I challenge Zach @FowlersMakeryandMischief to build the world's smallest micro house boat that has all the amenities including cooking, sleeping, sitting, and so much more. Join me on this adventure while I work to building the most epic house boat, or pontoon boat that is fully equipped for overnight.
Zach Fowler Tiny Houseboat Part 1: • Solar Tiny Houseboat B...
Zach Fowler Tiny Houseboat Part 2: • Solar Tiny Houseboat B...
I got this tiny boat for free and and challenged myself to build a house boat that was beautiful, functional, and cheap enough to build. With the help of a bit of new material, and a lot of reused scavenged material, I will turn it into a luxurious solo micro house boat.

"Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. This channel will approach self reliance from a modern perspective. and will focus on various build projects using modern amenities, and tools to build a completely self reliant lifestyle.
Many people ask me where I am from and where I film my projects. I am from Northern Ontario, Canada, and live in an area where off-grinding is easy because I have lots of land to build on and experiment with different buildings and materials. Everything I do is to try to be more self reliant, and to depend less on others. But that doesn't mean I don't like working together with other people on projects. Knowing people who have skills is part of being self reliant, and trading skills is a great way to get more things done!

Isn't this a re-run? We've already seen this, haven't we?

@presidentresident 10 месяцев назад

Will do

@leewhittington5806 10 месяцев назад

Dude I would put a full stop at the end to show I’ve watched the whole way but that has just been a repeat of the build you done already? No “NEW CONTENT” but I guess anything for that like button being pushed or that subscriber coming through I feel disappointed from this video.. really thought it was a new part from that build 👎🏻

@IThinkImJudgeJudy69 10 месяцев назад

i've already watched it all the way through before. sorry, you will only get several seconds of my time as i skip through the video to confirm this. i was really hoping for an update on this project.

@shredder152 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing your experience with this shed manual, a useful and well-designed resource for building your own shed. ru-vid.comUgkxzaRUJNcbypw-fRBDbqqz43ULIa-1EGP- It sounds like you enjoyed the process of creating something new, rather than repairing something old. The pictures in the manual were helpful and informative. I'm glad your dad liked it and is looking forward to building a shed. The hardcover edition was a good choice, as it is more durable and resistant to car fluids than the soft cover ones. I appreciate your feedback. blush

@rogerstrater1850 10 месяцев назад

Full Stop. I watched this build earlier in the three parts. Great to see it as one long movie.

@Out-Fishing13 10 месяцев назад

So,,, I want to let you know . I really really really really really really hope you don't stop making videos . Don't a quitter !!! Full Stop ! on both . The series of this build and this full length video from start to finish .

@trinarock8643 10 месяцев назад

Use cooking oil to get the adhesive off. Trust me. It's always worked for me. It will get gooey and messy but with each wipe with a paper towel or cloth will bring it all off. Let it sit and rub it in with your fingers keeping it oily, and it will start to free up after about 30 minutes. Full stop

@michaelbrinks8089 10 месяцев назад

The other day I was thinking about how realistic & practical. It'd be to build a lightweight mini house boat/camper that could be towed behind an ebike or motorized bicycle. Once you put boat into water. You'd strap the bicycle to front, rear or side of boat.

@suzannelafontaine4089 10 месяцев назад

So nice to see Don back 😊 it's always interesting to see what Kevin want to built.👍

@danisewerner4047 10 месяцев назад

@glennfranklin5293 10 месяцев назад

full stop, first time comment, ive be watching your building and adventures for a few years now, and you never fail to entertain and educate (mildly) and make most people laugh. im a scavenger like you with wood. i build tables and benches. i have learned a thing or three from you. so thank you!

So I've been having this dream of building a crashed UFO in my backyard, and in the dream I deck it out to sleep in but add a space ship theme. I don't have the knowledge or skillset, and if you ever are struggling to find an idea, I feel like you are the man to pull it off correctly

WD-40 is good for sticker removal. Love the boat🎉

@playsinclay 10 месяцев назад

I was thinking alcohol…. After using WD you will have to clean the grease off.

@Mystic_Light 6 месяцев назад

Alcohol will leave a dull finish on the Lexan, which will not wash off. Not sure about WD... I would test a small area first because I think it will also dull the finish. Full stop & 👍

@clairedionne559 5 месяцев назад

I had just watched bits of the houseboat construction while it was in parts. But this time, FULL STOP, I have enjoyed the entire 1 hour 31 min video session. How instructive and entertaining at the same time! It just feels like we are with you going through the paces. You got me freezing as you were trying to break the ice on the lake. God, that must have been so cold... and you did that for how long?! Anyway, thanks for inviting us onto your projects. I can't wait to watch you build a flying object of some sort, and spend the night in it of course. Congratulations!

@Glitch-mx5ub 10 месяцев назад

Kevin, I believe you can steam the backing off the lexan. We do that with removing old widow tint. Spray area with soapy water then appy a plastic bag over that. Then you add a heat source to steam. Could be the direct sun or other heat source. Love your channel, keep building.

@met8886 10 месяцев назад

@andrewcoon7695 7 месяцев назад

Full stop. Kevin you are so fun to watch. I love the ideas that you come up with. You should find two mini life preservers, one for each of the outsides for decoration, Oh! and anchors too. For some reason it almost looks like a mini paddle wheeler boat. Maybe you can add miniture decks and railings on the side and a miniature wheelhouse on it. On the back or sides add a fake paddle wheel. Use one of those plastic containers for floatation, cover it to look like a paddle wheel this will extend the back of the boat. Or the side paddle wheels could disguise the outriggers.

