I like some of the buildings and the rafts. @Small Footprints great idea for the solar heater. I'd love to see photos if you have any to post, or links to them. I'll google for them as well, but I'd love to try them out. I wonder... how about a curtain made from these solar heaters? Since it's very cold here in NZ at the moment, I'm keen to experiment with this one. Since I don't drink beer myself I'll have to scrounge for some cans :-) Fun post!

To create the seating ensemble above, cans were crushed and formed into chairs and side tables. The slick metal sofa is actually constructed of thousands of nickels. While the hundreds of dollars worth of nickels could have still been spent, this amazing artwork is worth far more than the monetary value of the coins that went into it.
