dan phillips has plans for your trash
When I’m retired, I want to be just like Dan Phillips. I’m going to move out to the middle of nowhere, and build a crazy awesome house out of found stuff. Just like Dan.
Except Dan does it for other people, too. This is a ceiling created from discarded frame shop samples.
House numbers made of cattles bones… and Dan Phillips himself in front of a tree house.
