How to LEVEL a FLOATING House?! 🤔🛠

After noticing the side docks on our houseboat were "bowing" up slightly, we worked this week to level them back out again with the main house dock! Keep in mind that the FLOATS we put underneath lighter-weight areas like these side docks are shorter (and therefore less buoyant) than the taller floats underneath the house. Float dimensions & distribution happen in the build planning phase of course, rather than where we are at now (after the fact, with the house already built), but nonetheless are another huge factor in keeping a floating cabin level. Watch here to learn more about float distribution (2nd half of video): • New FLOATING TINY HOUS...
To see us install the LIFT FLOATS: • Adding new lift FLOATS... (our friend's house) or • 🫧 Exploring UNDER our ... (our old house)
We also worked on cleaning out + taping out our remodel project house! We hope to sell this newly renovated floating cabin to a lucky buyer this coming spring, & have been working hard on restoring the life back into it for the past couple months. Check out this playlist to get caught up with our renovation there: • The "Blue Bungalow" Fu...

Hey guys. This is Jim Lewis again. Love watching you in every video and very jealous of you on Fontana. They have really improved the marina dock and store since we were there. You are doing such a wonderful job on your videos and bringing back many memories for this old man. Fontana sushi; that is a new one. Maybe you can get them serving it at the Inn. Take care, enjoy your life and many thanks for renewing many old and wonderful memories of that beautiful lake and village.

Not sure if I laughed harder at the polar plunge memory (I’m totally with Brandon on that one!) or Iko tearing her bed up and then refusing to hop onto that fancy new bed you got her. She was AMPED UP, wasn’t she?! 😂😂So sweet though when she finally got in bed and daddy climbed on there with her. So so sweet! 🥰🩷🩵 Great video!

Another great episode. Why use bags of concrete mix (which will harden with moisture) rather than bags of rocks?
@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses
@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses 7 месяцев назад
Thanks! You could use rocks if you wanted to. We just went with quikrete for precision. It’s a uniform size that fits perfectly between our joists, so you can get the max weight evenly distributed in the smallest area. When it hardens they basically become perfectly sized identical rocks. 🙌

You need a wet suit to go under water when it gets so cold. [Do the mountain lions/bears ever look like they want to swim out to your house?]
@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses
@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses 6 месяцев назад
We both have one! It’s just wetsuits help you slow the loss of your body heat but they still don’t prevent that initial shock of the cold 😆🥶 Haha good question! Not at all actually. They’re still wild enough around here to see humans as a threat, they run away as soon as they see us (or hear Iko, whichever comes first lol)

Hello from the Arctic.. Just curious, why buy bags of concrete mix, when you're surrounded by free rocks ? 😀
@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses
@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses 7 месяцев назад
The concrete mix is just a few bucks per bag, but we went with it for precision! You could use rocks if you wanted to. But this way, the “rocks” created by the concrete hardening over time are all identical in weight and distribution over the floats, making sure there’s no chance of unevenly warping the dock in the future. 🙌 Also… the Arctic?! How cool!!! My immediate thought was - are you a scientist?? Photog?

The quikrete will harden in the bag and stay on the floats. Look up quikrete walls. Pretty cool
@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses
@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses 7 месяцев назад
The concrete hardens in the bag when it gets wet & sits in a solid block on top of the floats, like a cinderblock but heavier. It won’t stay powdered &/or disintegrate into the lake. But sand would, which wouldn’t hurt anything of course, it would just defeat the purpose

the concrete hardens inside the bags and then the bags slowly disintegrate, it’ll end up being a bunch of identical “rocks”. Sand would just fall into the lake (which won’t hurt anything but what’s the point ya know?) haha

Congrats on being featured on Tiny House Giant Journey again! Sarah look up Redneck Sushi by Trisha Yearwood and make it for a delicious and easy treat. It's a hit with all the guys I work with. Every time we have a potluck, I have to make it. I even have their girlfriends/wives messaging me for the recipe. I'm not a fan of seaweed or raw fish so Redneck Sushi is my go to. The name is deceiving because it's nothing like real sushi but still really good.

😅 just a pilot! Didn’t wanna make it too long but seeing that folks enjoyed it, i’ll add more detail in the future. Yes just veggies (cucumber, carrot, arugula) since we didn’t have any fish on hand. Did not cook them, only cooked the sticky rice. Topped with sriracha mayo & crumbled fried onions, served with coconut amino acids (healthier alternative to soy sauce with same flavor). If you were to try something similar at home I would make sure to add in some cream cheese too! 🙌
