    I LOVE factual stories that prove people in America still have grit, work ethics and "pioneer spirit"! They use their brains, learn skills and just face life, creating a way to "Survive and Thrive!" My husband and I bought a very rural piece of land with a shell of a half finished house on it in our early 30s, right before 9-11 happened. We finished that home and lived there, growing our food, hunting and fishing and basically living like pioneers, even heating our home with a woodstove. We also drove 100 miles round trip each day, to maintain our full-time jobs in the cities. We did it for 30 years. We paid off mortgage in 7 years, had well, septic, so only bills were electric and property taxes, vehicles gas and maintenance and insurance...we loved it!

      I think you can, if you really want to put it into action. I'm well past 80 years, been alone since my 4 kids left the nest, eons ago, so I backpacked the world for 4 years, on a widdows pension, in my 70's, then ended up 9 years ago, living in Hungary. This video has inspired me to go check out the requirements, in our local area, on the lake, where there are a lot of house boats of various sizes...some with "garage doors" under, for their jet boats to moore in!

      Hi, Brandon, Sarah, sweet story, looks fun. I would have raised the bed up in the Air over cabinets, and have storage below it. As using this whole room, build a big 7' X 7' ? U shape storage under the Bed & the top of your handmade cabinets ? would carry the bed, & both your weight while sleeping.Then your washer, dryer, extra sm fridge, & a freezer could have a location out of the way, but easy access, & way more storage for clothes, extra pots, pans, microwave, toaster oven, & other appliances, & food Storage. Get some Rolling carts, One could hold your microwave, Big toaster oven with a butcher block top to prepare food on that & can roll it away, and store under the bed. Plus way more Food storage under the bed in the cabinets. Very easy to do that. The bed could set down on top of these storage cabinets, & when sleep time, roll it all under the bed. But, maybe the bed could be set up to able to raise it up to the ceiling in the day time, as for easy access to all your storage under the bed, & sleep time lower the bed onto the top of the cabinets. ? Then you could get your Tub shower space in your Bathroom, by moving the washer dryer under the bed area. ;-)
      Your story makes me wish I was young again. Enjoy your life, it looks fun. :-)
      I have vision, as I am a Master builder, I drew out some Tiny House plans. Some of the best times in my life, as a child, I spent with my grand Parents in their 23' travel trailer. As I thought of Buying a Lot on a Lake some day, and building a Timber frame home on it, that is when I can get the $ to do it. HA, Ha, ha. . . :-)
      Maybe I can find a nice rich gal friend that likes my idea, & she can fund it, and I can build it. ;-)
      P.S. If you put up a few clothes lines outside, then you can hang your clothes to Air dry, and no wrinkles. Ya, on the no rain, no snow days. ;-) My granny used clothes lines on days she washed clothes, sheets, or towels, & saved energy when living in their travel trailer, as she would wash at a coin washing machine place, and part dry there, to take back, and hang to air dry. Many times getting me to help her hang, & fold the sheets when dry. No hammock ? Any good fishing in that Lake. ? If your hubby dives, you could have a under water gil net, that hangs off some long poles attatched to under the house boat, and pick some fish later after its dark. ;-)
      Patriot Dave.
      Go look in to the NESARA PLAN, find it, and print it out, and read about it, as it's still not to late to invest for the crash. Search, N.E.S.A.R.A. & GESARA
      It was a plan to Save America, by J.F.K. and Donald J. Trump picked up the torch, & backed by our US Military to Save us. The plan is going down daily, hidden by the Mayhem of the deep state left, that's trying to destroy America, and stop them from saving us. Read about the Revalue, or RV, as all countries dollars are to be backed by Gold, and so all dollars will be set at $1. To $1. So buy say the Vietnam Dong now, and right after the Banking crash is the Reset or RV, and you can cash in your foreign currencies at the Bank or redemption centers. As today at a CXI foreign currency exchange for $1200. USD you can buy $20 million Vietnam Dong currency. Or buy some IRAQ Dinar as it will reset for dollars value as prior to the IRAQ War we hear. At the Reset they should be worth its face value in US dollars, or more. Take a gamble, buy some, sit on it, and wait. Now if it does not happen, you can sell it back to a currency exchange. Not much of a gamble, but you can buy a castle, or build one after the Reset. Not the great reset, as that's a deep state democrat steal your wealth plan. The Dems may try to scare you into cashing in, and steal your new wealth. But we hear the military will step in to take them down, & save us. Do not cash in on the Dems great Reset plan. Listen to Trump, and his new Rallies videos. As at one Trump Rally he spoke about him, and Melania going to go do the RV. How he talked many did not understand him, and thought he was losing it. He uses code allot in his speeches. As hint, hint for those that know whats going on. Start following it all on TH-cam. Search for, and & Follow dinar chronicles, or dinar blog by a google search, join to get their daily posts, theres many Patriots with daily videos on You tube about Nesara, and the RV or Reset. Search in 2015' Trump bought $60 Billion or more of the IRAQ Dinar, as he spent $30. Million USD. Its public knowledge search it. As the Revalue it's coming very soon. The IRAQ Dinar may cash in for much more than face value into USD. Say you bought a million Dinar for $1400. USD, and it may cash in for close to $4 million USD at the Reset. The Dong maybe the better investment, or buy some of both. ;-)
      The Stock market will crash, and banks will too, but within days, to a week they will reopen, and it will be safe to do business there at like Wells Fargo Banks.
      Many of the posters on TH-cam will keep you informed, so subscribe to many posters posts on it all, as it's going to go down soon. I have payed it forward, Good Luck. Heres some top Patriots that posts daily. See Dr. Dave Janda at -

