Transcript
Let's get our brand new house hurricane ready. We closed literally a week ago, so all of our outside stuff is still sitting on the porch. Let's move it in. It's only supposed to be fingertip tight, but I just did my nails, so my fingertips are useless. A ratcheting screwdriver is literally the best investment you will ever make. Let's go to the other windows. All right, we just finished getting the rest of the house all boarded up. It's already a little windy out here. We'll see what tomorrow adds to bring for us.
