But some people are finding alternatives to traditional home ownership. Some people choose to live in tiny or mobile homes to save money, while others choose to live off-the-grid to cut their electricity and water bills. One man in Oklahoma had a different solution to his housing needs. Rob Brian had worked in the oil industry in Alaska for 25 years and decided it was time to retire. He owned a farm and had some savings, but he also had the skills to build his own home. He bought two old horse barns, 50 feet and 30 feet in size, and spent nine years working on his passion project day and night. The result was a 4,000-square-foot home down a dirt road in Mulhall, Oklahoma. Rob used natural materials from his farm, such as cedar wood, to create a beautiful and sturdy home that could withstand Oklahoma's weather. He even installed a pool on his property. Although some people initially thought Rob was crazy for attempting to build his own home, he persevered and proved them wrong. Rob wants to inspire the younger generation to go debt-free and start with small projects like building their own homes. He believes that saving up for land, materials, and tools can lead to the fulfillment of a dream home. Rob's story is a reminder that sometimes, the best solutions to our problems come from our own hard work and creativity. With determination and a bit of skill, anyone can build a home that they can be proud of.

The accumulation of trash has affected other homes in the area, and even blocked entryways and doors on the property, forcing the owner to climb over it to enter their home. Despite the owner's promises to address the issue, no action had been taken for over a decade. After Inside Edition stepped in, Mark Ridley's office initiated a coordinated effort with multiple city agencies to address the problem, bringing hope to nearby residents. The situation not only posed an unsightly nuisance that affected entire neighborhoods but also had become a significant health hazard. It is a reassuring sign that the authorities are taking action to address the hoarding problem at long last, providing relief to those affected. With the cleanup on the horizon, residents are looking forward to a cleaner environment that will enhance their quality of life.
