It's a fun direction.

It has me thinking about possible property tax loop holes to help make something like this even more attractive.

There is a thread in the main boat design forum on floating living spaces, started just a few days ago. It will be interesting to see what happens to it.

Sounds like fun, don't scuba, have snorkled.

The work of art I was talking about is my wife - just incase she reads this thread.

There are some people in Ann Arbor stacking stones along hiking/walking trails, they even get standing stones out into the Huron River. Pretty cool stuff, started out as one person doing it, but I think more people have joined in and copied his style.

What like 'dry stone walling' Kach that's beautiful stuff when done properly, a bloody abonimation if just a pile of rocks; as for the houseboat stuff, I deffinately like it, must look up this forum, in the Design Section you say? see you there, sounds good!
