牛人! 他把双层巴士改造成了带电梯的三居室!
A thrifty father of two is living completely Mortgage-free after swapping his family home for a double-decker bus.
在将一辆双层巴士打造成了一个温馨的家后,这位有着两个孩子的节俭父亲完全逃脱了房贷。Professional inventor Rick Hunt, from Cambridgeshire, spent just 3,600 pounds on the disused vehicle, stripping back the seating to kit it out with three bedrooms as well as a kitchen, bathroom, dining area and seating area.
英国剑桥郡的职业发明家里克·亨特仅花了3600英镑就买下了一辆闲置的双层巴士,他将巴士里的座位扒掉,腾出空间改造出三间卧室、一间厨房、一间浴室,还有用餐区和座位区。Appearing on Channel 4's How To Live Mortgage Free, he stunned presenter Sarah Beeny with his futuristic mobile home which cost him and his wife Amanda just20,000 pounds.
出现在第四频道的《如何摆脱房贷》节目中,里克·亨特的未来主义风格的可移动房屋让主持人莎拉·比尼大为震惊。这个房屋只花了他和妻子阿曼达2万英镑。
The family revealed last Wednesday night's episode how were previously renting a 1,400 pounds -a-month four-bedroom property near Cambridge.
这个家庭在上周三晚上的节目中透露,他们之前只能租住剑桥附近的一栋有4间卧室的房子,房租每月要1400英镑。They came up with the plan to craft their own dream home after struggling to save a deposit for a family home in the area which would have cost them in the region of 390,000 pounds.
剑桥郡普通民宅售价约为39万英镑,他们为了首付款挣扎,最终想出了这样一个计划来完成自己对房子的梦想。But they had the added stress of making the home fully adaptable for Amanda, who struggles with severe mobility issues after a skydiving accident during her twenties when her chute didn't open.
但是为了妻子阿曼达住的更舒适,他们在改造过程中也碰到了难题--阿曼达20多岁时在一次跳伞中因未及时打开降落伞受伤,之后饱受行动不便的困扰。She uses a walking frame to get around the house, meaning Rick - the sole breadwinner and Amanda's primary carer - also had to install a lift in his DIY mobile home.
她通常使用助行器在家里活动,这意味着里克--唯一的养家的人、阿曼达的主要照料者--在这栋DIY的房子里还得装上电梯。Discussing the 'genius' creation, a visibly impressed Sarah told the couple: 'The plans for the bus sound genius. This is extremely ambitious given the budget, but if anyone will do it, I think it will be you.'
谈到这个“天才式”的创新,对此印象深刻的主持人莎拉告诉这对夫妻:“这个针对双层巴士的计划简直是神来之笔,但因为预算有限,所以这个要求会很高。如果要问谁能做到的话,应该就是你们吧!”
