By DIY Maven

A Beautiful Bend Oregon Green Prefab

From Stillwater Dwellings in Bend, Oregon, this 2,950 s.f. prefab should sway any prefab-nay-sayers. Take a look inside:

Besides being gorgeous, Stillwater Dwellings are seriously eco-friendly as evidenced by such things as bamboo, low-VOC paints, high efficiency lighting and high-performance insulation, as well as many other 'green' choices. And get this, their prefab factories produce 50% to 75% less waste than traditional site-built homes. I wonder if they deliver??

I wondered that myself Maven. Just seems rediculous to me no matter what you call them.

'Prefab' went and came back, as far as I can tell. It may have something to do with eschewing the word 'mobile', which has a bad connotation to some people like your old neighbors.

Hey Maven, I haven't heard the term "prefab" in decades. Around here it's changed to a "modular home". Personally I've never had an clue why folks think they are such an awful thing when you consider they are built under perfect conditions in a factory instead of out in the elements. Everything is measured precisely, and like this company, often use higher quality materials. We live in a newish very nice country neighborhood. A couple years ago a couple in their mid-fifties bought land and proceeded with the usual ground breaking, which cause no problems until the day the "house" came. Our friendly neighborhood was in an uproar. If this home had been build for the rest of them drove by looking for land, they'd have never, ever, guessed it wasn't stick built. Their attached garage and sunrooms were stick built. I was truly embarrassed for the way my neighbors acted. They hadn't even met the homeowners yet and they hated them for bringing a modular home into our "perfect" neighborhood! By the way, the worse of the offenders moved and we all adore our new neighbors so there has been a happy ending.
