If You Dream It, You Can Do It

On 4th November, it is reported by Daily Mail that a public latrine had been changed into a sea view Villa by a couple in England. Both of the two people are common workers. The couple yearned for a sea view villa on the north beach like most people. The difference is that their wish came true.

Five years ago, the abandoned public latrine was for rent of 15000 pounds. It occurred for the couple that they could rent it and then change it into a beautiful sea view villa. The public latrine has about one hundred years of history. Since the completion of the latrine, it had been provided convenience for local people and tourists. During the Second World War, it had been used as an arsenal for a period of time. After the Second World War, it still had been used as a public latrine. Until the 1990s of the last century, someone rented it and changed it into a seafront café after a simple decoration.

The couple learned that the lease is seven years with 15000 pounds rent. And they immediately found the local Council to discussion the related matters and expressed their plans. The transformation plan had been approved by the local Council. And then they negotiated with the committee members to renew the lease to 21 years. After the seven-year lease expired, they still could rent it at the cost of 1800 pounds each year.

After the negotiation, the couple began to embark on the decoration of the public latrine. At first, rubbles were used to fill the old drain. They increased girders in the roof to reinforce the original oak beams. And then they changed the men’s room into the living room white the women’s room into the bedroom and bathroom. They even installed the heating system under the floor. Under their exquisite design and plan, the public latrine successfully changed into a sea saw villa with beautiful scenery.

They bought some paint to freshen the walls inside and outside the house. When they finished the transformation, they bought some plain homely furniture and decoration online to prepare for the residence in the new house.

They said that the total expense of the whole transformation and decoration is about 35000 pounds. Right now, they can enjoy the beautiful scenery in the North Sea everyday. Soon after, their sea view villa became a unique scene at the local scenic spot. There are three people who want to purchase the house.
