Nice picture Glenn, I love this whole concept of "moving houses by barges". Just how is this done..? How is it put on, in sections...and removed, in sections? Do you know anymore details?
Hellow Glenn. Your house ... Us I know you liv near the beach... is that right!

Not quite a beach, Martin. That's one of the problems when we try to translate " strand" from Swedish - so many choices. In our case perhaps bank or waterside might be the most accurate.
We live very close to the water - Saltsjön flows past the window so we see all sizes of boats all day in the Summer. Cruise liners, Finland ferries, Waxholm and Strömma Kanal's ferries going out to skärgården and, of course, hundreds of private boats. The temptation to take pictures is ever-present so, perhaps, too many appear here !Learn as if you were going to live forever. Live as if you were going to die tomorrow - Gandhi
the other day i saw a "LOVE BOAT" going north in front of the house and was captivated....they rarely are in close enough for us to see and i've only seen maybe four or five in the seven years that i've lived here. we occasionally see other water craft like barges and container ships and the occasional odd-boat-out like a sail boat or a cabin cruiser but for the most part it is always somewhat exciting to see a vessel of any kind so it is really nice to be able to see your photos with tons more activity on the water and this is a first for me. it never occured to me that you could actually move a house over the water but seeing is believing and thanks for sharing.
in the words of a world famous philospher:
"I yam what i yam and that's all what i yam!"
Don't know if I've ever seen a "Love Boat" Michael but we certainly do see some strange creations going past the window. There are strange sights of a somewhat different nature to be viewed when you take a cruise through the archipelago where so many people have their summer places. Normally the population are an embarrassingly shy nation but not when they are determined to get an even tan !Learn as if you were going to live forever.
