Thank you to everyone that has replied to my questions on Quonset huts.
While wasting time on Google Earth, I came across a plane parked in the woods.
On further research, I found out that a guy lives in the plane - a 727.
Which led to me researching plane homes.

This Wikipedia page has some really eye opening claims :

The entire project costs less than most suburban homes and requires less maintenance. Also there might be no mortgage on the property which means the owner will own their home without debt sooner. It is also a good home for first time buyers because it is inexpensive as well as a full size house. In addition to low building costs it is inexpensive to heat and cool. The fuselage is designed to be well insulated because aircraft fuselages must hold up to extreme cold at high altitudes.[6]
The average cost to build varies from about $35,000 to $55,000. This comprises the plane, land, plumbing, electrical, heating/air conditioning, and the cost of transporting the plane from the scrap yard.

Is this just someone trolling on Wikipedia ?
Surely it can't be this cheap.
One of the main reasons I was attracted to a Quonset hut is because it looks like an aircraft hangar.
I'm crazy about planes, so naturally I'd love to actually live in one.
Anyone have any guesses if this is a real thing or not ?
I'd love to get a section of 747 and live in that, but I suspect that would cost a fortune.
Look at the room a 747 has :
So possibly a 737 passenger section split down the middle with a raised roof ?
