The wild bunch? Robert, Joe, John, Nate, Brandon, Dave, Slim, Steve, and Jordan.
Nate lines the window jams with moisture resistant flashing tape.
Joe screws off the impact glass windows with stainless steel hex head screws. Laminated impact glass protects your home from hurricane damage, intrusion, and it's a lot quieter inside.

Willie pours the roof on the safe room. Note the steel reinforcement bars. This safe room is engineered to withstand 250 mph winds and 100 mph misslie impacts. The house can completely collapse around the safe room and the occupants will be protected.
Concrete is poured into the hopper of a line pump, then it's pumped through a hose up to Willie who directs the concrete down into the walls and roof. This safe room is engineered to withstand 250 mph winds and 100 mph missile impacts. The house can completely collapse around the safe room and the occupants will be protected.
Laying up block in the safe room. In this case the safe room is also the master closet. Steel bars will be placed inside the block cells and then poured solid with concrete.
Joe is pretty happy about this pre insulated Tee. If you add up all the exterior tees, corners, and window headers that normally are not insulated in a code built home it amounts to about 2 full rolls of insulation on a 2000 sf home. Imagine removing 2 rolls of insulation from your walls and how that would affect your utility bill and comfort level of your home.
