In 2019 I was living at home with my mum when I decided that I wanted my own space. I couldn’t afford a house, so instead I bought a 24-seater minibus [says Josie Rose, 30].

I needed to get rid of the seats and turn it into a livable space, but I’d never even used a drill before, so I took a weeklong course in carpentry. Five years later — including a year off during the pandemic — the transformation was complete.
