Dean and Derek have worked with many of the products on the market and are convinced that you can't install an attractive cobble stone project without hours of backbreaking work. Join them as they collaborate with Orlando, Fla.-based Cobble Systems and learn that you don't have to trade style for ease of labor. They use a system of cast cobble stones attached to a grid backing to complete a driveway project that is not only distinct, but durable and easy to install. They also show how to level and prepare ground for driveways and patio installations and how to design creative and practical projects. In the end, will Dean and Derek find that these Cobble Systems are too good to be true?

Habitat for Humanity grants a new lease on life to one family devastated by Hurricane Katrina. Operation Home Delivery started with a thousand volunteers constructing prefab walls on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Now those walls are a home shell for the Carrington family in Louisiana. It doesn't stop there. Crew leader Jillian Gross has only five more days to lead a team of volunteers in a "blitz build" so that the family can move in.