      @@vonheisemany "homes" featured on this channel are not lived in or rarely lived in.
      I've seen several videos that show a wealthy person's "second home" that is really used as an Air B&B for income. I don't want to see someone's vacation home, much less a hotel.
      The video starts by giving the impression that the people who own it live there full time; then at some point we find out that they don't live there permanently, and the rest of the time it's an Air B&B.
      Its disappointing, because instead of seeing people "living an alternative lifestyle" we get an ad for someone's business. That's not what I came here to watch.

    I love this! My friend lived on a boat in Sausalito, I loved being out there, but I couldn't have my dog. SLEEPING on the water was bliss! However, that boat was NOTHING like this one! You just got such a beautiful comfy space, it's beautiful! I'd do this in a heartbeat. GREAT JOB! I subbed to your channel. I've worked and lived where we took boats everywhere, by choice in Southern California. I was amazed EVERYBODY had a dock, that was when I was 20, you could do everything from shopping to getting your hair cut, if you didn't want to have a car, you really could do with out, much like Florida's A1A, so this has been in the back of my mind for years.

    Very interesting and nice job on the renovation. When my wife and I got married years ago, we bought an 8X25ft "park model" trailer to restore and live in while I was getting ready to go to college. We restored it over the 6 months prior to our marriage so it would be our "first home" and it worked well and we saved alot of money living there instead of living in a college dorm. It was cozy for sure and alot of what they've done here to "save space" is what we did. We eventually sold that trailer and then bought a larger one and then a larger one, restoring each one as we went along. Eventually when it was time to actually buy a home on property, the "trailer" we were living in was a 12X60 Tamarack Mobile Home and the financial value from it made a great down payment on the constructed home and property we bought. That home also needed TLC to live in but we got it inexpensively enough, and because we had ALOT of experience in previous renovation / restoration, it was an easy project for us to do. (And this was in the days before Home Depot and Lowes "big box" hardware/lumber stores). It's fun to buy something inexpensive needing some TLC and then fix it up to live in and then sell it for more, only to buy a bigger one and then do the same. Our theory was to never look at something at just "face value" but see through eyes of "what it can be!" We looked at that an "opportunity" to be had. Our latest home we restored and now put up on the market is a very large 4000sf "4-Square" home built in 1910. It also needed TLC when we bought it 14 years ago, but is now worth about 3 times what we paid for it. Why so many people today think they have to go into major debt immediately and buy their cookie-cutter brand new homes and new cars, trucks, motorcycles and boats to keep up with their friends (ALSO deep in debt) is beyond me. Live within your means and invest in yourselves and your home and do most of the work yourselves! If you don't know how to fix something, remember TH-cam is a video "library" FULL of info/videos on how to do it.....that's something we didn't have back in the '70s and '80s (alot of fixing was simply trial and error). Thanks for the video and I hope I opened some eyes and minds today with our home(s) renovation story. ;-)

    What a wonderful home for an impressive couple. I’d would get a projector over the bed and white roller shade over the window to watch Netflix, YT, etc. You could get more counter space & bar area for eating if you’re willing to move the fridge next to the window on the wall…this will allow you access to the under counter corner cabinet area for deep storage. Could call on keeping the cozy couch instead of the futon. You both are blessed to live in such a beautiful serene home on the water!

    I love this woman. She is a perfect example of a traditional feminine woman. Traits such as nurturance, sensitivity, sweetness, supportiveness, gentleness, warmth, passivity, cooperativeness, expressiveness, modesty, humility, empathy, affection, tenderness, and being emotional, kind, helpful, devoted, and understanding have been cited as stereotypically feminine.

      @@Faithful525 I agree 💯. Yes... She is the complete package. Of course she's not perfection. No one is. But, she has .95% of the desirable qualities that a high valued man wants.
      You see, before a high valued man will invest his resources. The most important thing that most men want is peace. We don't want; "bunches" of drama. Also, can a women think before she speaks. This is better known as; "shutting that mouth". And then you can add all of the other characteristics previously mentioned.
      Yes, she is definitely a "keeper". And he is a very fortunate man.... indeed. I wish you nothing but peace and prosperity as you two move forward, as a couple, throughout your lives.

    I can identify with how much you love your home. My husband and I lived on a houseboat for 3 yrs and loved every minute of it. Ours was about the same size as yours and we had a waterbed on it, too! As large sailboats went by, there was much movement but it never made us seasick. We used propane; this was before the days of solar. I reluctantly moved off the water and look back on those days with much nostalgia. Enjoy!!
