I miss that old house and the critters that lived under it and in it. It was also a huge tourist attraction until it became way to unsafe it had to be torn down to protect the neighbors (us) and the kids who loved to climb up and play in it.

Back on subject, we built our house with many pilings right down to bedrock (about 15') for piece of mind. We built shortly after hurricane Keith and saw all the land that had washed away. If our property ever gets washed away, Its nice to know our house will probably still be standing upright. Leaving all the mangroves on your property and planting lots of coconut trees and other greenery will also help protect your property.
