She Lives Full-Time on Her Self-Built Boat

She is such a delightful person with her constant little bits of laughter, standing and jumping on her bed, and giving a tour that also includes jumping and reaching to show the height of the boat! Her children must find it magical to have their very own bunks on a boat! I am very impressed by the life she chose and the cost she was able to build it with. A wonderful video!

That’s a reeves boat. I thank you as I built it glad to see her still beautiful as the day it was built from flat steel

She seems like such a kind and humble person who appreciates her lovely home on the water. Looks so amazing on the inside! Awesome job! Love her..... <3

Lovely lady and a lovely life. We did this for 4 years. Narrowboat and widebeam. The best 4 years of our lives....Magical.

This is not a narrow boat, this is a house in the water....what a lovely boat...!!!!

I'm building buses now, but would LOVE to build a house boat like this. This is one of the best boats I've ever seen.

She has made that boat look amazing.. and homely.. such a beautiful person too.

How impressive this lovely lady created a beautiful home for herself and her children. Way to go lady 👍❤️

What a wonderful and refreshing young lady. Congratulations for creating a soulful environment for you and your children. Good for you Jen. Thanks for sharing your life with us.

She got a stunning home for under £100,000! Fair play. It’s gorgeous.

She certainly had a vision and she is a vision of beauty herself !!!! Absolutely beautiful boat and absolutely beautiful woman !!!!!

These are not uncommon the Netherlands, this brings back childhood memories of visiting family. So much joy radiating from Jen such a delightful video, thank you!

What a breath of fresh air and joy she is. Good luck to her.

I love this boat. Much larger than a tiny house and fully equipped. The kitchen is huge. Congrats!!!

boat house is like little paradise on the earth.

A box fan blowing the hot air from the stove down the hallway towards the bedrooms would solve the cold issue, plus you need ventilation and heat in all areas to prevent mold. People would argue the fan is too cold in the winter, but when there’s heat being blown from the hot stove it isn’t cold. I found that out when I had baseboard heating, my box fan was running and the heat circulated around my apartment very quickly. Another tip is to use slow cookers in the winter as they kick out an amazing amount of heat into a small area when you’re making homemade soups and stews etc.

They wouldn’t give her a mortgage, so she’s like “Ok watch this. I’ll spend all the money you didn’t want from me (probably 1/3 of what they would have taken from her in fees, principal, etc) and own my own home in less than a year.”

I love everything about her and her houseboat! What a simple, debt free, stress free life…

She is just delightful. Lovely lass. Much appreciate the video! Best wishes to her on her travels.

What a lovely charming lady Jen is, bringing her kid's up good and living her life.
