In the Garden Home Challenge, planning, design and craftsmanship converge when designer and lifestyle expert P. Allen Smith and his colleagues build an environmentally friendly designer home for $150,000 in 150 days on his Moss Mountain Farm in Arkansas.

Well thanks very much! I say we have to just accept that formaldehyde is used in building products, but we've ventilated the house properly and everything is up to code so we dont think the outgassing of formaldehyde should be a problem.

The house is going to be for my brother and sister-in-law. Good question!

What are you going to do with the house once its completed? Sell, or use for a special purpose?
