Boeing house

[tonym911]

A lady called Joanne Ussary bought an old Boeing 727 for $2,000 and turned it into this:



It cost her $4,000 to move it into place and $24,000 to renovate. The stairs open with a garage door remote and one of the bathrooms is still intact. There's a Jacuzzi in the cockpit.

Rather creative to say the least. Not sure of the location but I imagine South Pacific somewhere.

A good idea, but I can't see it taking off!

Interior design not really to my taste but wow what a idea. I can just imagine the puzzled look if I sent in a similar planning application here in the UK, don't think it would pass,

"$4,000 to move it into place and $24,000 to renovate."

So, £20k? I would live in that in a heartbeat. In the UK though i imagine it would not even be legal to do it and if it was it would cost more than a proper house

edit: yeah, what Martyn said

Madness - I love it!

It looks like a prototype Tracey Island that went wrong...

I don't like the gypsy-style wood panelling but it's better than this one:

That panelling is an acquired taste but very much in the 'American in the South Seas' vernacular. Kind of makes sense when you're out there. I imagine a plane fuselage is quite well insulated and hence well suited for living in?

Where is the conveyor belt?

It's actually a suite in a hotel in Costa Rica. There is another plane based home owned by Joanne Ussary and assembled for the figures stated above, but it's not quite as impressive.

Prices aren't THAT stupid either… hmm

'Still more monkeys than people' says the advert.


Much the same over here!
