Planning for Mother Nature

When planning your next design project take a close look around and remember that it is sometimes wise to do a little pre planning.  Sometime we can prevent a lot of hardships when we work with Mother Nature. This photo shows that Mother Nature is in control. This cabinet has only flooded once before, the last flood was less than 20 years ago. It was a 100 year flood, so why is it here again 80 years early. Fortunately during the last renovation the cabinet was jacked up. This time the floor inside stayed dry. The new plan is to raise it a bit higher just in case Mother Nature gets any funny ideas in the future. Planning for the unexpected is difficult, but can help reduce future stress!

I agree Mother Nature makes the call when building a house. And the result will be wonderful.

She certainly can create design challeges. More than even we need to think more about the floods, heat waves and earthquake to make the interiors safer living enviroments and still beautifull. A great example of earthquakes is making sure there are no elements within that can topple and create harm to those inside. Large shelving is sucured and so forth. It a relivitely new chalange for many of us on the east coast!
