Buses, tiny houses, and shipping containers have all become popular building materials for one-of-a-kind homes.
These affordable substitutions for conventional housing provide the same level of comfort and a variety of customization options.
Jo Ann Ussery, on the other hand, designed her own unique home before it became popular.
She bought an old Boeing 727 and turned it into a lovely house.
Wonderful housing.
When Ussery’s home in Benoit, Mississippi, was destroyed in 1993, her adventure officially began.
She and her two kids needed a place to live because her husband had unexpectedly passed away, but they weren’t wealthy.
She had believed that purchasing a trailer would make all of her problems go away, but she soon realized she couldn’t afford a house big enough to accommodate her enormous family.
Ussery’s brother-in-law Bob, who works as an air traffic controller, suggested they try living aboard a plane.
Ussery was drawn to the idea and visited a Boeing 727 that had been disassembled for its parts.
Despite the piece’s $2,000 price tag (including shipping), she fell in love at first sight.
Ussery nicknamed her private Boeing 727 “Little Trump” after learning that Donald Trump also owned a private Boeing 727.
She started her expensive and time-consuming home improvements right away.
Less than $30,000 (or about $60,000 in modern currency) went toward the renovation.
While she worked on the inside, she needed to make sure it stayed in its current position.
Ussery made use of the lake that was already present on her property by bringing the plane down with its nose over the water. To achieve this specific goal, a sizable amount of concrete was used to secure the tail. The interior, which was roughly 1,500 square feet, was immediately demolished by her.
The aircraft measures 138 feet in length and has 76 windows.
Although the aircraft’s windows weren’t functional, as is typical of commercial aircraft, she wasn’t bothered by this because the air conditioning was working.
She upgraded the insulation and put in new flooring. What specific components of the original 727 were kept?
It is a brilliant idea to only have one airplane bathroom and overhead bins for your belongings.
The interior design.
Ussery was able to concentrate on the finer details and improved comforts once the significant changes were finished.
The remodeled jet had three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and even a laundry room.
The washer and dryer were there, but it also had a phone and an oven.
Without a doubt, Ussery’s work on the cockpit’s view of the lake was the most significant improvement.
It was transformed into a royal master bathroom with a soaking tub by her.
She designed the room’s layout to give everyone who was in it the sensation of floating.
The renovation was completed entirely by Ussery, which is especially noteworthy.
Before deciding to make her converted plane into a public museum, she lived there from 1995 to 1999.
Sadly, after being transported a short distance, it fell off the carriage and collapsed.
Matthew McConaughey Makes a Rare Appearance With His 3 Kids and They Are His Copies
54-year-old actor Matthew McConaughey was joined by his family at a recent gala. Along with his wife, his two sons and daughter, who are rarely seen in the public eye, were photographed beside him and stole the show.
Matthew and Camila McConaughey were all smiles at the gala in Austin, Texas. The gala is part of a joint effort called Mack, Jack & McConaughey (MJ&M), which includes Matthew McConaughey, football coach Mack Brown, and country artist Jack Ingram, to empower kids.
Matthew opted for a classic navy suit paired with a white shirt for the night. While his wife chose an elegant off-shoulder black dress with a sequined bodice.
The couple was also joined by their children — Levi, Vida, and Livingston. The McConaughey boys, Levi and Livingston, were dressed in sharp black suits. While Vida, echoing her mother’s style, wore a pale pink strappy gown.
Seeing the family of 5 smile brightly, many people noticed the same thing in the photos. They pointed out how the three McConaughey kids resemble their father. “…the older son has pretty much the same face as him,” commented a person. “That youngest one seems to have Matthews ’eye sparkle’ in mum’s ’eye shape and color’,” added another.
Michael Jackson’s rarely-seen kids also recently made a public appearance together, see their photos here.
