Is that plastic or wood? I like the way you painted the deck. It looks real!

Jake:

              So are you going to rig that house as a double masted or 3 masted "house". From what I saw of the aftermath of NOLA you might want to ship a cannon or two (dozen).I lived in Gretna La. for 4 years I+I duty HML-767 NAS New Orleans. We were the NOMADS

N ew O rleans M arine A ir D etachment S quadron. 16 UH-1N Hueys. in 94 we went to HML/A -767, 10 UH-1Ns and 12 AH-1Ws Cobras. Crime was rampant then. 94 and 95 nations record for murders. NOLA PD working for drug loards and "in business" with same.

The design was FEMA approved, but originated from NOAA.

"Hey, you mind telling me what your building?  It's blocking my driveway and I have to get to work"
"I can't tell you"
"Come on, what are you building"
"Its an Ark"
"An ark?  Whats an ark?  Give me a hint?"
"No"
"Come on, give me a hint"
"You want a hint?"
"Yea, I want a hint"
"How long, can you tread water,  Hee Hee Hee"

Looks good, however I think it is out of scale and those arks weren't painted in that shade of green.  Big Smile [:D]
