My Bucket List

I have a short bucket list.  I'm 79 and have had life full of amazing life's experiences. (Many I would rather forget.)  I've had many cars, from a VW Bug to a brand new Cadillac. No cars on my bucket list.  I've rented, bought, build and sold houses.  I grew up in Miami, Florida, lived in house on the side of a mountain in Birmingham, Alabama, now live in Youngstown, Ohio. The other day I was driving by a junk yard and saw a house boat, this led me to remember the longest thing on my bucket list. I've wanted to live in a house boat for at least fifty years.  

I am buying this boat, found a trailer for it.  This is my project for the summer. The outside is in great shape, however, the inside is a mess. It's a 34' Christ Craft fiberglass houseboat. I have not got in home yet.  

Here is a picture of this type of boat I found on the web.
