One man’s recyclable material is another man’s building material. Back in the 70s, John Milkovisch decided to put his collected cans of beer to good use. He had been holding onto these cans for most of his life, keeping them stored up in the attic. He then set about opening each can, flattening them out and using them to side his house. The Beer Can House became a labor of love that attracted visitors from all over the world. When John passed away, his sons took over maintenance of the house replacing any rusty patches with new cans. Even as new condos and buildings sprang up in the neighborhood, the Beer Can House stayed put. You can still see it to this day.

As a real estate agent in Houston you might have had the unfortunate experience of taking on a listing from the bank that was once occupied by squatters. In this era of foreclosed properties, the concept of squatters taking over has become more prevalent. Ironically, the cops can’t do a lot when it comes to enforcing the laws. Technically, a squatter is guilty of trespassing but unless the property owner is pressing charges the police can’t arrest them. Since the foreclosed home is owned by a bank, it’s hard to track down a single person who can be legitimately called the owner. Yes, a bank can begin eviction proceedings but during that time, the squatters have no problem staying put. You probably don’t have to imagine the horrors of what could go on in a home turned into a squatter’s den because you’ve seen the aftermath. Now there is help standing by and that would be
