 Hey, TLO! What's- Y'all on Twitch, we are not behind! If you didn't even like, comment, or subscribe, turn on your post notifications, and let's continue to grow the family from Chicago to the UK. In this channel right above, man, if we go live and you happen to miss it, this is where you can catch it. We do got the Discord, and we also got the Patreon. Some of you may be wondering what I got on. This is called a skip shirt. It's actually very slimming. I want to, you know, play my little role, see what's going on with this. I pay $50 a month to live in a skip in London. Skip shirt was free. Let's get into this, man. I'm interested. My name's Harrison, and I live in a skip. This is the main living area, as it were. This is my hob, where I'll kick. I've got my pots and pans under here. Very small one-pot meals. The folks live a little bit better than me. It's clean in that joint. I ain't even gonna lie to you. For the next year, food storage, fridge. Got some nice little plants here, and then beds up the top. So what goes in the fridge? Which is kind of cozy for the place with artwork from friends and family, which is nice. The project is obviously my home, but it's also a statement in response to the rising cost of living and the crazy rent prices. You know what? I ain't even knocking that. I'm not even knocking that. If we out here making statements, me too. I refuse to go by high fashion. You know what I'm saying? I rather wear it is. You know, affecting thousands of people all over the country. And so this project... He's doing it for a good cause. Well, Keith, it's all mine. ...was a way in which I could find a... almost like a little loophole that would give me a space to live for less money in a very great location and equally make a statement at the same time. I feel like he's smart for this one. He's a smart guy. You see, this is the entrance, so a little bit awkward getting in and out every day, but once you get the hang of it, it's actually not too bad. And then beds all up the top, up the ladder. And that is all my storage down the side, so all my clothes, my tools, um, jumpers, and then, yeah, all the beddings up there. He can only do this in London. And I'm surprised he can do this in London. Like, does nobody bother it? Is it gated in? I came back to London a few months ago. I'd been doing some work overseas, and I started the dreaded hunt of looking for a room. As is the case with thousands of people, it was almost impossible to find somewhere that was in my budget that fitted kind of a decent location and my criteria. And even if I found somewhere, you know, there'd be 100 people looking for the exact same room, and without putting a deposit down, within five minutes, it'd be gone. So you ended up spending all of your evenings, all of your spare time, hunting for a room, just to be let down time and time again. And, you know, I've got neighbors here. I wonder how much it cost to me. Oh, it is, okay. It's in a gated community. I see balconies. What kind of posh over there? It looks nice over here, okay? As long as this isn't a good spot, like, I could trust it. Like, I could never. Because I'm this big, you know what I'm saying? I've lived here their whole lives, and their kids are now grown up in this area. They've got jobs here. They're moving out, and they're having to move way out to the, you know, the outskirts of the city. Even though this is where they're based, this is where they're grown up and spent the last 20 years. And the price is just, you know, unaffordable. So the cost was about £4,000 all in. So that's all the materials, most of the furnishings. And then my only outgoing cost, now that it's here, is the nominal rate for the actual skip itself, which is £50 a month. For that to be possible, obviously I've got a lot of help. I mentioned before the site, this is provided by a art charity called Anti-Bavillion, who have access to this plot of land. Even the Porta Lou company has provided that for free, and therefore, hence this project, isn't necessarily scalable, but more of an art project in itself. So you're only paying about £6,000. Okay, okay. And for the rest of the year, you've been outgoing, right? Like a lot of loopholes he just found out for this one. Yes, exactly. So inside the skip, I have a little, this is my water, which I refill from a hose that runs from the neighbor's property. And then as of today, actually, I will have electricity coming in. That will mean I can cook in here, I'll have a heater, I'll have to charge everything, etc. And then showering, I do work or at the gym. Are you single at the moment? Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. But I'm sure after this video, his rate went through the roof. I can get behind having a little hippie girlfriend that would like living in here with me, saying that of the earth and things of that nature. Yes. What do you think any potential partner would make of this? I think... Yes. And now it's a button-up. Yeah. Okay. A little skip vest. You feel me? Let me back up so y'all get the full... so y'all get the full credentials of what I'm trying to do here. Hold on, man. Ever since I can't remember, I've been popping my collar. Hey, where you lit? My bad. Let me get back to a future presentation. It's a good question. I think the reactions I get are 50-50 on whether people want to come and check it out and stay over. I think most people want to come and check it out. Stay over is crazy. Stay over is a different kind of question. I think the shower, the toilet would be a big factor. They're one of the biggest compromises of living in a skip. And then how long are you intending to stay? So I will be living in the skip itself for over a year, maybe longer. And then I'm going to move to other sites. It could be a case that I move this to other locations around London if opportunities arise. That would be heat. Like, moving it around, that's raw. That will make it something that I'm going to do. If it's stationary in one spot, I'd be like, eh. But yeah, I want to do definitely a good chunk of time, see it through. Do you think you'll hack it? Yes, I think so. I've kind of picked the worst time of year and then moved in. It's cold. So I've experienced all the cold in here and I've experienced it without electricity yet as well, which means hopefully as we get closer to spring, it gets a little bit more comfortable. The garden starts to become a little bit more useful. And then my other worry then would be the other extreme of middle of summer, just how hot it might get inside here. So that would be a different kind of challenge. But I think I should be able to. With electricity though, you'll have fans. You might, you know, you can get fans like little mini ACs, you good? Okay, yeah. But the purpose of this project is to push a bit more creative thinking around housing and how it can be done. The way in which social housing has been done and has moved moving forward over the years has become much more of a tick box exercise for developers rather than something that people or organizations or government really, truly believe in and want to put their time in and want to put them. This is for a great cause. I'm sitting here having a laugh about it, but it's still for a good cause, man. At the end of the day, are you not entertained? Money in. And so therefore it's become something which just has to be kind of done on the side and then therefore it's never, you know, fully integrated or done to a high standard or the time and effort isn't really put into it. And so, you know, this is just trying to push people to really think a little bit more about that.
