Australian Man Uses Ancient Techniques — and His Bare Hands — to Build His Dream Home

There are guys, an elite few, who can win Olympic gold medals. And there are others, an even more elite few, who can eat record-setting numbers of hot dogs in less than 10 minutes. But how practical are those skills? How do they apply to everyday life?

Because those guys can’t, say, build a house with their own two hands. But John Plant of Queensland can. Because, among many other skills, this Australian man uses primitive technology to build things. He’s a DIY god.

Here’s how he does it…

Buying a Home Is a Nightmare

It takes a lot of commitment to buy a home, not to mention a lot of money. Between applying for a loan and signing a mortgage there is a lot of red tape you have to cut through. But is all the hassle worth it?

It Should Be Easier

Buying a home may not pan out the way you thought. You might have to deal with noisy neighbors, outdated appliances and unexpected costs. It’s no wonder people wish they could build their own homes. That’s not an option for many of us.

But for other, more talented folks, it’s more than a fantasy.

If shopping for a new home is making your blood pressure rise, then you might want to hire John Plant to build you one. But he’s not what you would expect either.

He’s One of a Kind

When you see the way Plant works, your jaw will drop to the floor. Sure, after seeing him work, you’ll kind of feel like you can do it too. But building a house is only easy if you know what you’re doing.
