Wow. Is that the highest you’ve seen it in all those years? Amazing about the sea wall too.

Re: The horizontally challenged person who self ID as a female hasn’t sung yet
The house was destroyed in 2004 Frances. Winds tore the roof off early in the storm. The surge got just barely into the first floor which is 6’ above normal tide levels. My outboard pilings are 6’ above the finished dock I had added 4x6 extensions the boat was right up to the top of the extensions. We ended up demoing the house and rebuilt to the new hurricane code standards. We went above and beyond code. All the hurricanes straps are stainless as are all nails and anchors.

Re: The horizontally challenged person who self ID as a female hasn’t sung yet
We tore down an old house and built higher way beyond code. Piling’s, massive structural garage level floor, poured concrete walls(ICF), and even first living floor is a pored concrete system. Top floor wood truss double strapped. And much more. County took forever to approve our plans because they had no idea what ICF was.
Another joke was near the end they suddenly said our out swing impact glass door did not meet code. Had to swing in (what, weaker is better??) because someone could trip walking out due to the step down at the door which is 5’ from 3 steps down. They were incorrectly interpreting a door at the end of a corridor (think commercial). Had to go pay for and apply for a variance! WTF? I argued, we won, but still had to pay. A month later they fixed the residential code.
Hope yours went better.

Same kind of crap. 17,000+ in engineering costs and over a year to get the permit. It was 4 years before we were back in the house.

I learned what #7’s are. I own many feet of #7. And quite a bit of #5 below grade.

Re: The horizontally challenged person who self ID as a female hasn’t sung yet
The new house sits on 18” pad double mesh rebar bigger around than my thumb and that sits on 25 18” 20’ deep caissons. The final fight with the building department was about overturning moment on the pad. It’s just ridiculous. Fortunately there was an increased cost of compliance clause in the insurance policy and they paid another 200k for the pad.
