They needed to actually cover the whole house.... then, it might have worked.

Thanks for the update.

I think it's still possible to do but the house would have to be specially designed. You would need a flat exterior wall at least 4 feet high so that you could insert a water proof barrier around the perimeter deep into the ground. You couldn't openings, no matter how small. The problem with sandbags and plastic is that the water seeps through because of the space between the plastic film and the ground.

I've never been to Venice, Italy, but they seem to have figured it out = http://www.panoramio.com/photo/31794134
