A few years ago, an American pensioner from Oregon Bruce Campbell built himself a house from a Boeing 727 airplane. Campbell installed his new home in the woods outside the city of Portland. The cabin of the aircraft underwent a rather serious alteration: the man put the cabin, stairs in order, installed LED lighting, made the floor covering transparent. There is also a shower on the plane, however, without a shower stall. It took the former engineer 10 years and more than 200 thousand US dollars to turn the plane into his home.

But the pensioner is not going to stop there. Now he plans to build a second home from a Boeing 747 in Japan.
