buying barrels

Today we managed to buy the remaining needed barrels to finish the floatation needs.
42 total will be used with the new/old design...my calculations at approx 200 lbs per barrel at half buoyancy will be 8,400 lbs ---the weight of a typical 8x20 tiny home. That is a gross under exaggeration, so I will have leeway of almost 18,000 lbs if I am floating at the top of the barrels...which I KNOW will be plenty buffer to keep it afloat!
