Season 14 -

Modular Mountain Retreat

Berkshires, MA

Beautifully sited on wooded acreage with breathtaking views of some of the most beautiful countryside in New England, this Arts and Crafts style bungalow certainly doesn't look factory-built. You'd never know it was a modular home unless Bob took you to the Pennsylvania factory where it was built, almost from start to finish. We'll follow the house down the assembly line from framing, through wiring and plumbing, all the way to the installation of flooring and priming for paint. We'll truck the house to its pre-fabricated foundations on the lot, and start all the finishing touches that will prove that a modular house doesn't have to be a cookie-cutter affair.
