Well?
I wouldn't!
Errrrrrrrrrrrr let me think? No flipping way!
I hope those supports are sunk in about a half mile.
Photoshopped or real?

The people on Grand Designs last week built their new house only a few feet from a cliff edge. The local council said they wouldn't install sea defences as it wasn't cost effective to do so (probably quite correctly).
The couple planted a few weeds on the cliff face to try and offer some protection against erosion, but ultimately they reckoned the place probably had fifty to sixty years before the sea would claim it.
They'll both be dead by then so I don't suppose it'll affect them too much, but it seemed a slight shame to burn all that money on such a short term project.

Weren't they eventually told that they could get away replacing any eroded cliff face with the same substance, so basically they can dig up the surrounding countryside to dump it onto the cliff and reinforce it? That seemed like it'd make it last longer.
