These are awesome; I’ve always dreamed of floating home. (Given I work in construction, it would be nice to be around somewhere without as deep foundations!)

these narrow boats were towed by horses before the days of diesel engines. There are still some horse towed boats on the British canals, some private and some for holiday hire

Totally gorgeous! It’s like a complete home in a seven foot width
I wonder if it really is as carefree and comfy a lifestyle as it looks? I work at Big Yellow Storage (http://bigyellow.co.uk )and it seems to me that people (especially those who have made the move from a house) who live on houseboats are definitely in need of good storage solutions. Any hints and tips on self storage solutions for when you move home? Dead interested in seeing what people in this lifestyle come back with. (btw, if you *do* want some self storage for moving home let me know, I can get a 25% discount!)

[...] Not all tiny houses are spartan or sit on the ground. These narrowboats are designed to navigate narrow waterways in the UK. While the boats are often less than 7-feet they are very long. Not all are as luxurious as the one you see pictured here but many are real works of art. They tend to be steel hulled and usually have all the ammenities of a naormal home.

This was amazing! I hope the family on the boat keeps it clean. These narrowboats are like motor homes on water – looks like a nice, carefree lifestyle!

WOW beautiful! It’s really amazing to see how luxurious the interior is too, and all within a 7-foot width.
