Exterior trim work continues during Habitat for Humanity's blitz build. Bob takes a closer look at LP soffit and trim materials. Lise LaFrance of the APA joins us again to talk about the medium density overlay plywood being used for the porch ceiling, which is being installed by a team of volunteers and celebrities. Bob's factory tour continues, this time focusing on the Simpson overlaid plywood mill in Shelton, Washington. Finally, Ryley joins us to install an energy efficient window out front and see what the rest of the volunteers are up to.