@joeypellerin2868 10 месяцев назад

Hey Kevin. For ur stain rags staining is one of my specialty and when I worked for any company we put our rags in a pail of water and after a week or so they are good to dispose of. But ya it will set itself on fire. Seen it first hand. Be safe and awesome job

@michaelnotigan7796 10 месяцев назад

Looking at the way my 06 Colorado bed tie-down's are attached to the bed sheetmetal, I think you'd be better off incorporating the chain attachment points for your winch at your frame mounted reciever hitch vs those tie downs which I believe will eventually tear out. Other than that, for protected waters, that looks like a great way to get out on the water and over-night in. Well done!

@LyrelPrice 10 месяцев назад

@chrisread6103 10 месяцев назад

I watch every precious second of your videos. This one really had some variety. Most interesting build. Love the "motor". Your barge on the water until a McMillion mansion owner buys you house. So funny!!! Loved this post, thanks, most interesting. Hope we get to see you overnighting in the houseboat this next summer.❤

You can also have a small "satellite" boat that you pull behind, that holds firewood and other supplies. Also, get yourself a battery power supply. "Clip" flexible solar panels to the roof.

@Sothpawable 10 месяцев назад

Full Stop. I had plans to start building a tiny home before covid started. I finally built it and moved onto my own 2.5 acres 2.5 years ago. I built a 9 foot vardo last year and now I think I know what I want to build soon. Thanks for the inspiration. And I love those small stoves. Have one in the tiny house and I found a small pot belly for the vardo but I might swap them...

@davidsgreatadventures 10 месяцев назад

@Mystic_Light 6 месяцев назад

You should use a bit of cooking oil and a new plastic spatula scraper to loosen the film on the Lexan. Wash the oil off with dawn, or any citrus based dish soap and a soft cloth. Cute boat.

@MsSilkeen 10 месяцев назад

FULL STOP Kevin! You're the SOLE RU-vidr I do not skip ahead! Tried it once missed something & had to go back ! There have been very few times when you have NOT made me laugh out loud, most times whilst drinking my coffee! I now keep a piece of plastic handy to keep coffee off of my keyboard! BTW, kudos to The wooded Beardsman on his most excellent editing abilities! I'm a 70 something female in California, BELIEVE ME when I say I watch because I learn ( how to tell someone else to do it) & because you ALWAYS make me laugh! My dogs were cuddled up to me when you launched the boat & I LOL so hard I was wheezing, dogs were trying to find the villain that kicked them off my lap! Keep up the fun! Photography & info on icebergs took the cake, now I want that on my bucket list! Goof Off &or any kind of cooking oil works wonders on that residue removal.

@jamesellsworth9673 10 месяцев назад

Shades of 'The SS Minnow!' Don't boats need bilges? I wouldn't count on the underfloor for dry storage. I would also have kept the superstructure lower, for balance and, particularly for minimizing the effect of cross winds.

@playsinclay 10 месяцев назад

Full stop. Such a fun view! Maybe you figured out your prop issues by now but I think, like a ceiling fan blade, the direction that you’re gonna go is determined by which way you put your prop on the axle. It’s always nice to have forward be forward.

@rudyfisher7660 10 месяцев назад

You need to take a piece of EMT and put on that piece of compromise, but to one end toward that you'll have something to hold onto and it'll make it that all thread more stable and then you'll be able to hold that pipe and keep it from going everywhere, but then. You can also put you a little pipe holder on top of your in the middle of your boat and then. Take and screw it down and then you can take that I might get a big bigger one and then it'll least hold it still and keep it going. What do you want it to if you just leave it hanging loose? It won't lose them, but if you screw both sides down on piping. Say you got half inch or 3/4 inch pipe through there well then you put. If you got 3 cords, you put one inch and that way, I'll give you enough billiard. You determined from side to side angle it from side to be able to turn the boat aroand the rod will spin inside the e. M. T. Because you're copper fittings, hold in one spot and the the all thread is just spinning in the middle

@kellycarver2500 10 месяцев назад

You may need to build some side floats that extend out, so it doesn't flip over in the water. That would stink. You do beautiful work, guys, but I'm afraid of it being top heavy..maybe u deal w that later in vid..idk..

@tommyc6812 7 месяцев назад

FULL STOP…Enjoyed the full adventure. (Hope to see the boat on a lake!?)

@lethaleefox6017 10 месяцев назад

So, you need to find an old surplus ocean going lumber barge to modify next... they are a bit deep so they can handle ocean travel... you might find some in British Columbia... a good of the sea worthiness would be to tow it through the Panama Canal and up to the Great Lakes, unless you can find one closer... I worked in a lumber mill in Tacoma Washington in the 70's and we were on a dock and loaded lumber barges from time to time... in the days of Gilligan's Island... thought it would be a good place to build a house in one... they are big enough... probably they would be better with pontoons on them too.

@jlucasound 9 месяцев назад

Watch "Quiet Nerd" camper boat build. He put two small pontoons on either side of the front. He attached trolling motors to each one too. There is your propulsion AND your steering and you don't have to be at the back to operate the boat! That would add much to the stability. It's not like you need to lean for high speed or anything!! 😆😄😃

@user-01Bigmac50 10 месяцев назад

That is a very nice job I’m planing a house out on my one person poontoon boat.

@MasuseDeMojo 10 месяцев назад

Nice build. You need to put some running lights on the outside so it is easier to see the boat when it is on the water both during the day and night. Also it would give you greater control of the propeller rod to have the hole it is going through beveled all around, right now you have a straight edge you are contacting with your rod; and most of those holes are made with a beveled section of metal that is about an inch and a half to 2 inches in depth from front to back. Overall, good job!!
