Party barge Plies Lake Monona
The screened porch floating on Lake Monona is not a delusion or a remnant of a house that collapsed into Lake Delton and mysteriously found its way to another body of water.
The tentative name for this peculiar vessel is Badger Barge, and it's the result of a mistake made last summer by Joe Shulla, of Madison. Shulla, who constructs decks and piers for a living, had been hired by a Texas couple to build a screened porch attached to a pier on Twin Lake in Barron County.
Everybody loved the finished product ...
