    Your house is beautiful, though not typical. I think that only exceptional people with good energy can live like this.

    Wow, what a lovely little floating home. I do like the layout, especially how it affords you a larger living area and how the doors separate everything. I also love the way you have decorated it as it obviously uniquely you. You've really put your stamp on it. Yeah, you have every right to be proud of your home, its beautiful.

    What an absolutely beautiful floating home, every room is good enough for a magazine shoot! The only plain area is the wall in front of your lovely sofa and I see have no telly. If it was me, I'd have more book shelves as I love old books. Is that how you like it or have you plans or have you a secret massive TV? 😂. Thank you, Tony 😊

      @thefloatinghome17  ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Hello Tony, thanks for the magazine shoot comment, what a compliment :) no we have no TV, we do have a small projector where we hang a sheet on the wall opposite the sofa and watch a movie every so often. Another bookshelf is a nice idea however we keep buying books and not reading them so this may encourage that more :D

    What a lovely boat. My friends had a narrow boat but everything was put away & very minimal & clinical. Your is so homely & calming. I love your veg & herb gardens. Lauren is so talented making the planters, decking, shelves, bathroom & macramé. Very artistic & must be satisfying when you have made it yourselves & looks so good plus saves you money! You just give off good vibes & its lovely being so near nature every day.

  • @sparsh415
    @sparsh415 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice home,loving the veg Garden and Solar Panels on the roof. Get rid of the Grill if you can and create more storage in the space= use a George Foreman or similar product. These are better than undercounter Grills as well as used on counter top and easy to watch food cooking. I just keep mine on top of my Oven and even leave it there when cooking most times.🙂

  • @Loobylooto2
    @Loobylooto2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Treat your yam as you would a potato- peel chop boil or once cold fry in shallow oil
    Try a proper Jamaican sweet potato with some fried or boiled plantain
    Serve with anything that has gravy and you will love this dish 😊

    You first peel and slice the yam in rounds (better if not too thin), then you cook the yam like you would a potato, you add it to boiling salted water for 20 minutes to half an hour. Usually very delicious.

    Cute. Although I would say, you'd have to be close friends in that bed. Lol
    For me, I'm a bloke. That is, if it has to moved to clean around it, and it serves no useful purpose, we don't have it.
    But then, we live in a ten meter American caravan in New Zealand we tow with a ute. Ford ranger.
    But like a barge I suppose, cept we don't float.
