no insulation, no dry wall, no plumbing or electric. its amazing the code inspectors allowed construction to continue.
-
This dude builds houses for real. This is not no ordinary popsicle stick house. This literally has structural key points
-
This guy really just built a house out of popsicle sticks the exact same way you make a real home
-
During one point of the house it looked like a old abandoned house overtaken by cobwebs because of the hot glue stings.

Give this man around of applause šš This is extraordinary really only few people have this patience and time

I wanna thank you for uploading this, I watched it like two years ago and it inspired me to try it out and Iāve been doing it ever since. Itās one of my favorite things to do now. I like to make things other than houses like a ships and Iām currently making a train. If you hadnāt uploaded this I would probably never have gotten to this point. Thank you so much!

The explosion you just heard was my jaw hitting the floor. You sir are a boss!

This is an awesome example of dedication to something you obviously enjoy. Sadly if it isn't cardboard box ready...most people don't appreciate your art. If you make a career out of something you enjoy, you will get the most out of your life and be happy. You won't end up like some of the people commenting with their inability to appreciate what you have created. You won't be miserable like them, dragging your butt to a JOB. Goodluck with your plans to be an architect!

I built house's for about 12 years and i can say the feeling that you get when you walk up on that slab and start poping your lines for the walls too when you walk away with someones dream sitting there its amazing i no longer build house's but i do very much miss it but i own my own business now and i make more money too support my family not only did the housing. Market go down were i live there just wasent enough houses being built at the time so it left me know choice but too move on but i still do alot of construction like add ons decks an so fourth but really great work an really time consuming

š² did anyone else freak out about how the house would move as he was adding sticks??? I thought it was going to fall off the table! Congratulations on your beautiful piece of art work! šš¼
