Spectacular FLOATING HOME is Self-Built & Off-Grid

I want to be surrounded by water and not cell phone towers

I like it, the layout, the look, the systems, all great, the only thing I don't like is the foundations. I would use concrete over EPS foam block construction, the way a lot of docks are made. That way it can't sink, it's also very stable, the next best thing to solid ground.

How do you repair a rusty shed roof?

That's a grand looking home with amazing views.

nice, do you know anyone who can build one?

Wow...Very Impressive.

He has his own water treatment. I love this!!!!

Very neat enviously watching.

By George, I think he thought of every contingency! Can't help but be very impressed with his floating home!!

Wow…. Amazing. Very much enjoyed the innovations for grey water. It shows you can still have a classy appearing home and still be low carbon. One question that does come to mind is he runs a lot of pumps, the auger for the pellet stove, fridge etc. How does he power up these devices when the weather is inclement (solar not charging) and he only has 400 w of power for solar. Not sure about the gas lights. (He mentions they add extra heat for colder times. Lots of forethought went into the building of the home, including carbon monoxide detectors, and canisters to discharge with high heat. Thank you for sharing. Many thanks to the home owner for allowing his home to be viewed. I’m in awe.

All I can say is WOW!

Wow, this is really beautiful ❤Is this in Canada? I hear the canadian accent. 😊

Outstanding build. I like the colors chosen very good choices.

I love how much thought went into the heat / safety / water treatment / filtration / engineering of the boat home. I'd like to see it now with more additions

Truly amazing!!!! Great work!!!

❤❤❤❤

can you tell me 1.. what permit is rqd for such house boat? 2..how is it equipped for any adverse weather conditions? how stationary beyond usual anchored area? 3..good on you following your heart. i so often: do see bldgs; boats with steps/stairs; but not disabled/particularly elderly, sone pregnant other people category friendly!

You should use TPO or PVC for your roof and decks. Why didn't you use metal studs for your framing rather than the much heavier 2x4's. How come you didn't use aluminum for your floats? What would have been involved if you made your floats in the catamaran style? I guess deeper draft but I'm not sure. How did you determine how much float you needed to support the weight?

I do lots and built my place in the high Alps with a similar spirit, Outdone ....,

Your home is absolutely beautiful and perfect place to live! Congratulations 🍾

Very pretty and functional.... For those looking to do something like this, perhaps also look at using SIPs, structural insulated panels, for the shell, roof included. Super insulated, airtight, and structurally "monolithic". The spray foam is awesome, but SIPs are next level.

this is absolutely gorgeous. The colors, the decor, the size, the utilities, the everything. Love that you're not completely done so we're able to see it 'raw' so to speak.

What a absolutely fantastic house; it must be a great feeling to live like this; good job man ❤

Absolutely beautiful

Just one quick question...During the winter when the water is frozen, how do you keep the ice from damaging the hull?

this type of guy oversee huge construction projects...very detailed oriented and puts alot under consideration

So Interesting!

How about condensation in your pontoon?

My biggest take away is probably how good that water is

Very impressive how he use so many different knowledge to build his dream house 🎉

Beautiful home! Love the water views!

Lovely to see such a all through thought built house with everything basically thought of, fire, heating and working space. Absolutely worth a award for best built house boat

So you did your ego trip and then you went with the slogan of the "footprint" to be a rightious again....

I think that's my "dream home." Really like your design and detail choices. I hope I can find a video of your completed project.  
Much respect to you, Sir.

Nice/colorful/creative 👏🙃🙂 looking house. 🏠🏘🏡 👌

WOW meanwhile I can't even draw a straight line if i tried!

My dream home! How rough does the water get?

DUDE?! Very inspiring! I want to do this! I want it portable though - trailer from woods to water anytime I feel like a change of scenery or seasonal moves. Can't be charged for camping on the water - this is brilliant. Well done sir.

I had to stop the video after you said the upstairs bedrooms were approx 13 X14 . Just a moment before you said the upstairs was approx 12X24. How do you squeeze a 13 foot area into a 12 foot space ?

I'm new to floating homes. I presume that they can not be driven out on the water and they have to remain fixed to the dock. Is that correct?

The safety features are very thoughtful and smart

This place is so beautiful that I just keep watching it over and over. I don't remember I've seen it until it starts....then I'm like, "wow, this place again". Also this man is incredibly handsome and down to earth. Love his story.

Top Man!

i would get a distiller system and add minerals to that for pure water as a back up and add a cylindrical windmill with low rpm generator too, also a stove you can burn both wood logs and pellets

Very Beautiful Home 🥰

I love love love your home - particularly the exterior. I have always liked flower boxes and all the potted plants. Your choice in materials and colors are excellent.

Absolutely gorgeous! Some of us monkeys are quite clever! Love it! I'd be happy to live there!

This is an amazing structure and home! Beautiful & safe; as well as sustainable! Wow.

Very impressive!
