What a beautiful home! I don’t think I would be able to leave it if I lived there. There isn’t a single thing I would change which is something to say. It’s not unusual for me to comment on a house and then add a “but” in there. I guess I could say I would add at least one more solar panel. Maybe 2 to help reduce the draw from the washer. But it’s not necessary…such a peaceful place and the chairs out front would definitely be a favorite spot. Love hanging chairs! You both did an excellent job. One last thing—LOVE that copper sink! That is amazing. God bless their home!

A few questions, I hope you see this. 1. Do you pay any kind of slip fee for tieing to shore as you do? 2. You mentioned you have a city water supply. How do you attach to that? 3. Are you able to be where you are because of your jobs, or can anybody do just what you are doing on that lake? 4. Will you share the total cost of your build please?

The first time they were featured I was hooked by these two and now I watch every episode they do I agree Sarah and Brandon and Iko are definitely worth everyone's time they are awesome.

Hello Sarah & Brandon 👋.
Nice to see you again, in your lovely new (and improved) floating home❤🎉
You two young folks have built a lovely nautical tupe home. I just love it, and appreciate your sharing it with us. I do recall meeting you and touring touring the first smaller fliating home. And yes, LOL, I remember seeing what a tight fit your bedroom mattress was! LOL...
GOD bless you both, and I look forward to watching you again some day❤❤
You young folks give me hope for our future generations❤

If you don't follow Sarah and Brandon on their channel, you don't know what you're missing. They are hardworking and so much fun to watch. Brandon is hilarious but most importantly he is humble. Go check out their yearly lake clean up that Brandon oversees. So glad they were featured again in this new build.

Brandon and Sarah...such an inspirational couple whose minds and hearts are always focused on the bigger picture of helping their neighbors, their community, and the environment. This was a great tour of their slice-of-heaven home.

What I love about people in this generation is that they are completely shattering traditional ways of life. This is what happens when you are allowed to paint outside the box at a young age. We now see that anything and everything is possible. I am not a jealous person, but I can admit I'm happily jealous of Sarah and Brandon's living arrangement. That being said, a win for one is a win for all! Bravo to you both. Thank you for the inspiration to all of us viewers :)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this home. Beautiful design, gorgeous kitchen sink, great paint job, loving the hexagonal window, the vanity nook is cute, the scenery is stunning, and Iko is the cutest pup.

[shirley]

What a sweet, adorable and smart couple...wish you lot's of joy on your journey.

Great Job
I hope all the hurricane stuff didn't hurt your house.

I remember your first houseboat... this is a wonderful upgrade❣️ You really outdid yourselves. It's warm, welcoming, beautiful to look at, and very functional. So glad you kept a comfy couch. Enjoy your beautiful tiny houseboat 😍.

Wow, what an awesome tiny house and the nice thing is, it does not look tiny nor cramped!! That I could live in quite happily!! Great job!! Thank you for sharing!

[ChristianSouthernGirl]

Love the secret hanging bed and love the placement of all your windows!!!! I can't imagine having those views everywhere!!

[marthajean]

That grant they wrote is brilliant - helps people and the environment at the same time. Great work!

[bonnies]

What a fantastic couple you are!! You have built one beautiful home ~ it is so cozy, warm and inviting. And your "backyard" is truly amazing ~ what a glorious life you are living!! I saw your 1st boat, so can appreciate how much work you put into this one ~ you are awesome! Sending you light, love, peace, joy and abundance always. I love you, and your doggie.

[maggiesteen]

Congratulations to you both for holding tight to what matters most in life.This was such a pleasure to watch and save to one of my all time favorite videos. It was like a nice cup of your favorite coffee or the smell of an apple pie baking in the oven. It was really that good. God bless you and your doggy too 🙏

[shellyackerman]

What an awesome upgrade! Always nice to be able to create a 2.0 version and utilize what you learned from the previous one. They did a great job! What a fab thing to live in a floating house!

[peterddb]

I remember watching their first tiny houseboat video. This new one looks like they definitely are enjoying themselves. Good for them!

[janefryer]

I love the couple, their house is incredible ! What an inspiration! 😘

[bonniehall]

I love your lifestyle. I lived in a tree house on a river bank for 12 years. I have great memories!
