modular home update

Sandcastle;145854]I?m serious. I saw a small portion of a news clip about modular homes being built in Mississippi (or LA). They were very small, but architecturally attractive. They looked like tiny Seaside cottages ? white picket fences and all! They could be expanded into larger homes at a later date, or used as a guest house.

Yes, it was mentioned that Lowes will eventually sell the plans, kits, etc. Also, the cost of the home shown was $45,000 ? versus $65,000 for a FEMA trailer. They?re supposed to withstand a wind force of 135MPH.

Prior to the news clip, there was an article in the Seaside Times about Robert Davis? involvement in a similar project for the hurricane victims. After reading the Seaside Times article I thought that the concept sounded great. I would really like to see the homes.

When I?m at the beach next week, I might walk over and talk to someone in the Seaside Community Development Corporation?s office and see if I can get some more info.

I like your TAR. We just brought home a Yorkiepoo that's 10 weeks old.

That's great....more affordable housing!:clap_1: I'll be real interested in hearing about this, as well. Please let us know what you find out, from Seaside. I've been doing some research on the modulars myself and hear that they're actually stronger and better built, than stick homes.

I'm glad ya like, my TAR! I have a precious yorkie, named Princess Heather. Her nick name's Twinky and her nick name for her nick name's Nini! She's very smart, loving, extremely loyal and somewhat over protective! You're in for a lifetime, of lotsa love & kisses! What's your baby's name?

A lot of these homes are very attractive and they're getting better every year. Many of the joints are glued as well as nailed and they're stronger than "stick" houses. I might buy one for a lot that we have in NC

We named her Albatross. Her nick name is Ali.;-) She's a lot of fun! She enjoys chasing Bright Eyes, the Martini Time cat -- that fluffy tail is just too much to resist.:clap_1: Bright Eyes really even enjoys her, but she hates to admit it.

These are great. We'll probably spend most of next week at the beach. I'll let you know what we find out when we return to Tallahassee -- there's no computer at the beach (thank God).;-)

When I visited the Seaside Developer?s Office last week no one was there. The door was unlocked, the lights were on, etc., but the place was deserted. I heard later that everyone was attending a land use seminar.

I?d still like to learn more about Robert Davis? involvement in providing modular housing for hurricane victims in Mississippi. I?ll try again when I?m back at the beach next week.

Who is the contractor from Pensacola familier with Deltec houses?

You said "... if you have an experienced contractor and there is one in Pensacola". I am considering building a Deltec home in Pensacola, Fl. Could you please let me know who is the contractor from this area who is familiar with Deltec homes?
Sincerely, Alexander
