Lowe's Sells 'Katrina Cottages' Online
From the Lowe's Web site: "Mountain retreat, vacation cabin, guesthouse, permanent dwelling --the Katrina Cottage models are designed to take on many roles. Options include Hardie fiber-cement siding, metal 5-V crimp roof, refrigerator and range, and spacious porches."
Yes, that's right, the home improvement giant appears to be selling the small cottages -- designed to replace FEMA trailers after Hurricane Katrina -- online and in their stores. "We had so many requests that the company decided to make them available nationwide," a spokeswoman told the Contra Costa Times.
Katrina Cottage plans can be purchased from Lowe's for $700, with the lowest priced "building kit" starting at $17,000. The cottages come in various styles and sizes. My imaginary plan: Buy one, plunk it down right on the Georgetown waterfront and see who moves me.
