As a professional engineer, my advice is to stay on the landward side of the crack...

We could soil pin that rock back together. Where is your sense of professional adventure? We are going to need an anit-gravity platform to support the hydro rock drill. We could anchor the cracked strata with a tractor beam while we pin the masses together with unobtanium and epoxy.

Don't forget, we now live in Utopia. Anything is possible.

If it breaks off, it is still there. They will just need a very long ladder to get down to mow the bottom part of the property.

Surf’s up!

The upside is they will be closer to the lake.

There isn’t enough duct tape on the planet..

Who builds a house on an overhanging cliff?

What’s the old line..buy very cheap land in the Nevada desert..when the BIG ONE hits California, it’ll be waterfront property

While working at a group home for at-risk boys residential
facility I heard one teen accused another of something.
The accused responded with “Man, you must be smokin’
butt crack!” It was the first time I heard the ‘butt’
part included so it took several seconds to fight off
the urge to laugh.

I’m guessing a leaky pool - have seen it several times.

In July 2014, fire crews burned down a luxury home teetering atop a crumbling 75-foot limestone cliff over Lake Whitney, rather than wait for it to tumble into the water.

Looks like the fire department will have to do it again. Maybe this time they'll tell the family inside before they torch it.

Bush’s fault... no pun intended!

It’s a natural, inevitable process. Water and time always win.

FYI...I thin k the title insurance company has to pay up..because you can’t convey title to something that isn’t there anymore..

Interestingly enough.

In Wrightsville Beach, NC, at the north end there’s an inlet.

Over time, ocean currents had eroded the beach to such an extent that the Army Corps of Engineers had to come in sand bags the size of cars to keep the condominium complex from succumbing to the sea.

In the meantime, the sand being eroded was being deposited on the other side of the inlet.

Long story short. The last home, on the other side, suddenly found themselves with 100 plus yards of new beachfront.

Then folks started showing up claiming that years ago they owned homes there that were lost to the sea.

And they wanted to re-build their home where it previously stood.

What a mess !!!

That is not a crack.

It's called 'rear cleavage'.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

You’re 100% absolutely fna skippy correct. A crack like that calls for the heavy artillery. It’s now Bondo time

I think the pool is fine from what I saw in the video.

If however the pool is leaking or cracking, then the house will probably go as well.

In a former life I built custom in-ground pools.

When it finally falls off, will the property owner get a reduction in his property taxes?

Will his landscapers give him a reduction in their grass cutting fees?

One has to look at the positive side of things........

[exPBRrat]

Insurance companies should get a surcharge for someone reckless enough to build on a constantly eroding cliff like that...

...beautiful house and property though.
