The idea of living in a windmill is romantic, but there are problems. First, all the rooms are round, so it is more
difficult to find furniture. Windmills are also more isolated than other houses. That’s fine if you want a quieter life, but visiting
friends is not easy.

London double-decker buses make practical homes. They are better than most buses, because they are bigger and

place, you can just start up the engine and move somewhere else.
