That would be great except the area down here is as flat as a pool-table for miles in every direction.
There is no "downhill" for a drainage pipe to go

Just use a giant wet/dry vac!
Or you could build a hill to live on... Stilts are attractive on a house and they give you a place to park the boat!
I would need a much larger wet vac and mine is one of the biggest retail models.

I lived in a house on stilts. The whole place vibrated when the washer went into the spin cycle.
So, you had a free vibrating bed, couch, toilet and dinner table. Truly fit for a princess, Your Majesty.
If I built a home on stilts it would be at least as solid as the ground it was anchored to. (but then I'm told I over build everything)In all honesty I do tend to exceed any necessary codes, strength recommendations, and standard building procedures but those are just minimums anyway...

How about the severe weather lately? Tornadoes, rain, wind gusts, mostly in the eastern U.S.
It was nasty around here Thursday. From Wed thru Friday we had between 5-8" of rain around the wider area. I'm sure there are areas that were hit harder than us.

We got some strong winds caused a neighbors building to fall in reallt bad, they were living in it so hope they didn't get hurt,did see gate was open today so somebody is going in and out. Around here you don't pull up in driveway unless they know you.
Didn't get much rain at all and needed what little we got.
