There appears to be about a 20 year flood cycle, give or take a couple years. Of course '93 was the last one, 17 years ago. So we're about due. We had a wet winter and by appearances we're having a fairly wet spring. I'm having a feeling that this could continue and this could be another one of those years.

I guess this would work great if you like barnacles on your house, dummy. :rolleyes:
ALSO
you would have to have a captain in your house at all times (maritime law).

It would be tough to keep the house level during the dry season. And during the rainy season there would be too many encroachment violations as the boat-houses inevitably drifted across building setbacks and easements. It would be a nightmare for city inspectors.

Just like the Left Behind series predicted. No doubt in my mind that (n)Obama is the AntiChrist now.

Because of the foundation dipshit. Its's made from concrete. A house with no foundation (which is what you would use to make a house boat --- you don't need a basement in one) floats just fine. As long as you provide adequate bilge support you should be fine.

I'll second that.
In 94 when spring began fairly wet, flooding was worse in some places than it was in 93. Since the rocks at the spillway had all weathered and weren't near as brilliant by that point, many of us geologists were rooting for the flood waters to rise so overflow could wash all the old weathered rock away.
Spent many an hour out there doing geology labs (drinkin') and studying.

Awful lot of dumb-asses in this thread ignoring the obvious solution....Make your house out of the stuff that they use for submarines.
You can get old Soviet subs for like $30 on Russian ebay.

My basement has already had a big flood year. Mainly thanks to that late snow that melted in about 1 hour the next day.
-
All houses should be built underwater. So flooding won't affect anyone because they already live underwater. Then if the opposite of a flood happens and everything dries up, oh well, people can live on dry land no problem.

johnny,
might i suggest building a moat or "big ditch" around whatever town it is that you live in. flooding problem instantly called. you're welcome. i suggest coming up with really good name for it though or else people from other towns might make fun of you guys. again, consider it on the house. no need to repay me.

Sump pump burned out. Had to go buy a new one and replace this afternoon. Neighbors rain gauge only goes up to 8 inches that’s what she said. It was completely filled to the top.
