I just talked to my uncle. His buddy has been building a house boat for the past couple years. It is parked in Mermentau near the bridge. He used plastic drums and they are standing vertical with the bungs straight up, no foam. A few of the drums are kinda dented looking, I guess from getting bumped. He built a few seperate sections like this and put them in the water then attatched them. Not sure how he fastened them together though. He has a solid layer under it of drums, if some one were to shoot a few it would still float. I still would go with a barge or pontoons of some kind. My 2 "sense"
