Michael bought this old van

迈克尔买了这辆旧货车

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.”

如果你认为自己喜欢冒险，再想想。这个人叫迈克尔，今年28岁，他的大部分时间都是开着各种各样的车周游世界，有时他把这些车叫做家。他在23岁时造了他的第一辆公共汽车。“我想建自己的房子，但我买不起房子。”

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

那原本是一辆救护车，但后来被用来运送假草

“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.

“一辆公共汽车只有集装箱那么大，只不过它更便宜，而且有引擎。不仅如此，很多人都有这样的借口:“我不能做我想做的事情，因为我有租约。”他在接受Bored Panda网站采访时表示:“住在车里给了你这种灵活性，让你可以对更多的东西说‘是’(此外，免租金的生活还能给你带来更多的零花钱)。”

With the idea of making a house out of it

用它来造房子的想法

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，他还是一名插画师，他说他的插画技巧肯定有助于规划过程，并看到了室内设计/建筑和插画之间的联系。但实际上，他希望开始全职生产汽车，并在出售他目前的项目时，考虑到更大的想法。

It took 4 months of constructing after work and on weekends

用了4个月的时间在下班后和周末进行改造

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”.

几个月前，他开始考虑是时候下车，给自己建一个新的车轮上的房子了。因此，他卖掉了自己的面包车，在Craigslist网站上找到了这个“正在出售的漂亮的、四四方方的庞然大物”。

To finish up with this project

完成这个项目

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.

他称之为庞然大物,1992年福特e - 350,用来作为在田纳西州一个小镇的救护车进入一个相当古怪的高端的阿斯特罗草皮的公司，此外，奥斯汀驾驶它从一个工地到另一个地方来卷人造草坪和各种工具。这家公司买了更适合他们使用的东西后，把那辆旧救护车停了下来。
