" Now the toughest part of joining these 314. Foot lengths of straight grain -- together he's getting he had his his right that's right Bob our cabinetmaker Brian Cuomo running boards through the proper -- from fifty. As well -- erupted for blue."

" And is there any crowning a warping do it to the boards that you have to worry about. Well each floor has a crowning. And and laying it down we had to size up and put each crown. And on top of each other. A city -- planners use of the respondents. Especially with a third. Yeah OK and other secret of courses in clamping them that's right and -- do it. Consistently. Start in the middle it. To certain -- to hear your hands have equal drying time. Really important aligning itself otherwise it beauty a lot of extra work Sandringham residence. -- For the -- that. Which gives them an important. OK -- All right. Now let's talk about how we get those straps right that's. Where did you get the stock for the but corbel as we're calling them -- lumber suppliers. And -- these. Out of six by six timbers in the actual three inch by -- forage to -- the Manhattan and put the playing off we're sides and then there's an elaborate set of cuts happening right Brentwood which is the first one. The first could be taken off the old ingrained accurately small splits. We've got that blade set up at the max. In -- yet that's. Okay and what's the next. Actual cut -- shall put on to the -- will next -- will be this temporary here which will be taken. Our our. Cross grain here exactly have deceptive the blade to the right depth -- we're gonna set the believes that -- it. -- take a test cut just to make sure do have the right setting. Now what seemed to be the hardest -- is to rip down. All the way down here. And remove all of this is currently have to do is. Bring her blade all the way up and take you cut since -- blade only rises three inches. We're going to come up before writes this about three quarter inch. Slab here's tools. Quarters of an inch. And ready to okay. Theoretically. Look connected there right if there is that's what's holding this altogether and just put this apart my trip home. Where there's a lot of waste here. You know assurance from how to -- this -- this here we just disposal while. Since resolved. Underneath it really doesn't have to be two -- yeah. The only last thing to do is to kind of smooth out the edges right yep great and -- now in that corner and Robert. Thanks --"

Storm-Ready Vinyl Roof Soffits
Storm-Ready Vinyl Roof Soffits

Bob looks at storm-ready features on the Punta Gorda house, starting with the front door that is outswinging with a stop to prevent blow-in. He also points out the impact-resistant glass that is being used throughout the house. Leslie Chapman-Henderson talks with Bob about soffit details that are being incorporated in the storm-ready house. The problem with poor soffits is that during a storm wind-driven rain and wind force their way up under the roof, into the attic where wind force attacks the structure and rain soaks the insulation and walls. In humid climates wet insulation and wallboard begin to grow mold within hours. Closing the soffit to penetration is not currently a code requirement but is critical to smart building in storm zones. Joe Breese from Alcoa shows Bob the vinyl soffit that is being used in the Punta Gorda house. The locking panel system means that wind will force the panels to grip tighter to one another rather than pull apart. The panels are connected to a j-channel that is attached to the wall. They are installed with 5/8-inch stub nails spaced every 16 inches. The soffit panels are cut to fit and stapled in place. There are no ventilation grilles evident on these vinyl panels. All air moves through the grooves in the panels to ventilate the roof and attic space. Still, these panels have about 80 percent more ventilation capacity than standard vinyl soffit panels.

Storm-Ready Building Features
Storm-Ready Building Features

Bob talks with Leslie Chapman-Henderson from FLASH about the storm-resistant features of the Punta Gorda house. The home is built of SWS — Solid Wall Systems — cast-in-place concrete walls that keep the home protected from impact and water penetration. It also has impact-resistant windows and patio doors to prevent penetration from flying debris, and an outswinging front door to resist blow-in. The home has a raised foundation and stem-wall construction to fight damage from storm surge. The roof goes beyond code with straps and clips that are embedded in the concrete structure during the pour to keep the roof tied down, extra thick 5/8-inch plywood sheathing rather than OSB, an extra moisture barrier, barrel tiles that are screwed into the substrate rather than mortered, and soffits that are reinforced and covered with a grill that resists wind penetration but allows heat from the roof to escape. Although code does not require storm-resistant soffits, Chapman-Henderson expects that to change after all of the soffit failures and water damage from Hurricane Charley. The garage door on this home is impact and wind-resistant with reinforced construction and heavy-duty tracks to prevent twisting, blow-in, and ultimate house failure during a high-wind event.
