The Atomic House: Survive the Economic Fallout!

This blog began after years of having  many home plans in my mind, including converting two shipping containers into a home, ferrocement houses, and even a house that functions as an RV parking space.

Recentially I cam across a blog about The Clayton i-house and spoke with the gentleman who created it. After carefull consideration, I believe I could design a better, (much) lower cost option that would be easy for people to build, possibly by a single person. 

I chose to take my ideas to the web in order to get others opinions, ideas, and DIY tips that will make the plan capable of being built by anyone who has the will.  I hope this blog expands to the point that others will be able to give their input on the design and, once complete, follow the construction of this affordable solution to the overinflated housing market.

Base ideas

Size: Around 600 - 800 Square Feet (2 br, possibly 2 bath)

Heat: Radient Floor Heat

Cooling: Central AC

Insulation: Walls 6" thick, as good insulation as possible BUT at a reasonable price.

Electric: Solar or Wind power to reduce cost with battery storage

Futureproof: Eaisly expandable to a second level

I will try to post pictures of house plans I've sketched up along with further comments on what I hope to put into this home!
