My Dad told me that the house he grew up in was ordered from Sears. They had to build a foundation to set it on, but everything else was shipped to them from Sears and they assembled it. That was about 90 years ago.
I wonder if Amazon will start selling prefabricated houses?
Go to Amazon and pick out the features you want in your converted shipping container. Pour a slab to set it on. Free 2nd-day delivery with Prime.
- turk184 9y agoI have a hard time imagining how crappy those houses must have been given how bad today's manufactured homes are and the companies that make them are really trying hard. Plus, the "house" you describe was just the outer shell of a house, Sears didn't ship the plumbing, toilet (assumably), fixtures, cabinets, etc. That all had to be built or otherwise accounted for. I lost track of what your point was. No, I don't think Amazon is getting into the low end of the housing market. I'd sooner imagine those kinds of houses getting "3D printed" out of concrete or something along those lines.
