I bought the bus in April for a bargain price of $4,360 (£3,250). I've spent about $5,400 (£4,000) on top of that so far, but I think altogether I'll spend about $20,000 (£15,000).

Before I bought a double decker London bus, I completed another unusual property project. My dad has a caravan park and we had an old caravan and an old shipping container, so I created a container house where I stuck them together; it was a botch job really! On the outside it looked really awful, but when you walked through the door the interior was absolutely gorgeous.

From there, I started searching for buses. I'm a delivery driver so I knew of a vehicle garage close to me that had quite a few double decker buses. I popped in to see if they had any for sale, and they rang me a couple of days later saying they had a double decker London bus I could look at. I bought it in April for a bargain price of $4,360 . It only had one tiny leak where I think a branch had hit the top corner; inside was immaculate.

At the beginning of October, I moved the bus to a prettier space a bit closer to my mom's home. It's more of a forest area, hidden off a main road and we can connect to mains here, so my electrician has come in to update the bus so it can be powered by both solar and electricity.The upper deck of Hayley's double decker bus renovation.

At the back of the first floor there will be a long sofa and a table. The ceilings downstairs are a lot higher, so I was thinking of making a table on rope that you can wind up so it sits on the ceiling. You only sit at the table for an hour of the day so I don't see the point in there being a table there all the time.

I've spent about $5,400 on top of the cost of the bus so far, but I think altogether I'll spend about $20,000 . If I had to buy everything I'm using from the container house again, it would still only cost about $27,000 in total.
