        <description><![CDATA[There's about as much warmth and &quot;let me stay here and never leave&quot; factor as a kitty box.  Where's the usability? Where's the storage?  Perhaps they forgot to show us all the wonderful features but this is one time I think a fool and his money were parted.  Perhaps this is the beginning of something really great but to me there's still a lot of room for improvement.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Modular, precision-built (my term for &quot;prefabricated&quot;, which for everyone in the world except for the builders, apparently, (and maybe their friends and relatives) means cheap, shoddy low-class construction) housing could/should the future of residential low/mid-rise construction, if only people in the industry could see that they're trying to market on an irredeemable brand: &quot;prefabricated&quot;.  Rather than resuscitate a failed brand, why not launch a new one without baggage.  Precision-built housing has so many benefits: lower cost, faster construction, less waste, more control, better quality, greener...the list goes on, the industry should ditch the 20th century term and use a modern one, that truly captures the benefits of the  technology.It would also be great if SOMEone could come up with a modular, precision-built style that wasn't Modern.Rob Watson @kilrwat]]></description>
