A quirky float house at Lake Pend Oreille (shown before).
Designed and built by one man, working several summers. Shirtless and in cutoffs, pony-tailed, drinking beer, singing and hammering. When it was done, he sold it. He just liked the process. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekWforWindow #photography
A large float house built of many strange sections and including many windows. It looks like something from a dream. Water in the foreground, and a smaller float house nearby. Mountains and clouds in the background.
