The true feat of craftsmanship, which appears to be two structures made out of wood, tent and tarps, sits perched over the Arroyo Seco just off the side of the freeway. Piles of particularly placed rocks separate the home from the river's cement embankment, and a makeshift fence encircles what looks to be a side yard.
"The house is amazing," said one man who lives in the area.
Along with the structure itself, it even appears to be adorned with a series of decorations that include a Dodgers flag flying outside of the door.
