Building

We don't recognize normal or unusual weather "patterns".  And we can't speak to any other area's "building codes" but our own:

• There is "required" to be a drop in elevation of 1 foot for every 6 feet of distance away from a home.
• If a home sits back 18 feet from the sidewalk, there must be an upward incline that's 3 feet in height from the sidewalk to the home.

"Forgetting" or "skipping" that "step" is never "allowed" or backward.

Later or sooner, if a "builder" or "seller" doesn't follow the "guidelines"... a home will be "upside down" or "underwater".

Outside down or inside up.
