Updating a post MHProNews published June 18, in which a modular builder announced the availability of furnished units for emergency housing in tornado ravaged Okla., the company is donating one of the homes. MODS (Modular On Demand Structures) International Marketing of Appleton, Wis. converts shipping containers into modular housing, as well as offices and other commercial applications, and is sending a unit to an Okla. family that will be fully furnished. “We build them out. They’re built like a home — same framing, same insulation, heating and air conditioning. Very simple, same plumbing. It’s all built to code, international building codes,” Doug Larson with MODS told fox6now.
