Students standing up a bedroom wall
Last week the project progressed quickly from a steel sub-structure to an enclosed space with the installation of the SIP wall and roof panels, by the students. To see a floor plan and the progress so far, Click the "continue reading" link below.

The gray and white areas on the floor plan indicate the outdoor and indoor spaces. We will use bar grating for the outdoor spaces and ceramic tile for the interior. The deck on the left hand side of the plan cantilevers over a wash framing a view of Palo Verde trees and distant desert.

This week, Milgard, will come out and install the sliding glass doors for the prototype. I look forward to sharing installation day with the Prairie Mod readership.

It would be nice to see a site plan and elevations. At least a north arrow on the drawing would be helpful.

We'll have to try and get those for everyone. Stay tuned...

OK, I've already built a house based on Jacobs #1.
Now I need a small holiday retreat.
How much for a ModFab Kit? How much to ship it to New Zealand?
Please reply to the email address in this post. Thanks.

I really like this prototype. It deserves a website of it's own to share all the details and drawings. It would be so valuable to us who are interested. As it stands the whole project and it's construction is quite vague.
