    You know, when I was your age, we owned a small farm in Massachusetts, with only 11 acres of land. We didn't farm it. It was just a big house with a big yard..lol. My Dad was working, going to college, while feeding and housing 8 people. My Mom worked her heart out too...Well one day back in the 70's, my Mom says, "Why don't we build, tiny houses on the land:?..and sell them cheap to couples or single people who need an affordable option"? We all said 'Great idea Mom" ! Yeah, we could put down some cement slabs and build a small house community" ! Well, money was very tight to say the least ! My parents couldn't afford a new car !...never mind building new tiny homes...so the idea faded away. That is until recently. Tiny homes are popping up all over the country. My Mom is now 87 and she said "do you see the little homes people are building"? I told you ! haha ! She was right !

    Aye man I’m 19 as well, living with my mom working a full time job. Seeing this video, watching you hustle to build this home at 17 while I was probably chillin in bed on my phone really woke my ass up. Believe it or not, I was just discussing with my girlfriend how I want to build our dream home. Next thing you know I hop on TH-cam and this video came up on my suggestions. You have my respect, and me as a subscriber✊🏽 Keep up the good work.

    it's wonderful and rare to see a young man of his age spend money and time doing something constructive and that he can actually use rather then spend his money and time on something that won't last. he now has a really beautiful home he built with his own 2 hands and it wasn't something he was given, he can be proud of his accomplishment. well done young man, and I hope you enjoy your lovely home for many yrs to come.

  • @RussianBotLvl
    @RussianBotLvl 7 ปีที่แล้ว +54

    I know it’s hard to understand for some people around the world but in North America some kids are taught to save from a very young age doing odd jobs like mowing lawns or shoveling snow for old people. Then when they are teens they work part time during school and full time during summer in a retail store or a fast food restaurant. Unfortunetely gettings a job as a teen in Europe and other places in the world is impossible. 30k in a couple years is easily feasible if you save.
    And even if parents would have paid for it, it’s not like it’s easy to build a house. It takes a lot of work, dedication, and perseverance. People hating are doing so because they cannot imagine themselves doing it.

    "Im only 17, 18, 19 one time"
    Damn this shit hit me. As a 16 year old there is a lot of confusion and uncertainty about my life. I feel like Im just rolling along not really looking forward to anything. My grandparents are getting old and I really feel their faint expression of no hope. Is that all Im waiting for? We all get old and we all die. That doesnt really worry me I just dont want to die without finding myself and come to peace with the unknown.We all got these universal questions about life and for some, these consume your day to day life. Myself I just really wanna know more about the universe. How will earth look like in 10 000 years? Will we invent space warp or even immortality? At some degree Im jealous of the future generations. To see the world, thousands of years from now is just unimaginable. But then again, they will die to. Maybe with new developed technology last longer, but there is probably no cure to aging. Everyone dies, and we have for thousands of years and we will continue for hopefully billions more. I believe we have the time to secure the human-species. Securing new planets as homes if Earth couldnt hold up. These questions and many more keeps me wondering, but I am positive that I will find my peace one day and discover my purpose. I am hopefull to find the people that will brighten my days and that I can do the same for others.
    If for some crazy reason your reading this. Stay strong, everything will be fine, seek your purpose and happiness and you will find it, I believe in you and I am not alone, there is so much to life and once you discover it you will understand. For now, keep looking for the small things that make you happy and pursue helping others.
    Now either have a nice day or a good night sleep :) Cya around

      Don't worry bro.You've got plenty of time to enjoy life.Just take care of your health and your loved ones.And try finding your passion and improving your life.Don't care what negative shithead losers say.They will always bark at the successful people but that's all what they do.
      I have worked part time as a Carpenter assistant since 10 in order to help my father.When I was 16 I opened a pizzeria with my friend at his big basement of his house.That's was a great place to go for highschool students.We designed the whole basement.It took half a year to prepare everything and we opened it when I was 16.We organized parties every night and also game nights because the basement was soundproof and we didn't get into trouble because of the loud noises.We worked there till we got 18 when we finished highschool.Now I'm 22,have a master degree in Electrical engineering (MSC) and this year I'm opening a small restaurant in Greece with a friend of mine and at the same time working in a solar power plant.
      The life I chose to do is great.I'm enjoying every single minute because I'm doing what I like.
      Some people get confused about their life but in fact it's pretty simple.Just go with the flow and let good things happen while you're working everyday in order to make them happen.

Only thing I'd recommend, for fire safety, would be to have two doors: In addition to your front door, a back door. That has saves a lot of lives, in case of fire. Few people are as industrious as you are and it sure paid off! Question: could it make sense to do something similar by, say, putting two tall 40' containers together? I know that certified pre-owned shipping containers could be gotten pretty darn cheap.

One part I did watch was towards the end when you discussed why it took you 2 years and how you wanted to go on thise trips with your class to have those experiences at 17, 18, or 19. Good for you man. You can find time to work on projects as you wish but you can't go back and get an experience back with people once the time has passed. Way to go. Hope things are well for ya. Now, off to watch the other tour video.
