Our floating cabin...northern Idaho

Our float home is located in 15 feet of water on the southern end of Lake Coeur d'Alene Idaho.  There are 23 float homes in the Hidden Lake community and it's the last such float house community, laid out much like it was 100 years ago, left in the continental USA.  At least one float home dates back to 1898.  They float on large cedar logs and are anchored into place by pilings.  Many of these historical float homes were originally used as housing, cook houses, or offices for the early loggers on the St. Joe River or the Railroad that hauled logs and silver ore to mills.  They have modern plumbing and waste disposal systems that are approved by the health department and checked annually by a licensed plumber. I'm writing a book on float homes along the St. Joe River and am very interested in what others have to say.
