Iâ€™ve Seen People Turn Garbage Into Some Cool Stuff. But THISâ€¦. This Gregory Kloehn House Is Absolute Brilliance.

Janill Gilbert stashed this in Housing

Gregory Kloehn goes dumpster diving, but not for the reason that most people would think. He isnâ€™t homeless. In fact, he is an artist from Oakland that is trying to help the homeless and develop his craft at the same time.

Instead of building sculptures that he would sell to rich people to add to their massive homes, he decided to focus his efforts on helping house the homeless population in California.
