It’s actually a very well written and comprehensive book kzbin.infoUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 . I wanted to pair this with an updated book on local codes to start planning a post-retirement dream shop. I think I have just about everything I need between the two. The extra plans available for purchase towards the end are priced almost as much as full home plans, not little sheds however.

[@vickystevenson1814]

I'm 64. .. would love to live in these kind of home...amazing.

[@1866drmills]

You sir & your teams creations have been added to my dream board. Good day to you.

[@KimDeMent]

This is fantastic! I can't even believe that I am going to have a home built by Marc in the next year. Great video.

[@jacobm9574]

Whats the company called?

[@avarodriguez4790]

Nel Matsson oooo are you from Australia????

[@Austin_Hart]

Congratulations! What a blessing. Do you have any updates on your build? I love these homes.

[@olliee1919]

Do you need building consent for these?

[@JoshuaDStewart]

@@olliee1919 Yes. Portland has very specific building codes for these exact type of homes.

[@kittykatBflat]

I don’t understand how plumbing works in these.

[@koogle612]

Was offered a job as a lead for a crew that builds house foundations for use in the water in Sausalito. Really regret turning it down - this is fascinating engineering.

Omg that's so beautiful

My DREAM HOME❤

[@stephengregory1655]

This is incredibly cool

[@boojonbreecycy]

I wish I could have one of these built but I don't think none of the rivers near me would allow it...:(

[@malikhamza2457]

I start my home on water at the age of 18 by my self and it took me an hole year to complete after watching your videos I had to ask that it's isn't an ordinary work that anyone can do only special people with special abilities can do it keep doing this I love your work love from Pakistan

[@houseboatlistings1167]

Very nice floating homes!

[@MrDavidelliottjr]

These just look beautiful. Like to have one on aluminum barges that double as storage and be pushed by out boards.

[@andreadorethy8394]

Very awesome wish i could live on the water .

[@kimberlyburge6498]

So Cool!!!

[@genius-no5sl]

Incredible

[@kal2l]

Their work is amazing , maybe there is a solution to moving when it sinks up front i think looking into inflatables for the journey they might be a great assist .

[@christophercopperfield3821]

Ground breaking project

[@marcelinojr.deperalta3735]

[@jenniferlynncalogero896]

[@anushadivya5634]

Can u explain the procedure to build floating house in real life please I need it for my school project

[@Rod-bp8ow]

The wonders of perseverance as well as hardwork always pays off, to all of them that knows the foundations of water, land, natural resources and all things that consists the things that consists life and existence. It is calm and certain as well to them that knows recycling the scrap and bringing the discarded into healthier and tested and proven ones as well. Congratulations, shipping to countries worldwide UK U.S EU, ASIA and the rest of the world.

[@heathenwolf8903]

How does one contact this person??????

[@dneuman7455]

After I do the exterior wood and paint and some interior boards I might show it for sale taking down payment.

[@ChaojianZhang]

I am just curious how do you stable the houses, especially when connecting them with roads?

[@sportshootinghonduras8338]

It is recommended that the house is located in a place with calm waters, 2nd ; houses are supported by two piles inserted in the seabed, diagonally. fixing the house and there is no horizontal movement, the only movement is if the water level rises or falls, the house follows. The difficult thing is the calculation and design of the floating concrete foundation that allows you to add loads, this process does not use stairofoam.

[@ChaojianZhang]

@@sportshootinghonduras8338 Thank you very much, it really helps me appreciate this kind of structures better!

[@hannahpham3121]

Hi. I would want one with a large submarine underneath. 5-10 stories.

[@JeremiahLiend]

Using logs is crazy. Just crazypants. Closed styro is problematic, sure. But, it isn't going to get eaten by beavers.

[@aileenroyalista9953]

wow lab it!!!

[@martinar5977]

Cost?

