At the tender age of seventeen, Tom accomplished a tremendous feat by creating his ideal home.
He built a home out of recycled materials and on a tight budget, motivated by the high expense of housing and his desire for a stress-free, straightforward life. He’s happy to buy his house outright at the age of 20, saving him money on rent.
Tom’s house, which is situated on his grandfather’s property, is designed with classic English and rustic elements. At 17, he bought a trailer and started building with larch wood, fence panels, and repurposed windows while finishing an apprenticeship in carpentry.
Beautiful recycled wood is included throughout the interior, highlighting Tom’s dedication to building a project on a tight budget.
Tom’s living area has a TV hung on the wall, a regular couch, and a small workstation. The kitchen has been designed using repurposed materials, such as scaffold planks, and is equipped with basic appliances.
The bathroom has a charming rustic farmhouse feel to it with its corrugated sheet iron walls and chemical toilet. Tom’s comfortable loft bedroom is accessible via an overhead ladder.
With a construction budget of $8,200 and an hourly pay of $5.50, Tom’s financial self-control made his dream house a reality.
He worked hard to save money despite his meager wage to purchase the salvaged elements that characterize his distinctive yet affordable home.
Tom’s home, with his plans for more renovations, is an example of tenacity and ingenuity in homeownership. To get a full tour of Tom’s magnificent house, watch the video!
