Cant believe people actually spend their whole lives living that way.

Now that we're temporaraly living in a house, all I do is think about my boat (and post on sailnet). I'm planning on doing up the shop really nice so that I can spend all winter in the shop doing boat projects.
Living aboard is harder than living in a house, but it is oh-so-much more interesting.
+1 for the wood
stove. I showered daily in my 31' boat, cooked and boiled a lot, and it was a sinking wooden boat so the bilge was ALWAYS very very wet. Wood
stove and a few fans solved it all (except for clothes in the furthest deepest cupboards).
