyl windows, and gas heat. Bob and Druley point out that an affordable home must be affordable to operate and heat as well as being affordable to purchase.

Building Reinforced Concrete Storm-Ready Homes in Florida

Bob is joined on the site of the Punta Gorda, Florida, storm-ready home by Jim Crain of Precise Forms. Precise Forms partners with Mercedes Builders to create high-quality, reinforced concrete homes throughout Florida. Precise Forms began in 1967 by supplying cast-in-place forms for subterranean foundations and basements. In 2000 they began to set forms for full wall, cast-in-place houses for Mercedes Homes. Once the forms are set, Bob walks through the layout with Jesse Gonzalez of Mercedes Homes. Gonzalez points to window placements that are encapsulated behind the aluminum forms as they walk past view windows in the family area, past the three bedrooms, bath, laundry, and two-car garage of this four-bedroom home with master suite. Mark Newton of Solid Wall Systems joins Bob as the pour begins. He explains that they are using a 2,000 pound psi, small aggregate concrete mix for the entire pour. We watch as the concrete is pumped into the forms, which are braced at the top by two-by-fours that hold the tops of the forms square to prevent movement as the forms receive the static pressure of the concrete. Newton explains that they will vibrate around all door and window openings before allowing the concrete to set. This will help eliminate voids, honeycombing, or any blowout due to bad adhesion or conformity of the concrete.
