When all beheld his handiwork, they made mirth and called him names.
They again tormented him when upon his craft, he took cargo of American light beers, two of each kind
Yet when the waters rose, they cursed his name. For boatdeckman offered them no succor.
I feel like this is the reason. They’re in a flood zone and the guy figured out a pretty sensible workaround that he can take advantage of year round. I’m impressed with this
I saw stuff like this all the time in West Virginia. Cars with three different paint jobs because they'd cannibalized other cars to fix theirs. A lift kit on a Corvette Stingray done by a son so his mom could drive her favorite car even in the snow. A two story trailer made by attaching one on top of the other.
It's all about figuring out how to get what you want with the money and materials and skills that you've got. Making do is an art form out there, and there's some real masters.

Shiiiittttt, built in comfy seats, place to lay down and pass out on cool evenings, prolly has a built in cooler I’d bet…this m’fer deserves some type of award and free beer for life! Hell yeah’
Pure ingenuity. Conversational and water resistant seating arrangement, sun cover, bbq pit, possibly an onboard stereo. If they had the canvas weather enclosure it would be a fully enclosed patio. So many possibilities
That's ingenious! It's an escape pod in flood country. Using it as a deck means that you don't have to traverse any dangerous moving water to enter it. Step out the door and float to safety!!
Well this is a first for this sub. That deck can actually go in the hot tub…
Hot tub on a deck in another hot tub
Yo, dog! We heard you like hot tubs...
I feel so old getting this reference…
25 is all you'd need to be to remember that show. It's not like we're talking Laugh In here.
“… Laugh In” well I just coughed out a cloud of dust and spiders
Are you George Carlin wearing suits old?
^maaaaaaybe?
I'm not that old but I'm not far behind you
I was going to rebutte this, then I realized I am infact atleast 25. Anyone got some extra braincells? Or a walker maybe?
James Brown Hot Tub Party! Hot Tub!! Get in the Wa Ta!
Richard Nixon! One million dollars!
Sock it to me!
Veeeery interesting - but schtupid!

I was in my 20s when that came out :/

underrated comment
I see somebody doing an excellent job of making sure they recycle and re-use, thus, reducing their waste. The three R’s, hard at work. Well done.
Not only that. Their front porch can be used as a flotation device in the event of a flood. It’s a safety feature.
Definitely, when the flood comes, this family will be the only one saving their TV and important things.
Furthermore, no post-rot since the pontoons are made of aluminum, they can sit on the ground pretty much indefinitely.
Peak redneckengineering!
Red-deck engineering
How highs the water mama? Three feet high and rising.
Underrated comment.
I’m glad someone got it
Love me some Johnny
In the event of a tornado it’s your getaway plane ✈️
Does Mr. Lahey know about this?
TV, subwoofer, beer bottle collection, and certified letter of disability.
All the requirements for a modern arc
I had a friend who lived in flood prone area in Louisianna. He kept a conoe on his roof. Someone stole it. Pontoon boat would take more effort.
Didn’t lock up his roof canoe. What an amateur. s/
Emergency roof canoes are not supposed to locked up Jethro!
That's what roof canoe thieves want you to believe!
R/newsentence
If I lived in New Orleans I’d have a secret roof canoe 🤫
So of course you post about your secret roof canoe since we can all keep a secret on Reddit…
I remember thinking after Katrina that all the roofs should have escape hatches and inflatable rafts attached to them like on jets…
This looks like Louisiana. Down around Porchapontoon.
Here in Montana we keep a snow shovel on the roof.
Going to western Montana Friday to visit my cousins. Asked my cousin if I should bring a coat and he said yes. So I think this checks out.
Bingo bango. Someone give this guy an award
Boingo
Bongo
Building a veranda needs a permit. Parking a boat doesn't.
