Also on today's show, Kate Carpenter from HGTV.

TV Celebrity carpenter Kate Campbell is defying stereotypes – framing her image as one of the stars of the HGTV home improvement shows Decked Out, Disaster Decks. She’s found her calling and encourages other women to make their way into a field overwhelmingly dominated by men.

Kate, who runs her own company specializing in renovations and custom carpentry, is helping homeowners learn about the hottest outdoor living trends for this season. Industry analysts predict that in 2016 the market for sprucing up outdoor spaces will top $5.7 billion.
