" All right let's recap a couple of the features of our storm ready house like this door. Front door it swings out instead of in that needs it really has a stop behind it and high winds will not blow it in that's just a primer color it's going to be painted dark. Like the colors of the windows over here the other thing is the impact resistant glass that we have throughout the house and then of course the fact that all our exterior walls are solid structural walls are poured concrete. Leslie Chapman Henderson is with us again from flash I've -- and -- Now we are building this house so that it can withstand really bad storms and one of the last structural systems that hasn't been completed is the roof overhang. They the soffit detail as it's referred to."

" That's right we really beefed up the framing here because the because are largely silent on soffits so we had we seen a lot of failures in high wind events and -- get failure. The wind pushes up and the winter -- prostrate behind it in the immediate aftermath mold develops and all types of problems."

" Your insulation gets wet your ceilings collapse and it's a nightmare. Although I think there are two schools of thought right now about whether you have venting or no venting at all with some people like the idea of a totally enclosed. Attic system."

" That's right a lively debate is underway and I don't think we have all the answers there yet but in the Spirit of finding the right answers second debate will continue -- it."

" Well the debates. Have taken place over all the different elements of this beautiful red tile that's up there used to be put on the roof with just paddy of cement now we have to. Mechanical devices screws that fasten it to the plywood but anyway getting back to the soffit is aluminum."

" This is vinyl and this is -- priest or not how I judge all right Bob so. Vinyl is final but is also pretty flexible isn't that a problem when you're talking about high winds and and what about wind driven rain getting into the soffit well normally when people think about -- they think of aluminum soffit yeah and what we found is that. Vinyl soffit actually has a lot of a lot of advantages over aluminum soffit one of them being that it has this locking system on. So windy wind load this locking system this locking system where from one panel to the next -- they kind of come in and they lock together. Like that. Yet I -- yes. So what this actually what occurs when a wind load or any kind of load is placed upon this panel. It actually. Forces itself together and pulls itself together a lot like a lot like two hands gripping together OK so that's the thought and how is it actually applied up there as an attached to. Our soffit frame and to the house we -- Larry's doing right now is he's placed and AJ channel on the wall which he. That's basically this material here yes exactly yeah. -- attached that is actually is that with five eighths stub nails. And he's doing that about every sixteen inches along the wall all right. And now he's cutting them to shape. Now spreading --"

" And of course he's got a corner here so he's starting off with a 45 degree. Staples."

" Wanting this -- us about this soffit is that you really can't see any type of ventilation on the surface of it. Typically soffit has. Ten holes in it sometime of land things that allowed air to flow into it. What we've done with this panel we've actually hidden that ventilation. Up inside the grooves. And it gives it a real nice aesthetic but at the same time this panel actually has about 80% more ventilation than any kind of standard vinyl panel you find out there."

" All right we'll thank you Joe and Leslie great to see how many yards back and -- Todd Davison from FEMA and ask your questions."
