  3. A picture of this house next to the windmill would have been apt here. But I can imagine moving into a house like this. Quiet, serene and with a gorgeous view of the beach perhaps?

    Young Family Transforms Old School Bus Into Beautiful Cottage On Wheels

    Jeremy, with decades of experience in carpentry and auto body work, built all of the furniture and walls/ceilings/floors himself, while Mira interior designed and inputted her design ideas into every step of the building process. The two say that living in a home built entirely by them is “simply inexplicable.”
