The circuit breaker boxes are already in the workshop area, but probably 5' in the air. The present air handlers are all built way up in the air by code (poor AC guys).
I'm going for solar power with battery backup, so I'm not going for a generator (although, I already have one on my present house.)
For those who don't live in hurricane country, sump pumps aren't helpful here. You either get no water in, or it's the big one and waves are crashing into / through your house. Not much middle ground. And if the storm goes a little south of us, Tampa Bay is a disaster, and I'm intact. A little North of us, it's the opposite. Location, location, location (of any storms that it). I don't want to jinx myself, but fortunately Tampa has been spared the big one over the last 100 years.
And if we do get hit, flood insurance will pay for everything in the workshop, and won't cover the house anyway. That would be the homeowner's insurance.
- After I ask a stranger if I can pet their dog and they say yes, I like to respond, "I'll keep that in mind" and walk off
- It's above my pay grade. Mongo only pawn in game of life.
