I remember your first houseboat... this is a wonderful upgrade❣️ You really outdid yourselves. It's warm, welcoming, beautiful to look at, and very functional. So glad you kept a comfy couch. Enjoy your beautiful tiny houseboat 😍.
💙🙏 thank you!
Did you contract a naval architect to design your floating home ?
What I love about people in this generation is that they are completely shattering traditional ways of life. This is what happens when you are allowed to paint outside the box at a young age. We now see that anything and everything is possible. I am not a jealous person, but I can admit I'm happily jealous of Sarah and Brandon's living arrangement. That being said, a win for one is a win for all! Bravo to you both. Thank you for the inspiration to all of us viewers :)
Love your outlook, and I'm with you 💯
Well, actually it's not a generational thing at all. It just appears as if these things are more prevalent today due to social media and all the DIY TV shows out there. In fact, all the great ideas for solar and wind powered homes and off grid living in general actually fist came about in the 1970’s. And floating homes on both lakes and oceans have been around for a very long time indeed. There were also plenty of people living in vans way back when and the only difference between then and now is that back then you could not start a TH-cam channel about your life in a van and make a lot of money off it. The bottom line is that while people have actually been doing stuff like this forever, it is only in the past 20 years or so that we have been exposed to their lives through social media and the like.
❤❤🤗
@@SLOBeachboyYou're right. This is nothing new and has nothing to do with this generation. Sharing it on social media is. Look at some old National Geographic magazines and you'll see all this and more from all over the world.
Not taking anything away from these two youngsters, but my generation was the forerunner for any/all ‘painting outside the box,’ thank you very much. 😊
Wow, what an awesome tiny house and the nice thing is, it does not look tiny nor cramped!! That I could live in quite happily!! Great job!! Thank you for sharing!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this home. Beautiful design, gorgeous kitchen sink, great paint job, loving the hexagonal window, the vanity nook is cute, the scenery is stunning, and Iko is the cutest pup.
His voice is soooooo calming!
What a sweet, adorable and smart couple...wish you lot's of joy on your journey.
What a beautiful home! I don’t think I would be able to leave it if I lived there. There isn’t a single thing I would change which is something to say. It’s not unusual for me to comment on a house and then add a “but” in there. I guess I could say I would add at least one more solar panel. Maybe 2 to help reduce the draw from the washer. But it’s not necessary…such a peaceful place and the chairs out front would definitely be a favorite spot. Love hanging chairs! You both did an excellent job. One last thing-LOVE that copper sink! That is amazing. God bless their home!
If you don't follow Sarah and Brandon on their channel, you don't know what you're missing. They are hardworking and so much fun to watch. Brandon is hilarious but most importantly he is humble. Go check out their yearly lake clean up that Brandon oversees. So glad they were featured again in this new build.
I agree! I found them when THGJ featured their first home and have been following them ever since
Really appreciate the support guys! 💙🥹

This book is a comprehensive guide for anyone who wants to create various types of garden buildings. The book provides clear and detailed instructions with numerous photos. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxBE-xSmFU7PIaMFUmmhnFxE035s5svtxeAs a novice, I appreciated the book's step-by-step approach to the basics of building. The book also appeals to the more advanced DIY enthusiast with projects ranging from simple to complex. The book is up to date with the latest trends, such as solar panels, green roofs, and sweet chestnut shakes. The book has inspired me to pursue more projects in the future.
I’m a huge fan of Keeping Afloat With The Jones, so glad to see them featured on this channel.
Thanks for watching us! Very humbled to be on this channel.
🙏🙏 Thanks so much Janet! 💓
So clever to have the ladder double as shelves.
When you said you take your dog to the bank...I thought " That's as good a place as any to make a deposit." 🤣
Hahahaha🤣
The first time they were featured I was hooked by these two and now I watch every episode they do I agree Sarah and Brandon and Iko are definitely worth everyone's time they are awesome.
That grant they wrote is brilliant - helps people and the environment at the same time. Great work!
Brandon and Sarah...such an inspirational couple whose minds and hearts are always focused on the bigger picture of helping their neighbors, their community, and the environment. This was a great tour of their slice-of-heaven home.
1 dollar a gallon and you pump out 300 gallons a week = 300 dollars a week thats 1200 dollars a month that you just pushed over to the average tax payers a living expanse they should be taking themself based on their own choices of living on a floating home .. Yes must be nice to just push your living cost over to some other ppl. taxes..
