Thanks guys! This type pile (10x10" with 18' in the ground and 12' above ground) construction is normal for coastal areas. Forgot the most important shot of all....the garage. Note that I did not put piles on a grid system. Had them installed so they would be in walls. All treated material on lower floor and I installed rigid insulation between the sheathing and the hardi panel. In the event it floods, I simply rinse out the lower floor. It is 1,703 sf but I'm going to have to give up a few square feet for my wife's play area. This is a "Pano" shot from my IPhone. My shop area is way back in the far left. Ended up with Overhead Door brand 10' wide pressure rated insulated garage doors with side mounted direct drive openers. Incredibly quiet. The 4' LED's light up the place nicely. I've got 9 more to mount. Installed five knockouts using PVC pipe in the concrete for future anchor pots in case I need to pull on anything.
