There is a whole bunch of these down in Tennessee where I'm visiting. It's like a trailer park on the water. Never seen anything like this.

@Professor_de_la_Paz takes living on a boat to a whole new level! Lol

Makes me want to buy one! (boattrader.com)

They actually had a couple real nice ones like that down here. Went from super nice, to a shed on the water.

I checked the mooring fees out of curiosity. About 1800 a year with water and electric hook up.

No property taxes I'm sure. Who knows what kind of insurance you need. Cheap AF way to live. That's going to be me if I can't find work after refusing Vax! Lmao

I'm looking at marinas along the Gulf Coast of Florida in case my next role works out the way I hope it will. As I said to @Caltrop, I'd prefer something I can take out onto the water but I get the appeal of these things.

Absolutely about getting out on the water. This inland lake isn't exactly my style, but it is beautiful up here in the mountains.

To do it right here all you would need is a bass boat tied up to your 'home'.

I once went to a Florida panhandle small town marina to look at a boat. It was a 22 ft catboat, a very wide design and super simple to sail. He wanted 1500 bucks for it. Shoulda got it. Problem being, I lived in New Orleans and it was not trailerable. Had I moved onboard, there was plenty of work in town. Shoulda moved and done it.

You don't have to stick to the coasts if you don't want to.

A lot of people don't realize just how extensive the US inland waterway system is. When I was a kid, I could have walked 50 yards out of my front door with a canoe, put it in the Coal River, near St. Albans, WV, and paddled it all the way to the Gulf of Mexico by way of the Kanawha, Ohio, and Mississippi rivers without ever stepping on land. And the Mississippi runs North all the way up into St. Paul, Minnesota.

Holy shit. That is amazing.

But it looks like it's about to sink!

I just did a quick search for used houseboats. There are many of them out there if you're interested, but it isn't quite my style. If I was living on the Intracoastal Waterway and cruising up and down The Ditch, maybe. But I'd prefer a boat that can go out onto the open water.

Yes we've been looking at sail boats. I would want to go out on the water too.

That's true actual american heritage

You bang all the chicks with that, you're a legend

Damn that looks sweet. I would seriously consider buying something like that if it was just a little cheaper.

I paint for a living if you send me your dick pics I’ll paint them and split the profit with you 70/30. That should help you

I remember when I was a kid and watching the coal barges going down the river and thinking, "That would actually be an amazing platform for a house." Hell, you'd practically have enough square footage on top to add some topsoil and farm on the damn thing. Or get two. Convert one for living and work space, tie up alongside, cover the top of the second one with dirt and farm it.

That's fucking genius!

Get a used coal barge, then use shipping containers to build the house on it. https://search.brave.com/images?q=shipping%20container%20house