Hello Sarah & Brandon 👋.
Nice to see you again, in your lovely new (and improved) floating home❤🎉
You two young folks have built a lovely nautical tupe home. I just love it, and appreciate your sharing it with us. I do recall meeting you and touring touring the first smaller fliating home. And yes, LOL, I remember seeing what a tight fit your bedroom mattress was! LOL...
GOD bless you both, and I look forward to watching you again some day❤❤
You young folks give me hope for our future generations❤
I love that you don't have to worry about to many people just dropping by.
Love the secret hanging bed and love the placement of all your windows!!!! I can't imagine having those views everywhere!!
I love the couple,their house is incredible ! What an inspiration! 😘
I remember watching their first tiny houseboat video. This new one looks like they definitely are enjoying themselves. Good for them!
I’m about to blow your mind…..
They never have to mow the grass
What a fantastic couple you are!! You have built one beautiful home ~ it is so cozy, warm and inviting. And your "backyard" is truly amazing ~ what a glorious life you are living!! I saw your 1st boat, so can appreciate how much work you put into this one ~ you are awesome! Sending you light, love, peace, joy and abundance always. I love you, and your doggie.
Congratulations to you both for holding tight to what matters most in life.This was such a pleasure to watch and save to one of my all time favorite videos. It was like a nice cup of your favorite coffee or the smell of an apple pie baking in the oven. It was really that good. God bless you and your doggy too 🙏
That sink is one of a kind 😍😍 Completely understand why its Sarahs Fav feature, its mine too 😍 defo a steal!!
floating garden attached... that would be lovely.
I truly believe that making an adjustment here is not easily. It's inspiring that they are able to manage it. 😌😌
Love your tiny floating house!!! ❤❤
Have you ever considered travelling without that sweet dog, we are in our 60's and after a trip to mexico, and a trip on the rivers in england we will be done. We are used to lake Ont in waupoos we are happy to come and meet him on your time we are excelllent chefs and love the sparkles on the ceiling and the wind and storms coming across the water!
What a great life! Lovely home thanks for sharing! Happy Christmas!
Ahhh it's the Joneses! This is the first overlap from a creator I already follow! So glad to see these two and their awesome tiny home. I missed the first video so I'll be watching that next.
Your channel is beautiful because you do your work from the heart and it is felt immediately from the first minutes of each video! All your new stories inspire something new and limitless in your life, and the examples of these people with their houses show that everyone can make childhood dreams a reality! Usually it's not that difficult, but the main thing is that the desire is as strong as a dream in your heart and mind, which can become a reality and inspire many others in the TH-cam community! I sincerely thank the author of the channel and the people with big hearts who are not ashamed to dream no matter what, and inspire such a large number of people. I am sure that this video also moved someone and made it possible to feel alive again at full strength and to breathe a mouthful of dreams into your heart closed by the worries of everyday life! We also realize our childhood dreams by building miniature houses, and this gives us incredible delight and joy in our hearts and enormous variety in our adult and seemingly gray life, breathing so many colors into it! Thank you all for the wonderful! DIY!))
I love your lifestyle. I lived in a tree house on a river bank for 12 years. I have great memories!
What an awesome upgrade! Always nice to be able to create a 2.0 version and utilize what you learned from the previous one. They did a great job! What a fab thing to live in a floating house!
🤍🤍🤍
I absolutely loved seeing this newest build of yours. I appreciate the scientific explanations that you both provided. I can listen to Brandon's drawl all day plus the humor & both of your shout outs to Mom. Both of your dedication to conservation is beautiful and to be commended. Future Blessings 🙏🏽
Thank you! ❤
I loved their previous house. So I'm super excited to see what they've done this time.
I have been watching similar videos cause I can't decide what I want yet. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE UR HOUSE AND SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT!!! BEST 1 YET!!!
Very cool 😎 I’m intrigued. Thank you for sharing this 😊
This is one beautiful home.
Omgoodness i love this couple. Been following them for a while now
I love this home!!! Great Floorplan and I adore the decor!
Btw, ty for the tour of your tiny house. It's amazing! Your tiny house is beautiful! Who says you need a huge castle just for 2 people, right? Tiny houses are the way of the future!
I talked to them when i was fishing a kayak tournament last year. Her dog was having a field day when i caught a fish!
