Eureka I have an idea!

Sometimes I do think that life throws us all horrid experiences to make us stronger.
We all know the expression that “G-d doesn’t give anyone anything that they can’t handle”, and yes daily we are all being tested.
Many might feel that it isn’t fair.

My mind sometimes works with facts and sometimes just wishful thinking but I do believe this time I really do have a way to make the lives of all the people who have had their lives destroyed by Mother Nature’s wrath recover more quickly.
Modular homes are well becoming the way to get green, well built structures to the sites of devastated areas fully completed in four to eight weeks.
And no I am not talking mobile homes or those tiny little thrown together with spit and a prayer ones that you see in infomercials for twenty bucks a square foot but strong, hurricane strong, green fully overly insulated, Energy Star quality with all healthy materials dwellings at about eighty dollars per square foot!
They look like any home in any custom neighborhood and there are that many floor plans, but all major construction is begun in the factories.
And no, I do not own any stock or any of them, but boy I wish I did!
Here’s one site, just copy and paste, since their info is more elaborate, plus design info: http://www.breyerwoodhomes.com/ModularHomes.htm (Ohio)
Some take as long as three months to complete:

Here’s another to get you started:

Now if the insurance companies would cooperate with all of us consumers our neighborhoods could be rebuilt that much quicker after these horrendous things happen!
And people can get back to what they should be doing enjoying life and not worrying so much.
I have an old friend that actually had a three thousand square foot cedar contemporary complete with a spiral staircase and her mom’s home was a conventional bi-level in all done modular built on ten acres for her home, and this was gosh over twenty-five years ago!
Gorgeous homes and well built.
People are confused on what they are.
In Europe and Scandinavia they have been building like this for decades, and we are fortunate to have factories in our country for decades now too!
My goodness this could be the answer to so much devastation once they get the rubbish cleared away.
People need to get back to work and feel productive, being a veteran of the devastation wars I know what it feels like to feel so helpless, but doing something makes you feel so much better.

I know that I am not that smart, but I do have a lot of time on my hands and don’t forget all those years that Hubby and I have been do-it-yourselfers, gosh since before we were married since we rented a basement apartment that we had to reconstruct before the wedding! But we physically built our five bedroom bi-level in NJ and put on additions on many of our other homes, renovated kitchens and baths and not to mention Hubby was an apprentice plumber while going to college for Aeronautical Engineering at LaGuardia in NYC. And both our grandpas were in the building game I suppose it’s in our blood.
And many of you know how green we try to be with our veggie garden, rain barrels and compost, as well as recycling etc.
And so after much thought and consideration I do think it is not just a pie in the sky type of ridiculous idea, do you?
Nah, don’t answer if you’re going to say something negative, but if you have a positive feedback suggestion go right ahead.
But below is the surprising array of styles available:

Now I have done it; gotten you to do a bit of research too!
I truly think that you will not be disappointed and perhaps a bit surprised too.

On that note of sharing not such a bizarre brainstorm of mine… let me be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and to ask you kindly to count all your blessings and share your overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
Thanks again for reading.
