Product Ideas

Get ready for another wild road trip across America! This one starts in Crete, Ill., with a whirly wonderland of formed concrete. From there it's on to the Vegas strip and a look at the wacky home of comedian and magician "The Amazing Johnathan." Then, an architecture student in rural Kentucky builds his parents their dream home, based on his somewhat wacky ideas that included using corrugated metal and wavy walls of solid cement. Finally, we find out why a Missouri fireman has a 50-foot, four-ton fire truck inside his home, and then we check out a home on the sunny coast of California that's more igloo than beach house.
