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.