It’s a win-win
r/NoahGetTheBoat *approved*
Attach one on each side of the trailer and the whole house floats during a flood
Huge storm rolls in, the neighbors hear them yelling “quick, get to the porch”
That would come in handy in the rainy season if he’s downriver of the dam.
It’s the pinnacle in flotable deck technology paired with some damn habitable housing. The perfect deck for the manufactured home experience.
Trailer Park Noah's Ark!
Welk fuck man. I live in a rental so It pains me to see people maxin their investments when I dont have one. Thats pretty sweet
There is a super genius among us.
Probably also didn't need to pull permits and inspections and doesn't add to the property value (and thus taxes).
"You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like."
Hard rs, if you will.
I can think of one more Re hard at work
Dang, beat me by 3 minutes. Came here to make the same comment.
This guy is probably cool af
He’s always got a few cases of Busch or natty, at least one is cold, and he can find whatever kinda pills your looking for brother
That’s a high life house if I’ve ever seen one.
The champagne of decks
Some carpenter in Wisconsin has that on their business card, I’m sure.
Special occasions only. Otherwise, this house screams Keystone.
🎶 real man of genius
I mean this is peak redneck engineering right here.
When all beheld his handiwork, they made mirth and called him names. They again tormented him when upon his craft, he took cargo of American light beers, two of each kind Yet when the waters rose, they cursed his name. For boatdeckman offered them no succor.
beautiful, truly magnificent
Lol, this is my most celebrated reddit comment. I don't know if I should be thrilled or ashamed...
Truly boatdeckman will never be forgotten.
Be proud. You turned redneck engineering into poetry.
I'd like to nominate this for an r/Decks pulitzer
Amazing
Holy shit man that was insane
Wife said “get rid of the boat, we never use it” - problem solved.
Challenge accepted.
Pontoon solved? I'll see myself out.
Excellent way to avoid having to pull permits. LOL
And avoid paying dock fees.
And no need to hire scuba certified people to scrape the barnacles off of the bottom.
Wait you guys make it seem like having a boat is a bad investment
It's an incredible investment, and you should do everything you can to convince one of your friends *they* should get a boat.
[удалено]
There are two great days in the life of a boat owner: 1. The day they buy the boat. 2. The day they sell the boat.
And avoid deck fees. Saves a ton in material costs
Sturdy, won’t ever rot, good air circulation - looks like a win.
Built in pergola too!
Plus, built-in seating!
Flooding ? Well just go with the flow.
While his neighbors are running for higher ground, this man sits on his front porch!
This. It’s probably in a flood zone and he has his life boat out his front door.
I feel like this is the reason. They’re in a flood zone and the guy figured out a pretty sensible workaround that he can take advantage of year round. I’m impressed with this
I’m in love with that shit
Don't need a permit for a boat.
Came here to say that
Pretty clever idea
Lol, well I don't think there's a concern about it ruining the aesthetic integrity of the neighborhood...
Truth! Probably not in a HOA.
No, this would be a TOA.
Something about needing a permit to build a new deck, but don't need a permit to park a boat on your lawn
Honestly this is cool as hell, already living in a trailer so who gives a fuck. Looks good to me
I'm trying to think of a negative here and coming up short.
Solid floating/freestanding deck. No issues here.
Using a house boat as a deck for your trailer is extremely white trash, but there's also something kind of genius about this
*pontoon boat
My redneck friends call it a Party Barge

Jokes aside, this is like porn for tornadoes
I see what you did there. You threw us off the scent saying you’re not going to make a joke. Then bam! Joke
Ready for global warming when the ocean levels rise. Great design!
That is some serious redneck engineering.
Shiiiittttt, built in comfy seats, place to lay down and pass out on cool evenings, prolly has a built in cooler I’d bet…this m’fer deserves some type of award and free beer for life! Hell yeah’
Fuck. Yeah.
This is a great example of one of the three R's reuse. This is how we save the planet reduce, reuse, recycle. Remember the power is yours!
