This is Turtle.

Get water treated Plywood and wetting it will make no difference in the future.
It will be wet when you buy it and just wait till it drys some before putting it
up.

Some one here said about closing window too tight and not letting the window
imploding , then cause roof to come off. This is very much true and don't
succure the plywood covers with too thick of plywood like 7/8" plywood or
imploding will take the roof off and you with it. There is alway about 3 to 300
tornados that come with a Hurrican and Imploding will happen when any of these
hit your home. Windows can be replace fair easily but putting the roof back on a
home is a big cost.

The window will go or the Roof. the choice is yours.

Question: what's the concept? To allow the window (behind
the plywood, at 4 or so inches?) to "go" pretty easily,
so that any pressure difference can quickly equalize between
inside the house and outside the window, or in front
of the plywood?

(Assuming the wind, etc, can whip around behind the
plywood, mounted *away* from the window?)

Putting up the plywood, and just leaving the window open?

Doors to the outside -- what about them?

Thanks

PS: what about picture-windows, or sliding glass-doors --
what to do about them?
