Coastal garages fill first when storm tide barrels in-taking cars, tools, and decades of memories with them. This book flips that script. Architect-engineer Eduardo Reyes teaches you how to turn an ordinary slab-on-grade garage into a buoyant "asset pod" system that rises with floodwater, keeps contents bone-dry, and settles back down when the water retreats.

What you'll build and learn

- Floating pod anatomy - plywood, closed-cell foam, and stainless hardware arranged to meet ASCE 24 freeboard guidelines.

- Track & tether system that lets pods glide six feet up walls without scraping studs-or drifting into your neighbor's yard.

- Two weekend budgets: a rough-cut DIY at $850 in materials, or a finished carpenter's version at $2 k.

- Step-by-step layout for sealing electrical, fuel, and HVAC penetrations so the rest of the house stays safe.

- Safe-lifting calculations so you know exactly how many pounds each pod can protect-whether that's power tools, heirloom furniture, or a classic motorcycle.

- Permitting talk-tracks, inspection checklists, and insurance-premium-reduction tips that pay the project back in under three years for most policyholders.

- Maintenance routines and seasonal prep so nothing binds, rusts, or molds before the next big surge.

Real-world case studies from Florida, Louisiana, and the Philippines prove the concept works-in wood-frame cottages, concrete block ranchers, and even townhouse carports.
