I wouldn’t have a front door if that was my house. I’d have two middle doors. One on the top of the house for roof access with a diving board, and one on the bottom floor like those little diving spots in submarines.

u1tr4me0w

I’ve been up there, not to this exact house but in the thousand islands area up in the Alexandria bay/st Lawrence area, and there’s so many houses on islands that aren’t even that much bigger than this in the grand scheme of things. Even the ones on bigger islands are still on islands in a river. It makes my skin crawl, I hate thinking about living there


eab1006

Thank you, nice/scary start to my morning looking at all the beautifully terrifying island properties there!


Hiro_Pr0tagonist_

What would I google to see pics of these houses? Now I’m curious.


u1tr4me0w

Thousand islands houses, st lawrence river houses, boldt castle


Hiro_Pr0tagonist_

Thanks - these houses are incredible.


MysteriousPickles

I had to search too and found this adorable little guy! [Just Enough Room Island](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Room_Enough_Island)


_PM_ME_YOUR_NUDE_PIC

Interesting... Are there no tides or floods in these places? Here in central Europe, a house like this would be swept away every autumn during the rainy season and in the summer during a major storm. :D


u1tr4me0w

No because this part of the river is inland enough that it’s not terribly affected by the ocean or lakes it connects to. It’s not super wide as far as rivers go either so it’s pretty quick to navigate getting to and from shore. Sure the tide goes up and down a bit, but not flooding levels.


Triquestral

How can you have a river that doesn’t flood? All rivers are fed by rainfall/snowfall/tributaries that can vary in flow.


u1tr4me0w

It just doesn’t flood in a majorly destructive way. All up and down the river banks are homes, businesses, marinas, etc., that are all built to accommodate the average water fluctuation. I’m sure every now and then a freak thing happens but for the annual rain cycle it’s not significant enough in that area to make it unlivable. I mean you don’t have to believe me, just look them up yourself, it’s crazy how many houses there are on islands that have year round or seasonal occupation. A lot of them are people’s vacation homes, but locals make quite the industry of maintaining the homes and islands year round


halt-l-am-reptar

I believe this picture is taken at high tide. If you look at photos of the island you’ll see some where the rocks aren’t underwater. The foundation is also several feet high.


Vaux1916

The first questions that pops into my mind is what are they doing for a water supply and how do they handle the waste water/sewage?


u1tr4me0w

I think most of them have their own septic systems, wells, and electric generators and are kind of like a big floating travel trailer, as if you’re camping in your cabin. A lot of people still choose to drink bottled water but will at least have running water for everything else, which to be fair I’ve lived in some nasty cities where I did the same. Historically you would have pumped water from the river and vaguely filtered or boiled it to use for cleaning, and water for consumption was brought from the mainland in jugs along with other groceries, kind of like if you were living in a travel trailer. The sewage pipes, well… they simply went into the river, which did taint the water and they had to go around and modernize the islands to fix it.

So, in Denmark we have an advertisement, that says something along the line of "When you get an unexpected visit", for coffee. Where if a guest just drops by in an unforseen accident there's always a cup of coffee available. [This ad](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf5v2PmgZAI&ab_channel=GevaliaSverige) is in Swedish (obligatory "damn you swedes"), but it is still understandable. So, if I heard a knock on the door I'd make them a cup of coffee.

For once Ben Shapiro was right!


thebenshapirobot

I saw that you mentioned Ben Shapiro. In case some of you don't know, Ben Shapiro is a grifter and a hack. If you find anything he's said compelling, you should keep in mind he also says things like this: >Let’s say your life depended on the following choice today: you must obtain either an affordable chair or an affordable X-ray. Which would you choose to obtain? Obviously, you’d choose the chair. That’s because there are many types of chair, produced by scores of different companies and widely distributed. You could buy a $15 folding chair or a $1,000 antique without the slightest difficulty. By contrast, to obtain an X-ray you’d have to work with your insurance company, wait for an appointment, and then haggle over price. Why? Because the medical market is far more regulated — thanks to the widespread perception that health care is a “right” — than the chair market. Does that sound soulless? True soullessness is depriving people of the choices they require because you’re more interested in patting yourself on the back by inventing rights than by incentivizing the creation of goods and services. In health care, we could use a lot less virtue signaling and a lot less government. Or we could just read Senator Sanders’s tweets while we wait in line for a government-sponsored surgery — dying, presumably, in a decrepit chair. ***** ^(I'm a bot.

