Bryce you are so good at interviewing people. No awkwardness and everyone always looks comfortable talking with you. You have done so much for the tiny house community.
I agree with this, you are an awesome interviewer - always emphasizing the uniqueness of a project rather than criticizing it, being genuinely curious and caring about the people and projects you're featuring.
Essentially Crystal Yes, i totally agree :) in many cases, especially with RUclips channels, the person interviewing makes it weird and unnatural. But here, it’s just like 2 friends talking, like there are no camera there, just as it should be! Found this channel by accident, and subscribed immediatley :)
You cant find them becoz such thing simply DOES NOT exist. The next closest things I can thing of are some seafood restaurants on floating platforms in China.
Decided to take a last minute trip in Jan to catch up with a friend. I was standing no more than 5 meters away setting up the jet skiis when I saw this house boat. It was instant love and I haven't stopped thinking about it since. I can't believe I'm seeing this. It's a sign.....I'm going to sell my Sydney home, buy myself one of these, live a stress free life!
@@joeltee9894 Your first comment did not seem to come from a placed of humor but rather sarcasm. There is a difference and could be taken in two ways. No need to go down the nasty trail to say I have no sense of humor. Not nice.
GREAT job AGAIN Bryce!! Many years ago when I was a young man, my parents (rest their souls) owned a relatively small house boat and man I had so many good times on that baby. I loved being on it - slow powering through the rivers and just sitting someplace and enjoying & taking in the views. So many fond memories. Thanks again Bryce - take care my friend. ;)
I love this houseboat design, and the way it looks lit up at night is magical. It's also magical how the folks in the marina have skills to walk and ride bikes backwards 13:25! Thanks for another great video Bryce.
I have a new obsession with houseboats and was wondering how to choose between living in a tiny house or a houseboat. Problem solved. This houseboat is amazing.
I would prefer a tiny house over a house boat. Mainly because houses are on land and you won’t get sea sick. Also, house boats may potentially sink if there was a fail in architecture or if someone were to make a hole. Not only that, you may have to purchase a private sanctuary on a lake for security as keeping your house on a public lake is very risky and comes with consequences I would not be willing to face at any time such as an active shooter who can easily shoot your boat due to public lakes being open to fit tourists who may want to go for a ride on a boat or maybe even someone like you, a person with a house boat. Not saying your final choice should be a tiny house but I would recommend that choice.
If you build it right, and light, it's easy to have both. That's what I'm doing now. Design well, and all you're doing is trading a Tiny House foundation for Pontoons or a hull.
Seattle has an entire neighborhood of floating homes! It's really cool. They're on fresh water though, so not as much salt water corrosion, but the salt water is still close by. I've dreamed of living in one ever since watching Sleepless in Seattle.
i love those ones over in Fremont area. right there under the bridge. i always wondered if they had OPEN spaces to rent if i built a house boat?? to moor a BIG boat it's up to $700. Seattle would be ideal for houseboat because ALL the waterways are connected! you would have to find out all the places you could dock the houseboat daily, weekly, etc....
Actually more than one neighborhood. You are probably thinking about the very tony docks on Lake Union where Sleepless In Seattle was filmed. Which is crazymaking in its activity. There are others along the ship canal, but my favorites are along the Duwamish Slough. While those are mostly industrial in nature, some are near or adjacent to reclaimed and restored small riparian nature preserves where wildlife, particularly shorebirds, are returning. I have one friend who lives that way, and another friend, a native American, who helped spearhead some of that ongoing restoration. Best of both worlds.
I'm from Seattle. Born and raised in the suburbs. I know how expensive it is here. I've looked at house boats for sale. They range from $100,000 to $300,000 for a couple bedrooms and a place to moor. If you want a house boat that actually looks like a house, or has more bedrooms, more bathrooms, is maybe bigger in square footage, has a party deck, maybe more than one floor, yeah, the price is going to jump up into regular house prices and higher, like into the millions.
Bryce ..Thank you man....I am just obsessed with watching tiny house building 24/7(until my phone reminds me that it needs to get charged :P)...Iam 24 and it's one of the creative source that teaches me a true way to live & enjoy life...My future home will definitely reflect all the tiny house ideas & minimalist living
11:16 - Sales Pitch! Price is generally $220K-$230K upwards. PLUS: (lots of mess about trying to live cheaper) Berthing prices are quotes as $200-$300 per week. That's $1200 per month to rent a hole to put your tiny home in. I love the idea, this is just absurd!
