    This is the second episode of Home Makers, a new Zillow series profiling visionaries who design and build unique homes. Each episode is tailored to its subject by a different filmmaker, offering fresh perspectives and an emphasis on creativity.

    It’s actually a very well written and comprehensive book czcams.com/users/postUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 . I wanted to pair this with an updated book on local codes to start planning a post-retirement dream shop. I think I have just about everything I need between the two. The extra plans available for purchase towards the end are priced almost as much as full home plans, not little sheds however.

      @sportshootinghonduras8338 Před 4 lety +3

      It is recommended that the house is located in a place with calm waters, 2nd ; houses are supported by two piles inserted in the seabed, diagonally. fixing the house and there is no horizontal movement, the only movement is if the water level rises or falls, the house follows. The difficult thing is the calculation and design of the floating concrete foundation that allows you to add loads, this process does not use stairofoam.

I am wondering is there any sort of anchor used to keep the floating community stay at a given location, because I don't understand how can a concrete foundation on itself help keep everything together. When you say watch that video are you referring to the video of this post? I don't see where it mentions this mechanism.
