More Plane Houses
Filed under: Cool Projects — Tags: — nedpelger

I came across some more airplane house photos at Dark Roasted Blend that are fun. This Boeing 727 found a new life as an abode in Costa Rica. I love the creativity and workmanship shown in the photos below.

The deck entrance combines the simple wood and high tech plane in a beautiful way.

Doesn’t the bedroom look like a place you’d feel comfortable?

On the other hand, this Boeing 727 in Mississippi is cool but just doesn’t have the same flair.

You can see more plane conversion photos if you’ve liked these.

Another Airplane house, but at 2% of the cost
Filed under: Cool Projects — Tags: — nedpelger

After I posted about the $2,000,000 house made from a 747, I came across this article in the WebUrbanist blog that showed an airplane house already built. They bought the scrap plane for $2,000, paid $4,000 to move it and another $24,000 for renovations. So for $30,000 they have the cool house shown below.

While I know these weird houses aren’t what building Construction Supervisors deal with every day, I think many of you will find them interesting. I also plan to feature houses that Construction Supervisors have built for themselves. I know some of you have created some real works of art with your talents.
