Kevin: Today on
"This Old House,"

2
00:00:02,766 --> 00:00:04,233
we are going to install
a new composite deck

3
00:00:04,300 --> 00:00:07,033
with the help
from a familiar face.

Jenn: I'm here at a local
landscape design build

00:00:09,266 --> 00:00:12,033
garden center that's helped
Rachel bring the vision

6
00:00:12,100 --> 00:00:13,800
for her front yard to life.

7
00:00:13,866 --> 00:00:16,566
Kevin: And we're creating
shelter from the storms

8
00:00:16,633 --> 00:00:19,033

Welcome back to "This Old House"

16
00:00:54,233 --> 00:00:56,200
and our project here
in Nashville, Tennessee,

17
00:00:56,266 --> 00:00:59,366
one of the fastest
growing cities in the U.S.

18
00:00:59,433 --> 00:01:03,466
Nashville has grown
a staggering 81%

19
00:01:03,533 --> 00:01:05,866
over the last three decades
or so.

20
00:01:05,933 --> 00:01:07,933
And like so many
of the city's residents,

21
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,966
our homeowners are transplants

22
00:01:10,033 --> 00:01:12,033
who came here
for the quality of life

23
00:01:12,100 --> 00:01:14,366
and the culture
that this city provides.

24
00:01:14,433 --> 00:01:17,300
Now, they're also working on
this beautiful gem right here,

25
00:01:17,366 --> 00:01:19,833
renovating it for themselves
and their two children.

26
00:01:19,900 --> 00:01:22,000
And they are here to stay.

27
00:01:22,066 --> 00:01:24,900
So the project is entering
the final stages.

28
00:01:24,966 --> 00:01:26,766
Let me show you some
of the progress that we've made.

29
00:01:26,833 --> 00:01:29,366
Out front,
the colors have been chosen.

30
00:01:29,433 --> 00:01:31,733
So we've got a dark gray
for the trim

31
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,500
and then a lighter gray
for the siding,

32
00:01:35,566 --> 00:01:38,566
which is pretty much
just this corner of the house.

33
00:01:38,633 --> 00:01:41,800
We've got a new poured
concrete walkway here in front,

34
00:01:41,866 --> 00:01:43,966
and as you can see,
still quite a bit of work

35
00:01:44,033 --> 00:01:46,900
to do on the landscaping
out front as well as out back.

36
00:01:46,966 --> 00:01:48,900
But don't worry.

37
00:01:48,966 --> 00:01:50,800
Jenn and our homeowner Rachel
are working on a plan for that.

38
00:01:50,866 --> 00:01:53,166
The concrete continues
up to two new steps

39
00:01:53,233 --> 00:01:54,566
to a new concrete stoop,

40
00:01:54,633 --> 00:01:57,166
which will lead you
right inside.

41
00:01:57,233 --> 00:01:58,600
To come through the front door,

42
00:01:58,666 --> 00:02:01,700
it drops you into the
living room center of the house.

43
00:02:01,766 --> 00:02:03,566
A pretty generous room
right here.

44
00:02:03,633 --> 00:02:06,000
Over on this wall,
we had the existing fireplace,

45
00:02:06,066 --> 00:02:07,700
which we were
pretty much going to leave

46
00:02:07,766 --> 00:02:09,700
as is with some updates
to the wood trim,

47
00:02:09,766 --> 00:02:13,033
but we found some structural
issues as they got to work.

48
00:02:13,100 --> 00:02:14,866
So now the mason
is rebuilding all of this.

49
00:02:14,933 --> 00:02:17,600
So as I say,
a generous room right here

50
00:02:17,666 --> 00:02:19,333
and on the opposite wall
of the brick,

51
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,733
this is going to be
the music room in here.

52
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,100
This opening is going to have
these doors.

53
00:02:24,166 --> 00:02:26,166
They were there.
They were painted.

54
00:02:26,233 --> 00:02:27,766
Our homeowners are
stripping them.

55
00:02:27,833 --> 00:02:29,633
They're going to go with
a natural wood look,

56
00:02:29,700 --> 00:02:31,433
rehang them and try
to isolate some of the sound

57
00:02:31,500 --> 00:02:34,566
from the music room
and the rest of the house.

58
00:02:34,633 --> 00:02:36,433
Looks like they are
thinking about some paint colors

59
00:02:36,500 --> 00:02:38,033
on the interior -- gray --

60
00:02:38,100 --> 00:02:40,433
and keeping with that same style
outside.

61
00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:42,133
As you walk through here,

62
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,033
big, wide-open space
and a new kitchen.

