Text Box: Before purchasing a floating home make certain that you get answers to the following questions….

Aren’t these house boats? Why do you call it a floating home?
Is it like a house, or is it like a boat?
What happens when you flush?
Can I take my house with me when I move?
Can I have a cat or dog? 
Do you rock and roll?
Do things fall off the shelves?
Is it any different to buying a normal home?
What about insurance?
What happens when the tide goes out?


You need answers to these questions and, even though humorous, there is information which you should have before embarking upon a life on the water.