😅💙💙💙
Very beautiful tiny house boat ! Thanks for sharing! 😊❤️
The house is beautiful and what a nice serene location to live in. Thank you for sharing it with us
Suggestion: you can build simple racks / shelves against the tiny house and plant whatever veggies, etc and save on grocery bills. Hope it helps. :)

I just love your new house boat! You both are such a beautiful couple. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Merry Christmas from Ohio❤🐾🎁🎄🙏🏻⛄️
I love the big batteries!!! A plus!! TheEnd!!!!
This is beautiful!
Love their new home and the song!!
Beautiful simplicity.
Wow now this is absolutely beautiful
Utterly charming people. That kitchen is fantastic.
Hi folks! I just love the beautiful life y'all are living! God bless.
Gorgeous couple and amazing home. Idyllic living ❤️
Love the house, very cool. Most interesting is the accent of the 2. For a Brazilian, that learnt "normal" english, without accent, is very different to hear them speaking, nice though. Congrats to Brandon and Sarah, they built a very nice floating house
Thanks for sharing this! 💯
Waving hello from Kingston Ont ! Love your home
Western NC---yah!!!!! I'm in western OR (also pretty awesome). I went to NC for some job training and drove out west--WOW!
Fontana lake is absolutely beautiful ! I love it there ! If I see yall I will tell my hubby to slow the boat down so not to sends waves towards your awesome home lol ...
Absolutely beautiful view❤
Beautiful build too!
Just beautiful ❤️
What a great life you are choosing.
Brandon's mom has good taste in colors. 😁 In my family is the other way around, my mom asks my sister and I about color choices... lol.
❤❤❤.
Beautiful home, beautiful couple.
Beautiful!!
Wow just a awesome tiny home and location
BEAUTIFUL!!!
I LOVE this house! It's beautiful on the inside, the location is fantastic, and it looks so peaceful.
I'm curious how it is with bugs out there on the water near all trees? Do you guys have any issues with them?
LOVE ❤LOVE ❤ LOVE The views & your floating home # 2
Thanks for sharing bits about of your work and accomplishments! I’m curious about the grant to subsidize pump out rates and would love to hear more. I’d like to see if this is something that our city harbors (Juneau, Alaska) would considered looking into. Thanks!
Excellent video Jenna, & what a wonderful honor to be featured a second time!! 🙏 sailboat tour up next?! 😉
I would need to have a rail around the upstairs loft to prevent falling off the edge. This would be important to guests who might forget where they are
Love Iko, and what alot do know about the breed unlike others is they are very adaptable to living in tiny apartments to boats etc, they are a low barking, low noise dogs, but energy wise when they wanna go heads up lol, but before I get diareah of the mouth about Iko lol, love the new build just curious of where your located if the lake ever freezes up in winter months and how do deal with it thanks, and btw chi chi our rescue is waving a paw lol
Thank you! Iko is the best 🩷
the lake does not freeze in the winter luckily!
Very pretty !!
This is a fun channel. A lot of good ideas and creative homes.
Love the three of You.
Stunning
I remember the first one and loving this one too, awesome 😊
Love your copper sink. I am a huge copper lover and your sink is amazing! Love your floating house!
I've got to admit that's an amazing spot.
Beautiful
Great stuff!
Love that lipstick shade on you!❤
Wonderful ♥️
Love your upgrade, it’s so spacious 🥰
Awesome!
Gorgeous home and area!!!
Yay!! Sarah, Brandon and Iko have made the big leagues!!!!!!!
Yeah I love these guys. I watch there TH-cam channel.
We also have smaller loads we do slightly more frequently
Wonderful home & great loving couple
❤❤❤
Wow! That’s so cool to live on the water, and to see the wild life. Have you ever worried about any wild life coming up to your house?
really cool👍
This has to be one of my favorite places featured! It's so cute, cozy, unique, spacious, serene, and functionable. I'm so curious about "outside" the home functions, like... Do they own land to? Are their vehicles parked there? Do they boat into town?!?!? I have so many questions! But I'm also so much in love with it.
❤❤❤
Beautiful 😊
what would be cool would be a floating garden? I love your HOME!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I could do this in Minnesota. I think a bubbler system would solve the ice issues.
Very nice place
Love this. Well done 👍👍❤
I love this and I love the propane I love the propane!!! TheEnd!!!!!!!!
Gorgeous, and so cheap if you're an pescatarian. I'd definitely become one living there ❤
