Building a home made entirely from American made products from the nails to the bathtub was achieved by Bozeman, Montana builder Anders Lewendal. There are more than 120 products from 33 states. Anders believes that if every builder bought just 5% more American materials this could create 220,000 jobs. He does acknowledge that using American products can be more expensive, however, only 1 to 2 percent more than a foreign-sourced house.
