Now here is a crazy idea - hull made into houseboat.

This 20 foot long "project boat" is offered free on craigslist.



I'm thinking that it could be converted into a tiny houseboat like this...

Joe Fernon is quite at home aboard Lilypad, the 20-foot shantyboat he built.

By starting with an existing boat you can save a "hull" of a lot of work.

Shelter made from two water tanks

This has been borrowed from...

Taku-Tanku – Bicycle Towable Floating Tiny House Design





TAKU-TANKU
Saitama, JAPAN, 2014 - Competition entry
In collaboration with Takahiro Fukuda

TAKU-TANKU is a travelling little house. Carried by one or two persons or by a bicycle, by a car or potentially even by a boat, TAKU-TANKU is made out of water tanks and can travel through many landscapes to serve as companion and shelter but also as a sculpture that celebrates the vital role of water in our lives.

TAKU-TANKU is an eco-friendly project that can be easily assembled, built with off-the-shelf and re-purposed materials. The structure is composed by two 3,000 liter water tanks connected by a ring of wood that frames the entrance.
