The old Bedford house trucks are like New Zealand's tiny home's of yesteryear. Fortunately, this old truck has been given a brand new life and has been stunningly renovated into a beautiful tiny home. James found the house truck for sale for just $500 while he was living in his van and it was love at first sight. Working on a budget, the house truck has been lovingly restored and is now a wonderful place for James to call home. This home is packed full of character, with original renovated features as well as wonderful new character pieces in the home. All of the materials have largely been found or purchased second hand. James has a real passion for building and especially for reuse of old materials.
