Thanks so much for the feature guys! ⚓️🙏 absolutely beautiful shots you captured, it was so special seeing our home thru your lens. Cheers yall!

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

We had such a great time with y’all; thanks for collaborating with us! Cheers! 🍻 😊✨💕

[@flickeringgreenflame8493]

Hey! Nice playing and singing (singing is more difficult, TBH -- no frets!). Thought it was an actual soundtrack. :)

[@bethgahring6676]

That was really good Brandon! ❤

[@mrichards1114]

We love Brandon, Sarah and Iko! So glad to see them featured on here.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

We were thrilled they’d said yes! And we had the best time hanging with them ☺️

💙💙💙 We appreciate you!

[@rodellwilliams871]

Thank you guys for cleaning up the trash I deeply appreciate that I love people who take pride in their surrounding all the best with your tiny house I am also a huge fan of tiny house living!💪🏾👌🏾👍🏾🌞

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

🙌💕💕💕

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

We feel it’s the least we could do, this is SUCH a special and beautiful place we have the privilege of calling home! 🙏⚓️

[@SustainerNYC]

Beautiful to see the river and land care that Brandon began engaging to honor the water and shore that fills their home with Nature’s healing. I LOVED meeting this fam of three!

[@janmarchand7294]

This is one of the nicest tiny homes I'v seen, and the bonus of being on the water surrounded by beautiful mountains. I'm ready to jump in that water and swim to my heart's content. I'm loving the trough! It's nice and deep, great for a hot soak. And I was so interested when he was talking about that breeze which cools everything off so you can snuggle up on the sofa or bed, sounds great. Having the high ceilings really made it all airy and light. Well done guys!

[@VirginiaBarber-nv9hj]

Thanks for sharing a glimpse into life in the water! I am proud of this young couple for giving back and helping to clean up the lake.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Most welcome! It takes a special person to kickstart a cleanup initiative like this ❤️

[@DavetheMonster]

I've been watching them for roughly 2 years. They got featured on another channel and I don't regret subscribing to them. Top quality content and work!

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Happy to hear it, and we totally agree! 😊🍻

Iko is GORGEOUS. Many more healthy years to the beautiful doggie. Much love from Brasil;

Wow -- amazing house and a really interesting couple. Love the way he's so invested in cleaning up the lake.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Absolutely inspiring how they’re giving back is such an epically beneficial way ❤️✨

SOOO UNIQUE! I live in a Tiny House on LAND, but personally think your Tiny on WATER is the coolest! Best of luck to you on your future "Sail Around the World." Thank you for sharing AND for all the clean-up work you do around the lake!!!

What a view! And building the house relative to the cool air they get, great idea.

Love this couple, their lifestyle, conservation work, and their silly yoga-doing dog Iko. True gems!

Couldn’t agree more!

Love the kitchen. For us, It would be an experience to live in this little "Palace' for a short time. I commend you two for doing it.

[@sandym4875]

Very nice tiny house! Such a fantastic idea how you slanted the roof. The kitchen and the scenery are gorgeous! Cute young couple!

I follow their KZbin channel. Love watching them grow

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Right on! We’ve been following them for quite a while and so happy to finally connect in-person 😄

[@notapplicable-zn9us]

Very nice house; wonderful couple Christian, Wonderful to hear of your plans to go off-grid using the Bluetti. I would love to see a video on how Tiny Houses have been experiances extreme weather events like forest fires. Some Tiny Houses have been able to evade the fires by their ability to be mobile. Yeah to Obama Wind Act!

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Happy to hear it and great video idea! We’ve been working on a tiny house wildfire evacuation plan. Our shuttle bus conversion is actually beefy enough to tow it so we’re adding a hitch. We have a list of safe places to tow it, in case of evacuation. That way, even our A-frame cabin is destroyed, we’ll still have a house. 😅 But it will mean getting cozy with our long-term tiny house tenant that we’ll be selecting soon-definitely we’ll need to thoughtfully talk this through with them.

[@user-jc3pq2oz5x]

Love the water cabin.

