The new ihouse....

Post by bjornolf » May 7th, 2009, 8:21 am

It's environmentally friendly, and people say it's stylish (stylish maybe, but not sure I'd want to live there). Thoughts?

Looks decent enough, but if I'm spending 140K, Im buying a stick built house.

It looks like a double wide parked next to a utility building.

Here in the land of tornadoes, I've observed that the houses made of bricks usually withstand tornadic wind conditions. So while that house might work in California, land of earthquakes, it looks like the side might get blown off of it in a strong wind here.

Dang, I like it a lot. I'd consider one, were I in posession of an empty lot, and in need of a house.

I really like it too. I think it'd be an awesome lake or mountain house. Not beach house though...no way I'm putting that thing through a hurricane.
