This surprising YouTube video is about helping people achieve their dreams. Dan Phillips may have a revolutionary idea on his hands. He wants to help low-income workers realize the American dream.
Philips helps the working poor build their own small-scale houses. He requires the future owners to get their hands dirty. And he keeps costs down by using garbage. That’s right, these are houses made from garbage.
Philips realized tons of perfectly good building materials were being thrown away. They may be defective or ugly materials. But with a little work, they can be structurally sound. And in the end, these homes are unique and amazing.
