The book Handmade Houseboats : Independent Living Afloat was written in 1992 by Russell Conder in 1992 and predated much of the current interest in small and affordable tiny houses. Mr Conder's  book is still the only book in print that covers the subject of DIY low cost houseboats in any comprehensive way. 

if you are interested in building a small and modest off the grid houseboat his book is a great place to start.
 You can get this handmade  houseboat book on Amazon but also find it in libraries and use the inter library loan system to get it mailed to your library if they do not have a copy.

I have a playlist of small houseboats on my channel along with a video slide show I posted with over 100 small houseboats to give you inspiration in building one of your own.

 I will be putting together a small and inexpensive eBook to  go over some areas Mr Conder did not cover in his book or have come along since his book was written in 1992.
 Thanks for watching, I add new videos every week on all sorts of topics and have a lot of playlists and also feature other you tubers who are making great videos and should have more viewers on their channels.
