Couple who owns house on STJ with last name "Greathouse
Couple who owns house on STJ with last name "Greathouse
Hey everyone -
My husband and I have been considering building a vacation home somewhere for the last couple of years (hoping St. John someday, but it's so cost-prohibitive). Not people to rush into anything, we've done a lot of research and are really interested in doing a prefab house by a company called Deltec. I saw an article in one of the local St. John magazines about green building (and smaller building) and the article profiled a couple with the last name Greathouse who built a small round house on the island from a Deltec kit. I am wondering if anyone knows these folks b/c I'd love to ask them questions about how they handled the cistern and site prep work.
Anyway, if you do and would be willing to pass along my info to them, please send me a PM and let me know. I will delete this posting if requested. Thanks!

Interesting website.
Would you do it yourself? I am in awe of the Seagrape couple than did their own (traditional construction) house.
I have worked with the modular home industry for a number of years. I remember one company in particular was trying to break into the VI market after the big hurricanes about 10 years back. I know some guys that lived on STT for a few years setting houses.
You might be able to link up with those owners thru the Friends of the VI Park. I remember the Friends did a green house tour a while back and I am pretty sure that house was on it.
