Australian Matthew de Boer (Matthew de Boer) by profession sculptor. But one day, being in the countryside of his friend, he saw the old railway car of 1969. Matthew decided to make a comfortable and functional dwelling from it.
The car was in a deplorable state when Matthew began to work. The roof partly collapsed because of the tree fallen on her. The master was rightly thought that it was easier to replace it with a new one, rather than repaired. Therefore, on oak curved crossbars, he put wooden boards and covered their corrugated iron sheets.
As the author himself notes, due to the lack of experience in construction business, the manufacturer has taken away the manufacture and installation of doors and windows (in order for as much as possible solar light as possible, Matthew added 8 small windows). For the complete transformation of the old car in a comfortable house, 6 months left.
After the completion of the repair, Matthew and the bob lived in an updated car for only a few days, because after a week he was already leased. In such a cozy car-house costs the wishing to a little less than $ 200.
