Well, being on stilts might not help save us from a tsunami, but I imagine it will help preserve our view of the ocean should someone get around to building a house on the lot on the other side of the street! We're a bit lucky as the new building rules don't let you build on stilts around us anymore. I think it also helps us to get the nice breezes and maybe helps keep down on pests getting inside the house.You could look at it as providing ample kayak storage and it looks neat!
