Floathouses

I seem to take a lot of photos of float houses around here. This first one belongs to Jonathan's family. I tis in a cove near here. The water has just about reclaimed it. We have salvaged a bunch of stuff from it for the cabin.


This one is also on (well just offshore) the island. It is one of my favorites with a separate floating chicken coop, greenhouse and workshop all floating in a beautiful cove. My friend Jenny and I dove around this one a bit.




Floathouses can also be for community business, this one is the community center and postoffice. The school district is housed on a floathouse and Fish and game have floathouses scattered around to use as bases in the field.

Why do they have floathouses? Why not have a regular house.
