It left me feeling utterly overwhelmed...

When I decided to invest into an off grid vehicle, I looked into it properly, but it was Dean's video of his House-Box truck that confirmed to me that I wanted a TK. I contacted him many months later with the news that I was now the owner of a 1973 Bedford TK. A date was arranged for work to be carried out. We bounced ideas off of each other and although I had very strong views on the style I wanted, I soon learned that I had to come down to earth and live in reality, but with the help of Dean's infectious enthusiasm and being able to think out of the box, things started to formulate together and the "Kaya-Box" was well on it's way to becoming something quite extra-ordinary. Although Dean has had a huge impact on the design and all the gubbins that has gone into creating an amazing home, none of it would have been possible without the help of his side-kicks in the name's of Jakey, Ed and Speedy. They haven't just been the supportive muscle but they have brought added encouragement, brains and most importantly humour and camaraderie throughout the whole project. I was meant to be far more involved with the build of the Kaya-Box, however, fortunately for the guy's I decided that it would be better to leave it to the professionals, and after a few months, I made my last trip down to the workshop, as the Kaya box project was finally finished. And when I finally saw my new home completed it left me feeling utterly overwhelmed. It had been a very emotional journey however when taking on a project of this magnitude you can't expect it not to be emotional. What stood before me was no longer a converted horse box, it was something far far more beautiful than that, it was a home, a palace, a castle ...it was "freedom". The House-Box team had turned a dilapidated stinky old horse box that still had straw and various other depositories in it into a thing of beauty, so much so I was actually speechless and in awe of what the guy's had achieved when I stood inside my new home. The guy's at House-Box exceeded my expectations on this project ...seriously ! And further to that, because so much time, effort, heart and soul had gone into this project, new friendships have been formed. That is testament to their amazing characters, skills, craftsmanship, attention to detail, infinite amount of knowledge and also the passion for creating something extraordinary. I can't recommend the guy's highly enough. Thank you so much for all you have done.
Look forward to seeing you soon !
