Modular homes are becoming a buzzword again as property prices plummet and hopeless homeowners auction off their houses. The New York Times recently posted a blog called "Reinventing Modular Housing as Green" about rising trends in modular home construction that can help homeowners save money while saving the environment. The blogger highlights the energy-efficient and sustainable quality of modular components like walls that are sealed together with screws and glue instead of just nails to increase insulation and floors made of biodegradable bamboo. Sound oddly familiar? That's because BobVila.com wrote about it here last year. We have the New York Times beat.