[@md.afranpatwary3097]

😢is this our future house of our Bangladesh.oky we love our country

[@w.a.pperdomo5276]

Now you can use. Floating fundation . Concrete floating... I ve been with the architect coen olthuis, and we are working building floating comunities.... concrete IT s best option. But I Like your idea, and way to do IT.

[@ChaojianZhang]

Hi can you point to more specific references? I am curious how you can stabilize the building, or is there specific requirement on the water conditions?

[@sportshootinghonduras8338]

@@ChaojianZhang A concrete element should be calculated, capable of floating and resisting buoyant force depending on use. so you have a better idea, I was in Ijburg in the Netherlands, watch that video. ..Ijburg is a floating community. I was there and I was trained to implement that construction system in America.

[@ChaojianZhang]

@@sportshootinghonduras8338 Thanks for your reply. I am wondering is there any sort of anchor used to keep the floating community stay at a given location, because I don't understand how can a concrete foundation on itself help keep everything together. When you say watch that video are you referring to the video of this post? I don't see where it mentions this mechanism.

[@alialrashidi1764]

What if I want a balcony with city view ,can you build it *giggles

Can I avoid California taxes by living on a houseboat?

[@liberaltearsaredrowningme7049]

Susan Vue the bigger question is: could you avoid the liberal lunatics in california? I think not

[@SuperJMichael]

LiberalTears AreDrowningMe AMEN!

[@natashanatyji5348]

Waw

[@jnparesa]

Now the bad news, how much does it cost for one of the more basic designs. Then of course the mooring fees.

[@BushPilot444]

That floating community appears to be jammed up against each other with no real views for most.

[@_aidid]

It looks nice, but how long would its foundation survive?

[@williambuck9744]

The good ones sit on stainless steel tanks so they can last forever or at least so long that no one you will ever know will see its end but the cost can be pretty high

[@evertnyburg6546]

this was pan full to watch

[@LacosteBlanc]

I bet Noah would be jaleous. not afraid of floods in that house

[@ninja1676]

once the sea level risen this is what we should do.

I just wonder who gives you permit to put this in a water

[@alexandraa3168]

how much???

[@moonman2588]

Too much

[@williambuck9744]

Way more than a home on land

Lost my home in camp fire purchased water rights in Jantzen beach moorage a called him to get a estimate on new build or rebuild He does build beautiful homes ... but never got a response .....guess i was small potatoes i was not worth the effort wish i would of at least gotten a call back or estimate....oh well.

[@dobermanpac1064]

Very interesting work...I love fabricating too. It's the people that get in my way... LOL

[@thebombblows1221]

How would the police get there or ambulance...?

[@1982MCI]

The Bombblows12 in the same care and ambulance they would use anywhere else. The houses are tied to a boat dock of sorts and would have an address assigned of some sorts and police will head right there with a 911 call

This is cool n all but if they'res gators im cooliN

[@Crushonius]

as much as i love those homes , floating homes are a real issue in urban areas where they block the view of the houses that used to be frontline to the water and the value of those houses that are now in second row go down significantly . just imagine you bought a house that has an unobstructed view of the water which is something that comes with a premium prize only to have someone put a floating house in front of it. the folks in holland already have that problem and its infuriating

[@julianaalcantara3595]

But.... The trash

[@aokspage]

People with money...

[@scammerfckyou]

I hear what do they do with the gray water.people there gray water goes to the same place yours go when your toilets are flushed an go in the sewer its flushed out into the lakes an then pumped bk into cleaning stations to be reused...lol smh

[@DSpeir-pi6tm]

floating homes = house stuck in a mud whole/ sunken house = train load of money to try and get out of mud & huge fines for polluting the river if sunken = useless mud hut !

[@TJ-vl2zl]

Portland is nasty as hell.no joke.

[@shirleyqueen2332]

Wish they start making house like this on land mostly in the flooded regions in the US so peoples homes will not be destroyed.👌♥️🇺🇸🦅🦅🦤
