Isn't this amazing? Cute as a button, would be so much fun for the family to share? Yeah that's what we thought too, so Haley Jim and I headed out on a "what the heck" tour of some floating homes Monday afternoon. It all began with this one, cause damn, it only costs $94,000 and the moorage is low, ($350 a month). It has a swim float and you can tie up 2 small boats. The only hiccup was the location, looked a tad industrial. Gawd, if that was the extent of it, but nooooorrrr.
Let's see, Jim said he wouldn't feel safe parking the CAR there. It was right off the freeway and tucked right by the overpass. Still, look at the views...
But it was the walk to the house that did us in. The steps were, um, iffy. There is NO WAY a child could safely make it down them and an adult carrying said child would be terrified! The ramp was three boards laid on a deteriorating excuse for a gangplank. But the worst part of the experience was the DECAY all around! It was so saaaad! Beautiful old tugboats, fishing boats, other floating homes just rotting! No people working on them, heck no people at all. This cute little house just sitting there, (floating there) looking adorable but there's just no way! No Way!
Oh well, it's still fun to look.
