So this year we are fighting flood... again! We are rebuilding the wall with 8' studs instead of 5' studs. We're fucked if it goes any higher than that.
Started snowblowing all around the house yesterday and hopefully the sun will soften up the ground so we can start digging the trench.
This is what i'm refering to, incase you missed the thread last year.

We were planning on doing a concrete permenant flood wall last year, but right before we poured it, We were asked if we were interested in a buyout. We are 9th on the list for buyouts in Moorhead, so hopefully this will be our last year.

u better at least own a fucking jetski

Joel, I thought your were banned?

-
Joel, I thought your were banned?

Nope, I deleted my last account... I don't plan on posting on this board except for in this thread. I know everyone last year thought we were gonna lose it, so I wanted to post it up again this year.

thats the best I can do.

Like I said last year, fuck that. I know you want to stay because its home, but fuck is it really worth it? Plus with all the $$$$$$ invested in wood, screws, plastic.

Not gonna move out and wait for 3 years to sell it for 1/4 of what its worth... they have to wait out to be bought out basically now, then they are moving to AZ. I will follow as soon as my fiance is done with her masters.

Damn thats a lot of work.....

So people with half a brain realize that its not worth shit if it can wash away from one year to the next so you need the govt to save you and pay 'what its worth'
Got it
Good luck but 2 years in a row is lacking sympathy

The city will buy for "preflood" value, which turned out to be just short of 200. The city is buying the house because they don't want to have to depend on us to save the whole fucking town. so they bought out certain houses to make it easier on themselves to fight flood. It's not pitty money. The City wants our house, they aren't just giving us pitty money...
-
bullshit you fat fucking sack of shit...why don't you just eat yourself into a fucking coma and die already...NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR FUCKING PATHETIC WHINING. You are a faggot. And of course you aren't looking at it as a government bailout ("pitty money"). Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't you against government help/bailouts....I'd assume that after your pathetic ass gets bailed out by the government you'll be giving the money back since it's not right for the government to be giving handouts, right?

Wrong...you, like any homeowner, aren't trying to "save the whole fucking town" you are trying to save your own fucking house..the city doesn't want your house they want your property so they can knock down your fucking house so THEY can save the whole town.
God you are fucking retarded.

Whether we are trying to save the house or not, We are the front line for the rest of the neighborhood/town until they buy the house. I don't get your logic. I'm not looking for pitty. This is a FABRICATION THREAD, I AM POSTING UP PICTURES OF HOW WERE DOING IT, END OF FUCKING STORY... I am not on here to discuss anything but that. I am not looking for pitty, or believe me, I wouldnt have came to this website. I know its full of a bunch of assfucks like you who have nothing better to do than try to start an e-cock fight, but I figured there might be a few people interested in how we build it... and would want a follow up from last year.
And btw, calling me fat is like telling hotrex he has herpes... its getting old.

Joel, GTFO.
No one gives a fuck about your "flood fight". You bitch every damn year about this shit, take your hand out and shut up about it. You then insult everyone on here. FUCK YOU.
Can he get shit canned already.

We aren't prepared to move unless they give us what the house would be worth if it was not flood prone. The way our wall works, there is very little chance we will ever get water damage and if they let us know we are off the list, we will build a permanant concrete wall. So, how is this house not worth what I'm saying. It's worth thatmuch, according to the city, which is the only people who are in the market for it... You guys dont get it...

So aside from over engineered framing, what else technically are you going to bring to the forum???

So you want a fucking handout?
-
With the effort and lumber you put into building this wall twice you could have built a new god damn house.
-
Its not a fucking handout... The city wants our propety. If the city wanted your property because they view it as a safety hazard, and they wanted you to move out, would you sell your property to them for less than what you felt it was worth? I dtill don't think you understand. We don't give a shit if the city buys are house or not. We did not approach them for a buyout, they asked us if we would be willing to sell if infact they decided they need the house to be dozed. We said yes. Why is this so hard for you guys to understand?
-
The point is you said YES. If you didn't care you would have said NO. :o

Because you're an idiot.
If I buy a cell phone in 1999 and try to sell it in 2010, it's worthless. Why? Because time happened and it no longer has value. The same thing with your house. You bought a house in a flood plane. The environment changed over 20 years and now your house floods every year unless you build some monstrosity of a wall. No one would buy your house other than the government. It has no value. The only reason the gov't will buy it is because if you actually looked deep enough, you'd realize that because of new development it resulted in poor civil engineering and causes the river to now flood more than every. It's just easier to buy you out and move on.

