A father and son who spent six years building a 38ft luxury yacht in their back garden had to hire a crane to hoist it over their own house after discovering it was too big to get out.
Roofing business owner John Couzens, 53, and his 26-year-old son Dan worked up to 12 hours a day to finish the eight tonne boat worth £175,000 which boasts showers and two bedrooms.
But when they found it was too heavy to wheel out of their 25ft high work shed, they invited the neighbours in Broadstairs, Kent, to watch the 15ft high vessel being lifted over their home.
The father-of-four said watching the Evolution 38i boat, named Out Of The Blue, hovering over the roof of his £300,000 four-bedroom house was a moment he will never forget.
'There was a moment when I thought - this could all go horribly wrong,' he said.
