In America, a large single mother built a house for instructions on YouTube

Passed love, wilted tomatoes. When to live with a disgusted spouse it becomes unbearable, you just slam the door and go to nowhere. So in 2007, a resident of the city of Bryant Arkansas Kara Brukins arrived. This was her second husband, and she again stepped on the same rake of family violence. "My wife and I were constantly scandalous," the woman recalls. He raised his hand to me. When you encounter violence, you only think about how to survive. I was afraid to leave the children with him in the house, I was afraid that after that I would never see them again. I was ashamed, and I was worried that my children would not have a sense of self-worth and self-confidence. And one day I took my four children and left.A photo: @ cmbrookins Only now there was no place to live with a large mother. But one day she saw a house destroyed by a tornado. "And what if we buy a plot, materials and build something ourselves?" - flashed a thought. - What should be the house of our dreams? On YouTube, she once came across a series of videos about how to build a house with her own hands. Curiosity looked at one, another, and third, and then went to the bank and took a loan of 150 thousand dollars to buy the necessary materials. When the construction began, the eldest son of Kara was 17 years old, daughters - 15 and 11 years old. They were the main mom's helpers. We had time to study and participate in the construction, and to look after our younger brother, who was only two years old. "We had absolutely no idea what it's like to build a house," Kara admits to her subscribers in social networks and journalists of Western media. - But we watched thousands of videos, they helped us a lot. We were extremely naive, but gambling. As a result, a large family led by a very fragile, but such a strong mother built a two-story house with five bedrooms, three garages and even a separate library with a total area of 325 squares! However, no one abolished the main work of Kara. They worked on weekends and in the evenings. And do you know how long it took them? Nine month! For eight years now they have been living in their own house, where they know every beam, every carnation. As Kara says, housing, of course, is great. But this is not the main thing that her family learned from this process. - While we were learning to build a house, we learned to understand each other well. Now my children are not afraid of anything. They will surely cope with any business. The woman described her experience in the book: "The house that built the family", which will be released at the end of January. So, it turns out, the family drama helped her to become famous, find herself and build an incredibly friendly family.1/12Photo: @cmbrookinsPhoto: @cmbrookinsPhoto:@cmbrookinsPhoto: @cmbrookinsPhoto: @cmbrookinsPhoto: @cmbrookinsPhoto: @cmbrookinsPhoto: @cmbrookinsPhoto: @cmbrookinsPhoto: @cmbrookinsPhoto: @cmbrookinsPhoto: @cmbrookins Read more:
