Do you think to build a house for 2000 dollars is unrealistic? This homeless show you the impossible!

Life Lamar Alexander was well-fed and secure, but because of serious illness and divorce, he lost everything. Well, almost everything except residential van and a small patch of land which has got him by inheritance. As many as 2 years he lived in the car and prohibitively worked to realize his dream: to build a house without mortgage loans and outposts. Alexander amassed $ 2000 and built himself a house of this magnitude, which could be built without a permit for construction.

I was really struck by the result that what he built in such a small budget, can not fail to impress. Hut with two floors and a terrace, which will protect it in any weather.

In this photo the beginning of construction: Alexander laid the foundation with concrete feet and wooden frames. This house is like a "floating" on the surface.





Next - frame made of planks with plastic sealed insulation.





After that, the floor is covered with special plates, which are also covered frame walls.





Under the outer skin of the walls - roofing paper or any other insulating material.





Paul the second floor - the same design as the floor of the first (using DSP).





The construction of the roof. Here Lamar and needed help artists.





With the installation of doors and windows of the hut slowly taking shape this house.





The roof is also covered chipboard. And in the end, too densely covered with insulation. On top of all this, and yet she had made with roofing lath.





It's amazing how this little hut all in harmony. A total of 18 square meters - and a complete set! Even water from a well.





Bedroom - on the top floor. Still unfinished buildings already looks very comfortable.





Lamar has attached to the front of the house has a terrace for a loved one and their two dogs. Watch the sunset with a terrace - a pleasure.





Hooray! Facilities completed homes. There even has its own garden. Above the terrace there is a system of solar panels. All the electricity in the house - from solar and wind energy.





Lamar Alexander satisfied with his small independent world. Meanwhile, the public liked his ideas. Now he deals with all through his books. In them you can find information about this and other projects. It helps people who, like him, are in need of assistance. But even if you have a flat, its projects can be a very useful incentive.
