"When I was a kid, I wanted to build a tree house, Austin explains. 'But this house is on wheels and that's a lot cooler.'
Austin doesn't do any building during the week - he's busy with school work and playing baseball. But he usually works hard on his house at the weekend. "At the moment I'm working on the doors. They're quite easy, so my dad isn't helping me. He only helps with the difficult things. Austin is sleeрing in his little house this summer. There isn't a fireplace at the moment, so in winter he'll move back across the lawn to his parents house. And in the future?
