102 147th Avenue E

Madeira Beach, FL 33708

This duplex was built to Hurricane House standards in 1946, the building includes 2x6 ceiling joists, spaced 16 apart, load bearing walls throughout, 1 roof sheathing boards, reinforced concrete/metal sheet ceilings, and lathe and plaster wall coverings (no drywall). At the corner of 147th Ave and 1st Street, in the 32 years of our occupancy by current owners, no storm water levels ever crossed 1st Street or reached the building. By sandbagging the 4 doors of the building, the water level would have to rise over the window ledge height before any entered the building. Sandbags are stored in the full access attic, which has a metal pull-down for ease of accessibility. 4 Individual A/C units are installed in the walls (not the windows) above the floor and window ledge levels to insure survivability and use when the water levels rise. Being a full access attic, it is available for temporary occupancy and to store emergency equipment as well: sealed, non-perishable food supplies, camping stove, propane fuel tanks, etc. If the water were to rise excessively, the attic provides an escape area, and 2 vent screen openings on the dormers could provide for boat or helicopter evacuation. Additionally, a Ham Radio antenna system (G5RV) is installed in the attic, which allows for connection to a Statewide Amateur Radio Network (SARNET) which provides radio contact to all 67 Counties in Florida. When the local Cell towers fail, the battery powered radio system is still operational. The radio antenna system connection is also available in the 6x12 Smithbuilt shed located on the patio and a worktable and shelves provide for radio equipment, tool, and antenna storage. A 3500-watt Champion generator is also in the shed, to provide backup power when fuel is still available.
