Redneck Houseboats

DIY Lake House

If you saw the Redneck Mansion we featured a while back, you know luxurious lifestyles are no longer reserved for the elite. This homemade houseboat is another fine example of how luxe living is possible, even on a budget, if you're willing to get creative.

Not afraid of judgment? Make your dream to live on the water a reality and build your own floating RV. Like a floating bunk bed, it hosts two levels which can accommodate small trailer pods, furniture and whatever else you might need to make your lake house fantasies a reality.
