    Quoted from jibmums:

    No sarcasm intended: do any storage/container companies offer a furniture-sized line of ziplock-type bags, thick enough to be fairly puncture resistant?

    There use to be one made for cars. Hold up an end, roll car in, then vacuum the air out. Seen it, but not up close.

    Quoted from bdPinball:

    My house is already on stilts, and if I had my way all my games would already be upstairs in my living room, spare room, bathroom, etc..

    Could you spend money on a system of block and tackle for each game. That would allow to raise the pins to the ceiling of the pin room. Securing that weight to the ceiling above would have to be worked out.
    Then create a way to get all of the flood water out of that room as fast as possible. You should be prepared, generator, electric fan/blowers, floor squeegee, and sump pump with battery back up. Which ever works for your room.
