Hi, My name is Cyberangel. I live in Vancouver BC, one of the most beautiful if not damp cities in the world. A few months ago I met David A. Labadie AKA " the Mad Canadian". He is an artist living on a floathome in the Fraser River. Check out his website to see his wonderful work. http://www.madcanadianartist.piczo.com/. He moved back to BC last December and found lodging on the MV Bowie http://www.mvbowie.com/ , a 140 foot US subchaser. Captain Grieg had a vision to start a floating cooperative comunity down on the Fraser River with a group of like -minded friends and has been building his dream over the last four years. Check out Bowiechicks blog about life on the water for more news about the happenings down here.
David was inspired by what he saw and decided to jump in with both feet. Within a month he had aquired a 30x40 foot barge that he salvaged from the bottom of the river and a 40x60 foot floating boathouse in some disreputable repair that was given to him. He dragged both of them up to the working shipyard here on Mitchell Island and has big plans for them. This blog is our record of the inspiration, perspiration and determanation of one man to build a empire for FREE!! Yes thats right FREE!
By scavenging, recycling, scouring craigslist http://www.craigslist.com/ for free stuff, and using his amazing ability to adapt,overcome and improvise , he will build several thousand feet of real estate on the Fraser River at a fraction of the cost that people paid for their condos on the other side. Stay tuned for updates on the progress of a dream by the "Lover of Life and Keeper of Dreams, the Mad Canadian"
