I live on a houseboat – we have a water slide off the roof but there’s an awkward situation with the toilet
FOR one houseboat owner, life on the water comes with both perks – and a peculiarity.
Not living on land means that some simple things might just seem a bit strange – but this water-loving resident doesn’t think that life out on the sea could get any sweeter.
“Things about living on a houseboat that just make sense,” explained Maddy (@itsmemaddy_c) as she showed off her main living area complete with a granite kitchen counter, as well as a sofa and chairs.
But there was one thing the average space might not have – a ship’s wheel in the living room.
Next to a flatscreen TV within a wooded built-in entertainment center was another atypical accessory – control panels.
It seemed that navigational home decor was the new ‘ship chic.’
Then came what some would consider the biggest wow factor of luxe boat living as Maddy showed viewers the water slide off the roof.
Her smallest houseboat living companion also seemed to enjoy his life on the open water.
Wearing a red and gray striped sweater, Maddy’s dog was already an expert at hopping over the gap to get aboard.
Saving money on a waterpark by having a slide didn’t mean that there wasn’t also a downside to the unusual living arrangement.
As another boat pulled up alongside hers, Maddy explained that the captain was just “the man who comes to pump away our literal s**t.”
Still, she didn’t seem to mind the strange situation as the waterslide seemingly won over any weird inconveniences.
Maddy also informed watchers of her water-going lifestyle that she had neglected to share another unique aspect of her houseboat: “Forgot about the secret tunnel under the boat, but oh well.”
Most of her houseboat tour-following viewers couldn’t get over the spaces’ fascinating features.
“The wheel makes it so perfect. It reminds you that it’s a ship,” one such watcher exclaimed in awe.
“The slide is goals,” another follower responded with envy.
Another concerned viewer had a question of their own: “Has the dog ever fallen?”
Yet still another watcher couldn’t get enough of the unique spaces.
“Secret tunnel tour?” the fervent follower pleaded.
