I saw this the other day, seems a little over the top, but then again I am not rich, nor was my house flooded last year.

Crews are nearly finished erecting an aluminum panel wall up to three metres high around the house of Allan Markin, a prominent businessman and philanthropist. Completely encircling his Elbow River property, the barrier also protects from groundwater with concrete and steel beams embedded 4.25 metres underground.
Despite its size and six-figure cost according to the contractor, it’s a temporary fence, to be dismantled after June and then reinstalled late next spring.
