Cass poured his heart and soul into this project for three years, and the best part?

He only spent $40K, thanks to his innovative use of recycled materials.

Cass isn’t new to the recycling world. He’s part of the family-run Enumclaw Recyclers & The Use Again Store.

The kitchen is a marvel with its efficient appliances, spacious layout, and a vintage sink that adds a touch of nostalgia.

Cass’s strategic decision to separate the shower from the toilet adds functionality to the compact space.

The bedroom is a cozy retreat with a queen-sized bed, ample storage, and a unique glass door entrance.

Speaking of entrances, the main door is a showstopper.

Reminiscent of the iconic doors from “Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit,” Cass crafted it with steel, stained fir, and birch plywood.

And it even comes with an adorable key! Cass’s home features three entrances, each with its own charm and purpose.

Emma, Cass’s girlfriend, beautifully sums up the essence of the house:

“The house is a huge reflection of him and how he sees the world.”

Today, the couple shares this enchanting space, filled with stories, missions, and a whole lot of love.

Beyond the physical beauty and functionality of the house, it’s the underlying philosophy that stands out.

Cass’s home is a beacon for sustainable living, proving that with creativity and dedication, one can craft a haven without harming the environment.

It’s a message that resonates with many, inspiring them to rethink their own living spaces.
