Anyone using their 'pod as a shelter?

   Got back into the house yesterday.  Had 7 foot of water in the basement that was finished as our master bedroom.  We began pumping out so we can see what can be savaged.  We will not finish this Basement again.

The other house we are rehabing right now had some water in the basement and the parking area was all washed out but was better.  I'm going to get into high gear and finish the rehad so we can move up there. 

Looks like we will place the pod on our yard and use it as a bedroom for a while.  I'm just glad that was all the damage as others lost even more

	We park our pod at a friend's farm rather than at our house because we're in a year-round flood zone and Evac zone along the Shoreline. We had originally planned to go to the pod if the power was going to be out for more than a day, mostly for showers and to move some things into the pod-fridge, but there were so many trees and power lines down that there was no way to bring the pod down to the house immediately after Irene. By the time the roads were clear enough to get the pod down, we were 4 days without power and the power came back on at 5 1/2 days.... At least we got a few hot showers in it. We always have our pod-bag and evac-bags (with a small propane stove) packed and ready to go if we had to. -T
