Abstract: This is a report on a self-renovation project carried out by university students in which they recycled a vacant house into a shared student house. The smooth execution of this project was due to a clear understanding of the house sublease business and a relationship of mutual trust between the real estate agent and the vacant house owner. Students acquired valuable knowledge and techniques thanks to the professional guidance of a carpenter. Furthermore, this project led to the creation of a community event and shows promise of having further positive effects on the community as it continues to flourish.
