Building a New Construction in Marathon Florida: The Truss Hangers

[@apalma002]

Not sure of the exact question…. But the flood zone is an ae 7…. Our base floor is at 9.9’… so the code states you must build at base elevation or 13” above for max points on BPAS

You are wrong, this is really interesting video content. Especially in Florida, hate it when I see storm footage of roofs being completely being blown off. Better safe than sorry. Thanks for the content as always. Note: a little longer spent on the process would be cool.

Thank you very much for the wonderful comment. It’s always hard to gauge length of video versus attention span.😊

What sort of flood mitigation goes into the foundation/ground floor?

@@apalma002 Sorry, I was wondering about blow out panels or special drainage. Anything that is not in a normal house away from the coast.

Blowout walls are only needed (i think) when the walls sit below the flood plain. These wall sit above the flood level of 7'
