An Ethiopian man has built a home out of his beloved freight transporter truck: a three-bedroom flat that has everything he needs to live comfortably.
Abinet Tadesse’s new home comprises three bedrooms, two living rooms, three bathrooms and a big balcony.
To Tadesse, living in a house he has built himself is a big deal as it gives him comfort and joy.
“I am very happy to have implemented my ideas and invested them on my property. There’s no greater happiness than living in what you’ve built yourself,” he stated.
The innovative man now no longer has to worry about the burden that comes along with not owning a home.
Speaking to BBC News, the man revealed that he found the inspiration from his habit of eating from his truck stating that he can move about in the comfort of his house.
“I like eating and spending time in my car. That’s what inspired me to build a house on this truck,” he said.
Tadesse revealed that the construction job was not easy as it took him three years to set it up.
"There is no greater happiness than living in what you've built yourself."