1200$ a Month will also get you an Appartment even in very expansive cities. Where I live - and of course rents aren't cheap here either - you'll most likely get 100+m² in the city center. 1200$ a Month for Rent AND you gotta maintain the "building" yourself and pay for all the repairs. It's certainly god damn cool, but this falls more under the category "rich mans dreams"
Love the design but wonder if sliding flywire screens could also be added. Mosquitoes and flies would make life very uncomfortable, not to mention spiders and snakes dropping by if you were moored near the bush on a river somewhere. Thanks for this Bryce. Love your channel.
I totally agree with the upper deck. It's either too hot or too cold and it can get really windy. The lower deck is more than sufficient plus you're close to the water and you can close up those windows if you want to. Interesting concept!
I absolutely love the host's attitude - in all the videos I've seen to date, he's always wide eyed with a huge smile and super friendly and amazed, I love it Oh and of course this tiny house is awesome!
Bryce! You have literally one of the coolest channels. I have been watching your videos for almost a year now. You make them so personable and intricate. Your enthusiasm keeps me on edge.Keep up the hard work and thank you for doing what you do!!
Nice rooms. But you have to walk outside to pass between rooms? What if it's raining? And going from a bedroom to the bathroom at night? And what about security and privacy? I guess you'd have to be ok with living partially outside all the time year round despite weather or location.
I would imagine that rain and privacy is the least of their concerns living in a house boat. In terms of security, it's probably the same ad those that live on conventional boats and yachts. It seems they're docked near other boat owners in an area specific to those living in similar settings.
I am jealous. I want this house because it is floating. So romantic...The master bedroom was too open. Better half open and not facing the land when sleeping. I like privacy.. Thank you Bryce & Rasa for sharing the video.
This man and his builder's combined intelligence is just out of this world That master bedroom is to die for And the clever use of space of a triple bunk.. Genius
Love to live in a tiny house most of your video which I love it. This tiny house looks good too, but don't want to live in a water. Maybe for a couple of weeks but definetly not permanent.
A beautiful house boat and again a very professional video. Some years ago we rent a similar boat and traveld around for a few weeks. It's a special way of traveling and recreative for body and soul. Greetings from Germany :)
It has curtains and doors which close. It isn't his boat anymore. He built it over 10 years ago he said and the people who bought it look like they were camera shy, so he did the tour.
HAHAHAHAHAH !!!! Bryce tell the truth.. how many times did you want to chuck this guy off the deck ?? Has he ever been on a cruise ship before? has he ever seen the boats these days??... Its nice for him but i know that there could definitly be more creativity here and not just roof with typical rooms??.... The affordability yes... congratulations but i reckon the TOP deck would have made such a huge difference... even just for a small wine deck.. with a slide a slipper slide down to the water ..thanks Bryce but this one definitely not a fav.
Living with the beauty of such quality bespoke features on the boat, as well as those trillion dollar views, would be truly soul-fulfilling. Thank you for another awesome journey into different ways of living.
I have to admit though I love being on the water, this isn’t my favorite. Awkward going outside to go from room to room and it’s a bit tacky to me. Price is high too.
(no bragging just sharing an experience I experienced once in my life) when I was 15 I once stayed on a house boat for one day one night and let me tell you it was amazing. It was just like this boat, 3 bedrooms one kitchen (seperately) a large living room and one staff room. My bedroom had a huge window covering one whole wall. It was beautiful watching the water just flow laying on my bed. We were 3 small families sharing a boat and no it was not conjusted ☹️. It was easily my most luxurious experience. Edit- we had our own washrooms What would I give to experience it one more time 😭
I used to laugh living on a sailboat in California, surrounded by 3 to 10 million dollar houses and watching the owners of those houses looking down at me in my 2,000,00 boat paying 300.00 a month to live there.
Love everything about it except having to access every room, including the bathroom from the outside. That defeats the whole purpose of having a houseboat. I would want to close everything up & flow between rooms as needed.
