Regarding the Virginia prefab house kit, you can follow the latest progress on the house kit construction blog, here. The prefab passive solar house kit's interior walls were just completed this week... as soon as it stops snowing we will post those pictures... Please note it is a personal blog and silliness abounds in those posts... you have been warned.
Currently, we are all, humans, dogs, feral cat, and especially our chickens, officially snowed in.
The Colorado prefab green home begins this spring after their snow melts, sometime in mid-March... we will keep you posted on that house kit construction!
Recent Press:
- As previously noted, Green Modern Kits will be in The Wall Street Journal's Smart Money Magazine, to be published this spring.
- If you live in Richmond, Virginia, make sure to pick up the next Richmond Magazine... : )
- Tree Hugger's Lloyd Alter mentions us as we think about living a smaller footprint lifestyle which Oprah seemed not to quite appreciate on a visit to one Swedish home...
