00:00Carl and Kate were inspired by the way fish scales have different shades of the same color

00:06and reflect the light.

00:07So you had to find a lot of silver cars.

00:10Yes.

00:11And the junkyard, there's like acres of them.

00:13The most I ever got was like 15 in a day.

00:17Once Carl hit the gas, there was no stopping him.

00:19Like this glass awning that came from Dodge minivans.

00:22They're the little windows that vent.

00:24Yeah.

00:25They kind of pop out and they have a little hardware on them that allowed me to attach

00:29them to these aluminum kind of rafter pieces.

00:33They're actually tempered glass and so they meet the building code.

00:37The couple was also mindful about blending their house into the neighborhood.

00:41It's only 14 feet wide with a roof that pitches forward.

00:44So it appears smaller than it really is.

00:47We kind of joke that when you walk in, it's kind of like walking into Harry Potter's tent

00:53where it's really small outside and then you walk in and it's big and open.

00:57So it's sort of a surprise.

00:59And they weren't kidding.

01:00This double-decker, three bedroom, two bathroom home is super spacious and cars aren't the

01:06only thing they repurposed.

01:09I'm really loving all this wood in here.

01:11Yeah.

01:12Tell me about it.

01:13This tree fell down on the property of a client we were working with.

01:18She used it in her house and then we bought whatever she didn't need.

01:23Yeah, here it is.

01:24It's perfect.

01:25Kate and Carl also repurposed leftover tan oak from another project to create the kitchen

01:29countertop, the stairs, and the floors on the second level.

01:33It's beautiful.

01:34It's beautiful.