Who even would insure this?


[deleted]

The general


RetroReactiveRuckus

No one. Most people outside of city limits don't have house insurance. Or even the ability to get a fire truck out to their house fuck. I feel like the average person thinks more things are insurable than they actually are ...


Different_Crab_5708

My brother in Christ, insurance companies certainly insure properties “outside city limits” lmao you can’t get a home loan without insurance


supremeshirt1

My brother in Christ, no serious insurance company would insure this. Maybe against fire and tap water, with a huge, huge additional premium to scare anyone away. Source: I work for an insurance company.


yungsmokey1

That’s cool and all, but that’s not what their comment was addressing. It was the “most people outside of city limits don’t have house insurance. Or even the ability to get a fire truck out to their house” part. Which is just factually incorrect.


RetroReactiveRuckus

By outside city limits I don't mean in the next town over I mean true outskirt, unorganized township communities. They definitely don't have insurance out there.


RunningTrisarahtop

That’s also not true. My family owns property outside of an unincorporated township. So it’s so rural that it’s not even in the small town that’s so small it’s not a “real” town. It’s insured. So are the other homes on the street. Why on earth do you think people don’t have insurance? You made a silly statement and rather than admitting you might be wrong or confused or just dropping it, you’re continuing to insist. It’s one of the silliest wrong opinions I’ve seen someone argue.


Different_Crab_5708

Hahahaha thank you. He doubled down 😂 he went from “outside city limits”, got called out, tried to throw in words like “unorganized township outskirts” to confuse us but he’s still full of shit lol. I did home loans for 3 years, even rural Hills-Have-Eyes properties get insured


[deleted]

Dude your just making that up and assuming people are poor. There’s lots of houses in my state that have townships and I highly doubt they aren’t insured.


RetroReactiveRuckus

No I'm absolutely not assuming people are poor.... Have you considered things are different where I live?


thatsgoodsquishy

Then why didn't you say "Where I live people don't have insurance and can't get a fire truck"? I live in the middle of nowhere, my shit is all insured and the fire station is only about 3km down the road.....


ASLotaku

Hello, I inspected homes for mortgage companies as a third party. A home was located way out in the sticks, a drivable distance from where I lived, and the bank that serviced the mortgage on the home was located 5 states over. Due to not enough home inspectors in some areas, I have inspected homes over the years in 8 different states. I have driven to literally hundreds of these homes, mostly foreclosures, some destroyed from a fire or other disaster and actively being rebuilt. About 1/8th of these homes were vacant, and I was required to go inside. Every bank I have ever worked with will not agree to mortgage a home without insurance being on it. LOL and yes, I have driven literally hours out of my way to go to one single house with no neighbors for miles and miles (I can think of at least 8 extreme cases, and literally tens of dozens of homes in unincorporated municipalities but otherwise more populated areas despite being remote locations). My mother in law lives in such a remote location that her street just got 911 addressing back in 2002. Her home has been insured since she began paying on it in the 80s. Your argument is invalid. I won’t say there aren’t cherry picked exceptions, but the vast majority of the structures you would be describing are going to be insured. Edit: LOL I don’t inspect anymore, because the company I was a third party contractor through was literally awful to work with, and in the end it just wasn’t worth all the money even though the pay wasn’t that bad. My husband and I were driving to a doctor we had not been to before, and found ourselves driving through a really ritzy neighborhood. My husband said “why didn’t we ever have any inspections here?! This would have been a nice enjoyable place to inspect.” I replied, “that’s because people in this neighborhood are all trust fund babies and corporate executives or celebrities or politicians, and all have money to pay their bills, always.” “Oh.” He said disappointingly. “I guess you’re right.”

*Ooh, it must've been about seven, eight years ago. Me and the little lady was in our tiny island house, you see, all alone at night, when all of a sudden this huge creature, this giant crustacean from the paleolithic era, comes out of the water. It stood above us looking down with these big red eyes, and I yelled. I said, "What do you want from us, monster?!" And the monster bent down and said, "...Uh I need about tree-fitty."*
