一名男子將一輛舊救護(hù)車(chē)改裝成他夢(mèng)想中的家

Isn’t it great living in the 21st century where we have YouTube and any dream of yours seems to be just one DIY tutorial away! Or maybe a couple of them depending on how big your dream is. And it’s quite safe to say that some people sure dare to dream bigger than others. The hero of today’s story is definitely one of them as he renounced the dream of normal life along with the idea of having a normal house when he was only 23 years old and began working on his first bus transformation project. Only this time, he decided to work on something a bit more eccentric. Scroll down to see his work in progress!

生活在21世紀(jì)不是很好嗎?我們有YouTube，你的任何夢(mèng)想似乎只是一個(gè)DIY教程的距離!或者根據(jù)你的夢(mèng)想有多大，選擇幾個(gè)?？梢钥隙ǖ卣f(shuō)，有些人敢于比別人有更大的夢(mèng)想。今天故事的主人公就是其中之一，他在23歲的時(shí)候就放棄了正常生活的夢(mèng)想，放棄了擁有一所普通房子的想法，開(kāi)始了他的第一個(gè)公交車(chē)改造項(xiàng)目。只是這一次，他決定做一些更古怪的事情。向下滾動(dòng)查看他正在進(jìn)行的工作!

Michael bought this old van

邁克爾買(mǎi)了這輛舊貨車(chē)

If you think of yourself as adventurous, think again. This guy, Michael, is 28 and spends most of his time wandering around the world in various vehicles that he calls home for some time. He built his first bus when he was only 23. “I wanted to build my own house but I couldn’t afford a property.”

如果你認(rèn)為自己喜歡冒險(xiǎn)，再想想。這個(gè)人叫邁克爾，今年28歲，他的大部分時(shí)間都是開(kāi)著各種各樣的車(chē)周游世界，有時(shí)他把這些車(chē)叫做家。他在23歲時(shí)造了他的第一輛公共汽車(chē)。“我想建自己的房子，但我買(mǎi)不起房子。”

That was originally an ambulance but was later used to transport fake grass

那原本是一輛救護(hù)車(chē)，但后來(lái)被用來(lái)運(yùn)送假草

“A bus was about the size of a shipping container except it was cheaper and had an engine. More than that, too many people have that excuse of “I can’t do that thing I want to do because I have a lease” or “It would be too hard to change.” Living in a vehicle gives you that flexibility and lets you say yes to so much more (plus living rent-free gives you much more pocket money),” he said in an interview with Bored Panda.

“一輛公共汽車(chē)只有集裝箱那么大，只不過(guò)它更便宜，而且有引擎。不僅如此，很多人都有這樣的借口:“我不能做我想做的事情，因?yàn)槲矣凶饧s。”他在接受Bored Panda網(wǎng)站采訪(fǎng)時(shí)表示:“住在車(chē)?yán)锝o了你這種靈活性，讓你可以對(duì)更多的東西說(shuō)‘是’(此外，免租金的生活還能給你帶來(lái)更多的零花錢(qián))。”

With the idea of making a house out of it

用它來(lái)造房子的想法

Besides building, he also works as an illustrator and says that his illustration skills definitely help with the planning process and sees the connection between interior design/building and illustrating. But he’s actually hoping to start building vehicles full-time and is selling his current project with even bigger ideas in mind.

除了建筑，他還是一名插畫(huà)師，他說(shuō)他的插畫(huà)技巧肯定有助于規(guī)劃過(guò)程，并看到了室內(nèi)設(shè)計(jì)/建筑和插畫(huà)之間的聯(lián)系。但實(shí)際上，他希望開(kāi)始全職生產(chǎn)汽車(chē)，并在出售他目前的項(xiàng)目時(shí)，考慮到更大的想法。

It took 4 months of constructing after work and on weekends

用了4個(gè)月的時(shí)間在下班后和周末進(jìn)行改造

A few months ago, he started thinking it’s about time to get off his van and build himself a new house-on-wheels. Therefore, he sold his van, went on Craigslist and found this “beautiful, boxy behemoth listed for sale”.

幾個(gè)月前，他開(kāi)始考慮是時(shí)候下車(chē)，給自己建一個(gè)新的車(chē)輪上的房子了。因此，他賣(mài)掉了自己的面包車(chē)，在Craigslist網(wǎng)站上找到了這個(gè)“正在出售的漂亮的、四四方方的龐然大物”。

To finish up with this project

完成這個(gè)項(xiàng)目

The behemoth, as he called it, was a 1992 Ford E-350 that used to serve as a small-town ambulance in Tennessee before getting into the hands of quite an eccentric high-end AstroTurf company outside of Austin which used it for driving rolls of fake grass and various tools from one job site to another. The company retired the old ambulance car after purchasing something more fitting for their purposes.

他稱(chēng)之為龐然大物,1992年福特e - 350,用來(lái)作為在田納西州一個(gè)小鎮(zhèn)的救護(hù)車(chē)進(jìn)入一個(gè)相當(dāng)古怪的高端的阿斯特羅草皮的公司，此外，奧斯汀駕駛它從一個(gè)工地到另一個(gè)地方來(lái)卷人造草坪和各種工具。這家公司買(mǎi)了更適合他們使用的東西后，把那輛舊救護(hù)車(chē)停了下來(lái)。

But Michael hopes to make building vehicles his primary occupation

但邁克爾希望把改造汽車(chē)作為他的主要職業(yè)
