#ThrowbackThursday: Float Cabin Tours - Bathroom and Guest Room
Last week I shared the remodeled kitchen in our float cabin. From Summer 2011 through Spring 2012, with the help of our good friend John, we completed several float cabin improvement projects. The most involved was the addition of a bathroom and side porch.
Follow these links for details about the construction process.

Bathroom and Porch
There's a compost toilet, tub, a pantry and a repurposed nightstand for storage. And now there's no need to climb the cliff to an outhouse.

| The new bathroom. |
But the most welcome addition is the compost toilet. An added bonus is that it is an approved black water solution that meets our water lease requirements.
 |
| A room for guests. |

| A new window. |
It's also a good place to keep my books and crafting supplies, and as a nice spot to lounge in the sun to read, thanks to the new window.
Come take a YouTube video tour to see for yourself.

Thank you. We love it. - Margy
DeleteWhat a great way to get away from the hustle and bustle. I think I could adjust to living there :)
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you took the time to share your world at 'My Corner of the World' this week! Thanks!
It really isn't much different from living in town except the view is a whole lot better. - Margy
DeleteOh wonderful landscape, it's a paradise I think so,
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Germany

Wayne's ancestors came from Germany several generations back. And we meet lots of German tourists here in BC. - Margy
DeleteLooks like a little patch of heaven!
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday!
Yes, but we have had to build our own floating patch. - Margy
DeleteI loved the tour! What an amazing place. John is quite the dude, too!
ReplyDeleteHe sure is. We couldn't do it without him, especially right now. - Margy
DeleteGlad to see your lovely home once again, Margy. You indeed live in a patch of heaven.
ReplyDeleteDo link up your post to #WW. We go live tomorrow with a new post and linky. :)

We were so happy to find it after living for so long in Los Angeles. - Margy
DeleteWonderful landscape!
ReplyDeleteWe love the view over to Goat Island from our front porch. Watching the shadows from the clouds on the hillside is fun. - Margy
DeleteProper toilet placement. Looking at the first photo, I was amazed where your floating home position was very special. The view is very nice. Greetings from Indonesia
ReplyDeleteI saw what looked like floating homes in one of your photos. - Margy
DeleteThe floating cabin looks ideal. Thanks for your recent comment on my blog. The Piper Arrow is a wonderful plane. Had a Cherokee 140 for many years and loved traveling in it.
ReplyDeleteWayne used to have a Cherokee 140 before we were married. - Margy
DeleteAlways enjoy visiting your float cabin (and I know you are missing it this Spring.). You know what I loved best about this post? That John made the window cut with his chain-saw! “We” are long-time home remodelers and I thought Bill (the half of ‘we’ that has the actual talent) was the only person who has ever used that particular tool for that purpose! He scared me half to death, but the remodeled attached garage made a great additional bedroom when we needed to separate two pre-teen sons who had shared one up to that point (we ended up with a five-bedroom house.). Fun memories.
ReplyDeleteYes, we are missing it. No garden this year for sure. If I don't get seeds in the ground by May they just don't take hold before the summer heat. Yes, John is a master with the chainsaw. - Margy
DeleteWhat an interesting place to be in!
ReplyDeleteIt is both interesting and inspiring to be here. - Margy
DeleteWould be so Wow to be on the water like that. Love your place. Thanks for visiting so I could come visit you. :) Happy week.
ReplyDeleteWe go out in boats and they rock a lot at anchor. Our 40x40' float is much more stable even in wind waves and boat wakes. - Margy
DeleteMargy - when I come to visit, we might have to find another place for that firewood! You know I love your place, and I have never been there!
ReplyDeleteThe wood shelf inside lasts for about five days during the coldest months. That way we can wait for breaks between rain storms to bring in more. - Margy
DeleteOh dear Margy! You really make me wanna see that cabin of yours! If only I was living on the same state, I would have begged you to invite me on it! Love the guest room and it feels super cozy there even with all those beautifully chopped wood on it! Happy Thursday dear Margy!
ReplyDeleteWho knows, you seem to get to a lot of places around the world. - Margy