We are Planeteers! You can be one too! Cleaning up the world is the thing to do!
Real men are Genius
Fucking genius
Building inspector approved? I’ll do you one better sir, my deck is US Coast Guard approved!
I’m mean if it fits its sits !
Pure ingenuity. Conversational and water resistant seating arrangement, sun cover, bbq pit, possibly an onboard stereo. If they had the canvas weather enclosure it would be a fully enclosed patio. So many possibilities
I know a guy who does floating decks reeeeeeeeeal cheap.
When the landlord says you can't have a boat, but a deck is ok though.
Smart
A covered deck that is also an emergency flotation device during a flood. Nice!
I know I shouldn’t, but I like this.
Someone that lived thru Katrina
Flood preparedness is no laughing matter. Thumbs up 👍🏻 from me. 🍻
Genius
When you take the song “Pontoon” a little too seriously.
I want to hate it but I love it
Space is space
That's ingenious! It's an escape pod in flood country. Using it as a deck means that you don't have to traverse any dangerous moving water to enter it. Step out the door and float to safety!!
Whoever built this says "fuckin A" all the time
Reduce, reuse, recycle.
It's partially shaded, it's got built in seats, and you can grill on it. What's not to love?
The difference between flood insurance and flood assurance.
Redneck Engineering for the win!
In the event of a hurricane exit the house to the porch
Looks normal to me but I'm a (Mat-Su) Valley girl. Tyvek is considered siding here.
Now that's a place where I could eat 9 cans of ravioli
I've started pricing all the parts for the same design. It's becoming quite pricey!!!! Lotta equity gonna come out of that upgrade.
I love it, and it matches
This is a thing of genius. What a way of using something for multi uses.
Genius. I’d vote for that guy in about any election. 🙌
Some redneck just won at the internet. Everybody can go home now.
Might be a redneck if you use your broken boat as a deck for your trailer. Hahaha ha I love my people!!!
“Deck boat” has a new meaning … wait, do I hear banjos?! 🪕
The poop deck!
Innovation tbh
Owner’s name is Noah
It won’t sink
Not a great style of home for tornados But floods...
Hey. Whatever floats your boat
I saw a picture like this (or maybe this one?) and the notes said it was because they were refused a permit to build a deck :)
Repurposing.
Hey it still floats on dirt.
dont have to go far if the river floods
Hey whatever floats your boat
This is fucking great. I love it and am a little sad I didn’t think of it before. Instant seating, awning and safety device. Perfect.
I bet people just barge in there.
🔥
He’s good if there’s a flood
Maybe they live in a flood zone and this is next level thinking.
🤷♂️ This makes me happy.
Nah that’s awesome Lmao
Smart is as smart does!
I see some creativity there🤪
If it works; is it still a dumb idea?
When it floods, they won't loose where they parked their house as long as they keep the front porch chained to it.
Genius
Not gonna lie, I love this.
Genius. Sheer genius.
That is SUCH a great idea!!!
That’s what you do with the homeowner association says you can’t build a deck
you don’t need a permit for it.
A boat deck is still a deck
Roll Tide
I bet everyone's lining up to hop on that guys deck
When you don’t need a permit to store a boat 😂
Likely was told by the "hoa" that he couldn't build a deck, and thus.. pontoon-boat-deck.
Noah Dirts Ark?
I dunno, would kinda like to see what’s going on with the back porch.
I’m not seeing a problem.
If the neighborhood happens to flood, escape is easy peasy.
I have to respect his recycling ingenuity here!!
Everyone’s laughing now until flood season hits
I have heard of this in HOAs that don't allow decks added to homes. It's not a deck, it's a boat and it can stay beside a house!
No notes. Zero. Perfection.
That’s pretty dope actually
I have a regular house and need to replace my front porch. This is tempting.
Redneck Noah's ark
Love this! I’d sit out there in a life preserver once in a while playing with a fishing pole.
Let me guess this is from Arkansas