I love the style of this beautiful boat! It certainly catches my attention and living in something like this would be a delightful experience! All thumbs up for the designer and you for sharing this video with us! 👍👍👍👍👍❣️
Living Big In A Tiny House Thank YOU for showing us new, inspiring places like this every week. High quality content is rare on youtube and everybody is happy about channels like this.👌
Maarten Jongkind yeah, but I feel like most modern Dutch house boats aren't really independently moving boats anymore, but actual houses that need to be moved by other boats, which so happen to be in water. At least the ones I've been on 😄 Of course there are still the older boats that can actually go places tho :D
Hi Maarten, you are correct as in Holland many people live on Housboats/Woonboot! Me included. Some forty years ago! I bought it when I got married and our first 6 years of marriage was spend on this houseboat. It was great, although ours couldn't move (it was permanently situated in that spot) but for that we got access to Electricity and Town water! And because it was permanently situated opposite a grain silo, we had new neighbours every week. These were the boats that came to unload their grains and than moved on again! The life on a houseboat is awesome! We had a balcony where our bicycles were kept but also gave us the room to fish or swim from. Actually we could fish from every room we had, by opening the windows! Living room, Kitchen, Dining room and even Bedroom! One extreme thing I would like to mention is that growing plants (...oh, no not those type Lol, ....but maybe you could????) but just the ones you put in the window, and anything else that is colour sensitive, would either struggle or thrive in these conditions! This is, because of the double reflection of the sun rays; 1) directly from the sun. or 2) second, the reflection of the sun-rays from the water! And that is amazing to watch!!!! Many plants will grow twice as big and fast, while others just shrivel up and burn. I'd live on a houseboat forever, if I had the opportunity.
me. You're right but there's also a company actually renting out real movable houseboats. They're super cozy with a fireplace on board, build on pontoons.
Interesting but i have questions. 1) What happens in any event which makes the water rough and choppy? 2) Are the maintenance costs high? 3) Don't you feel a bit too open, as in you have no actual private areas really?
As he mentioned in the video it’s designed to be able to deal with waves and wash. Just like any boat though, it’ll rock around in the waves. As for maintenance costs, it’s a boat which means the cost of maintaining would certainly be more than a home on land. Salt water is a harsh environment! The whole boat has blinds that can pull down, so you can make it as open or private as you choose.
I was going to argue that it is not a boat...it is a”float home”... ...but ..damn....they have motors on that thing ! It IS a “house boat” !!! 👍👍💕. 🍹🍹🍹
So the only entrance to the bathroom is from the outside? Why?!?! That forces you to get dressed just to poop/shower/whatever? Who wants to toss on all your clothes just to shower?
FYI, Bryce---In MN there are houseboats in the Voyageurs National Park near the Canadian border.. You can rent them. And they are taken out of the water in the late Fall (on a boat hoist). Also you do see other lakes in the Boundary Waters area of MN with houseboats And there are houseboats on the Mississippi River too.
I love this guy's enthusiasm and upbeat character. The boat is awesome but I'm not sure about the shower only having a bit of frosted glass for privacy from...well, the world and it's mother! 🥺😆
I think I would have parked it in forward so the bedroom had the view out the back and the lounge was looking at the carpark, even if I was not staying there for long haha. Wonderful little house boat though!
tiny houses always cost more per sq. ft. yet still less overall. It's a pattern that I've seen repeated over and over while watching many tiny house videos.
@@charlesj.easleyii7642 I guess it's because the floating platform with twin outboards cost 100k alone. He did say that the average home in the area is 600k and his tiny house boats come in around 200 - 250k.
Bryce, what I love about this, is I didn't immediately get motion sickness from just looking at the boat! (that's what happens to my father pretty much)... 😁 What a beautiful home, and attention to detail in every possible way... 👍😎👍 So you always won the top bunk, eh? I guess I can see that, a man of your size... 💪😬 hahah Miss you and Rasa! 😃 Cheers! 🖤🦇
Living Big In A Tiny House I'll have to message you on Instagram, some more possible changes... a storm is a brewing and this pirates life, is ever changing! 😅 🖤🦇
Everyone from America commenting this is expensive doesn’t understand how much it costs to live in Australia. I paid $325,000 for a very tiny two bedroom cottage 30 miles from Brisbane (nearest city to where this guy is). I got an absolute bargain - the bank valued it and I could sell it today for $400,000. It’s costs to live here, but wages are higher so it evens out.
I don't know what the fuck you do for work but 400k for a tiny cottage doesn't seem like anything you can pay for or want to pay for in a reasonable time frame. Wages are higher but I strongly doubt they ''even out''.