63
00:02:44,100 --> 00:02:46,433
And I don't know
if you remember how small

64
00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:48,466
and cramped
that old kitchen was,

65
00:02:48,533 --> 00:02:51,266
but this is a big improvement.

66
00:02:51,333 --> 00:02:53,233
Starts with a center island
right here.

67
00:02:53,300 --> 00:02:55,066
There'll be a piece of stone
that overhangs

68
00:02:55,133 --> 00:02:57,133
and to support it, two legs.

69
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,000
These are actually the old
cedar posts from the basement.

70
00:03:01,066 --> 00:03:04,866
And Tommy and Adam laid hands
on these to make them tapered.

71
00:03:04,933 --> 00:03:06,300
There'll be two of those

72
00:03:06,366 --> 00:03:08,033
to support that piece
of stone right there.

73
00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:10,800
The layout is
a refrigerator right here,

74
00:03:10,866 --> 00:03:13,466
flanked by black oak cabinets.

75
00:03:13,533 --> 00:03:16,333
And then behind the guys who
are templating for the stone,

76
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,300
we're going to have
the stove there,

77
00:03:18,366 --> 00:03:22,066
obviously the hood and the sink
right here in the island.

78
00:03:22,133 --> 00:03:24,766
And then these wrap around,
more counter space.

79
00:03:24,833 --> 00:03:27,866
You can see here these are
shallow-depth cabinets.

80
00:03:27,933 --> 00:03:29,633
They're going to be left open.

81
00:03:29,700 --> 00:03:31,433
And what's nice about this

82
00:03:31,500 --> 00:03:33,466
is going to allow you to get
close to operate this pop-up

83
00:03:33,533 --> 00:03:36,333
window, which is a really nice
feature to the outside.

84
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,566
The stone is going to be
soapstone on the island,

85
00:03:39,633 --> 00:03:42,533
the counters, and also a piece
that runs up the wall

86
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,500
behind the stove right there.

87
00:03:44,566 --> 00:03:47,766
For everything else, they've
actually chosen wallpaper.

88
00:03:47,833 --> 00:03:49,500
And so that's going to go here.

89
00:03:49,566 --> 00:03:51,933
But there is a lot of tile
in this house,

90
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,700
two full bathrooms upstairs.

91
00:03:53,766 --> 00:03:55,733
Those have all been
waterproofed.

92
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,833
The tile has been laid down
on the floors and the walls.

93
00:03:57,900 --> 00:03:59,900
It is grouted and that is done.

94
00:03:59,966 --> 00:04:02,000
The space is wide open
to the backyard

95
00:04:02,066 --> 00:04:04,233
through double sliders
right here out to a back deck.

96
00:04:04,300 --> 00:04:06,000
Javi, how are you?
Javier: Kevin, good, and you?

97
00:04:06,066 --> 00:04:08,100
Kevin: I'm doing very well.
Oh, Zack, look at you.

98
00:04:08,166 --> 00:04:09,500
Zack: Hey, Kevin.
Kevin: Welcome to Nashville.

99
00:04:09,566 --> 00:04:10,900
I knew you were coming down.

100
00:04:10,966 --> 00:04:12,133
I didn't think you'd get
here this early.

101
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,366
And you obviously started
throwing in.

102
00:04:13,433 --> 00:04:15,466
You got a helper.
Javier: Excellente.

103
00:04:15,533 --> 00:04:17,200
Kevin: You've also got a guy
with the know, right?

104
00:04:17,266 --> 00:04:18,666
Because we're using
something you used in Jersey.

105
00:04:18,733 --> 00:04:20,500
Zack: Yeah. We're going to use
this same porch flooring

106
00:04:20,566 --> 00:04:22,133
that we used
on the last project.

107
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,166
Basically a solid PVC.

108
00:04:24,233 --> 00:04:26,800
They're never going to rot out
and need to be replaced.

109
00:04:26,866 --> 00:04:28,666
When you look up
from the bottom of this,

110
00:04:28,733 --> 00:04:30,200
it'll look nice and consistent,

111
00:04:30,266 --> 00:04:31,933
and there won't be any debris
that falls through.

112
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,033
Kevin: Because it's tongue
and groove.

113
00:04:33,100 --> 00:04:34,633
Zack: Exactly. Yeah.
Kevin: Okay.

114
00:04:34,700 --> 00:04:36,100
So have you got
a plan for installation?

115
00:04:36,166 --> 00:04:37,366
Javier: Yes, sir.
Kevin: What are you doing?

116
00:04:37,433 --> 00:04:38,766
Javier: Let me show you.
Kevin: I see you guys

117
00:04:38,833 --> 00:04:41,900
got some cut boards already
rough laid down here.

118
00:04:41,966 --> 00:04:44,300
You're running from the house
out.

