float homes and um you know i've seen them all my life i used to have a friend who lived on one and um they're just fascinating to me as sort of a way to to get into the housing market but also have nothing literally nothing tangible under your feet um but that was kind of a neat um you know a neat place for dave to end up and of course there's a long history of
