 The man hasn't lived who would not be proud to be related to this genius.
 
  FLOATING GAZEBO
 I was going to build the Gazebo on the edge of my dock down by the lake but I thought ....I might just as well build the deck with floats on it and I can then take it out fishing too.  Has 15,000# capacity.
The deck is 18ft x 18ft with 12 plastic  foam filled dock floats that are 4ft x 4ft by 18 inch. high.and the Gazebo is 10 ft. Hexagon with a table and chairs  inside.
Under the table is my trolling motor so I can take it out to my favorite fishing hole. The trolling motor is remote controled wireless so I can be  fishing outside and operate the motor. On the top of the table I have a LOWRANCE Fish-Finder with depth sounding sonars and temp gauge.
I have 2 electric winchs with 40# anchors. I have also built in a water pump so I can clean the fish right on the spot.
Now I can relax and fish while my wife can sit and relax.
 

(this isn't me by the way, I just copied and pasted.)  Looks like fun!

Thats a hell of a place, not sure I'd be able to leave if it had a keg fridge.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

That's pretty cool.  Like intruder said, where's the tap?  I wonder if they have a trap door inside the gazebo so they can still fish even when the weather outside is not good?  Needs a BBQ on that thing too.

How about icefishing? Can't really move it around but heck who cares, put a dish on the roof and a tv screen on the wall, wait for the fish as
you watch football!

You can always tell when a retired guy is driving his wife crazy being at home.  You just know he was banished to his shop.  I wonder what he is building next?

Is the stripper pole inside the gazebo? I think you'd need more sunbathing spots for the "talent".
hey, where's Professor Chaos? Anyone seen him?

That is awesome.