Hold yer horses, Markus. Baby steps, ok? No need to cut off your whole arm. Cut off your hand. Then save up for a hook and a parrot. That'll set you up for life on the sea.
built it here in the philippines. Labor is cheap. You could probable make one with 8000usd. About the engine, you could probably make one from old diesel cars. Only downside. It would be loud. But cheap.
Ever since I saw the "Tammy" movie in 1957, I wanted to live simply on a house boat. I haven't made it yet but this is perfect. This is a smart guy. Thanks for showing us this incredible home.

he talked, a lot.
IS MAJA SALVADOR RELATED TO JANINE
I love how cheerily he shares that he was inspired by Japanese brothels.
Yes, and I was disappointed to find nothing on line about how they looked. I suppose rather like a floating version of Amsterdam's red light district?
Japanese brothels inspire everything.
You cant find them becoz such thing simply DOES NOT exist. The next closest things I can thing of are some seafood restaurants on floating platforms in China.
Haha true🤣

Just to buy food and meet Bryce. After that they move to a quiet place for the night.
Bryce! You have literally one of the coolest channels. I have been watching your videos for almost a year now. You make them so personable and intricate. Your enthusiasm keeps me on edge.Keep up the hard work and thank you for doing what you do!!

Nice rooms. But you have to walk outside to pass between rooms? What if it's raining? And going from a bedroom to the bathroom at night? And what about security and privacy? I guess you'd have to be ok with living partially outside all the time year round despite weather or location.
Yeah, there should've been a corridor down the middle
Something tells me you live in a city.
Not everyday people rob a boat
I would imagine that rain and privacy is the least of their concerns living in a house boat. In terms of security, it's probably the same ad those that live on conventional boats and yachts. It seems they're docked near other boat owners in an area specific to those living in similar settings.
daym you should live near to a police station.
Oh wow, the master bedroom is so gorge, look at the high bed and the views of the.....car park
It is moored and moveable. Whine louder.
Really bad design...way too much money. I wouldn't be able to sleep knowing someone could easily sneak on board.
We are a family of 5 living on a boat and traveling. We just moved abroad and love it. New friend here.
Wow! Time sure does fly and such a small world. Was looking at comments and say you guys. Have followed your journey
Eh, for weekends maybe, but as far as privacy and security go, this is nothing for me, especially if moored at a pier next to a parking lot....
I'm wondering if he just opened everything out for the video
Yeah, imagine getting woken up by the loud fishermen pushing their boats into the water at 5am each morning. No thanks.
But there is also a door on the dock that probably locks so if someone wanted to get to the boat they would have to swim...
@@adsensedd sounds good to me. I'm sitting with my coffee at 4:30 a.m. as I write this...

First time seeing such a beautiful tiny house boat. This house it's unique with incredible views.
Looks amazing. Making a coffee to sit down and watch my favourite show. Thanks as always Bryce.
Thanks so much Andy! Enjoy your coffee, and this episode! :)
yeahhh nice people make our world better... i just love it ! congratulations for this amazing way to conect people..
I used to laugh living on a sailboat in California, surrounded by 3 to 10 million dollar houses and watching the owners of those houses looking down at me in my 2,000,00 boat paying 300.00 a month to live there.
Great living, without complicated neighbors :)
Love everything about it except having to access every room, including the bathroom from the outside. That defeats the whole purpose of having a houseboat. I would want to close everything up & flow between rooms as needed.
Me too, it's just impractical. I've seen other boats, like Waterlodges, that are much more practical.
Now this is awesome! Built it himself. Not a giant floating mobile home! This is nice.
2:14 amazing shot, Bryce! 💙💛💜💚
It's a nice boat house with spectacular view of the harbour.
It's funny how his house designs is based on a Japanese brothel,good one mate.
not only, but the light and the view is coming into the bathroom ... definitely my kind of a dream!
I love the style of this beautiful boat! It certainly catches my attention and living in something like this would be a delightful experience! All thumbs up for the designer and you for sharing this video with us! 👍👍👍👍👍❣️
Hello Mae your smile is priceless😊
He DEFINITELY gave DREW his credit 🤗🤗🤗
What kind of climates are house boats suitable in? Could they be built to endure a Northeastern US winter?
It's all about just more isolation to suite the climate. Therefore the walls and windows just have to be a little thicker
What about freezing water (in and around the boat)?
Kay Potter no not really
Never survive anywhere in the South because of insects and snakes.
This houseboat is so beautiful!
