OK, this isn't a beauty this week - a houseboat found on the river that runs through Toronto Island.
While not an obvious choice for a model, I can see a good reason to have a go. These things are moved using tugboats or workboats so one would be a real eyecatcher in model form on the lake.
Construction wouldn't be hard. There are plenty of plans, and it's all squares and boxes.
I wonder what it's like to live in one. I'm thinking that moving around the upper story must make the vessel wobble about a bit. Do you get used to it, or is there ballast I'm not aware of for stability?

The motion from moving about would be the least of your worries. In anything more than a breeze that thing is going to be lively as all the superstructure will act like a massive sail.
