Re: They said," building that high is extreme'
The Mississippi does as she pleases, doesn't she? I grew up in KY and the wee little Ohio has a tendancy to do this as well (as she's done recently) every time the Miss rises. I've had a house surrounded by water and it's not a nice feeling at all because you're helpless. Looks like you made all the right decisions on setting your height, but those stairs are gonna be a bugger. I'm in Fla, now and in a subdivision where most of the houses are stilts and the trend now is automotive lifts as "elevators". Something to think about....Stay safe down there and as dry as you can.
