Re: [GBlist] Green Modular Home -Portland

["Ted Shelton" <ted655@hotmail.com>]

             This is how the difference was explained to me by a dealer. If 
the frame sits "back" under the side of the home it is a MOBILE. The steel 
frame of a modular is on the edge of the walls and is set on a conventional 
style foundation. Both are built in the same manner, using the same nasty 
urea, formaldehyde, PVCs, foams, glues and VOL ingredients. To get that cost 
per square, they aren't worrying about our health OR the Earth. Plus, like a 
auto, they are worth 1/2 the minute they roll off the "lot". They fill a 
need, but you can't kiss em and turn them into a prince.
