John Kaay has left a new comment on your post "Demolition of 187 Low-cost Prefabs in UK Slated": This reminds me very much of the Lustron home my family lived in around 1950 - 1955, in Evergreen Park, Illinois. Prefabricated, everything made of steel in a factory. Even the closets and cabinets were built in steel.

I'm two weeks past my shoulder operation, and practically stylin. A little better every day. I don't get to start therapy for another 3 weeks. Right arm better but still weak. Walked 5 miles yesterday, along beach with mixmaster ocean, water tussled and murky, 20+mph cold winds from north. Walking along thinking how gnarly it was, then realized how great it was …

With each move, I?ve left behind furniture I painstakingly collected, books I promised myself I?d read, and kitchen utensils too grody to justify hauling around the country one more time. Every so often, I fantasize about my life in an alternative universe?a universe in which I don?t have the …

"?The exterior of the original cabin has been left untouched in order to preserve the history and natural backcountry wilderness appearance.The interior hand hewn log siding adds to the history of this cabin. Heating with the wood stove is so classical as well as efficient.Incorporating the Off Grid solar system didn?t intrude on the charisma. Cabin must be moved." http://tinyhouselistings.com/hand-hewn-historic-cabin/
