The wall does not really need to be a wall shape. Could be sections that were round like a pipe. In fact, I could make a large scale model using capped PVC pipe sections for the outside flotation. Or even just use 45 degree joints to hold 8 pipe sections together in an octagon. Vincecate 04:17, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Cool! I did not know how to do this. I have added the videos to my pages. I think we should remove this page now. Vincecate 11:53, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Ok, i'll remove it. It's a MediaWiki extension, it won't work on Wikipedia. Joep 11:59, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Hanging

If the walls were much higher (or when the cables do not start on top of the walls but from poles on top of the walls), you could hang the house, leaving some room for it to move (instead of being hold in place with tight cables like in the video). Would that add to stability? Joep 12:24, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
