OFF-GRID living has never been more desirable with many people opting for a home that allows them to reconnect with nature.<\/p>\n

A DIY-savvy man has proven that being a digital nomad doesn't have to cost the earth after opting to build his own floating home.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Drakey (@drakey8) has garnered over 391,000 followers on TikTok, where he shares his love of exploring the natural world.<\/p>\n

He took to the social media platform to share the process of building a houseboat with help from his friends.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cWe\u2019re going to be turning this raft into a tiny house on the water.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst of all we\u2019re doing this on such a tight budget so don\u2019t expect anything flash.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe chucked on the flooring and some fake grass then it was time to get the house built.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe used a gazebo but it does the job.\u201d<\/p>\n

He hammered wooden panels to the raft for firm flooring before opting for fake grass instead of carpet.<\/p>\n

He then attached a gazebo instead of using wood to build walls and a roof.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Drakey admitted attaching the gazebo to the raft was a challenge because it was a very windy day.<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cWe somehow made it work and came back later ready for our first night in our new house.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s only got one bedroom and one couch but we love it.\u201d<\/p>\n

He equipped the floating home with an inflatable bed and couch as well as a projector for watching movies.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIt was windy and raining the whole night but we woke up to the best conditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI bet not many people live three steps away from the ocean but what a way to wake up and I can say I love my new house.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Drakey was delighted by his finished houseboat and jumped out of it into the ocean for an early morning swim.<\/p>\n

Over 653,000 people watched the video and it quickly racked up over 52,000 likes.<\/p>\n

Commenters were impressed by the project and tagged their friends suggesting that they should try making their own.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One person wrote: \u201cBro I so want to do this with my mates.\u201d<\/p>\n

A fourth added: \u201cThis like so much fun. I need to do this with my friends.\u201d<\/p>\n
