Habitat House #65



This is a Superior manufactured home delivered in two parts, and set on a foundation with a full basement. It is not a trailer house, but a high quality build using first rate materials. The house is delivered and set in a single day, but there is still considerable work to be done by Habitat For Humanity volunteers and partner families.

  1. Nice and quick way of building. Also easy to transport this way.

  2. It's an exciting way to deliver superior housing. A recent segment on this old house featured a really nice, high end home built in a similar way. The tough part is getting the sections to the building site.

  3. Way back in the 80s I shot a feature story for "Home Mechanix Magazine" on these then-new idea high quality manufactured homes. Included a trip to North Carolina to photograph the factory manufacturing process, which was fascinating.

  4. I just got back from their thrift shop where I scored some classical LP's in fine shape--- 50 cents each! A great organization.

  5. What a quick way to set up new homes! In Germany this usually is a 1 year process. Admittedly, as real estate is really expensive, most of our houses are at least 2 storey.
