Pax is a tiny float home that was lovingly restored and renovated by Jason and Cayley over the course of a year and a half. It was one of 25 boats built in Victoria, Canada for Expo ’86 but it had fallen into disrepair. With some incredible woodwork and craftsmanship by the pair, respectively a shipwright and a carpenter, it’s now an absolutely stunning 1 bedroom home on the water!!

The houseboat is packed with neat features: a head with a composting toilet and a livestock trough bathtub, a chart table, a bright galley, a handmade curved cedar dinette, a storage staircase, cozy sleeping and relaxing lofts that are connected by a catwalk, and a ladder that leads to a rooftop deck.
Thanks for watching!

That house looks absolutely stunning.
Just gorgeous. I wish I could afford it.
There's no TP on the TP holder.
This would be awesome on a canal in England.
I see almost no shelf fronts or securing features for items on shelves. Do you have to basically pack everything away every time you leave the dock? It all looks beautiful, but there's not much in the way of practical necessities showing.
Absolutely stunning. Well done to both of you.
The bench/dining may have taken a lot of ol effort but it’s such a beautiful, original statement piece.
BEAUTIFUL all of it…
Life Nature Channel Welcome to subscribe to a new channel next week
This is very satisfying, especially in the interior, the color combination..😊😊
BUT.. may I ask for a swoopy shaped bench and monkey pod wooden table?? sorry it was a joke….
but it feels comfortable and satisfying to live there…
After watching this and it turns out you sold it, I'm a bit sad to hear that..
This made me smile. It’s definitely stunning.
The boat indeed is beautiful, but being sold for 289,000 is way to much according to me, wish them all the best for their new journey ahead. ❤️
It's gorgeous! I'd buy in a heartbeat!
I think it should have railings on the upper floor
It's too dangerous
I know that you spent so much time on the bench but it's amazing, thanks for sharing your beautiful home. I love living on a ship.
