Default DIY island

Genius or just plain mad? Green or potential disaster? You tell me!

Well, to the man's credit, the original island was the one that was destroyed by the hurricane. That's what prompted him to build an island of his own. I believe they said his faux-island actually survived two tropical storms, and he says he's confident that it would survive an actual hurricane. Who knows?
