Budget House Renovation - Series Introduction - Build a Live / Work Home in a Dying City
Affordable housing is a tough issue to solve. Especially if you survive around the poverty line working for yourself as a craftsperson or artist. After two years and an extreme attitude shift I believe I've stumbled upon America's Greatest Affordable Housing opportunity. Move-in ready (almost) homes found in the dying towns, cities, municipalities, boroughs, townships, communities, villages, hamlets, burgs, and settlements. This is the launch of a series where we will take such an opportunity and DIY a home and a workshop. A space to live and work. To be better at being poor so as to earn our piece of the American Dream. ---------------------------------------------------------- Support this Channel, Buy me a 2x12 ($20): https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/ZL... ---------------------------------------------------------- ? @LukeCapasso : "Your problem is not that your poor, it’s just you suck at being poor. If you want nice shit then you’re gonna have to take some old shit and make it nice shit. Being completely useless is a luxury of the rich, and you’re not rich, you’re poor. If you want to be poor and just have old garbage. Then fine, you’re good to go. But if you’re gonna sit around and cry about how you have nothing nice, but then you’re doing nothing to have anything nice, that’s your own fault. If you’re able bodied and broke, that’s nothing but opportunity. And if you’re like, “I don’t know how to fix stuff”. Ya, know one does, until they do. You ever met a baby that knew how to do flat roofing? You’re gonna suck at it at first. But your poor. If you want it to be nice, you’re gonna just have to keep doing it. Until it’s nice. I know people in their 40’s who don’t even know how their toilets works. You sit on it every day. Just sit on it backwards once and look at the innards. There’s tons of old trash everywhere. Just take it home. Polish it up. Now you have nice stuff. You go to a job and you sell your dude your time for an hourly wage, why not sell yourself some time. In exchange for your time now you have nice shit. I’m not trying to mean to you. I’m rooting for you. So get out there. Get some old shit. Make it nice shit. You might fail. Then try again. Doesn’t matter. You’ll get there eventually." ---------------------------------------------------------- This channel is based on the value for value proposition.