[@janlint7434]

Love everything about this video! Beautiful home, beautiful dog, beautiful couple. I'm definitely checking out their KZbin channel.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Happy to hear it! 😊✨

[@segundacuenta726]

Beautifully shot. Well done. Already knew them from other videos. Very nice to see their updates. Amazing and inspiring the part about cleaning the lake. Good stuff.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Thank you kindly! ☺️

Glad you enjoyed it! 💖 Hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend!

[@lindamartin2045]

Very nice, everyone 👍👍❣️🤗 something different.... floating instead of rolling. beautiful! teal is one of my favorite colors. when windows and doors are open, wonder if creatures find their way in🤔🤔🤔 I was picturing a fish jumping thru the bedroom window.

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

🙏 thank you!! Hehe we’ve never had critters make their way into the house before, but perhaps it’s possible! The windows do have screens though so it would have to be thru the door 😋

[@rhondaillar3906]

What a wonderful couple. Congrats on your dreams together. Love your home and dog. Gods blessings.

[@SomethiingClever]

So cool!! Thank you for cleaning up all the garbage. So annoying people don't pickup their garbage -.-

This is for the floating cabin owners, you could put 2 small cleats and a rope and carabiner to clip on to the chairs to theater them in weather?

Thank you, and you got it! 💖

[@usa3479]

Pretty tiny house but my burning thought is Where Does The Dog Use The Bathroom??😀

[@tabitha-sk5kc]

Don't know if it shows in this one because I haven't watched the whole thing yet,but I saw them on another channel and they take Iko in the boat back to shore to use bathroom. And to walk.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

They take Iko to shore multiple times a day via their dinghy. Fortunately it’s just a few minutes away. 😁

[@barbarametzler7534]

6-12-1971 was our wedding day. We are both still amazed that we still love one another and our lives continue to be incredible! As great-grands, we have been blessed with such a a fantastic family! It was a rough beginning. We were only 17+ 18 when we married. We agreed on a large family and were expecting within the first three months. Sadly, we lost our first, second and third babies (two were stillborn and we lost one in an auto accident)…. Then we were blessed with our fourth. . .a son; just five days after our fourth wedding anniversary. Then 14 months later we were blessed with another son. They grew up as best friends. . .and after quite a huge amount of living. . .they now live together. Our advice to couples considering marriage is: "marry your best friend and not only appreciate one another every day, but tell your spouse daily what makes you appreciate them!) ❤️

[@marianfrances4959]

[@mikecagle984]

Looks like a house boat to me...

[@Tam.I.am.]

Put brown sugar and raisins in some of the sourdough bread, and you're forgiven. LOL

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

😆 now that sounds delicious!!

[@Tam.I.am.]

@@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses Those are the things that make the best cinna/sticky buns. :D

[@krystalwirth9646]

How does the dog go to the bathroom? Hopefully you walk him on land 2 x a day.

[@tabitha-sk5kc]

They do. Saw it in another video.

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

Shore! 3x per day 🙌⚓️

[@BrendaLee8]

How do you flush your toilet, or take garbage out, where does dog go to bathroom?

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

When they flush, it goes into a holding tank that gets pumped out periodically. They have to transport their garbage via dinghy boat to the marina, and 3x a day take their dog to shore via the dinghy.

[@peculiarjohnson5697]

Where does poo goes to when you flush the toliet

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Into a holding tank that gets pumped out about 1-2x per month

[@myrabruner3882]

Where does Iko go to the bathroom?

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

Shore ☺️

[@myrabruner3882]

@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses I figured that, but what about during the day before bed & in the morning?

[@lindamiller5489]

What's their channel?

Great solution to mowing the yard, go fishing instead

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

😂👌

[@lindamiller5489]

He said they have a holding tank

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

That’s right and gets pumped out regularly 👍👍

[@chrisp308]

If it's so nice then why are they selling it?

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

They’re not selling it now but in the future, they plan to exchange floating cabin life for sailboat life on the ocean. They did recently renovate another floating cabin that they’re selling 😁

[@eleanorcramer7986]

With portable solar panels or any panels you shouldn’t have to put house in sun.

[@lindamiller5489]

Loft needs a railing, or someone could fall off that bed.. better still a FULL WALL

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

You’d have to roll pretty far to fall off but a railing isn’t a bad idea 😅

[@fluffer4049]

Poor dog.
