If you have a pit, make sure you have about $5 million in an umbrella policy. You're going to need it when some one falls in, and they will.

Houses fall off slabs all the time in earthquakes... There are probably some nails, maybe bolts into the slab from the header board. When you lift they will generally pull out.
