Man beats housing crisis by moving into skip kitted out with bed, mini fridge and hob

A man has revealed his ingenious way to beat the cost of living crisis - by moving into a converted skip. Harrison Marshall plans to spend the next year living in the unusual shelter which has been kitted out with a bed, mini fridge and hob.

Posting on his dedicated Instagram SKIP House, he told how he decided to take a stand against the unaffordable housing problem in London. Entry to the home is made through a small door and ladder, leading into the living and kitchen area, which as you would expect is quite small.

While having access to a fridge and cooking facilities, the 28-year-old admits that he does have some very friendly neighbours who sometimes bring him hot meals. Upstairs is his bedroom which just consists of a bed with a window, BristolLive reports.
