My understanding is that all houses in Netherlands are like that.
Call me crazy but wouldn't it be one heck of a lot cheaper to just raise the houses ONCE then leave them raised? (like they've been doing with beach houses for 100+ years now)
1/3 of Netherlands is below sea level so unless they transport shit ton of dirt from elsewhere, I don't see that making sense.
Why would they need a ton of dirt? (might have to import a bunch of lumber maybe)

People have been building beach houses this way as I said for a LONG time and jacking a house up once then setting it on posts of some kind HAS to be cheaper then a mechanism that jacks up the entire structure including the foundation lol.
(above examples are among thousands of pics from 1 search)
they built a concrete boat lined with styrofoam. not all that different from regular foundation. Plumbing and electric hookup are the tricky parts.
what's next, the Joe Theisman injury?Conor McGregor breaks his leg at end of the 1st round versus Poirier.
