" Well guys that's it Qaeda Scott butchers here from Mercedes and -- got hour right here so. Scott and Mercedes homes are gonna build your dream home and my question is. Did you choose a layout that's basically the same as the house that was destroyed. Nothing at all like it's really. Lovable halls we just had a little -- blood -- the silver lining is that although your home was destroyed -- living in in a trailer out in Arcadia. You will end up with your dream home here -- Yeah that's great. Ever and it's got tickets through the layout would you."
" Sure this is our Jacqueline model if you comment on the left hand side we have two car garage. 3 bedrooms in the morning bath. And we have a large family room with a central kitchen and breakfast. -- combination living and dining room -- walked in the front door and on the right is the master."
" This -- So you guys the main entrance is here. We're right now standing kind of opposite the garage so because it's a corner like you kind of drive in from the side of the house. Like deck is you don't see the garage doors from the street. -- that that's that's a big deal now what sort of features does this house now that'll make it hurricane resistant."
" Some of the great features we have in this home that we're doing throughout slip more -- we have a Hong very solid pour exterior wall. It's reinforced with rebar. Coming up about every eight foot union between that we have steel road -- you will he be so. It's a six inch thick solid poured concrete reinforced with an awful lot of steel."
" Now is this type of system gonna replace the traditional concrete block structures that we -- Florida. I think it will eventually -- block is still very prevalent in the -- well we just think that this is once that. Strong -- and a little bit better what about the roof I mean the main problem they had with their house was that the roof blew off. We're kind of a roof system when you went on here this is an engineered wrestlers. It'll be tied down -- our hurricane straps that are wet set in the concrete. And on top of the plus we'll have five eighths plywood. So. With that it's a very very strong structure we've had that perform extremely well last. And you -- in three months right yes. Good."