119
00:04:44,366 --> 00:04:46,100
Tommy's going to be proud.
You're not going to have to

120
00:04:46,166 --> 00:04:47,966
listen to
the old man yell at you.

121
00:04:48,033 --> 00:04:49,166
Javier: One of the reasons
that we're doing it,

122
00:04:49,233 --> 00:04:50,733
obviously, the house is
pretty old,

123
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,600
and we might have
different measurements,

124
00:04:52,666 --> 00:04:54,533
so we're going to cut
them all the same length.

125
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,700
Pop a straight line
from left to right,

126
00:04:56,766 --> 00:04:58,433
come back,
cut it with a straight edge,

127
00:04:58,500 --> 00:05:00,100
and we're going to use this 1x6.

128
00:05:00,166 --> 00:05:01,333
Kevin: Oh.
Javier: For the picture frame.

129
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:02,300
Kevin: You're going to do
a picture frame?

130
00:05:02,366 --> 00:05:04,100
So let me see if I got this.

131
00:05:04,166 --> 00:05:06,100
You're going to put
this basically out there.

132
00:05:06,166 --> 00:05:07,466
Javier: That's correct.
Kevin: And then all of these are

133
00:05:07,533 --> 00:05:08,900
going to terminate right
into that.

134
00:05:08,966 --> 00:05:10,900
Javier: Yes, sir.
Kevin: Very nice.

135
00:05:10,966 --> 00:05:13,333
So that'll be outside edge
and then returns on the sides?

136
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,700
Javier: That is correct.
Kevin: Miter 45?

137
00:05:14,766 --> 00:05:16,233
Javier: Correct. And then
we also have

138
00:05:16,300 --> 00:05:18,233
a 5/8 drop from front to back.

139
00:05:18,300 --> 00:05:19,900
That way if water ever came
this way, we have --

140
00:05:19,966 --> 00:05:21,466
Kevin: Shuts it off.
Javier: Shuts it right off.

141
00:05:21,533 --> 00:05:23,200
Kevin: Alright.
Well, what can I do to help?

142
00:05:23,266 --> 00:05:25,033
Javier: You can start cutting
some boards for us.

143
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,600
Zack: We're going to start
by using one of these screws

144
00:05:30,666 --> 00:05:32,700
that actually comes with a plug.

145
00:05:32,766 --> 00:05:35,300
Because we can't hide a fastener
in the tongue on this edge.

146
00:05:35,366 --> 00:05:36,733
And you can see
on the tip of the gun,

147
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,666
it's got a little felt piece

148
00:05:38,733 --> 00:05:41,133
that allows you to set
the screw to the perfect depth

149
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,766
to receive the plug.

We're right downtown Nashville.

162
00:06:15,500 --> 00:06:17,966
And we're just here going over
the plans for Rachel so

163
00:06:18,033 --> 00:06:19,900
we can get an idea of what we're
going to be doing at their home.

164
00:06:19,966 --> 00:06:21,633
So, one of the
most important things

165
00:06:21,700 --> 00:06:23,666
that we were trying
to incorporate here

166
00:06:23,733 --> 00:06:26,133
for Rachel and Adam was this is
a really vibrant neighborhood.

167
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,533
Lots of people walking down
the sidewalk down the street,

168
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,466
and they wanted to make sure
that they had a space

169
00:06:30,533 --> 00:06:32,200
where they could feel
comfortable sitting out front,

170
00:06:32,266 --> 00:06:33,766
interacting with their neighbors

171
00:06:33,833 --> 00:06:34,900
and being a part
of the community.

172
00:06:34,966 --> 00:06:36,000
Jenn: Fantastic.
Max: So we created

173
00:06:36,066 --> 00:06:37,500
a little sitting area here.

174
00:06:37,566 --> 00:06:39,600
They could have some space there
just to hang out and relax.

175
00:06:39,666 --> 00:06:42,133
And we've created
a little evergreen hedge here

176
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:43,833
that they can kind of tuck
behind and see.

177
00:06:43,900 --> 00:06:45,466
Jenn: Yeah,
it's a little bit of privacy.

178
00:06:45,533 --> 00:06:47,333
You can slouch down
in your chair,

179
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:48,900
but then also just interact
with your neighbors.

180
00:06:48,966 --> 00:06:50,266
Max: That's right.
Jenn: And I love that you're

181
00:06:50,333 --> 00:06:52,300
repeating the same idea
with the same plants.

182
00:06:52,366 --> 00:06:54,133
So it gives that continuity.

183
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,766
Max: And then we added
some ornamental grasses here.

184
00:06:55,833 --> 00:06:57,833
You know, the wind blows
through those. You hear them.

