Host Steve Thomas helps a Falls Church, VA, couple build their home out of mud bricks. Steve is skeptical since the materials are dirt cheap, but how strong can the bricks really be?

He puts his money where his mud is with a highly scientific endurance test: running them over with a truck! Later, Steve will join a father/son team as they restore their San Antonio, TX, home to the highest green standards. Then, Steve checks out the tiniest homes in Texas—all made from recycled materials!
