Salvaged houses for low-income individuals

Post image for Salvaged houses for low-income individuals

Reminiscent of the Texas Tiny House guy, this self-taught, 64-year-old Texan has built 14 homes where 80 percent of the materials are salvaged. Beautiful photography by Michael Stravato in this NYT article, from which the above photos come. Don’t miss this YouTube video. Unfortunately, half of the homes have been lost to foreclosure, but Mr. Phillips is still out to prove that an attractive, affordable home is not an oxymoron. How about getting these guys together to start making tiny house villages.
