Why bother with the usual three-bedroom, two-bathroom home when dumpsters await behind practically every mall?
Inquisitr reports that Dr. Jeff Wilson, aka “Professor Dumpster,” has just spent the better (worse?) part of a year living in a dumpster. With just
occasional forays to his girlfriend’s and daughter’s homes, Wilson mostly made do with only 36-square-feet of domestic bliss.
Within this 36-square-feet, Wilson managed to pack in such luxuries as an air conditioner, an electric heater, and a storage compartment beneath a “false floor.” His
one complaint? The WiFi signal was rather weak.
Wilson’s goal was to teach students how little one really needs to possess in order to live the good life. He called this stint in the dumpster a lesson in sustainability.
For his next “act,” Wilson will be on the move to “99 different homes in Austin [Texas].” Some
of these homes will be simple, some fancy.
The point of this “new project, called 99 Nights ATX,” will be to explore “the contemporary notion of house and home… in conventional and unconventional spaces.”
