This has got to be the nicest, small houseboat I've ever seen. Beautiful craftsmanship. Richard, you should win a award for your practical, elegant design.
ou have been decieved, this isn't built by one man who does this as a hobby. go check out the website listed, this boat is made from a professional company
Nice to see people who still appreciate fine craftsmanship. Anyone in need of such in the mid Atlantic coastal area can contact me at jasonpowellcraftsman@live.com
until you hit a reef or a serious squall. can only imagine seeing a camper floating on the water. farewell all you fair spanish ladies jaws here we come! lmao.
@@willwarro4054 that's why you get a boat gps with fish finder. Its equipped with a sonar that tells you the dept of the water or obstacles in the water.
As a homeless vet on social security disability, I've been Thinking about something like this. Seriously. Ain't easy living on 1,100.00 a month. It's got a toilet and shower, awesome. Bob
The joy of life! I like the fact that you randomly drove past this houseboat! It just happened and that's just as inspiring as the houseboat itself! :D
FYI, that probably had more to do with the fact he lives, and builds these, on the Ottawa river where the provincial jurisdiction on the other side of the river (Ontario) does not permit the type of water pollution Quebec is known for allowing.
Hey All! Just to clear up any confusion about the water system on this boat: greywater from the sink and shower are filtered before going into the body of water. The toilet on board is a dry toilet and is not being dumped in the body of water. Toilet waste is referred to as blackwater. Sorry for any confusion :)
You guys there are awesome. You even filter the gray water before dumping it into body of water. Over here, we dump black water straight to lake or river like that... embarrassing I know...
@@casekocsk where do you live? I'm surprised by that. This guy and others that I have seen do it right !!!! Geez haven't we damaged the earth enough. And if your allowed to do that where your from shouldn't you still do what this guy Richard did for his house boat and the water? Just curious where your from, not shading you. Blessings to all and have a great day and everyday after !
Thank you for the tour. You can see Richard put love into this, and has some serious skills. I would love to live on this boat for the summer, or forever!

Congratulations, well done and thought out! An expert and truly amazing craftsman! One of the best tiny homes I've ever seen. Thanks for inviting us in!
Just wow. This is nothing short of amazing! He turned a run of the mill pontoon boat into something very special. Definitely has a god given gift and skill. Richard is a woodworking and engineering wizard!
I'm horrified every 24 hours....to know that a BILLION more plastic bottles were wasted.........when we could just net them all together and create a million FLOATING ISLANDS or Houseboat Platforms! I love this guy's fancy houseboat, but I far prefer BOHEMIAN and COMFY and CHEAP and EASY to fancy. For van life, I just bought a $2000 2003 Chevy Astro PASSENGER van and it took 40 seconds to remove the 2 back bench seats. TA-DA! It's already insulated and finished! I then spent about $100 on xmas lights and Gold Glitter curtains (cuz the van is all windows like most Passenger Vans!) and I put another rug in and I sleep in a quilt and EVERYONE goes nuts for my van. I also put a small Ludwig Jr drumkit in it (!!) and have battery amps and other musical instruments and I can practice ANYWHERE I WANT any day (and strangers always throw cash at me!) and jam or record with strangers or friends! I had no interest in a sink or kitchen or toilet...... (but then, I use the van along the New England seacoast; i'm not in deserts in the middle of nowhere).... HOW OFTEN do ppl use SINKS or KITCHENS?? Not that often! Why take up space in a vehicle, for things you don't use more than a few times per day???
@@thekraken1173 but i'm not talking about "RECYCLING" (which is a total lie by lying liars) (and useless for the environment). I'm talking about RE-USING STUFF and taking advantage of its DURABILITY.

