Ever wonder how to attractively balance round objects on top of each other? Dean and Derek have the answer to this age old question when they tackle a garden retaining wall with a mixture of round fieldstones in Cohasset, Mass. to give the wall a true New England style dry stack look. Dean and Derek select a mixture of stone that will ensure a beautiful finished project. Then they build the wall while emphasizing tight, consistent joints — no easy feat when the stones range in size from basketballs to baseballs and have no flat edges. The end result is one that gardeners and backyard aficionados everywhere will be eager to call their own.

Seattle residents Marian and Betsy decide to design and build a prefab yurt weekend retreat — a modern adaptation of the ancient tent-like shelter used by Central Asian nomads — on Whidbey Island. A team of experts at the factory in Oregon precut, stain and insulate the couple's kit to be ready for assembly. Then, Marian and Betsy are joined by friends to build their yurt in only a week's time. There is also a tour of the finished yurt home to find out how it all came together.
