When I purchased this 1100 square foot A-Frame home on Sauvie Island from my Aunt and Uncle, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I just like to make things pretty. I didn't know about floats and stringers and other issues specific to floating homes. Nor had I really fully considered the challenges of managing an out-of-state remodel. Believing that I was up for the challenge, I grabbed my water wings, sketchpad, and measuring tape and jumped right in! Here is the story of my floating home remodel and accidental flip. If you've ever thought of buying a floating home, I've already tripped over some of the hurdles you will face. So hop on board - hopefully you will enjoy the ride.
