Hey Everyone, I was thinking about flooding and I have a few ideas to help in hard hit areas. What I was thinking is that perhaps we create waterproof fencing around the house so that in times of flooding the owner can easily sandbag just the entrances so that it can be done in case of a flash flood. Have everything sealed underground so that no water enters below and then you can add sandbags on top of the wall if the waters rise higher then the initial wall size. This way they can keep the sandbags in the garage and quickly seal off the fence wall. Stay Safe, Stay Sanitized and Stay Supportive, John Ames Birch @johneames2
