Piling, pier, stilt foundation home plans Coastal, flood plain houses & homes on pilings
I now am the proud owner of 3.6 acres of Innerbanks (on the Pamlico R)
and since Irene, realize there is NO way I will be building on a pad or even crawl space.
Thus....has anyone lived on Pilings/stilts/piers...?
I am wondering about things like cold floors in winter...annoying wind droning..
hauling furniture & groceries up flights of stairs...insurance (despite being well above flood stage)...cost?
Would you risk living on the coast in one of the models like--
House plans, home plans and new home designs, including floor plan alternatives to modular homes, log homes and pole barns
(I just contacted the company & they were very quick to respond)
VERY tempted to begin the home as a B&B for boaters on the NC coast.
Anyway,...I needed to dream about getting away from working in PG county.
