Kind of an odd question to ask here I guess but are pier and beam style homes common in northern climes in the US and elsewhere?
I’m a few miles north of the southernmost part of Texas/mexico so it freezes for a day here. Plumbing is exposed, underside of flooring is exposed, etc. is this common elsewhere or just a southern/hot weather thing?
I’m rerouting plumbing under here today. Made me curious if this happens elsewhere…
In QLD Australia its very common. The stumps can be full on stilts or low like that. Especially popular in areas that flood.
I’m along the gulf coast, so I’m familiar w the stilt house setup. The homes right along the waters edge are all stilt construction, and way back along the river banks in the unincorporated hillbilly parts they’re stilt houses too.
The houses done the low way tend to be smaller, more budget minded homes, while the houses on the barrier island/waters edge are ALL stilts, large, small or in between.
