While working on the jet plane, mice took over the freight vans where Campbell had made his home. Now he had no other option—he moved into the Boeing, even though he still did not have a building permit.

During an interview for Mirror, Campbell talked at length about his passion for upcycling, saying that, “shredding a beautiful and scintillating jetliner is a tragedy in waste, and a profound failure of human imagination.” While the idea of living alone in the middle of the woods might seem lonely to most, Campbell does not see it that way, instead believing that planes have an “engineering grace unmatched by any other structures people can live within.”
