I'll bet they could give a rats ass about anyone but themselves! Also, they will probably be the first ones to complain about something they don't like!
They had the sense enough to build their dream. I'd bet money you are broke and are just salty that there are people out in the world who are genuinely happy. "Misery loves company." I bet you lose your mind when Elon Musk successfully launches a rocket. Probably jerk off to Bernie Sanders speeches. Lol
If it's what you like and you can afford it. You really do only live once. It is an amazing feat of design and engineering. Very impressive and beautiful! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
Absolutely spectacular and SO lovely! The owners vision, the engineers and movers skills just stupendous work! And an elevator! Awww, to lose the swimming pool was a compromise for sure yet worth the results! I am a ‘water baby’ (born and raised coastal California) and this would be a dream! Every time I view this massive project, I smh in amazement and excitement! Great work everyone!❤️🤗
You still need millions to build something like that so he's wealthy to begin with. I don't think it was all about taxes. He prefers to live on the water.
So they're not living in it?!? So much for growing old in it. Wow. Either that or it wasn't as great as they'd expected and are now hoping to sell it off to someone else. I wonder if it has issues already.
It's not like they bother to consider the feelings of others and their impact on others. Seems pretty damn selfish to me to block other people's view like that.😢
I wouldn't dare live under a bridge given the state of our broken and rundown infrastructure in this Country... Also with barges and ships "accidentally" hitting bridges is becoming more common recently.
but it would have made the project more complicated because being on the water would only give access to the exterior from one side, making it hard to work on the other 3 areas outside the house. Material storage would be more difficult too, having only dock-side available. And there is cost to consider. Taking up a dock space to build the house on water is a lot more expensive than building it on land.
@@9TDF... you heard the part where it was explained that the builder owns the shipyard and land on which the house was initially built, right? So that means he has the space available already. Furthermore, there is a lot more space available on land compared to along a river because a dry dock needs to be docked alongside land on the river and having a dry dock take up mooring space for as long as it took to build that house is not very practical. Also, a dry-dock is a bathtub and everything, materials and equipment have to be lowered into that tub so you need a crane or other equipment to move every item, especially larger and heavier ones, down into that tub.
@@silentepsilon888 I was merely refereeing to building on the water a dry dock would have the advantage of building on land minus that complex transfer and maybe minus deleting the pool unless it was build on stilts like it was for the counter balance.
I gotta hand it to Mike he built a super beautiful house and for the price he paid it's worth every dime . So congratulations to you Mike and Pat Sherlock 💯❤️😇🙏🙌💪✌️😎😃👋👍👑
That's wild, massive house on land, so doing it in water it's a a big feat, Good for you guys, that life doesn't come cheap. You clearly worked yr ass off to get to where you are Mahalo.
I would think every one involved deserves a 20 k bonus. That was beyond huge. I think if they built the base, floated it, and then done the house would have been much better. Just my 2 cents on a 2.5 million question.
I wonder where their other floating home moved to. After watching the move, I was thinking of adding more floats to the heavier end. It looked heavier on one end than the other before it went into the water as the third story was on one side. I'm also wondering if there was a size restraint that you couldn't exceed because I would have made the float wider so that you could walk around it and to give it more stability. Beautiful home and such a commanding location.
$2 million is A LOT, however, given the location I bet that's the price of a small apartment in the area. I wish them the best and hope they have many years of enjoyment.
I'll tell you what those dudes run in those cranes running those boats running. All that are some pretty awesome. People to be able to do the things they do, it's pretty cool.
this is the first floating house I've seen with an actual hull instead of just being constructed on a steel frame attached to a bunch of logs. wonder why you don't see more like this. the log platforms basically have to be rebuilt every ten years.
Modern log floats last more like 70 years. And individual logs can be replaced as necessary. Also, don't forget that a steel hull is subject to rust. Most steel hulls are repainted more often than ever ten years. What a chore that's going to be here!
@@0xKruzr Logs that meet the building code (yes, there is one for floating homes) will probably outlast steel or aluminum pontoons. Or the metal ones will need to be removed every so often and repainted, fasteners replaced, etc. At least that would be easier than repainting this one single large float! But if there are stray currents, galvanic corrosion can really shorten the life a lot. I had an aluminum boat once that spent two years in a marina where there were a lot of small fishing boats - some of which probably had improperly installed electronics. When I hauled it the pitting was severe. As for the overall design sense of this house. Well, it is huge, but aside from that it is unique. And that is one of the wonderful things about floating homes: no two are alike.
@@briangodfrey7424 Lake union is fresh water so probably alot more than 10 years til they need to repaint. You can get alotta years on marine grade paint but it's around $200/gallon.
did you see how little access there was all around the house? how will be get access to the outside of the house when it is in water? How can he store materials with a narrow floating dock alongside only? where do trucks come to deliver materials? Logistics would not work to build it in the final location. Besides, it took 2 years to build and they were still living in their old house in that location while the new one was being built.
I went to college in Seattle & for the 15 yrs. I lived there I ALWAYS dreamed of living in the floating homes on Lake Washington (by the university) & Lake Union. Seattle might not be heaven, but it's in the same zip code!
I saw this house on the market a few years ago and toured it. Not sure why they sold. Hopefully their reason was positive, not a death, health issue, or financial struggles.
Wow ,they won’t uncover the reasons for selling it ,the real state seller ,something is fishy ,with that size of a boat house anything can go wrong,floating disaster ,just banging on its border it’s a problem when the weather is stormy !
As an experienced yacht builder.. l would have thought it better to add flotation at the heavier end rather than ADD weight to replace the empty pool, unless the house is too top heavy... then the original design was not well planned. . ⚓⛵👊
Mike owned a shipyard business he sold in 2008.. In 2009, he opened fremont miscief distiller with his wife. Why are people so lazy to google if they really want to know this info?
Its better To Be rich & Enjoy Your-self while alive Rather than being Poor bcz getting into That Heaven place has Some If NOT ALL, Highly Very Excessively Strict Rules!! & wether rich or poor it dont mean either of them gets there.

