Luke Thiull, a 13-year-old from Iowa, took on an extraordinary project, building his own tiny house in his parents’ backyard. His journey, shared on YouTube, showcases his passion, resourcefulness, and determination.

Luke’s project cost around $1,500, and he funded it by doing odd jobs and raising money online. Remarkably, 75% of the materials used were recycled, including leftovers from his grandma’s house. The house, measuring 89 square feet, has electricity but lacks plumbing. Luke’s father, Greg, emphasized the importance of Luke funding the project himself, stating it taught him “valuable life lessons.”

Luke’s cozy sanctuary, equipped with a microwave, TV, and loft bed, is more than just a house; it’s a testament to his dedication. He dreams of building a larger house when he starts college, aiming to inspire others to pursue their own ambitious projects.
