Floating commune????

Good idea! Useing a makeshift barge to move the building materials.

 

Wood shingles on the outside and roof. Look very nice ,but are somewhat expensive. You have shingle mills up there and you can buy directly from them They are the lightest roofing material and very watertight if laid correctly. They will last for 20-30-years-maybe longer- if left alone--and longer with some maintainance.Invite me up and I'll do your siding and roofing for you when it's time ,if you decide on them. Or I'll line you out on procedure. Sounds like a cool way to live-right on the water.

 

anyone is free to come visit! the work would also be greatly welcomed! The area gets a lot of rain, like a swimming pool sized rain drops.... so I have really been thinking lots about how to make everything water tight I was planning on lots of silicone sealing things, lol

 

Rain? Brother,I live in Oregon!!

 

I was thinking of making the large barge into a community building, after all the materials are made into floating homes.

I was hoping to have a large space to use as a theatre/community hall/dance disco lounge/etc!!!


or! it could just be a big room for people in sleeping bags! when all those travelin hippies stop by!

I am assuming lots of tourists will want to stop by... as there are hot springs less than 50kms away, whale watching, surfing, and lots of beautiful coastal scenery!

 

Checked out your pictures. Pretty high standard set there with the big one you showed.

 

lol! I love nature

 

wonderful man have you started building yet at all?

 

nope! I'm still on the other side of the country! well middle-ish, I'm really close to niagara falls

I am planning on constructing in the water just outside of port alberni, british columbia

if you have suggestions lemme know! I am always looking for new perspectives
