The project is just underway and Mike is already two weeks behind schedule due to unforeseen problems.

Mike has only eight weeks to complete Gloria's new house before the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, but the relentless Louisiana heat is taking its toll on Mike's crew.

With the roof finally up, a small army of specialist get to work installing electrical wiring, plumbing and trim. The trick for Mike is to keep them out of each others way without starting a war.

The work on Gloria's house is nearing completion, but will Mike and his crew be able to finish before Hurricane Gustav hits? If the house isn't finished before then, it won't be hurricane-proof the way Mike designed it to be.

Once the finishing touches are done and the landscaping is completed, Mike presents Gloria with her new ecologically-friendly and hurricane-proof house.
