Code Requirements

Here's what people have to do with their homes since Hurricane

Sandy. If you live near the water and you wish to rebuild you must

raise your house. Different heights in different towns but generally 6-

8 feet. Your thoughts and comments are always welcome. Thanks

for looking.

Hi Holger,

A very good documentary type image and explanation, too.

Well shot my friend.

Best Regards, Mike

 

Thanks for looking and your comment Mike, appreciate it.

Thanks for sharing. A curious sight and site - seeing one house so much higher than the others gives it a unique quality.

Very cool documentary shot.  Thanks for the narrative.

 

Maybe they should build a boat hull under the thing too...

Interesting documentary, Holger.

Regards Eystein

Wow! I have never had any experience of this.  Thanks for sharing.  Best Regards,

The building code on our coastline has required coastal houses to be built on stilts for years due to hurricane activity.  In fact, the lower floor is often left open so that the storm surge will just go under the house.  I'm sure the houses on either side will have to comply in order to get insurance.  I hope this is all just for caution and that you don't get any more Sandy's... Mike

Thanks to all that have left comments. Mike you're so right, eventually these people will have to comply or move. Sad but necessary. I was very fortunate to be spared as far as this type of thing goes. Thanks for your insightful comments. See you all soon.

A very nice original shot, Holger!

 

holgert ! a very nice orginal work shot. best regards janegbert

An interesting and revelaing photograph, Holger. Makes sense...

Fascinating record shot of life after Sandy. I think I'd like to see a wider shot to see how this house looks in relation to the others. The little snippet we get from either side suggests that this is the odd one out sitting so high. It would be good to see other houses to provide a context.

 

Hi Holger,

  Thanks for sharing this interesting image, it is amazing how a act of mother nature can change so many lives.  Take care, Patsy

Interesting and...unusual house!!!

Thanks to all who looked and commented on this image. See you soon.

very good documentary

This would be almost comic is it wasn't born of such tragedy. It's a shot just asking to be taken. Lucky you were the one with the camera.

Well said Jack, and thanks for your visit. Mehmet always glad to hear from you also.

Interesting, unusual shot. Well done.

 

Thank you for stopping by Linda.

Yeah the water is coming,,be prepared,,,;),,maybe a boat better solution !?

Thank you Niels for your visit and comment. See you soon.