Love this channel

I just discovered it a few days ago and I’m hooked on it😊
Me too,it's never repetitive and the ideas are limitless.
Ian's a mate of mine and I've heard about this boat a bunch of times. Great to see it in such detail!
Every Dutch person in the comments is like: "That's just a floating house, what's special about that..."
"Woonboten" are a very normal thing in the Netherlands. Not just in the canals of Amsterdam.

At least the ones I've been on 😄 Of course there are still the older boats that can actually go places tho :D
Hi Maarten, you are correct as in Holland many people live on Housboats/Woonboot! Me included.
Some forty years ago! I bought it when I got married and our first 6 years of marriage was spend on this houseboat. It was great, although ours couldn't move (it was permanently situated in that spot) but for that we got access to Electricity and Town water! And because it was permanently situated opposite a grain silo, we had new neighbours every week. These were the boats that came to unload their grains and than moved on again! The life on a houseboat is awesome! We had a balcony where our bicycles were kept but also gave us the room to fish or swim from. Actually we could fish from every room we had, by opening the windows! Living room, Kitchen, Dining room and even Bedroom! One extreme thing I would like to mention is that growing plants (...oh, no not those type Lol,
....but maybe you could????) but just the ones you put in the window, and anything else that is colour sensitive, would either struggle or thrive in these conditions! This is, because of the double reflection of the sun rays; 1) directly from the sun. or 2) second, the reflection of the sun-rays from the water! And that is amazing to watch!!!! Many plants will grow twice as big and fast, while others just shrivel up and burn. I'd live on a houseboat forever, if I had the opportunity.
Eddie Hope I know I was raised in Amstelveen, so I've seen many houseboats around there.
I live in Greece now and would love to own a houseboat here!
me. You're right but there's also a company actually renting out real movable houseboats. They're super cozy with a fireplace on board, build on pontoons.
The only reason why I would love to have a house boat, mostly for fishing and a place where my family get to enjoy a good vacation when they visit.
Floating brothels. Genius.
That master bedroom is the BEST I've ever seen!
Interesting but i have questions.
1) What happens in any event which makes the water rough and choppy?
2) Are the maintenance costs high?
3) Don't you feel a bit too open, as in you have no actual private areas really?
As he mentioned in the video it’s designed to be able to deal with waves and wash. Just like any boat though, it’ll rock around in the waves.
As for maintenance costs, it’s a boat which means the cost of maintaining would certainly be more than a home on land. Salt water is a harsh environment!
The whole boat has blinds that can pull down, so you can make it as open or private as you choose.
Life on the water maintenance maintenance maintenance
I was going to argue that it is not a boat...it is a”float home”...
...but ..damn....they have motors on that thing !
It IS a “house boat” !!! 👍👍💕. 🍹🍹🍹
In the US you can get a used house boat that size and quality for about $60k.
Where do you find them in the U.S. for sale?
Quarantine on this house boat wold be incredible
So the only entrance to the bathroom is from the outside?
Why?!?!
That forces you to get dressed just to poop/shower/whatever? Who wants to toss on all your clothes just to shower?
Just make the trip in the nuuuude.
That's how I roll
@@MegaMiir me and you both, if they didn't like what they saw....well then just don't look.
They would need a telescope 🔭 to see what I’m packing... 😏jk
@@macdaddy5796 Not with a name like Mac Daddy 😉🔭
Jennifer King 😏😎😁😛
please take that beautiful intro/ outro and make a full composition. it reminds me a bit of clocks by coldplay... feels like cool snow air.
What are those red propellor like things on the roof?
They keep the birds from landing (and pooping) on the roof.
Living Big In A Tiny House LOL wasn't expecting that answer!
many people will also have a plastic owl on their roof for the same reason.
@@livingbig how much may a tiny house project cost in India
This was too cool!
Man you really upload some works of art! Such a great house boat!
Thank-you! Glad you enjoy it. :)
FYI, Bryce---In MN there are houseboats in the Voyageurs National Park near the Canadian border.. You can rent them. And they are taken out of the water in the late Fall (on a boat hoist). Also you do see other lakes in the Boundary Waters area of MN with houseboats And there are houseboats on the Mississippi River too.
So cool! I would love to spend more time on the water, but not so crazy about feeling like I'm an exhibit on display 24/7...
