I kinda want to live on a houseboat

 Is it even possible to live on a boat? Well the short answer is obviously yes since people have been doing it for quite a while now. The other pressing question is of course is it possible here in Finland? To that the answer is "Yes, kindus of". Lets get into that. The first obvious challenge compared to say the Netherlands is the climate. Even in southern Finland, despite the best efforts of climate change, as I write this in 2020 we do still get temperatures down to -20 degrees celsius or even lower than that. Being as most boats are not very well if at all insulated this of course poses a problem. Luckily we've come a long way from using sawdust and old newspapers as insulation and compact closed cell foam etc can be used. This of course does require pretty much redoing the interior of the boat unless I find one that someone already did the work on. Another related one is ice. I was surprised when I did research this that actually being frozen in is not the end of a h

Those who know me doing unusual things is nothing special for me but if you, the reader, are someone who stumbled upon this from whatever search engine rules the world at the time... welcome! This blog aims to document my project of determining whether it is viable for me to live on a boat in Finland and if so going forward from there. If it goes through, this will probably be a multi-year project and might span multiple vessels. Content will be mainly in the form of text but also occasionally pictures and videos, either recorded or livestreamed. I will try to future proof it so that someone reading this 10 years from now can use it to avoid whatever mistakes I make because from the research I've done into the viability of the project already (more about that in posts) there are many resources which have unfortunately been unable to do so. But I'm getting ahead of myself s
