13 Year Old, Luke Thill, Builds Own Home For Just $1,500

Rolling Up His Sleeves

Some of Luke’s bartering was pretty solid. He cleaned the garage of his electrician neighbor so he would help Luke wire the house.

He cut a Scout leader’s lawn so that he’d add carpet in the loft bedroom. Nothing like a bit of hard work to build your own house!

Proud Papa

Now Luke’s dad is incredibly proud of what he’s doing and his determination. “He’s a very driven kid for his age,” said Luke’s dad.

“There were times the project got stalled out and he had to earn more money for the next phase. He wouldn’t let it go and kept working at it.”