1:48 he is so proud his boat is just like a Japanese brothel.....ok lol
I love this guy's enthusiasm and upbeat character. The boat is awesome but I'm not sure about the shower only having a bit of frosted glass for privacy from...well, the world and it's mother! 🥺😆
Needs to be screened in for super bug free time
Looks pretty but will need a lot of work.
This channel is change the world . Awesome and Wellcome come to Taiwan.
There are a bunch of similar houses in Serbian rivers. Bryce, you should come and see.
Milica Radović-Župunski. Any specific location? Can’t wait to visit your beautiful country!
How is it in storms?
Beautiful
Glad you like it!
I think I would have parked it in forward so the bedroom had the view out the back and the lounge was looking at the carpark, even if I was not staying there for long haha.
Wonderful little house boat though!
What's the point of a small house that costs 5 times more/Sq. Ft.?
tiny houses always cost more per sq. ft. yet still less overall. It's a pattern that I've seen repeated over and over while watching many tiny house videos.
@@deeplyclosetedindividual
Of course they do; everything's more condensed, but this particular one is quite excessive.
@@charlesj.easleyii7642 I guess it's because the floating platform with twin outboards cost 100k alone. He did say that the average home in the area is 600k and his tiny house boats come in around 200 - 250k.
@@charlesj.easleyii7642 Either way though, it's pricey...
Beautifull floating house.....
Overpriced on build but I'm in Texas so location means everything.
I just addicted to this channel
Bryce, what I love about this, is I didn't immediately get motion sickness from just looking at the boat! (that's what happens to my father pretty much)... 😁
What a beautiful home, and attention to detail in every possible way... 👍😎👍
So you always won the top bunk, eh? I guess I can see that, a man of your size... 💪😬 hahah
Miss you and Rasa! 😃
Cheers!
🖤🦇
Haha. Glad this video allowed you to keep your breakfast down. One step closer to the pirate life. Hope you’re well dude!
Living Big In A Tiny House I'll have to message you on Instagram, some more possible changes... a storm is a brewing and this pirates life, is ever changing! 😅
🖤🦇
Beautiful and perfect home ❤️😍👍🏻
Everyone from America commenting this is expensive doesn’t understand how much it costs to live in Australia.
I paid $325,000 for a very tiny two bedroom cottage 30 miles from Brisbane (nearest city to where this guy is).
I got an absolute bargain - the bank valued it and I could sell it today for $400,000. It’s costs to live here, but wages are higher so it evens out.
I don't know what the fuck you do for work but 400k for a tiny cottage doesn't seem like anything you can pay for or want to pay for in a reasonable time frame. Wages are higher but I strongly doubt they ''even out''.
I know the costs are higher there. I have a friend who lives in Australia. But the costs always surprise me too
That’s pretty cheap to me...NYC prices and all.
@@MiniM69 Yeah probably also California too. But otherwise no.
This is near Sydney, silly!
He said Hawkesbury River.
But yeah I agree with everything else.
How idyllic! This is just gorgeous. I would love to wake up with those views.
Nice design but not enough privacy. I could never live on display like that. Love the woodwork.
One might do curtains, electric blinds, etc
Think of going to sea with this... 🤣
I would fucking love the adventure
That houseboat is gorgeous but I'm having a hard time spending $250,000 for it
thats the brand new price there are a bunch available for less online
Amazing! Perfect for family vacation on the sea!
No way! No! This is a dream... I would cut my right arm off for this!
Hold yer horses, Markus. Baby steps, ok? No need to cut off your whole arm. Cut off your hand. Then save up for a hook and a parrot. That'll set you up for life on the sea.
Are you left handed? I deal exclusively in dominant hands....
why don't you use your arm to work and afford this instead of cutting that bad boy off? 😯
This type of houses actually aren't that rare. In the Netherlands there are quite a few 'woonboten' (living boats)
built it here in the philippines. Labor is cheap. You could probable make one with 8000usd. About the engine, you could probably make one from old diesel cars. Only downside. It would be loud. But cheap.
looks so easy to break into
Romantic living on the water vs. the reality of home invasion equals, live at your own risk.
lovely view of the car park
I want to live like this!
Tiny house boats are always an instant favourite for me
AMAZING design!!
Hello Monica how are you doing!!
Ever since I saw the "Tammy" movie in 1957, I wanted to live simply on a house boat. I haven't made it yet but this is perfect. This is a smart guy. Thanks for showing us this incredible home.
