The last couple of times I have been to the Derksen Buildings lot...they had sold out of almost all their inventory. Today I noticed a new addition complete with solar panels, dish TV, air conditioning, a screen door and all windows outfitted with mini blinds. There was also a truck parked to the side of it as if someone was living in it.
I thought it was pretty neat specially for Terlingua...though I doubt those solar panels could run an air conditioning all day. Have no idea what it costs but I found it interesting nonetheless.
Gas went down .02 cents at our local Stripes. $3.31 if you use a credit card...$3.19 if you use their store card.
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
UPDATE
*********************************************************************************Just got off the telephone with Kyle Rentch of Derksen Buildings in Del Rio, Texas (830) 279-5867. He said a cabin like this is going for $18,000. It comes with four, 24 volt batteries that give him 17 hours of electricity. Those batteries are inside of the cabin.
This particular cabin is 12 x 28 with an 8 foot porch but it is specially built since the standard is a 6 foot porch. The living quarters is 12 x 20 inside and this particular model has an inside bathroom though they do not usually build them with one.
He runs his air conditioner all day at 70 degrees and powers his TV, printer, computer and a coffee machine with his inverter from the solar panels. How neat is that? You can buy yourself a little cabin with less than it would cost you to buy a new car.
Told him I had featured him in my blog. Though this is not the first time I do so as I find their buildings to be competitively priced and well built.
