Pennsylvania — Locals were surprised earlier this week when self-described artist Thad Cummings unveiled his new abode. While there are currently small homes and even a few tiny houses in the area Cummings’ home truly takes the cake…or more accurately Popsicle.

Tired of paying rent, and terrified of having to get a real job Thad decided to build himself a tiny house on his grandfather’s land. “Originally, I’d asked to live with him for a bit, just until I make it big, but he told me to shove off. He was perfectly fine with me putting a small home on his property though so it all worked out.” Thad told us.

His grandfather also seemed impressed with his grandson’s new digs, “Honestly, he’s never finished anything in his life, so I figured he was just talking out of his ass. Now that it’s done, I’m somewhere between embarrassed and proud,” the elder Mr. Cummings stated.

Not only is Thad’s tiny house environmentally friendly he was able to keep costs down by sourcing his Popsicle sticks from frustrated moms in local craft groups. “Most of the women didn’t even want money, they just wanted this shit out of their house,” he said with a slight smile.

So next time you’re about to toss your children’s art supplies in the fire remember: one man’s trash can be another man’s haphazardly constructed illegal domicile.
