He came and did all the work installing them for about $2,700 (£2,000). ![]() I was in a couple of Facebook groups for double decker bus conversions and I spoke to a guy who suggested putting solar panels on the bus. I was shocked by the amount of filth that came out seeing the dirt flow down the stairs was horrible. We got the seats taken away by scrappers and then we jet-washed the entire bus, inside and out. There were lots of poles everywhere and everything was old, so there were strange star-shaped screws which were a nightmare to remove and took a while, but my partner would pop over and help because he worked at a building next door to where it was situated. I found a place to keep it during renovations for just $135 (£100) a month rent, and my first task was removing all the seats and lights. It only had one tiny leak where I think a branch had hit the top corner inside was immaculate. I bought it in April for a bargain price of $4,360 (£3,250). I popped in to see if they had any for sale, and they rang me a couple of days later saying they had a double decker London bus I could look at. I'm a delivery driver so I knew of a vehicle garage close to me that had quite a few double decker buses. I don't think he quite believed me!įrom there, I started searching for buses. He showed it to me, and I decided that was what I was going to do next.

I'm friends with the owners now, we chat all the time. I even knocked on the door and asked to look around. I found one house nearby that has a dungeon style basement. I was looking at windmill houses and Victorian homes with a lot of character. So I left that space and moved back in with my mom and thought about what type of property I could work on next. It was situated in a woodland area on my dad's land in north Wales, but the local council didn't like that and it was so old and thrown together, that moving it around would have caused it to deteriorate. I knocked all the walls down and converted it into a one bedroom apartment with a black kitchen, wooden worktops and a beautiful bathroom. My dad has a caravan park and we had an old caravan and an old shipping container, so I created a container house where I stuck them together it was a botch job really! On the outside it looked really awful, but when you walked through the door the interior was absolutely gorgeous. Before I bought a double decker London bus, I completed another unusual property project.
