Someone has converted retired airplanes into residential buildings

1. American engineer Bruce spent $220000 to purchase a retired Boeing 727 aircraft and transported it to a forest on the outskirts of Portland, Oregon. For three months, he worked day and night, personally designing and renovating the aircraft, ultimately transforming it into a residence with a semi open kitchen, a large living room, luxurious bedrooms, guest rooms, two bathrooms, and a private office.He retained the original elements of the aircraft during the renovation process, such as seats and lighting, and spent $25000 to build a lane. Bruce really likes this self-designed home, he spends more than half of his time here every year.

2. A woman named Joe in the United States bought a Continental Airlines Boeing 727 plane for only $2000. She found a vacant land by the lake and spent $4000 on shipping to transport the abandoned plane there. She spent a lot of time renovating this aircraft with 76 seats and over 10 side windows, while preserving the windows to ensure good lighting in the rooms.This "house" converted from an airplane has 3 bedrooms, a dining room made entirely of solid wood, and a fully functional kitchen with a dishwasher and oven.It is said that some design companies offered her a luxurious mansion in exchange, but they were all rejected. Some netizens envy that it is much more cost-effective than buying a house.Retired aircraft converted into hotels
