Now I'm going stop the soap box speech for a second and give a pop quiz.  

'Nine ways from Sunday' is a figure of speech indicating that there could be many ways to do something, for instance analyze the investment value of a house.

We can build the finished floor elevation 1 foot above said plain and according to the models it shouldn't get wet even in a 100 year flood event.The Floor to Area ratio requirement is 40% (This is specific to Travis County, Texas) or less which would mean the maximum house size we could build is 6500 * 40% = 2600 sqft. 

Microwaving will cause the same effects as boiling, grilling, heating over a candle, etc.EDIT:  Also worth noting that elevated carcinogen levels in charred/burned food are well established.  

Next up would be floor plan & elevation.  

It is a raised house and I got a new elevation certificate....which "upgraded" my flood zone to an X.

These scams became widely known and now also have meaning as a common figure of speech."

But that does not include a basement or any aux. buildings.For me, we have to build elevated due to flooding concerns, all of my houses are at least 4ft off the ground (one was 7ft).  

.— from 9/12/14 —This of course this was followed up with the following elevator pitch ala an ad copy to get me to buy something. 

The question is what happens when you buy in CA and the elevator is going down instead of up.
