I have heard many people talk about the extra storage they have with the raised house....
Be aware: in the Oct. '06 earthquake much of the damage to structures was when an unreinforced monolith structure moved, and when a P&P structre moved off of the piers.... I studied a report of a homeowner that lost his house & his company, as he stored all of work equipment & vehicles in the space under the house... I have yet to find any earthquake insurance coverage here, so all of the damage in an earthquake is not covered... unless you can get coverage. The homeowner mentioned in the report did not have coverage for damage to his vehicles, due to the fact that the damage was caused by the house & not covered in his homeowners insurance....
