One man spent £10,000 turning a static caravan into a log cabin in just four months. Benn Berkeley, 38, lost all his work opportunities as a freelance filmmaker in 2020 due to the pandemic. At the time he was living in a villa and spending £500 a month on rent but realized he wanted a different lifestyle. In August 2020, his brother took over a farm that had a static caravan on it and asked Benn if he wanted it. Despite admitting it was a ‘fixer-upper’, Benn jumped at the chance and set to work clearing out the caravan in September 2020. Since then, he had transformed it into a self-contained log cabin in four months – spending £10,000 on renovations . Benn said he did everything but the electrical and plumbing himself after learning everything on YouTube.
