Beer-Can Home - A Love Shack for Suds
[Edit]
[Edit]
Now you know what to do with your beer cans. The creator of this “house”, John Milkovisch, passed away in the 1980’s but the beer can house he created has been designated a public folk art monument.
According to the his son, “He never had less than eight or ten cases stacked up in the garage, and that he would frequently clean out the local grocery store’s suds. Over 20 years, he emptied more than 50,000 cans of brew, thousands of which he flattened and turned into patterns for his family’s home.”
50,000 cans of beer! That’s like 6.84 beers a day.
"Most people who take the lead in doing something truly innovative are considered a little bit crazy," Houston Mayor Bill White is quoted as saying at a dedication ceremony. White also praised Milkovisch's "hard work of generating all those beer cans."
Renovations to the house to turn it into a museum cost $400,000 and took seven years.
Question raised: If we drink so many beers we can build a house, can we just tell everyone who calls us "lazy slackers" that we're artists?
