A "RESCUED" TINY HOUSE

by BOB
(FLORIDA/DELAWARE)

I RESCUED MY TINY HOUSE. IT WAS ABOUT TO GO TO A LANDFILL. IT WAS FACTORY BUILT BACK IN THE 60'S IN CANADA. IT WAS BASICALLY VERY SOUND, NEEDING ONLY A NEW INTERIOR.

I GUTTED IT AND SPENT LOTS OF SPARE TIME REDOING THE INTERIOR AND REPAINTING THE EXTERIOR.

WHAT I HAVE NOW IS A FULLY FUNCTIONAL 18' HOUSEBOAT WITH 6'8" HEADROOM, A DOUBLE BED, 6'8" SOFA BED, A DORM SIZE FRIDGE, A SINGLE BURNER GAS STOVE, A MICRO, A HEAD, SINK/W5 GAL TANK,AND LOTS OF STORAGE.

IT IS RATED FOR UP TO 85 HP, BUT WITH A TWO STROKE MERC, IT CAN PULL A WATER SKIER AND HIT 25 MPH. NOT MANY HOMES CAN DO THAT.

SO FAR I HAVE DRAGGED IT OVER 10,000 MILES AND SPENT OVER ONE YEAR LIVING IT IN. SINCE IT IS SELF CONTAINED IT IS EVEN WELCOME IN CAMPGROUNDS, AND I TOW IT WITH A 2WD TAHOE.

SADLY, FOR ME, MY NEW WIFE DOESN'T SHARE MY LOVE OF THE WATER, AND I AM GETTING A FEW YEARS ON, SO I WILL SOON BE PARTING WITH IT, AND THE TAHOE.

IF ANY READERS ARE INTERESTED THE WHOLE PACKAGE CAN BE BOUGHT FROM ME FOR LESS THAN 10K...

EMAIL ME AT ICPTBA@AOL.COM FOR ADDITIONAL PHOToS AND ANY QUESTIONS..

GALVINIZED TRAILER COMES WITH IT, AND THE MOTOR HAS LESS THAN 5 HRS ON IT, TOO!