How utterly ridiculous. No one needs that much space……especially if they are wanting to live “on” the water. They could do away with the entire second floor and I’d respect them more. It’s 2 people and they need more room…..for “stuff”. So get a storage locker not a massive eye sore. Their first home was beautiful.
This house is on Zillow! That is the first place I saw it, I just happened to stumble across this video. I hate that they're sellin it! Such a cool home. The Zillow listing has a 3D tour with it
A buncha my friends in Bellingham used to go up to Alaska and fish in the summers back in the 90s. 3 months of work and they'd snowboard the rest of the year. Those were the days. The money ain't there in that business anymore.
Ok it's not a boat, its a mobile home. You will never walk up to a steering wheel and move around with it. Like any mobile home it has to be pulled around.
They’re nuts. What about their neighbors? As long as they’re happy, I guess. I think of all the people that are homeless and if you have money, you can do anything. This is arrogance.
All it will take is one tsunami or hurricane! Ouch!! Plus, why the heck did they stick that in such a congested spot?? I would have had it towed out to a very remote spot like you see in the floating houses channels.
There aren't hurricanes in Seattle, and if we have a tsunami so big that it gets through the Puget Sound, through the Locks and reaches Lake Union, we'll MUCH have bigger issues than one destroyed house boat.
When you're that rich, you can do just about anything... but why in the hell would you want park that thing and live underneath a bridge? All that noise....
lot of house, design, and master wood craftsmanship for 2.5 million - that's a good deal. Here in AZ for 2.5m you get a house that was 500K 5 years ago on a golf course will compressed cardboard cabinets, baseboard, and flooring.
It's absolutely a gorgeous Houseboat, I have a question though? how do you get the water needed to shower, wash clothes, and wash dishes? Thanks for sharing. From your new friends here in Lima Peru George and Carmen.
Beautiful house for sure. But Why was it built on a place without a proper launching port? Also seems like some improper design if it can be broken so easily.
The way he said "sunroom" and they both giggled makes me think somthing happened in the "sunroom"...lol!!!

@@PiliaeAlno, they moved their old house out.
Well, narcissists don't care about things like neighbors.

Neighbours lost their view and sunlight in one afternoon.
That looks like their old house.

And they still say "We don't need men, they r useless"
i ❤ how many times they demonstrate the many different ways the house can be destroyed in the computer comps! 🤣🤣

To all the future good times in your floating home!
They should’ve just put the fucking Pool in wth 🤦♂️
That little red house just lost a whole lot of beautiful scenery and natural light, out of one side of their house. I know they were pissed.😭😭
There was already a house there. They just swapped houses.
It's not like they bother to consider the feelings of others and their impact on others. Seems pretty damn selfish to me to block other people's view like that.😢

They should have made a dry dock, built the house in it, then floated it out.
a dry dock needs to be moored along the canal and canal dock space is limited and thus a lot more expensive than building it on land.
Building the house on the water would've solved a lot
