We are looking for a website/company we saw awhile ago, but have now forgotten everything "searchable" about it. It is a type of panel house kit that can include everything "in one" --from appliances to generators to graywater systems. Does anyone have a clue what we are talking about? Any help toward refinding this company would be helpful!

Here is a panel house kit, but I'm not sure if it's what you have in mind:
Panel Homes, Log & Modular House Kit, Modern Prefabricated Home Building

Default Eco kit house

Hello,
These kit houses are very eco-friendly, though they are primarily house shells with some interior components - all non-toxic, use local solid wood/timber. Check out www.noble-home.net.

Good luck,
Noah

Bensonwood is a fabricator of high end (expensive but will last forever) prefab timber frame housing. The recent programs on the "This Old House” PBS series is featuring a Bensonwood prefab. Try reading "the Timber Frame House” by Ted Benson.
