Actually, I've been designing my own small cabin[1]; nothing fancy, solar panels, a decent cooker, pellet stove heat etc... And it occurred to me that the thing would fit perfectly atop an old steel work barge. I never thought about living in a houseboat, but considering how little I'd have to spend for land use, it seems like a good idea.
I just need a bit of extra space for supplies and I'm good to go already.
