Relatively low quality wood can be upgraded by cooking it under pressure (it is called Platowood). The result is durable wood without any maintenance demands!

It makes it so easy to set up your "home sweet home" and not have the headache of stick building a home. As long as the components don't have to be shipped too far from the manufacturing site to the home site. If it has to be shipped over about 400 miles then I question how green it is in the end.

I have been interested in "green technology" since the 80's and now live in a very remote area where all of it can be put to good use: wind, solar, geo-thermal, hydro and now green building. Keep up the good work! Absolutely love it!
