Prefab life off the Grid
So, you’re thinking about grabbing a few acres of dirt, and building a simple cabin. Well take a look at this article about mail order green homes I came across: http://fabprefab.com/fabfiles/home.htm
How Can I Get A Prefab Home?
The easiest way to get a prefab home is to call a design firm that specializes in prefab such as one of the ones mentioned above. Here are some of the other options in green prefab design:
- pieceHomes (Los Angeles, CA)
- Blu Homes (Boston, MA)
- Eco-Infill (Denver, CO)
- kitHAUS (CA)
- Hive Modular (Minneapolis, MN)
- h-haus (Santa Fe, NM)
Many people I talk to in Boone are interested in Off-the-Grid life. Many homes in the area are already basically free because they use a well or spring for water and a septic tank for waste. However, they are all powered by Blue Ridge Electric or New River Electric. I came across a pretty great site for purchasing Solar/Wind/Generator kits, take a look: http://firemountainsolar.com
