A Fairytale Home In The Woods: Das Aussteigerpaar Kai und Ben lebt in ihrem umgebauten Truck in den Wäldern von British Columbia

WORDS BYLINE: Andrea Caknis
**EDITORS NOTE: We cannot use her surname**
If you go into the woods of British Columbia today you could be in for a big surprise.
You might just find parked up for the night a truly magical truck with a handcrafted house built on to its back.
The International 4800, a beast of a vehicle originally made for off-road utility work, has been reborn as a whimsical, wood-fired, off-grid sanctuary.
It took five years to create after it was bought in 2013 by a woman who made the project her labour of love.
“I called it The Ugly Truckling because I always loved the story of the ugly duckling,” says the creator of the fantasy mobile home who likes to be known simply as Kai.
“I was an awkward, weird kid. Honestly, I’m an awkward, weird adult. But like the duckling, the truck started off ugly, and it grew into something I think is secretly beautiful.”
From the outside, the house truck looks like something out of a Disney dream.
Cedar shake siding wraps the entire frame, salvaged century-old windows add soul and light, and a hand-built Dutch door with curved stained glass makes the entryway look like it belongs on a woodland fairy tale set.
“When I first moved in, it didn’t have electricity, running water, or plumbing. It was just a box on wheels. I slowly built everything around me,’ says Kai, who is in her thirties.
“Now, it has most modern amenities. It’s not finished, but it’s comfortable, and its mine.
“I made that door myself. I used old glass with air bubbles in it to mimic historic pub windows. I wanted it to feel alive, like a house that evolved over time, not just something an architect plonked down.”
Inside, every inch of the 200-square-foot interior is bursting with detail and character. There’s a round window that Kai also made by hand, after discovering that buying one would cost her a whopping £3 700 ($5 000).
“I thought, ‘No way,’ so I just taught myself how to build on *** Local Caption *

FEATURE - Andy Jennings hat einen neuen Guinness-Weltrekord für die schnellste Mülltonne über 100m aufgestellt

Andy Jennings, 28, has set a new Guinness World Record for the fastest speed in a wheelie bin over 100m. He reached a speed of 43.35, pictured at Elvington Airfield, Sep 27 2020. A wacky design engineer is delighted to have set a new Guinness World Record after reaching speeds of over 40mph - in a WHEELIE BIN.
Andy Jennings, 28, transformed his green household waste bin into a racing machine - complete with a small motorbike engine, a gear box, ignition, a bike seat, and the steering from a mobility scooter.
And yesterday (Sunday), Andy hit the tarmac in his rigged-out bin to attempt to set his brand new world record.
Guinness World Record officials set Andy a benchmark of over 30mph in order to secure the record for fastest wheelie bin.
But the engineer, from Swindon, Wilts., smashed his goal - and stormed down the runway at Elvington Airfield in Yorkshire, at a whopping 43mph.
Andy's impressive record was just one of several landspeed records broken at Elvington Airfield on Sunday, at an event organised by motorsport racing company Straightliners.
Racing down the runway as well as Andy was the world's fastest motorised toilet (44.6mph), and the world's fastest garden shed (at an impressive 106.1mph).
But one of the true "stars of the show" was self-confessed 'adrenaline junkie' Jason Liversidge, 44, who reached speeds of almost 65mph in a motorised wheelchair - despite being 95 per cent paralysed.
Both Andy and Jason were "chuffed" to have smashed the targets set for them by Guinness World Record officials.
Andy, whose world record attempt was in memory of his best friend Ben Ellis, who passed away in June, said: "It's been a great day all round.
"I got my record, with 45.35mph - which is well above the target I was set *** L
