Building a Mini Noah's Ark - Extreme weather house boat floats in Silicon Valley backyard - Kirsten Dirksen YouTube

Here's a cool Project. This guy, is building a Mini, Noah's Ark. That's now what he calls it. But, that's what it reminds me of. It's going to be a beautiful Boat. Once, he gets it finished and figures out how to Power and Steer it in the Water. Unless a Great Tsunami Comes first and forces him to jump in and take a wild ride, that is... I like allot of these Videos by Kirsten Dirksen. She makes "Videos about simple living, self-sufficiency, small (and tiny) homes, backyard gardens (and livestock), alternative transport, DIY, craftsmanship and philosophies of life." Check out all of the links to her Channel and Website too...

A couple years ago Chris Robinson was a former Facebook and PayPal art director with no boat-building (nor sailing) experience. Then the Tsunami hit Japan (a place where he'd lived and met his wife). He happened to be working in a startup incubator at the time with some "very smart people", including an astronaut, and everyone was sketching ideas for tsunami-proof shelters.

Robinson liked his design (inspired by oil-derrick escape pods and the hanging tree house spheres from Canadian artist Tom Chudleigh) so much, he began to build it behind his house. Two years later, his backyard is dominated by his 22-foot-long, 10-foot-wide and 8.5-foot-high plywood and epoxy tsunami-proof pod (AKA Tsunamiball).
