13 Year Old, Luke Thill, Builds Own Home For Just $1,500

His Inspiration

So just what Luke’s inspiration? “I was just on YouTube looking around and came across a tiny house idea and then that spiraled into looking at almost every YouTube video there is, it felt like,” Luke told ABC News in October 2017.

“I got obsessed with them and decided to build my own.”

Tiny House Movement

While looking through at some video-sharing sites, he came across tons of “Tiny House” instructional YouTube videos. “Tiny House,” as we’ve already explained, is a movement that looks to advocate living more simply in smaller houses.

Granted the homes might be small but it has all of the basic needs any house has. And seeing as a 13 year boy made it work, we think adults can too!
