00:00Carl and Kate.

00:01Hey, Grundy.

00:02Hey, Grundy.

00:03How's it going?

00:04Good.

00:05It's going great.

00:06I'm loving the house.

00:07We'll meet you downstairs.

00:08You got it.

00:09All right.

00:10Wow.

00:11You guys came down really fast.

00:12Yeah, we're quick.

00:13Olympic fast.

00:14Well, we were so excited to meet you.

00:15Yeah.

00:16I like this.

00:17I like this.

00:18In the 90s, green architects Kate Ledger and her husband, Carl Wanasella, set out to build

00:26their 1,100-square-foot home with as many previously used items as possible.

00:31Although it was built with a standard wood frame, the siding is far from ordinary.

00:37Pretty much the entire outside is clad with salvaged materials.

00:41We have poplar bark on the first floor.

00:42That's from the furniture industry in North Carolina.

00:45They used the wood to make furniture, and then they didn't know what to do with the

00:48bark.

00:49And they figured out they could steam it flat and make it into siding.

00:53So the steaming kills the beetles and makes it flat, and we really like it a lot.

00:58But what makes Passersby really hit the brakes is the upper level that's clad in car parts.

01:04I grew up around cars, and I had to figure out a way to kind of reconcile this love for

01:10cars with a green approach to building.

01:14And I came up with this idea, well, why don't I try using car parts?

01:18So I actually went to the junkyard and cut the roofs out of 104 cars in order to use

01:26the sheet metal for the siding here on the whole upstairs.

01:30That's amazing.

01:32But come on.

01:33Kate couldn't have been on board with this wacky idea, right?

01:36100% on board.

01:39Totally.

01:40Totally.

01:41It's like it completely fits with my aesthetic and my values.

01:46I think it's just so great.

01:48I stand corrected.
