Beer Can House

By: Jameal Jones

The beer can house was the most amazing creation I had ever seen. It took Mr. Milkovisch eighteen years to turn his home into a unique site for all to see.Over 50,000 cans were used to make this home such a beautiful tourist attraction. 

The house showed an art that I had never seen before. My questions were what made him think to do such a thing and how many times did he get cut while cutting up the cans. From look at the house he used every piece of the can, Mr. Milkovisch made designs using the top of the cans, such a masterpiece. When we walked to the back of the house I saw this little lemon tree that never dies, I thought it was the coolest thing ever. The lemon tree was made from the plastic small lemon juice containers and tied to the tree. All I could wonder was who thinks of such amazing art. I saw a quote when asked why did he do this to his home, he simply said, "I guess I just thought it was a good idea. And it's easier than painting." I believe I would have painted my house instead but Mr. Milkovisch said he didn't see it as art but something to pass his time. Just goes to show you many people have their own ways of passing time, whether it takes on day or eighteen years.
