In the travel section of mensjournal.com regarding a vacation home, the cost and efficiency of building a modular or manufactured home are touted: They are built on an assembly line readied with appropriate materials for a particular pattern, and staffed with specialists. It is less expensive for the same reason, and can be trucked to the site as a unit, or in sections. The only difficulty would be siting it in a remote area. Writer Andrew Burmon then describes the different options: Manufactured homes can be affordable and attractive, built to look like ranch homes and shipped anywhere in the lower 48. WeeHouses are generally small with clean lines, come equipped with many amenities pre-installed, and start around $110,000. Log Cabins are piles of pre-cut wood, very rustic, to be assembled much like Lincoln Logs. The Original Log Cabin Homes sells a 224 sq. foot, two-room model for $20,670, MHProNews.com has been informed. Calling it “The Most Convenient Option,” Burmon describes boxes made the size of shipping containers that can be stacked in a variety of ways as a home, and easily shipped by truck or cargo ship to the destination. Meka World offers a 320 sq. foot Alp model that sells for $71,000. ##
