Ok we've had a rethink and are now working to a 5yr plan to keep the house or a smaller version. Cc and sell some wooden items from the boat also make and store for Christmas fayres taking them home for the kids to store at various intervals.would love to do it sooner but this way seems like the most sensible for the long term

We are definitely not going into this on a whim with our rose tinted glasses on. I make various sized wooden reindeers for Xmas fayres and wooden flowerpot men for summertime. The butty boats an option. But I think we are still hoping to get some land. And become the good life on the waterways.ha ha. As I said were at the early stages and have decided to write all the pros and cons in column's. Hopefully the construction list isn't too long

We want to live on the boat. We will still need an income my.wife works for aldi so could transfer. I have recently been making wooden creations that I have been selling at fayres so I am easy.we are really keen to escape the rat race and want to.be able to enjoy life.good times and bad

Thanks for all your comments so far. It's always worth getting lots of thought's so we can go into this having thought of all the pitfalls as well as the dreams

Yeah the farmer was in my.mind. also will ask owners who are near over grown moorings when out next.

Morning. I thought I posted last night about where but doesn't look like it. We live in weston super mare atm so would possibly prefer k&a but Midlands is probably where we think we might end up.only a trip up.the m5 for the family What we would like is an area that we could keep some chickens grow some veg and put up some storage if possible

Hi I'm new to this group and have had a share in an ex challenger for about 10yrs. My wife and I have decided we'd love to try living on a boat. I know that getting a mooring is the first and possibly most difficult part but would be so grateful for any tips about the whole process. Thanks in advance and I look forward to hopefully many discussions
