Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Open Source Policies and more

[Judith Bush (jbush]

A company selling modular parts such as Cecile describes exists in NH.  It's 
been around for 40 years.  Check out the website for Shelter Kit 
(www.shelter-kit.com).   Shelter Kit helps people design structures of all 
sizes, and recently emphasizes green technology.  It aims for a ready to 
put-together product, co-designed with the buyer, that arrives on your site 
in shape for owners to construct the building without need for heavy 
equipment or even prior building experience.
Many years ago, I visited the modest plant, which is in the small town of 
Tilton.  It has the potential for helping with some of the affordability 
issue in cohousing design and construction.  I see from the site that in 
Fall 2009 and January 2010 it was featured in some national publications, so 
it is definitely going strong.
