What this episode covers

Patty Shields, one of the few women builders in Virginia, shares with us what it's like to be an oddity. She's a woman in the primarily male home building arena. On top of that, is one of those building science geeks, on the leading edge of high performance green building. Patty teaches us to forget about fitting in. How has that ever changed the world anyway?