185
00:06:57,900 --> 00:06:59,600
Jenn: You're evoking
all the senses. I love this.

186
00:06:59,666 --> 00:07:01,333
Max: We're trying, you know,

187
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:02,966
and we've repeated
that ornamental grass.

188
00:07:03,033 --> 00:07:05,266
And then we've got
a shade tree here out front.

189
00:07:05,333 --> 00:07:07,500
That'll all create a nice space

190
00:07:07,566 --> 00:07:09,400
for them to enjoy
throughout the summer heat.

191
00:07:09,466 --> 00:07:11,333
So we've got a great jumping-off
point here.

192
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,300
I'd love to see you guys walk
around the nursery,

193
00:07:13,366 --> 00:07:15,266
make some final decisions
for all these different plants.

194
00:07:15,333 --> 00:07:16,833
Jenn: Yeah, it's different
seeing them in person

195
00:07:16,900 --> 00:07:18,066
than a circle on a piece
of paper.

196
00:07:18,133 --> 00:07:19,433
Max: Yeah. Enjoy your time here.
Jenn: Let's go.

197
00:07:19,500 --> 00:07:20,833
Rachel: Thank you, Max.
Jenn: Yeah. This is great.

198
00:07:20,900 --> 00:07:22,300
Thank you. Appreciate it.

199
00:07:23,733 --> 00:07:25,533
Okay. Wait.
These are on your plan.

200
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,400
Let me show you.

201
00:07:27,466 --> 00:07:29,000
Here's the clethra
right here in the foundation.

202
00:07:29,066 --> 00:07:31,366
And then this is
where the azalea is.

203
00:07:31,433 --> 00:07:34,000
So this is going to bloom
for you in the spring.

204
00:07:34,066 --> 00:07:35,266
It's a beautiful pink azalea.

205
00:07:35,333 --> 00:07:36,466
It has a nice structure.

206
00:07:36,533 --> 00:07:38,300
It'll stay tight like this,

207
00:07:38,366 --> 00:07:40,300
but I'll still get
about this big by that wide.

208
00:07:40,366 --> 00:07:41,533
Rachel: Okay.
Jenn: Okay?

209
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,100
And then this one,
the clethra,

210
00:07:43,166 --> 00:07:44,733
otherwise known
as summersweet.

211
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,533
It has a very fragrant flower.

212
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,500
They either come in white
or pink.

213
00:07:48,566 --> 00:07:49,866
Rachel: I like these two a lot.

214
00:07:49,933 --> 00:07:51,600
I want to stick with them.
Jenn: Check.

215
00:07:51,666 --> 00:07:52,866
Rachel: Yep.
Jenn: Love it.

216
00:07:54,666 --> 00:07:58,033
Alright, so for
some more foundation plantings,

217
00:07:58,100 --> 00:08:02,700
the evergreen that's
on the right-hand side

218
00:08:02,766 --> 00:08:04,500
right here in this corner.
Rachel: Mm-hmm.

219
00:08:04,566 --> 00:08:06,300
Jenn: It's a Taylor juniper.

220
00:08:06,366 --> 00:08:07,900
So this is the Taylor juniper
that's there.

221
00:08:07,966 --> 00:08:10,500
It's a great plant
but for your space

222
00:08:10,566 --> 00:08:12,733
and then with the kids touching,
it's a little bit prickly.

223
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,333
So I think that this juniper
right here is a beautiful one.

224
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,200
It's called a Spartan juniper.

225
00:08:18,266 --> 00:08:21,333
It's just like softer texture,
that darker green.

226
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,133
And this one's going to stay
a little bit shorter.

227
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,300
And if you wanted to decorate
it, it'd be fun.

228
00:08:25,366 --> 00:08:27,533
Rachel:
One of my goals is to decorate
it like a Christmas tree.

229
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,100
So I think this is kind of
the right shape for that.

230
00:08:30,166 --> 00:08:32,266
Jenn: Great.
Maybe we call out to switch it.

231
00:08:32,333 --> 00:08:33,366
Rachel: Yeah.
Jenn: Okay.

232
00:08:33,433 --> 00:08:35,133
Rachel: Let's do it.
Jenn: Fantastic.

233
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:36,933
Alright. So, these are some
of the perennials

234
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,000
that are specked on the plan.

235
00:08:39,066 --> 00:08:42,200
Right here we have the
grasses that line the walkway

236
00:08:42,266 --> 00:08:44,033
and he repeats one over here.

237
00:08:44,100 --> 00:08:46,866
So this is called a panicum
grass, switchgrass.

238
00:08:46,933 --> 00:08:49,700
It's about four feet tall
with a plume at the top.

