Sixteen-year-old builds a sustainable micro-house on his own for his own autonomy

    A sixteen-year-old Californian built his own sustainable house on wheels in the garden of his parents' home. In this way, he was able to gain real autonomy early on, as well as being free from the burden of having to pay a mortgage or rent. His greatest dream consists in being able to always carry his home with him. The time to move to college could be the first stop on the journey.

    A sixteen-year-old Californian made his own in the garden of his parents' house sustainable house on wheels.

The time to move to college could be the first stop on the journey.



    La sustainable home by Austin Hay - this is the name of the boy, who lives in Sonora Country and attends high school - it is perfectly habitable even if it is much smaller than the parents' villa. Small spaces they mean much less expensive expensesAustin argues, and this aspect would represent the very first advantage of living in a house where the space is equal to that necessary to live.

    Austin is probably the youngest representative of the Tiny House Movement, which supports the construction of small, ecological, sustainable and affordable houses, even from an economic point of view. Austin spent approx 12mila U.S. dollars, compared to the 23 thousand necessary for such a construction, thanks to the fact of having personally engaged in labor and in the research of materials, paying particular attention to recycling and the possibility of finding second hand objects and timber.

    Between waste and abandoned objects was able to recover doors, windows, floor coverings and a sink for the kitchen. He installed both the kitchen and the bathroom, which is equipped with one ecological toilet. The house on wheels can be moved and placed anywhere. The living space is of suns 12 square meters, to which is added a small attic, which Austin has transformed into his own sleeping place.

    It seems that despite the very small size, after a few months spent inside his new home, Austin has no intention of returning to the home of his parents where he had lived comfortably for the previous sixteen years. The trick is toget used to having the least amount of space available, to the full advantage of savings and environmental sustainability.
