While in Portland for the Pro Tour stop I saw these luxury floating houses on the Columbia River. Pretty cool to just be able to drive your boat right into the garage!
Are they really floating or are they on big pillars? I can't imagine what it would take to get that much weight to float! Those are pretty crazy looking!
They actually are floating. They are fastened to tall posts they can move up and down on. The rivers here can vary more than 30 ft in water level in a relativly normal year. Though our wakeboarding season is too short, Portland is otherwise a great place to live.
