hi stillhope. we are up 8 feet built here in 81-82. the advantage is all the "free space" under the house. we have workspace for many projects and storage, it is easy to get to all plumbing/electrical to work on...but as david said those stairs! we had to build a handicap ramp last year for our dog and at 1 inch rise a foot, well you can do the math.... and we find ourselves using it alot as the knees get older so like everything in life advantages and disadvantages...
