ronluna 17 Posted August 9, 2010 There's some neighborhoods near my home that are all floating houses. I wouldn't want to live in a home like that :-\We have a house in the province that is always flooded. there are boats but it is harder to travel. I'm worrying someday the whole house will sink into the flood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheBistroButcher666 228 Posted August 9, 2010 i only wonder how the sewerage system are like...will the stool from/of these houses floating on the river nearby? lol <---- this gross if happened Well I know that if the sewage was draining into the lake the environmentalist hippies would burn down the houses (or at least protest about it (laughs)). The lake these houses are (kind of) on, also has the two longest floating bridges in the world. I cross the longest one everyday for work and sometimes when traffic is backed up, I sometimes become a little uneasy at the idea of being stuck on a floating concrete bridge lol!