239
00:08:49,766 --> 00:08:53,366
It'll sway in the breeze.
It's a native grass as well.

240
00:08:53,433 --> 00:08:54,633
Do you like that one?
Rachel: I do.

241
00:08:54,700 --> 00:08:56,233
Jenn: Alright.
I think that'll work well.

242
00:08:56,300 --> 00:09:00,566
And then also in the front
foundation, we have salvia.

243
00:09:00,633 --> 00:09:03,366
It's a great plant.
It blooms twice a season.

244
00:09:03,433 --> 00:09:06,533
You deadhead them, other
little babies start to bloom.

245
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,200
So yeah, you could keep
the color

246
00:09:08,266 --> 00:09:09,700
going throughout the season.

247
00:09:09,766 --> 00:09:11,966
Rachel: I love purple, so.
Jenn: I know you love purple.

248
00:09:12,033 --> 00:09:13,766
So there's a couple other plants
I want to show you.

249
00:09:13,833 --> 00:09:18,600
So this is lavender.
I mean, hello, aromatic walkway.

250
00:09:18,666 --> 00:09:22,433
So I was thinking we could add
a few of these to the salvia.

251
00:09:22,500 --> 00:09:24,266
So maybe one of these

252
00:09:24,333 --> 00:09:27,200
on either end
to anchor salvia in the middle.

253
00:09:27,266 --> 00:09:30,266
And then this one is
called catmint or nepeta.

254
00:09:30,333 --> 00:09:32,866
I think you just need one
on either side as well

255
00:09:32,933 --> 00:09:34,766
because this gets pretty wide.

256
00:09:34,833 --> 00:09:36,800
Again, the more you deadhead it,
the more it'll bloom.

257
00:09:36,866 --> 00:09:38,200
Rachel: I love the plan.

258
00:09:38,266 --> 00:09:39,300
I like the tweaks we've made

259
00:09:39,366 --> 00:09:40,866
and I can't wait
to see it come to life.

260
00:09:40,933 --> 00:09:42,133
Jenn: I know. It's going to be
gorgeous.

261
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:49,466
♪♪

262
00:09:49,533 --> 00:09:51,433
Kevin: Have you ever noticed

263
00:09:51,500 --> 00:09:53,766
that there are very few
mature trees on this street?

264
00:09:53,833 --> 00:09:55,733
Well, that's for a reason.

265
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,333
Four years ago, a tornado
touched down

266
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,100
in this neighborhood
and ripped the path

267
00:10:00,166 --> 00:10:02,000
right down this street.

268
00:10:02,066 --> 00:10:04,633
It did some pretty significant
damage to the neighbors' homes.

269
00:10:04,700 --> 00:10:07,733
And fortunately, on ours, just
a little bit of roof damage

270
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,133
other than taking
down all of the trees.

271
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,033
Now, our homeowners,
with two small children,

272
00:10:12,100 --> 00:10:14,233
obviously want to keep
their family safe.

273
00:10:14,300 --> 00:10:15,866
So the plans for this renovation

274
00:10:15,933 --> 00:10:18,200
include a safe room
in the basement.

275
00:10:18,266 --> 00:10:19,566
The plans for that
have changed a little bit

276
00:10:19,633 --> 00:10:20,800
over the last few months,

277
00:10:20,866 --> 00:10:21,866
and I'll tell you about that
in a minute.

278
00:10:21,933 --> 00:10:23,300
But first, earlier,

279
00:10:23,366 --> 00:10:25,233
I had a chance
to talk to the head

280
00:10:25,300 --> 00:10:28,133
of the Tennessee Emergency
Management Agency to learn

281
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:32,033
what homeowners can do to keep
them safe from tornadoes.

282
00:10:32,100 --> 00:10:33,533
So, Patrick,
I've been doing some research.

283
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,866
I've been looking into the data.
And I saw that last year alone,

284
00:10:36,933 --> 00:10:39,866
40 tornadoes touching
down in Tennessee,

285
00:10:39,933 --> 00:10:42,466
according to the National
Weather Service, and half

286
00:10:42,533 --> 00:10:44,533
in the central part
where we are right now.

287
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,166
A lot, a little, a trend
that's happening?

288
00:10:47,233 --> 00:10:48,833
Like, how do you interpret that?

289
00:10:48,900 --> 00:10:50,333
Patrick: We're certainly seeing
a trend where

290
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,333
it's increasing, the number
of tornadoes that we're having.

291
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,033
I think that's about right
for Tennessee right now.

292
00:10:56,100 --> 00:10:57,666
And, you know, we're
certainly -- some of that's

293
00:10:57,733 --> 00:11:00,033
an artifice
of increased reporting.

