The Acton House - 17
Our host arrives to find installer Michael Griffiths laying out a carpet for the master suite. It's made of recycled soda bottles.

Homeowner Terry Maitland discusses with them his expenses for the project (around $190,000) and the amount of donated materials (around $120,000) - the target of $150,000 was exceeded because of all the unforseen work in the old part of the house. Steve meets interior designer Bill Reardon, who explains his approach to the project.
