Meet Patty Eastman, an architect who is building a 21st century Monticello, using materials and technologies that she believes Jefferson would have used. In our second segment, see how Prep & Detail University is giving people the chance to learn the art and craft of finishing a house. Our mystery house is the Leu House in Orlando, built on land acquired through Florida's Internal Improvement Act of 1855. Then, learn how today's craftsmen are perfecting the art of rounding wood, from S-shapes to arches, from windows to moldings, from oak to ash. Finally, learn about charity playhouses built by southern California builders and find out what their dream playhouse looks like.