LOL trying to compare electronics to real estate value is a complete joke... I'm not gonna argue this anymore, I'm done with that,
Buk, they appraised it at 198,000.
-

It is a fucking handout.
What logical breakdown occurred that caused your family to either build or buy into a goddamn flood plain? Because, with full disclosure at the time of sale or, ah, the two eyes in your goddamn head that see the river in your back yard, it's really not hard to figure this out.
-
Joel i don't care what a appraiser says, that house isn't worth half that. Fact of the matter is the property value is going down with each flood. You are blinded by stupidity here.
The fact that the gov. offered to buy it shows they are trying to help you out and at the same time make there fuck up easier to deal with (aka poor planning on there part). Now whats so hard to understand? Except your askign for the money and be done with it. You even said your parents would be selling it and moving to AZ. That right there prooves you know the house is worth jack shit.
Because you wouldn't move from there unless the gov. paid for it, because that the only way it's selling for any decent amount of money.

So what are you exactly arguing here? You didn't prove anything. The house is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. The only interested party is wanting to pay 198,000 dollars...
If you wanna talk about government hand outs, why don't you talk about your parents claiming bankruptcy when they are living in a house worth over a quarter million dollars?

You two should meet up. Then hug it out.
-
damn, i felt bad for you in the first thread. now that you made another and have a plan to do this every year, you guys are retarded. i would take the cities money and run. it pretty much is a hand out, but really, they screwed up by letting you build a house there.
this is like the people that live on a volcano and complain when lava burns their house down. YOU BUILT ON A GOD DAMMED VOLCANO!!!!!!!!!

'
We knew it was flood prone. Half for the fargo, moorhead area is built in a "flood plain" everyone keep throwing that phrase around... We knew wede have to fight flood, thats why everyones pitty comments confuse me. This isn't something that caught us offguard. the flooding last year was the worst its been in 114 years. We never thought we'de have to fight flood this high, but we've made adjustments

Ah, yet i do not and have never made a thread bitching about what they did. Because i didn't have control over jack shit you little punk.
And I would never make a thread asking for help and bitching about the national guard who "wouldn't help you" and "just sat on there ass". What about this one " they qouldn't stop bugging me when i had out of state plates and had to repeadadly drive into a area that was deamed unsafe and closed to the public/non-home owners" They didn't know who and where you were there mother fucker. It was there job to keep people safe incase the dike's broke, not to help save your fucking house.
Your dumber then shit you know that. Go take your handout, and move to az with your parents.

Well you still commented on them (yeah i didn't mention that it was a post, who fucking cares you still said it) some how doing something wrong when it was there JOB to not help you dick head. And some how joel you seem to think me having a ged is some sort of insult compared to your epic level of schooling. High school and like half a semester of college. Don't act like some fucking scholar when you don't know a damn thing more then i do.
Why don't you go fuck off like you had for the last year, fucking still am amazed you of all people just called me stupid. haha

There a lot of nice realestate here in AZ. With 200 large you could probably get a small lot in the north Scottsdale area. I Know of one I could probably send you the info on. The only thing is it's kind of close to a Wash but that shouldn't be a problem.

So far no problems, I take out knee caps for non-payments though

The damage arising from being in a humid environment below the water table. Ever heard of New Orleans, outside of the context of Katrina?

What damage(physically) are you speaking of though?Or are you talking about having to fight flood every year? jw, because we have not had any damage of the home since weve moved in.

We aren't prepared to move unless they give us what the house would be worth if it was not flood prone. The way our wall works, there is very little chance we will ever get water damage and if they let us know we are off the list, we will build a permanant concrete wall. So, how is this house not worth what I'm saying. It's worth thatmuch, according to the city, which is the only people who are in the market for it... You guys dont get it...
Thats like saying I won't sell my house for half price just because I live next to a toxic waste dump. In my state, you can't own water, just water frontage. So if they'd value your property at the average low acerage, you'd have a house with no usable land. No usable land = no property value.
IMO the only reason the gov should even buy it near the price you want for it, not deserve, is because they were dumb enough to zone that area for housing. If it was because of a diverted river or dam, the intrests involved in teh dam would have bought you out before it was even an issue.
In other words, GTFO n00b.

Acceptance is the 5th stage of greif, so you're ready to move on. Considering the landscape can add at minimum 10% to the property value - and yours is fucked each year - do the math. Now you just have to accept how the other factors realisticly devalue a property.
If I lived close by, I'd cut down a slew of trees upstream and create a good old debris field. I'd give you some warning just so you can post the vids on youtube random-strike's dragcityvids failsite.

We do Reuse most of the wood every year. We have made different adjustments to the wall every year, making it biger and better. That is why we dont set up the same thing every year. The only thing we replaced this year was the studs. We went from 5' to 8' studs. Everything else, including the plywood is reused. The only thing that wasnt reused was the plastic and the sandbags...

Its probably down to about 90hp with all the blowby. I got the fenders because the car got hit by a trailer in a parking lot and it dented under where the fenders are. Car will evertually have a street-ported 12a or carbed 13b... or a turbo 1.6 havent decided yet. either way, it will have some power eventually....