294
00:11:00,100 --> 00:11:01,900
But no doubt empirically,

295
00:11:01,966 --> 00:11:04,966
we can observe we have
an increase in the amount

296
00:11:05,033 --> 00:11:07,100
of severe weather we're having,
including tornadoes.

297
00:11:07,166 --> 00:11:08,633
Most of them,
thankfully, are weak, right?

298
00:11:08,700 --> 00:11:12,133
So EF0, EF1,
in the woods somewhere.

299
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,133
But, you know, we still have
them where they're hitting

300
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,366
neighborhoods and businesses
and homes.

301
00:11:16,433 --> 00:11:18,900
Kevin: How much warning
do people have?

302
00:11:18,966 --> 00:11:21,466
Patrick: The National
Weather Service does a great job

303
00:11:21,533 --> 00:11:23,933
of giving people a heads-up
about watches,

304
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,733
which is, hey, the conditions
are right for tornadic activity,

305
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,533
for tornado damage.

306
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,966
And, you know,
in a warning that's happening

307
00:11:32,033 --> 00:11:34,333
when you see a hook echo
on a radar

308
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,200
or someone on the ground
observes one

309
00:11:36,266 --> 00:11:37,933
and reports to
the National Weather Service.

310
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,666
And so they'll generate
a warning and, you know,

311
00:11:39,733 --> 00:11:41,566
that comes across on our TV

312
00:11:41,633 --> 00:11:43,433
and a radio through
the Integrated Public Alert

313
00:11:43,500 --> 00:11:46,233
and Warning system.
You can have seconds or minutes.

314
00:11:46,300 --> 00:11:47,933
And so that's
why it's so important

315
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,166
when you do get a tornado
warning for

316
00:11:50,233 --> 00:11:52,733
wherever you're standing
that you act on it.

317
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,233
Kevin: Seconds or minutes
is not a lot of time.

318
00:11:54,300 --> 00:11:55,933
Patrick: It's not.

319
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,333
Kevin: I mean, we have
hurricanes where we are

320
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,233
and we see them coming for days,

321
00:11:59,300 --> 00:12:01,500
and it's kind of
a slow-moving disaster.

322
00:12:01,566 --> 00:12:03,533
But seconds or minutes,
that's terrifying.

323
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,333
Patrick: Yeah.
Kevin: What are people
doing when

324
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,000
that happens?
Patrick: When you see
the watches,

325
00:12:07,066 --> 00:12:09,033
and what my family
and I do is we go

326
00:12:09,100 --> 00:12:13,400
and set up our lowest level
interior windowless room

327
00:12:13,466 --> 00:12:15,366
so that we can hunker
down in the storm,

328
00:12:15,433 --> 00:12:19,266
so bike helmets, gloves,
boots, a blanket,

329
00:12:19,333 --> 00:12:21,200
cellphone charger,
and flashlights,

330
00:12:21,266 --> 00:12:22,766
prepping that space ahead
of time

331
00:12:22,833 --> 00:12:24,566
so that when you do get
a warning,

332
00:12:24,633 --> 00:12:26,466
you can just go and occupy it,

333
00:12:26,533 --> 00:12:28,300
and you're not wasting
time trying to gather things

334
00:12:28,366 --> 00:12:30,833
that you wish you had
when you're in there.

335
00:12:30,900 --> 00:12:33,333
Kevin: So when you prepare,
you said bike helmets,

336
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:34,966
gloves, boots, flashlights.

337
00:12:35,033 --> 00:12:36,733
Walk me through the thought
process of those types of things

338
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,166
that you're putting in
there with your family.

339
00:12:38,233 --> 00:12:40,666
Patrick: Anything to help
add layers of protection.

340
00:12:40,733 --> 00:12:42,366
You know, we know now
that wearing a bike helmet,

341
00:12:42,433 --> 00:12:44,100
anything, that margin
of protection

342
00:12:44,166 --> 00:12:46,666
just really helps a lot.
For the boots and gloves

343
00:12:46,733 --> 00:12:49,000
is if, you know, you're
unfortunate enough

344
00:12:49,066 --> 00:12:51,866
that your structure,
your home is damaged,

345
00:12:51,933 --> 00:12:53,600
then you're not putting yourself
at further risk

346
00:12:53,666 --> 00:12:55,433
as you emerge from
your safe space,

347
00:12:55,500 --> 00:12:57,500
you know, and potentially
a broken glass or nails

348
00:12:57,566 --> 00:12:59,133
or splinters

349
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:00,566
or other things that
you might have to worry about.

350
00:13:00,633 --> 00:13:02,233
So just increases the safety.

