HOW TO BUILD A HOUSEBOAT FROM THE JUNK YARD!


So ya want to know how to build a houseboat from recycled stuff? Well below is the way we kept our sanity during Desert Storm (my brother and our son were serving) and cleaned up the environment at the same time!

The tanks that you see are drop tanks from a B-52 Bomber that were found on the Seminole Indian Reservation with the assistance of Mr. Tiger, relative of Seminole Indian Chief Jim Billie. The Seminole Indian Reservation in Brighton, Fl. is approx. 9 miles from where we live. The tanks were dropped during the Cuban Crisis and were left in the cow pastures on the Reservation since the Kennedy Admin.
