READ MORE ABOUT:
Host Steve Thomas helps a car restoration enthusiast and his wife build a garage using all-natural insulator-straw! Then, Steve helps revitalize a Detroit, MI, community by constructing the first eco-smart modular home in the neighborhood. Since it's built in a factory to reduce waste, all Steve and the crew need to do is crane it into place, secure the two halves together and the homeowners are almost ready to move in.
Later, Steve will help install a century-old wood-burning stove in an 1871 former schoolhouse.
