Today's episode is all about how a disabled cancer survivor in her 60's built a sustainable, off-grid tiny house.

In a world of diminishing resources, Vera Struck has taken it as a moral imperative to reduce her footprint. So she set herself a challenge: To build a tiny house for under $20k, without any previous building experience, raising all the money herself, without using fossil fuels.

The result is the Silver Bullet: The off-grid, water-harvesting, solar, non-fossil fuel, non-toxic tiny home made from 85% reclaimed materials.
