USA building largest prefab-container-house factory in all North America

I’m adding this link to the blog as I’m recently inspired by speaking with Robyn just outside of Orangeville, Ontario.  Prefab housing is an industry on the rise – no doubt there.  As we sat in our respective cars with windows down in her driveway, I passed a booklet which told the story so-far of the container house to her.  We spoke for 15 minutes about young people and the work-related opportunities they have.  In fact, we didn’t really know what to say about the work situation awaiting new graduates.   We did though have a sense that a classically ‘German’ model of apprenticeship in the trades was a blessing.  I told her about the workshops (the boXshops) which we host every 2nd Saturday of the month.  I hope she and her hubby and her children attend the next one.
Why?  Because we want good work for young Guelph graduates.  I’d love to hear that her son had a stellar experience working along side a professional instructor at the next BoxShop. I believe that projects which are infusing community workshops & innovative designs are a significant part of the puzzle in these days of less security & more opportunity.       PS.  We are in need of three things:  1.barnwood,   2.two yards of clay  &  3.a grant-writer willing to be paid retroactively.   If you have any contacts for us, please email ck@thebirdhouse.org   And a mirthful solstice to all!