351
00:13:02,300 --> 00:13:04,000
And then a flashlight

352
00:13:04,066 --> 00:13:05,400
because chances are
the power is going to go out.

353
00:13:05,466 --> 00:13:08,266
And a cellphone charger
just because your cellphone

354
00:13:08,333 --> 00:13:10,100
is another method
for you to get warnings.

355
00:13:10,166 --> 00:13:11,666
So I would encourage people too

356
00:13:11,733 --> 00:13:13,533
to have multiple ways
to get warning.

357
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,166
A NOAA-certified weather
radio is an important thing

358
00:13:16,233 --> 00:13:18,333
to have in your toolkit to make
sure you can get warnings

359
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,100
if cellphone towers
or phone lines are damaged.

360
00:13:21,166 --> 00:13:22,600
Kevin: Your role as the head

361
00:13:22,666 --> 00:13:24,033
of the Tennessee
Emergency Management Agency

362
00:13:24,100 --> 00:13:25,900
is what? What are you doing?

363
00:13:25,966 --> 00:13:27,333
Patrick: We're trying to make
sure that people are prepared

364
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:28,733
and not scared,

365
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,800
but that they know
what actions they can take

366
00:13:30,866 --> 00:13:35,133
and are given sufficient time
and warning to act on them.

367
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,066
Kevin: We appreciate that
and we appreciate what you do.

368
00:13:37,133 --> 00:13:38,333
Thanks, Patrick. Appreciate it.
Patrick: Thanks so much.

♪♪

370
00:13:46,700 --> 00:13:48,466
Kevin: Hey, Adam, Lyn,
how are you guys?

371
00:13:48,533 --> 00:13:50,733
Lyn: Hi, Kevin. How are you?
Kevin: Wow.

372
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,233
Some nice progress made
on this thing here.

373
00:13:53,300 --> 00:13:56,400
So, Adam, can you help us out
with the change in plan here?

374
00:13:56,466 --> 00:13:58,233
What happened?

375
00:13:58,300 --> 00:14:00,266
Because originally, the safe
room was this whole big room.

376
00:14:00,333 --> 00:14:02,800
Adam: The plan originally was to
take up all four concrete walls

377
00:14:02,866 --> 00:14:05,133
and build the safe-room lid
on top of that.

378
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,533
But when we were figuring out
how to construct it,

379
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:08,833
we came up with a couple
of problems

380
00:14:08,900 --> 00:14:10,300
that we had to work around.

381
00:14:10,366 --> 00:14:13,333
No matter what kind of safe-room
lid we were going to use,

382
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,066
you need to access it
from the top

383
00:14:15,133 --> 00:14:16,866
to be able to get it
down into the structure.

384
00:14:16,933 --> 00:14:18,300
And if we go all the way
to the ceiling,

385
00:14:18,366 --> 00:14:20,033
there's no room to get to it.
Kevin: Yes.

386
00:14:20,100 --> 00:14:22,266
Adam: Another problem was
the existing HVAC system

387
00:14:22,333 --> 00:14:25,500
that both services this room
and the office above it.

388
00:14:25,566 --> 00:14:27,933
This was -- Building the room
all the way to the ceiling

389
00:14:28,033 --> 00:14:29,566
was going to affect
how that happens.

390
00:14:29,633 --> 00:14:31,100
So we came up with
this solution,

391
00:14:31,166 --> 00:14:33,300
basically a room within a room.

392
00:14:33,366 --> 00:14:34,866
Kevin: Alright. Happens a lot
in renovations.

393
00:14:34,933 --> 00:14:37,500
Change of plans midway.
Alright.

394
00:14:37,566 --> 00:14:41,433
So that's the room in the room.
What is going on with this?

395
00:14:41,500 --> 00:14:42,866
Can you walk me
through the materials?

396
00:14:42,933 --> 00:14:44,466
What is that?
Lyn: Absolutely.

397
00:14:44,533 --> 00:14:47,400
This is 14-gauge
stainless-steel panels.

398
00:14:47,466 --> 00:14:48,833
Kevin: Okay.
Lyn: These are recommended

399
00:14:48,900 --> 00:14:50,333
in the FEMA drawings

400
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,866
as the first layer on your walls
and your roof.

401
00:14:52,933 --> 00:14:54,266
Kevin: And what do we love
about this?

402
00:14:54,333 --> 00:14:55,900
Lyn: We love about this

403
00:14:55,966 --> 00:14:58,666
because it has a 90,000-pound
tensile strength

404
00:14:58,733 --> 00:15:00,600
and a 40,000-pound
yield strength.

