The Bizarre Houseboats of Britain

In West Sussex, England, a small community has formed around a colony of bizarre houseboats. Using spare parts from old buses, missiles and planes, each boat has its own unique look and feel. Among the residents of the community is Hamish McKenzie. An imaginative houseboat renovator, he’s incorporated his wacky and creative personality to create a truly spectacular home. From a microwave as a mailbox to the nose of a jumbo jet as a window, Hamish infuses glorious new life into discarded objects.

I'm just amazed at how he made it, it's really impressive. Like how to you manage to get a school bus and a nose cone onto a boat???!!!

Hamish, I'm an ex-pat in the USA, and in love with you and the community! If I can ever get the dosh to return, I'd love to visit, or better yet, live there!

I will admit
The house boats kinda look like something out of a post apocalyptic story. I love it

This is possibly the coolest thing I've seen in many years. I love everything about it and I can say that very confidently. I aspire to be like him.

Ngl, this was a pretty cool video. But all the reposts kinda ended up with most of the subs losing faith.