Sounds like pure faggotry.

how high did the water get last year? 3 1/2 feet?
isnt 8 ft overkill?
-
4 ft up the wall. but we scrambled to put the top half of the wall on last year because the city was gonna shut out electricity and plumbing off if we didn't build it higher than our 5 foot last year. It is mainly to please the city and army core of engineers so they dont fuck with us anymore like they did last year

You really think they are going to stop fucking with you?

we had it measured, and they almost started pouring last year for that. We were gonna bolt siding to it to make it look legit, but then they moved us up towards the top of the cities buyout list. So we dont wanna spend 30g on a wall, if we are going to get bought out next year...

Sheeting done yesterday. Putting the plastic on today... river is about 100 ft away from the house. according to NOAA, it should touch the wall by saturday the 20th.

Forecast changed... looks like it will be touching our wall within 48 hours... we'll be ready for it, but the rest of the city will be scrambling!

Hope you drown!

now that was beautiful....

thats such a bad ass wall. they should have hired you to prevent flooding in new orleans.

So i assume you have a turbo speedboat/jetski?
Obviously you're not driving unless you built a tunnel.....
Real home made home saving wall built by turbocharged cancer cells that cause mental retardation.
No, really. Fucking move.
It floods ONE time here and that's all it takes for me to pack up and head upstate. I'll take the snow over having all my shit underwater any day. You're not as bad as those fucking idiots in Malibu, CA that keep rebuilding but run for their fucking lives every summer when hellfire scorches the place up.....
Maybe you should invest in a houseboat and turbocharge it? Realhomemadeturbohome?

supposed to have been touching the wall by now... I think its gonna be a lot lower than they thought
-
So, I don't feel like digging around for this information.
What's the story behind houses being built in a location that frequently floods?
-
It's really not that uncommon. Person buys a home near a river that floods every 30 years in 1980. Between 1980 and 2010, a lot of local development occurs. As a result, all of the water is routed under the assumption some facility will handle it. Sometimes its an issue between two counties not verifying water loads between areas. As a result, the river gets over burdened and now floods every year.
This is why the state wants to buy your house. It's their fault this idiots house floods every year. Their employees did a piss poor job of making sure water management was under control in the area. As a result, idiots that build houses too close to the water get flooded annually.
-
Ah, that makes a lot of sense.
Used to hear interesting stories of fuckups when I worked with the Army Corp of Engineers... Building levees in New Orleans, monitoring non-native fish that are wreaking havoc in different areas, etc.

Your close, but not quite.
In recorded history, there is only 4 floods that would have ever threatened the basement of the home. When they built the house in 75, there had been one flood at 36 ft in 1969. The was easily defendable with the planter system that was built into the house by the original owner/builder of the house. No one could really have seen 4 record floods happening in the future. We bought the house for about 60 percent of what it was worth after the 1997 flood(the flood that was supposed to be the end all be all of floods....) we then made a bigger better dike to protect ourselves from larger floods than anyone saw coming, so we would be ready. We now own a home on a very nice lot, with a great view for about 130,000 when the original asking price was more like 250,000/ We realize that living on the river comes with some responsabilities and my father was ready to take on those responsabilities. The city, however, cannot "take a chance" on home owners to save the rest of the town, so they waste hundreds of thousands of dollars each year on temporary protection from these houses. We didn't ask the city to make a dike on the wrong side of our house, they did that for themselves. Just yesterday, we had 3 fireman, 3 police officers, and 2 city engineers looking at our dike for like 4 hours deciding if it was "good enough". You know how many tax dollars are wasted paying these people to be out here? Not to mention how much it costs the city to provide sandbags, sand and clay, along with the cost of insuring all of the volunteers to help with laying bags, and the cost of transportation.... it is an insane cost. the city would much rather buy 3 houses and create a permanent dike, and add it to the "1 less thing to worry about" list. We didn't do anything wrong buy buying a house on the river. The city would save money overall by buying our house, and each house on either side of us, and building permanent flood protection for the rest of the neighborhood/town. Does anyone get it yet? We don't think it is necessary to sell to the city. we didnt BEG the city to buy our house, They asked us to buy our house, so why the fuck would we sell it for pennies on the dollar? Also, the houses that Moorhead has already bought out have been sold to a house moving company. They sell the houses to starter families based on income... So they are doing somehting good with them, and not losing 100 percent of the money that they buy the houses with. This also will bring up the value of the rest of the property in the neighborhood, making the property taxes higher, and creating more income for the city.
Also, prior to 1999 when we moved in, it flooded once in the 25 years the house had been there, and this is the first ever year we have had back to back flooding.
-
Blah blah blah blah blah give Joel a handout.
-
Also, it comes from the fact that 35 years ago, when these river houses were built, the farmers drainage on all of thier fields sucked donkey balls. Since then, a lot of advancements in drainage have been made, and the thousand of acres of farm land directly south of us unload their water all at the same time, causing Very quick changes in water levels... but the government lets the farmers get away with anything, so I guess we'll have to work around that...

Only three things good save this thread.
1. Porn
2. Water turns around now and you did all that work for nothing.
3. Water reaches the top of the wall, wall brakes under the weight and the force of the water sweeps the bottom of your house out and it comes crashing down.
