Does she have tiny horses to match the tiny house? Like tiny enough that she carries them in her purse like a chihuahua?

Nail Rat posted:They're not all like that. http://www.countryliving.com/home-design/g1887/tiny-house/ That article has a house that is 1375 sqft, which seems to me like a perfectly normal house, and then 196 sqft with three people and a Great Dane in it. My house is 790 sqft (albeit with a full basement, so the useable space is a lot more than any of those) so apparently I qualify as a tiny house owner. The only reason it was affordable is because it had a tiny lot, though, and no municipality is zoning lots this small anymore.

Work is getting lovely too so I'm looking for a new job on top of everything else.

I showed her some houseboats and she is starting to come around to the idea. She'll be done with her masters in December and wants to move out of state so long term we may be looking for a houseboat somewhere on the West coast.

It was just a form letter with my apartment number filled in and date to respond by. So I just took it and changed the amount, not fraudulent at all. If I'm expected to read every long winded legal agreement they send out they should have to read everything too. You should probably do the same thing at work, too!

DuckConference posted:Related question: Can you take a houseboat through the Panama Canal? I would imagine they have laws like they do on the Mississippi. A friend built a huge raft and planned to sail from Chicago down the entire Mississippi but was stopped in Missouri because the raft couldn't go upstream something like 20 knots which meant if they got too close to a barge they would've been sucked under.

Last day of your lease is today, BaseballPCHiker. Where are you going to live? Caves are damp, but warmer than living outdoors this time of year in Minnesota.

"Run down" as in not having appliances/countertops/etc as shiny and new as you'd like, or "run down" as in they don't seem to maintain their poo poo? The first is ok, the second is a problem. Both are better than living on a boat.

Just looking at my savings and boat prices has got me pissed off again. This has got to be a slam dunk loan and yet no bank will even consider it! I could put close to 50% down at this point. The boat would be way more comfortable and roomy then this new place too. This has got me discouraged again. Equally BS is that when you read a lot of these houseboat blogs they all got loans during the crazy irresponsible banking years when they were loaning out money to anybody and those lucky and brave few have come out way ahead. I make a decent living, even if the whole boat sunk I could repay it fairly quickly. Maybe I need to look into like lendingtree or those peer to peer banks.

Ideally, you want to keep your savings in case of emergency and finance the boat purchase. It may be worth waiting.

Maybe you could find a way to buy it in pieces like buy the base now and just camp out on it and then when you save up the other 50% get someone to build the rest so then it would have everything you want
