the point is that you don't. GP said "build around". it floods where you live? go live somewhere else. high winds there? try again. repeat untill your house survives longer than you live (and die of old age). also try not to build something that lights on fire easily. Guess what, the edge of an ocean isn't the best place to build a house.
