It is incredible that this bold teenager<\/strong>\u00a0is doing what he is doing, especially in a time, for youngsters, of smart phones, ipads and revolutionary gaming computers and systems. He decided to bust himself in a more \u2018traditional\u2019 way.<\/p>\n

He explains it all on<\/strong>\u00a0his youtube channel about his desire to build himself a small house and how in respects to his boredom that spurred him on to do it.<\/p>\n

After a lot of thought<\/strong>\u00a0and much consideration and quite a bit of research Luke had a pretty good idea how his plan he visualised would come to fruition!<\/p>\n

It took him in total<\/strong>\u00a0about a year to get the money and materials all together to do the work on the house, he mowed lawns, did fund raisers online and did jobs for anyone he could and generally did anything he could to raise money.<\/p>\n

Luke was friends with someone<\/strong>\u00a0who knew electrics and he helped him install all the electrics in exchange for Luke clearing out all his garage for him, trade for trade so to speak.<\/p>\n

During his project Luke used<\/strong>\u00a0about 75% recycled materials, a lot of things left over from his grandma\u2019s house, the front door was a gift from the friend of his uncle!<\/p>\n

The little house is about 89 square foot and a whole 10 feet in length at around 5 \u00bd feet wide, it has electricity but no plumbing, so no toilet sink or shower yet!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Luke said:<\/p>\n

\u201cI liked the minimalism\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I wanted to have a house without a huge mortgage.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Luke has made many<\/strong>\u00a0short videos to post on youtube, he tells us about his project, there are many people curious about it and his motivation to do it.<\/p>\n

Luke recieved quite a lot of help<\/strong>\u00a0from his parents both with the building and with the finances, but dad Greg ensured that it was Luke that would pay for most everything himself.<\/p>\n

Greg said:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a chance for a kid to do something more than play video games or sports\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIt teaches life lessons.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The house is a complete dream<\/strong>\u00a0house for a teenager, a little sanctuary for him to realx and have his own space, it has a microwave, TV and a loft with a bed, there is even a BBQ out back!<\/p>\n

Luke diligently does his homework<\/strong>\u00a0after school time in his little house then in the nighttime, at least some of the time, he gets to sleep there too!<\/p>\n

Luke already has ideas and dreams<\/strong>\u00a0of building another house, but this time a little bigger for the time when he wants to start college, he also wants to inspire others too!<\/p>\n

He said:<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to show kids it\u2019s possible to build at this age\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
