RE: SeaStead
what's stopping you?
Aren't MOST cities on rivers or lakes? Don't they all have marina's. Don't most of the marina's have access to public transportation..and internet? How much does a full-service slip cost compared to an apartment?
BONUS...if you don't like where you live.. weigh anchor and leave.
Yes, i agree with you. You're absolutely right. The thing what is stopping me is university... One day may be i can prefer. Who knows...
I like the van boat...I've been thinking about it all day.
It's be pretty simple to build one I think
It is prohibitively expensive to live in a marina in OR. Something about utilities, fire service, yada yada yada. I have lived on a houseboat in AK, and it was a fine kettle of fish - if you very much like fish, that is.
[edit: I suddenly remember sinking it during a three day rampage. I remember a friend lighting the woodstove with gasoline, and blowing it up. Oops!]
I actually had plans to build something like the vanboat, of a schoolie I lived in once. Was gonna log my way over a hill, and craft a raft of the logs, use the industrial 366 as a winch to drag the bus up the hill (after the logs), and then winch it down to the beach, where I'd drop the driveline through a slot and connect a prop.
Not quite as easy as I thought it was gonna be, so I rented a space in an RV park instead =p
