Oh, your responses to my home have made my day... no, my year. Thank you!

A few answers to your Q's... Floating homes rest on a pack of logs submerged in the lake water, so they don't rot. 6" x 12" stringers sit perpendicular to the logs. The base of the houseboat sits on those. Stringers and decking are the things that need to be replaced every 15 - 20 years or so.

The house stays connected to a dock with city sewer, electricity and natural gas. My fire is actually a gas stove. That's my heat.

If you’re considering living on a houseboat. Do it!!!
