Thanks 👍

Thank you for watching my channel. I appreciate your comment.

Thanks for watching my videos and yes, we would love to do that but unfortunately in this area of Florida, they do not allow enclosed boat houses

@@DaleWHickman I know after Hurricane/Tropical Storm Henri, a number of people opted to redesign their homes to have breakaway walls on the first floor of the structure. Do you think it’s possible to get a variance for this? Granted, I understand that you’d have to get approved by both the state and local/municipal code enforcement offices, but do you think they would consider it? If not, maybe it would be worth it to approach academia to see if the faculty of engineering and architecture departments would take interest in this. They may like to design a model in CAD (e.g. AutoDesk Architecture, ReVIT, etc.) and run it through a CFD program to test its ability to withstand a CAT 5. Anyway, if there’s any promise at all with this coming to fruition, real estate owners/investors in certain areas may be willing to fund such research projects. It may be worth checking out.

Thanks for your comment and watching my channel I appreciate it! We’ve got four barges in the average from 16 x 40 to 21 x 40

I think the longest so we have been requested so far is 50 feet

Thanks for watching my page in your comment. We do a lot of water getting behind here to settle the dirt out. I don’t like compacting and lifts due to the pressure on the wall, and not being able to have proper filtration in the soil.

Lotta times they put coarse graded ( porous) drain rock in backfill from bottom of fillto about 1-2’ avove maxe tidewater elevation.

To reduce backfill pressure on wall.

Thanks for your question. We use a variety of different tieback systems from 6 inch to 8 inch pilings to manta ray anchors.

Thanks for watching my video and your comment. I get most of our stuff at a local rubber supply specialty store and the pipes come from Lowe’s and Home Depot.
