We've got a moving date - the new owners of our original house boat Flora want to move onto her next week. That gives us just 7 days to make Artichoke, our boat-build project, liveable. We start with the stud walls. Relatively inexperienced with DIY, they prove a huge challenge for us in trying to make sure they're straight. Have we mentioned before just how tricky it is to do a straight line in a boat?! Join us through the tantrums as we try to get at least one stud wall built.

We're Jack and Gabby. Join us as we build our own, off-grid, fully solar-powered, narrowboat home. We're not new to tiny home living on the water but we aren't hugely experienced with DIY. Come aboard as we learn what works and what doesn't throughout the build. If you enjoy this video, we'd love for you to see our other vlogs. We have a playlist of each episode in order here:
