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!

Indeed, it's not a narrowboat. It's too wide to fit in most of the canals in the UK. Worth the trade off though. Wider boats are more stable in the water. Narrowboats rock from side to side easily.

@@teesmith501 I’ve moored on the Grand Union many, many times. Yes, you’re right, it can be risky. There are some strange characters on the canal. I wouldn’t want to be moored up alone. Rubbish can be an issue, as can vandalism. You have to approach getting a narrow boat very carefully. Much better as weekend retreats out of town, than full time homes. Especially with kids. You’re moored on a public right of way - most people use the towpaths to walk their dogs and go for a stroll, but you need to be on the alert.

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.

in the summer it looks like paradise, but through the winter the boat is cold and condensation is a constant worry, i lived on a canal boat on the grand union for two years, and waking up in winter with the outside temperature at --10C / 14F, and the inside temperature was --5C / 23F, with as she said ice on the inside of the windows, is not so much fun. and yes, it was fully insulated, but with half the boat sitting in cold water you find the insulation doesn't help.

Yes, books, clothes and soft furnishings can get damp. And mooring is becoming increasingly impossible - much more bureaucratic on the canals than it used to be… we continually cruised, too. Wardens used to turn a blind eye to you staying in one place for a while, but now they’re hot on your trail. Beautiful in the Summer, but cold overnight in the Winter, and moorings near shops and facilities are increasingly hard to find. Barney used to be our coal man on the Grand Union - dropping off our coal as he came through on his traditional working barge. You have to be pretty reliant on having some knowledge of boat mechanics, and be prepared to cycle or walk everywhere. Most canal boats are FAR narrower than this wide beam! A beautiful looking boat. So well thought out. I wonder how she manages to continuously cruise and get the kids to the same school - that must be a big issue…

I love walking my dog down The Grand Union canal, especially in summer, and he loves it too! And I always think how lovely it would be to live on one of those boats. They all look so different and some of them seem majestic. My friend of over 25 years grew up on one of those boats. She had a great time. And every part of the canal is different! Plus, you can surprisingly get around London a lot easier walking along the canals than you can by public transport (depending on where you’re going, obviously). We have lots of canals in London. They go on forever, too. Way out from central london to the country! My friends and I used to hang out by Camden lock when we were kids, and that was always our meeting place. Good times. Good memories.

She needs to set a fan up at the master bedroom end of the hallway at the floor and blow the air at the floor down towards the stove room. It'll force the warm air at the ceiling to move down the hallway at the ceiling. 100 pound says it'll heat more evenly!

I thought the inside looked huge, until she said she was 5'2"😂. Very nicely fitted out though and a nice alternative way to live if you're not bothered about a big garden or owning a car etc... Having to move every 2 weeks sounds a bit of a PITA but I guess you get used to it. No doubt there will be maintenance costs on the hull at some point which will be a factor to consider. This lady is obviously very happy with her choice of life style so good luck to her.😀👍

Jesus she's gorgeous 😮❤ 😅😅😅 very nice home too! - it'd be really easy to put a second smaller pot belly stove somewhere in her bedroom for the really cold parts of the winter - I'm sure the heat meeting from both ends would make living on there much more comfortable

Fantastic boat! I would suggest attaching a water tank to the burner which is hooked up to the radiators, that way the boat will get some heat when the burner is going. It probably won't be a huge amount of heat but it would certainly keep the chill off in the winter.

Whilst charming, she actually said 'when the kids are with me', indicating that she is a single mother with shared access. Maybe the money used to build/convert the boat was part of a divorce settlement. Maybe just another sad relationship breakup story for the children, due to the lies of Feminism. Maybe...
