Instead of an apartment, the man spent all of his money on a rusted houseboat, which prompted ridicule
Because he didn’t have enough money to buy a flat, the young master put all of his funds into a rusted houseboat.
Friends mocked him; during the next eight weeks, he launched a floating castle.
Billy Walden had always enjoyed woodworking, understood electricity, and realised that in theory, he could outfit an old houseboat to seem like a house.
The challenge was in the ship’s layout. This is a river barge for narrow canals, and all of its components had to be arranged on one side of a short corridor.
The master left a space under the kitchen for a dining room in the back. There was enough area nearby for a shower and an almost finished bathroom.
The captain has designated the cockpit as his bedroom. To top it all off, he invented a folding roof, resulting in a true floating convertible.
The captain navigated the barge through the canals near London. It turned out to be a much better flat, and travelling has become much easier as a result.