Hi Matt, Just saw this today 4/4/20. Excellent video!!! I LOVE CANADIAN"S!!! Tribute to human ingenuity. Richard is a genius. PLUS a thoughtful conservationist. Cathy M. PA/USA
Wow, stunning work of functional Art! This man is an amazingly gifted craftsman with a sharp eye for beauty. Brilliant little home build!!! I want to move in asap!
Richard could make a wealthy living building these. I consider myself pretty crafty with wood but not as quit as good as Richard. lol WOW!! I'm highly impressed. Cheer's!!
Beautiful!!! His attention to detail and Outstanding Craftsmanship!!!! Just the right size!!! Nice deck size!! I like the Larger one also...if you entertain friends and family!!!
I would love one exactly like this for my husband and dog to travel & live in for a year. Absolutely beautifully designed, crafted. What a talented fellow. I wonder what it would have cost him to bring this all together? such craftsmanship and love went into crafting this houseboat.
That's so AWESOME! I just converted a Mercedes Sprinter van into a class "b" motorhome. This looks like my NEXT project. Thank you so much for sharing.
Shane.....I'd have to wonder....just what is your intent with a comment such as yours? Just because the 'state' or whoever has a minimum standard for grey water......does not necessarily mean that it is worthy and appropriate!! Maybe, (and quite probably), the boat builder's grey water filtration system should become the new standard in Quebec?!
Larry Slemp You know exactly what my comment meant: that he exceeded the government requirement -- something that clearly many people don't do. No need to be obtuse.
Awesome find thanks for stopping to check this out ! Richard has done a excellent job , well thought out. As I approach retirement one of my dreams is to build a floating fishing cabin like what Richard had created with solar on the roof to power a mini fridge lights and a small 500 watt A/C unit for the cabin . This is pure inspiration and will check his website . Well Done !
Wow, I have always loved the look and feel of beautifully, crafted woodwork, and to top it all off, there would be no monthly RV rent or property taxes, if you lived in it. Good job, Richard! Must have cost a sizable fortune to create.
Seeing this house boat ,as it arrived at the dock, makes you want one at first site. A place for everything and everything in its place. He truly is a master craftsman, very enjoyable.

Agreed. That was my first thought also .
Except for the bed. It looks horribly uncomfortable and too small to fully stretch out.
100% Agree!
This is the only tiny house boat i have ever seen

The reflection of the water bouncing off the golden wood walls inside is everything...I'm in love with this little houseboat ♡
Marry me Penny!

The wood work is just beautiful.
This builder has an artist heart. Such attention to aesthetic composition and done in a very effective living space design.
Respect for the man who built this.
And thanks for making the video.
The man has great taste in aesthetics and a beautiful design ethic.
This has to be, hands down, the best house boat build I've ever seen. I'd totally move into one just like it in a heartbeat.
"I'm in awe!!!!".... Not only a craftsman, and designer, he is an artist!

Pete so? The body of water is not drinkable neither...
There are two types of people. Those who pee in the shower, and damn dirty liars.
I can visualize the hours and hours of work into making this, it is the most remarkable floating tiny house I have ever seen!
He did an excellent job. This is probably the best home made houseboat I have ever seen. The woodwork is beautiful. Great job Richard!

Amazing!!!! The only thing I would add is a woodstove for the cooler weather. Beautifully designed and created. Thank you for sharing!
Not sure why, when there's a propane stove already, unless you like storing the wood and cleaning up ashes.

Thats a great bit of kit, hats off to the guy that built it, dude you did good man :)
Amazing what he got into so little space. Inspirational for someone who is trying to go tiny.

I would happily live on the boat full time.. with my parrot 😀🤸
I'm sure my little parrot would love it as well. This boat is a life goal right here.
@Jaromir Dub exactly!
Amazing craftsmanship
I would submit that this is unequivocally superior in both design esthetics and build quality to anything on the market. He needs to build for us!
Awesome! Someone should start manufacturing something like this for the public to purchase. VERY COOL. Thanks for sharing.
That's an amazing custom job! Awesome
Wow he did an amazing job. Real craftsman.

He’s a fly fisherman. Clearly he cares about trying to not negatively impact his environs. Simple system.
