[QUOTE="Firewalker, post: 8735106, member: 676743"] Back in the spring of '86 living on the Kankakee River we had 4.5 feet of water in our house as it was on the ground. Over that summer we raised it up to 10.5 feet off the ground and at one point had the record in Illinois for highest house in a flood zone. Been there done that stuff with floods and we said never again. Used 4 massive hydraulic jacks that raised the house equally over a period of 3 months at a couple inches a day over a 8.5 hour day of work for them. I can't remember the exact number they did each day but it was close to that. We did 10 feet of 24" thick Concrete with cross body 2" rebar with no more then a 6" gap between them vertical and horizontal then topped it off with .5 a foot of concrete cinder block to rest the house on with two huge doors one in front and rear that we could open up whenever it would flood for the water to flow through and not cause any issues.
