How long will the houses we see in GD last? Week after week we see the inevitable "wooden pre fab bits constructed off site" appear on the back of a lorry. They appear to be made of offcuts compressed together with an awful lot of glue. A bit of water and they'll surely fall apart?
So these houses which, without fail, emphasise low fuel use and green credentials, are they going to fall apart? Will they still be around in 100 years like some of the draughty old brick things, which have at least earnt some green credibility just by lasting this long? Or are they just superficially "green", the Toyota Prius of the house world?
