Today, Steve will help a Boulder, CO family fulfill their dream of an "Ahimsa Platz," or non-harm home, by installing a Faraday cage to block out electromagnetic waves. He'll also help the family install a recycled hot tub that runs on solar power.
Then, Steve helps the next generation of craftsmen learn a green collar job by deconstructing an old farmhouse in Fort Collins, CO.
Later, Steve works on a wine cellar insulated with denim and a fitness room that's powered in part by an exercise bike.
