Many people will be able to relate to Bruce Campbell dedicating time and effort into creating his dream home.

But fewer will understand when he reveals his future home is a 727-200 aircraft tucked away in the woods of Oregon.

Describing the plane as a ‘bird that’s meant to fly’, Campbell proudly gave CNN reporters a grand tour around his unusual choice of home.

That would be so much fun to do, but I'd want to do it with a 747.

I always wanted to buy and old countryside church and convert it into a single family residence.
