Engineer's epic jugaad: constructing a house on land just 2 feet wide
Whether it's redirecting water dripping from an AC to a cooler via a pipe, hanging a makeshift hammock in a crowded train for a quick nap or even using a bicycle to create a washing machine, we have done it all and then some more. In this video that went viral daily recently, an engineer managed to build an entire house on a piece of land just two feet wide. It doesn't get more genius than this.
Who says India is not for beginners? Indians are legends when it comes to jugaad and we'll be all too happy to help you too. Whether it's redirecting water dripping from an AC to a cooler via a pipe, hanging a makeshift hammock in a crowded train for a quick nap or even using a bicycle to create a washing machine, we have done it all and then some more. In this video that went viral daily recently, an engineer managed to build an entire house on a piece of land just two feet wide. It doesn't get more genius than this.
Why did the video go viral?
A video shared on Instagram by @pascalinfratech shows a super 'thin' house with doors, windows, balconies et all standing tall. Now there are two ways to look at this house. One, as a completely genius move by someone truly motivated, or something downright ridiculous. Let's go with the first one.
You have to hand it to the person who saw a small slice of land and the opportunity that came with it. Sure, there could be safety issues, but something says an engineer made it, so can it be all that bad? According to one report, the house seems to be just a foot one and a half wide, while measuring over 50 feet in length. That said, one does wonder how someone gets to move around inside the house. Is there even enough space to turn around if you're lying on the floor?
How did the internet react?
Although the clip was shared in July, the views continue to climb. It has managed to rake in 55.1 million views, over 5,00,000 likes and 10.2k comments. Here are some of the best reactions:
