Elmwood的第三个项目围绕着一个遮阳棚和热水浴缸，在附近的一个折衷的家庭，通常被称为“城堡”或“鬼屋”。
业主Peter Karczmar和Cathy Lund与修复承包商Joe Wagner合作。乔在阳光房做了大量的工作来加固上面的甲板，所以它可以支撑一个热水浴缸。(此外，Forester Moulding还制作了甲板原始栏杆的复制品)。

鲍勃来到第三个埃尔姆伍德项目的房子，观看甲板上覆盖着橡胶和安装热水浴缸。暖房/阳光房已经用LVL梁进行了重组，以承载热水浴缸的负荷，托梁已经用胶合板覆盖。
为了在甲板上覆盖橡胶，工人们首先用纤维板隔热板，然后用锚板和螺丝固定住。然后将一种接触水泥滚到面板和橡胶屋顶材料的底部。
胶水凝固后，将橡胶顶层滚过底层，速度要慢，以免产生气泡。这是一个完全粘接的屋顶，所有材料都用胶水粘住。
现在，屋顶已经准备好接受热水浴缸了，它正被起重机吊起来，由Thermo Spas的工作人员放在屋顶上。这些热水浴缸是根据设计师和客户的需求定制的，除了安装所需的布线外，它们是完全独立的单元。
鲍勃·维拉:温室的屋顶已经用lvl进行了重组，以承载热水浴缸的负荷。新的托梁已经覆盖了3 / 4英寸的舌和槽胶合板护套。接下来，承包商乔·瓦格纳用半英寸长的纤维板隔热板覆盖屋顶，这些隔热板经过特殊处理，可以接受橡胶屋顶的胶水。这些面板用锚板和螺丝固定。然后将一种接触水泥滚到绝缘板上。水泥也应用于橡胶屋面材料的底面。胶水凝固后，将橡胶顶层非常小心地滚过底层。这个过程非常缓慢，以防止气泡和皱纹形成。这是一个完全粘接的屋顶，橡胶材料用胶水粘住了所有地方。接触水泥是非常无情的。 You really only get one chance at this. Finally, the roof is covered. We're ready for the hot tub. This is going to be a tricky operation. A crane is being used to lift the hot tub in its packing crate onto the conservatory roof. The ThermoSpa is rapidly approaching your house, Dr. Peter Karczmar. This is the first time we've met you on the show. How do you feel about getting the hot tub delivered onto your new porch roof? Dr. Peter Karczmar: Well, this is extremely exciting. Right now, what I'm really worried about is how the ThermoSpa is going to clear that tree. I really hope the structural engineer got the calculations just right because it's a lot of weight that's going up there. Bob: It is a lot of weight. I think that it's something like 100 pounds per square foot in terms of the live load, and that will add up to something like a ton and a half. They've done a heck of a job of restructuring that roof, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Peter: They really did an amazing job, and I think it's going to be a beautiful product at the end. Bob: I just don't recommend any block parties. Peter: OK. Bob: Andy Tournas is here from ThermoSpas. Andy, why not uncrate the thing on the ground, and then bring it up here. Andy Tournas: Well, primarily because we're doing a crane operation. We do about 8 to 10 percent of them as a crane. That's where we send somebody out to the house to do a proper site inspection. We always recommend that, with whatever hot tub that you buy. You want to really protect it as much as possible prior to lifting it up, and putting it on a deck. Bob: Now, you guys refer to these as really being custom. Andy: Yeah. Basically what Dell is to the computer industry, we are to the hot tub industry. We sell direct to the consumer, and then we custom them to fit the consumer's needs. Bob: Got you. Well, here come the wraps. Boy, you do quite a job of packing the thing, don't you? Andy: We do. We don't want damage. Bob: The beauty of these spas is that they're totally self‑contained except for the wiring, right? Andy: That's right. You need a 220 volt, 60‑amp line for this particular ThermoSpa hot tub. Bob: This has already been brought through the bottom there. Andy: That's correct. They've kind of positioned it. One of the advantages of the way that they insulate is the fact that its open interior allows you to be able to sneak it in at any position that you're putting that wire. The type of insulation that we use is a blanketed insulation which is quite different than what the rest of the industry does. They use more of a full foam which is adequate for insulation value, but it prevents the serviceability. This gives you same insulation with the serviceability. Bob: The crew is just finishing up the connections on the control panel before we unwrap the hot tub. How much does that weigh, Andy, without any water in it? Andy: Close to 1,000 pounds. Bob: Three guys are gingerly letting it back down. Now, can we remove the plastic cover? All right. The moment we've been waiting for. What do you think, Peter? Peter: Beautiful. Bob: Go get the hose. Peter: Yeah. Look at that. It's gorgeous. Bob: What do you call this finish? Andy: This is a Lucite XL finish, and it has a micro‑ban anti‑bacterial inhibitor built right into it. Bob: Wow! Now, I don't think I've ever looked at an empty one of these. I don't think I can count that high in terms of how many jets and bubbles and little gadgets are in here. Tell us more. Andy: This is quite a few. The typical hot tub would have anywhere between 10, 15, 20 jets. This one has 56 jets in it. It has a total of four pumps. Three water pumps and one air pump. The unique part about this is that we have a process that ThermoSpa calls Total Control Therapy. Each seat can be independently operated so that you've got independent controls. That button right there would control that therapy seat. Bob: You can have four individuals in the hot tub and each person is getting a different type of hydro therapy. Andy: Yeah, nobody dictates the other one what to do. Bob: Sign me up. Andy: OK. Bob: Let's get the hose. - 第3部分:在热浴盆甲板上安装栏杆

社区建设的主题在历史悠久的埃尔姆伍德社区普罗维登斯，罗德岛，是这个项目的重点。鲍勃·维拉(Bob Vila)正在帮助11位邻居解决较小的项目，如门廊、厨房、浴室，甚至是三楼的艺术家工作室。
