    Brandon is a riot... So funny. I take my pup River Out the same way. 4 dinghy rides to the beach ⛱️ from the sailboat or houseboat. Can not get him to poop 💩 onboard.

      He really is 🤣 just comes naturally! & aww I bet River gets so excited for those dinghy rides. I know Iko does! Good time for them to have space to run around anyways huh, although it sure would be more convenient if they could just go onboard 😅

    so envious about your life style. Completely retired and could live anywhere except my wife. It would take dynamite to get her out of this place. She loves our home and pool and I love her so. I’ll just watch you guys, post more please.

    I live just a few yards from the beach on the Oregon coast, and we get crazy storms all autumn/winter. I love it! I look forward to storm season every year!🌊

    I live in Arkansas and love these videos. I have started sharing links to them as we all live near lakes and find this idea of living ON one really cool. Hopefully this will boost your views.

    Your house appears to float a little higher off the water. Did you use thicker floats than other floating houses or did you build with light weight materials? If you did use thicker floats what thickness and what vendor?

    New old guy subscriber, but now lookin" back at previous stuff. We have to use the finger pokin" paper in our camper, but it too has a shower and sink if in a hurry. Easier for us to get water and stuff. Can't wait fir the new build, but no Tiky Toky for me as it will likely be banned or restricted at some point after the balloons

    Iko looks like she would just swim over to the bank herself whenever she needs to go.

      @KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses  ปีที่แล้ว

      wish she would 😅 she won’t jump off the dock to save her life tho. we’re working on installing a ramp to see if she might swim over if she could wade in instead of jumping haha. we’ll see

    Hi. Why do you have city water but still pump drinking water from below? Is the city water not drinkable? Also, does anyone go fishing there?

    • @KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses
      @KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Good question! We don’t trust any city water too much 😂 v concerning when you look up the legal levels of things like arsenic allowed 🙈 this lake however is pure, natural mountain spring water. & yes, fishing is big here!

    Any fee or permits to have a house to floating on rivers or lake? Or it's a private lake?

    • @KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses
      @KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Both fee & permit! On our lake at least (owned by a power company) there are no more allowed, so in addition to the permit & fee you gotta buy an existing cabin in order to have one.

      Trash we take to the parking lot at the marina, there’s a dumpster there 😊
      For mail we have a P.o. box! We can send super large packages (like when we got our fridge) straight to the marina, but normal mail just goes to the post office. 👌

    Any one have any info on where I can find these cabins for sale

    • @KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses
      @KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses  ปีที่แล้ว

      truthfully they don’t go on the market often, & when they do they’re often gone in a day or two. but your best best is probably FB marketplace & craigslist in an area like here that allows them 🙌 maybe save the search so it will alert you when a new one is listed?
      On the other hand - true houseboats (not floating cabins) are pretty easy to find anywhere & can be a good alternative depending on how you plan to use it!
      Good luck! 💙

      So annoying & nonsensical how many places this type of thing is illegal… such a sustainable, enjoyable, & affordable way of life.. so you know the govt can’t be having something like that 🙈 Lollll.
