One woman makes paying rent look like child’s play.
Mckean Maston, a 24-year-old production manager from Texas, says she’s saving $10,000 a year in rent after she converted her childhood play house into a tiny home.
She said the project, which she began with her dad James Matson, 53, when she was 12, took her an additional six months to finish. “I said, ‘Let’s go build a fort!’ My dad was like, ‘No, you’ve got to build a house because when you get big, you can go and play in it or whatever,” she recalled. “It was probably a six-month project whenever I was younger. All we did then was create the core-shell and the outer shell. We protected it with tar paper for water resistance,” McKean said.The home now has a bedroom, kitchen, living space, a bathroom and a front porch. It’s also connected to the family’s solar energy and water supply.
Mom Somare Matson, 54, helped her daughter design and implement the interior design to create a livable space.Tricked out tiny homes can cost buyers between $10,000 and well over $50,000.“You have this dream as a kid and you don’t necessarily think it’s going to come true, but it eventually does — and it’s like totally better than what you could have thought!” said Somare.
