I have a dilemma. I just had an offer accepted on some property that I was buying specifically for an i-house, and I have 10 days in which to complete my due diligence before signing the papers. I just found out that according to our land use laws I have to have the i-house IN PLACE by August or I will have to pay for a new conditional use permit. This will cost, minimally, $6,000.00-and even with that amount of money the permit is not guaranteed. Can an i-house be completed in that amount of time? This would include getting the plans for it to the county and having them approved. I live in Oregon-not a great shipping distance-maybe this helps. I am very frustrated right now. This was my dream and because the sellers real estate agent did not inform me of the short amount of time I had which to replace the mobile I had I am afraid I can't get this done. Thanks, Carol

Do you have any plans  to add garage options as part of the flexiblity of the ihouse?

Additionally, what are the R-values of the insulated walls and roof?

Thanks!

Where is the heating/cooling/power infrastructure kept? I don't really see it on the floor plans. Things like: Furnace Air conditioner Battery system for solar system on demand hot water heaters Are all these things included in your quoted price? Also, how do you heat/cool the Flex room? Do you run duct work from the main house to it? Thanks!

Hello How movable is the i-house after the initial installation? Let's say I purchase, place, and live in for 3 years then want to move it to another site? Thanks

I have a Clayton Homes center in my area, but have never seen any advertisements about the ihouse in my area...I live in the Danville, VA area. I was wondering if the ihouse is offered in this area?

Hello, do you all know when you will be available in my area, Avery County NC, we are approx. 80 miles north of Asheville. I am in love! I have land and I've searched & searched, considered a yurt, but an ihouse is definitely for me!!! Please help! ---Thank you!

Good morning,

What type of insulation do you use in the ceiling, walls and floor, and what are the rated R values of each (ceiling, wall, floor)?

Thank you,

I just closed escrow on a 13500 Sq. ft lot in San Mateo county.  I plan on subdividing into 2 lots.  I want to know if floorplan can be altered so living room/kitchen is in back and bedroom is in front facing st with the same window configuration.

Hello from Japan.  I love the ihouse concept.  It looks like something that is tailor made for Japan.  Beyond some of the challenges of meeting building codes, appliance matching, etc., would shipping the house to Japan outweigh the value offered by the house through increased shipping costs?  How would the house be shipped?  How would it be constructed here?  Thanks.

to know when your coming to the Lehigh Valley? There are great views and foiliage in my area.

 

Burney....

Can you tell me what your actual utility costs are at your iHouse demo units in Knoxville, Atlanta, and any other locations where you have real world samples of costs? ....Also, any chance that spray foam insulation will become an option?

ok, now that I have an account, how can I get an Ihouse?!  We love it!!  We have a 40 year old dinasour - in the midst of a lengthy reno.  We'd love to pull it & put in an Ihouse!  Please - any info?

Thanks,

Michelle

Hi Guys:

I am considering the i-house II with a basement under it.  Local building codes will not allow a staircase to be extended outside the dimensions of the house.  So my question is . . . where inside the i-house would be the best place for a staircase to the basement?  Thanks in advance.  I love the house.