405
00:15:00,666 --> 00:15:04,866
So it's perfect to clad
the wall with and the roof with

406
00:15:04,933 --> 00:15:06,333
to prevent anything
from penetrating.

407
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:07,733
Kevin: Oh, okay.

408
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,066
So I'm seeing a sandwich there,

409
00:15:09,133 --> 00:15:10,700
or I'm seeing a layer of steel

410
00:15:10,766 --> 00:15:12,000
and then two layers
of sheathing?

411
00:15:12,066 --> 00:15:13,833
Lyn: That's right.
Two layers of 3/4 inch and

412
00:15:13,900 --> 00:15:16,000
each one screwed independently
to the one below it.

413
00:15:16,066 --> 00:15:17,900
Kevin: That's the lid.
Lyn: Mm-hmm.

414
00:15:17,966 --> 00:15:20,000
Kevin: So this is part of
the process of making this room

415
00:15:20,066 --> 00:15:22,666
within the room as strong
as four concrete walls.

416
00:15:22,733 --> 00:15:25,433
Lyn: Exactly.
We referenced the FEMA website,

417
00:15:25,500 --> 00:15:28,533
which had drawings for different
applications that you could use,

418
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,433
whether it be
concrete, block, or wood.

419
00:15:30,500 --> 00:15:32,800
And we have a hybrid
of all of those three things.

420
00:15:32,866 --> 00:15:37,533
So our challenge here was to
build the lid and this wall

421
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,400
to FEMA standards, which we have
been doing.

422
00:15:39,466 --> 00:15:41,333
Kevin: So they spec the wall?
Lyn: Correct, yes.

423
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,100
It's like conventional
construction

424
00:15:43,166 --> 00:15:44,533
but a little bit different.

425
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,566
We have double-bottom plates,
we have double studs.

426
00:15:46,633 --> 00:15:48,466
And instead of 16 inches
on center,

427
00:15:48,533 --> 00:15:49,933
we've got everything at
12 inches

428
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,000
on center, double-top plate
and double-ceiling joist.

429
00:15:53,066 --> 00:15:54,733
Kevin: So a boatload of lumber

430
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,100
and then obviously fasteners
that you've got.

431
00:15:57,166 --> 00:15:59,433
Lyn: Yeah, there's about a half
a dozen fasteners that we use.

432
00:15:59,500 --> 00:16:02,366
We've got some samples over here
if you'd like to check them out.

433
00:16:02,433 --> 00:16:04,133
They look like a lot
of fasteners

434
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,433
people might be familiar with,

435
00:16:05,500 --> 00:16:07,333
but they're not easily

436
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,400
or readily available
at your local hardware store.

437
00:16:09,466 --> 00:16:11,133
We source these
from a distributor

438
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,033
that specializes in these.

439
00:16:13,100 --> 00:16:14,766
Kevin: We've done sort of
continuous load path before.

440
00:16:14,833 --> 00:16:16,500
I'm looking at it right there.

441
00:16:16,566 --> 00:16:19,133
The bolt ties your frame
into the concrete floor.

442
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:20,933
Lyn: That's right.

443
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,633
Kevin: This beautiful thing
right here is doing what?

444
00:16:22,700 --> 00:16:25,433
Lyn: That is tying our lid
to our wall studs.

445
00:16:25,500 --> 00:16:27,733
Kevin: Okay. So what have you
specced for the new doors?

446
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,100
Are they going to be similar
to what you'd expect

447
00:16:29,166 --> 00:16:31,233
for the door out here?
Lyn: Yes, sir.

448
00:16:31,300 --> 00:16:32,233
We'll have the same
steel door and frame

449
00:16:32,300 --> 00:16:33,700
and we'll put it in this hole

450
00:16:33,766 --> 00:16:35,166
and we'll wrap this wall
with it.

451
00:16:35,233 --> 00:16:38,766
Kevin: Beautiful. Will the metal
be the exterior sheathing?

452
00:16:38,833 --> 00:16:41,166
Lyn: No, we have another layer
of three-quarter to go here,

453
00:16:41,233 --> 00:16:43,333
and then another layer
of three-quarter to go here.

454
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,466
Everything's screwed
six inches on center.

455
00:16:45,533 --> 00:16:48,733
And then finally we have
a third layer

456
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,133
that goes on the inside of.
Kevin: Love it.

457
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:52,766
Lyn: We have it already
installed in the lid,

458
00:16:52,833 --> 00:16:54,266
but we haven't put it
on the inside.

459

One is a dead pin

But it's very important
that you realize

554

these old hinges probably have
some lead paint on them.

555
00:20:01,900 --> 00:20:04,066
So you want to make
sure you cover your hands

and wear a good respirator
when you're doing them.
