Bargain of the century - silo house bought by man for just ?1
Bob, fueled by "a few beers," managed to snag the old grain silo for a mere ?1 (Rs 105), as mentioned in a YouTube video on Living Big In A Tiny House. Little did they know that this spontaneous decision would lead them down an unexpected path of transformation and contentment.
Initially intended as an artwork, the silo soon became the canvas for Bob and Carol's unconventional housing project. With a modest investment of ?4,000 (Rs 4.22 lakh), they embarked on the journey of converting the industrial structure into a cosy sanctuary they now call home.
Despite Carol's initial reservations, the couple dove headfirst into the endeavour, driven by a shared sense of adventure and the allure of creating something truly unique. As Bob reminisces, "I was thinking a couple weeks would be absolutely fine... but yeah, about five-and-a-half years."
Their tiny haven, nestled amidst nature's embrace, stands four meters tall with a diameter matching its height. Inside, every nook and cranny bears the mark of Bob's ingenuity and craftsmanship.

The heart of their home is a fireplace ingeniously crafted from an old gas bottle, radiating warmth and charm throughout the space. A dining table, repurposed from a saw blade embedded in concrete, serves as a testament to Bob's resourcefulness and creativity.
Eco-friendly approach during renovation
Sustainability takes center stage in their renovation journey, with recycled plastic insulation and repurposed pallets forming the backbone of their eco-friendly dwelling. Even the walls boast a rustic charm, constructed from bricks fashioned out of reclaimed pallet wood.
