鲍勃回到了位于佛罗里达州蓬塔戈达(Punta Gorda)准备迎接暴风雨的房子，那里的电力系统、管道和墙壁的内部工作正在进行中。外摆的超大前门完成了建筑围护结构上的密封。它安装在1又3 / 4英寸的窗台上，靠在预制混凝土边缘上，旨在防止门吹入或水从下面吹入。作为一种防风措施，门会向外摆动，这样风就不会迫使它打开，从而在暴风雨期间形成风的穿透和加压。鲍勃检查了电线安装和管道工作，然后回顾了他对PGT窗户工厂的参观，以及抗冲击窗户和露台滑块的安装。Bob穿过阶梯式拱门，通向开放式厨房/家庭区域和远处的卧室。乔治亚-太平洋公司的萨德·古德曼(Thad Goodman)正在那里安装DensArmor Plus玻璃纤维墙板。没有纸、糖和淀粉作为粘合剂，这种玻璃纤维表面的石膏不受霉菌、霉菌和昆虫的影响。在潮湿的气候中保持房屋干燥可以防止破坏性的霉菌生长。科勒发电机和方形D /施耐德电气面板箱将保持房子的功能，凉爽，干燥，以防暴风雨或停电。

- 鲍勃回到了弗罗里达州蓬塔戈达(Punta Gorda)的风暴准备住宅，安装了抗飓风前门。梅赛德斯住宅公司的杰西·冈萨雷斯(Jesse Gonzalez)和鲍勃一起安装了一个超大的前门，侧面有抗冲击的lite。和家里的窗户一样，这扇门也安装了一个预铸的门唇，这样它就可以在暴风雨中抵御风吹进来。窗台和添加的混凝土边缘也有助于在暴风雨期间防止水渗入。这扇门的不同寻常之处在于它会向外摆动，这一特点有助于在强风的压力下保持它和房屋外壳的完整性。鲍勃与电工何塞·罗德里格斯(Jose Rodriguez)一起，在这座为风暴做好准备的房子里，为金属框架安装电线。罗德里格斯使用带有塑料法兰的塑料盒来容纳电线。罗德里格斯还附加了一个保护钉板在电线上，它穿过了毛条。然后，电线被绑在螺栓上，并运行到他们连接的盒子。Bob回顾了对PGT窗户工厂的参观，在那里为暴风雨做好准备的房子制作和测试抗冲击窗户。 He reviews the violent impact testing they undergo and how they are laminated with DuPont Buticite in between the layers of glass to prevent a puncture or penetration that could lead to total building failure. The heavy slider panels are installed and adjusted to make a solid, secure, and smooth sliding door set. Bob joins Dan Gerry from Tranquility Plumbing as they punch holes in the metal studs for the CPVC tubing that will carry the hot and cold water through the house. Gerry admits that it is somewhat easier to install plumbing in metal studs, because it's faster to punch out the metal than to drill standard wood framing. Gerry also describes how drains, waste pipes, and flow pipes were set before the slab was poured. The CPVC pipe runs through the punched holes and is fitted with pipe tights to protect the pipe from puncture and eliminate noise from vibrating pipes against metal studs. Bob watches as a sink tie-in is cut, fitted, and installed with adhesive.
