Frequently asked questions
The cottage is raised and the floor system is still wet. How?
Splash from below. Once the skirt fails, a high table under the cottage throws water directly onto the joists, so being raised stops flooding but not wetting. Elevation protects against the tide, not the spray.
The seawall is between us and the Gulf. Why is the bay-side slab still wet?
The wall stops beach overwash, not the table in West Bay fill. September rain plus a high bay locks that fill. The Gulf side is an overwash story. The bay side is a bathtub story. Using one for the other will send you to the seawall from a lot that never sees a wave.
West Bay high, Scholes Field dry. Does a 1904 seawall cottage still take salt on the Gulf side?
The wall stops a breaker, not a table in the sand. Gulf-side cottages wet from below on a moon tide the airfield never logs. West Bay fill is the other job, inland of the wall. Two islands in one city. Diagnose the side you are standing on.
