Funky Phone Couple and More

Episode HOBA-507

The road trip for this episode kicks off in Florida, where we meet a man who has turned Howard Hughes' treasure into his floating home. Next, we visit the California home of Peter Crompton and Robyn Spencer-Crompton that includes an enchanted garden resembling the ones in Greece. Then we head to the Utah desert to meet a couple who has built their home on a cliff overhang. A ladder is used to climb up to the 12-foot-high front door. From there it's on to Fire Island, N.Y., where a screen-savvy couple has transformed their home into a bug-free zone and then to Indiana couple to meet a couple with a fetish for phones of all sorts. We wrap in Ohio, where we check out a man who has made all of his own home's furniture from metal.
