  1. Definitely would like to hear more about your experiences. Very nice video.

  2. Also, those Shelter Dynamics houses are cute, but they appear to be very small, and while they seem cute and adorable all of the windows appear to be non-standard, so if they ever broke it seems like it would cost a fortune and take a long time to replace. Not that windows break often, but they do break.

  3. Did you say a "panelized" home was slightly more expensive than a modular home ... even though it seems like in the end you get less for it? That seems weird?

  4. When I Google for Phoenix House I get a Drug ReHab center ??? ;-)

  5. IF you get a panelized home, can you save money if you forego the interior stuff and do it by yourself as you can to your own specs?

  6. You mentioned Shelter Dynamics' different models, but on their website, which is very glitchy they only show the small one, and they give no costs or any other detail. I am in CA so that would be one of the companies I would look at. The problem is that none of these companies, that I know of at least, is make a go of it, so all these companies' products are very expensive because they have no volume or economy of scale. Do you have any idea how much Shelter Dynamics' houses costs, or a per square foot estimate?

  7. Every time I see some modular home scheme, they seem OK, most of them don't seem that great, but some are very nice - but, they all seem much more expensive than stick-built homes. That may be changing, but only because stick-built homes are hugely expensive.
