Proudly Serving Our Veterans

Veterans Village Tiny Homes Project

Early in 2018, we had the privilege to help our veterans by delivering the first of eleven Tiny Home units to Veteran’s Village in Las Vegas Nevada. On February 14th the grand opening and ribbon cutting commenced with keynote speaker and Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn G. Goodman and other dignitaries.

Instant Housing Solution

Housing for homeless veterans is badly needed. Construction of typical homes is costly and time consuming. Funding problems force many homeless vets to fend for themselves. Shipping containers deliver a fast, affordable and comfortable solution to stick construction and makes great ecological and economic sense. We’re pleased to help make that happen.

Addressing a Nationwide Crisis

This project is part of a national plan to address the Veteran’s Housing Crisis. The project is a model for the future. According to Veterans Village founder Dr Arnold Stalk PhD, this fast and environmentally friendly building option creates an affordable housing solution to meet the housing needs of veterans. It also provides support for veterans to transition back into civilian life. We are proud to help bring this project to life.

How You Care Help

Funding is badly needed, so project costs are being provided by your generous donations. Veteran’s Village utilizes “in-kind” donations that directly benefit veterans. This includes money as well as food and clothing. Learn more about how you can donate to the Veterans Village project.

MODern Press Box Project

MODS Delivers Winning Press Box Project

Last summer we had a wonderful opportunity to help the Columbus School District create a modern and sturdy press box for the Cardinals high school football team. In what almost amounts to a winning season all by itself, Columbus High School now has an all-star press box to call future games.

High School Football Coach Scott Hilber came to MODS because their existing press box was dangerous and ready to collapse. The MODS design team assembled and quickly created a design to fit the school’s needs.

Custom Press Box Solution:

In the end, MODS was able to provide a stunning structure that all of Columbus can be proud of. The finished project is visually pleasing with beautiful colors matching the theme of Columbus High School.

From start to finish, the project took just a week, allowing the Cardinals to show off their new facility just in time for kick off! Go Cardinals!

Construction Overview:

The Press Box is not just pretty, it’s strong. The project consist of two 8′ x 8′ x 40′ sea containers in a stacked configuration. The base container required a “patch” extension to match the height of the existing grand stand bleachers.

The base of the new press box includes secure storage behind a 14 gauge steel wall. These steel side walls are 2mm thick which is strong enough to stop a speeding bullet. The only way inside would be with a oxygen cutting torch. The top section has security glass to prevent potential vandalism or break ins.

Topping It Off:

The red hand rail and upper level steps add the finishing touch and afford the user a safe place for TV cameras and media photographers to catch the action from a birds eye view. Custom electrical and audio is wired securely within the hardened structure. Final paint and roof treatment delivers years of maintenance free use.

Tiny Home Sleeping Solutions

Living in a cozy tiny home requires a minimalist approach to life. Since most the time spent in your tiny space will be sleeping, a good bed made for small spaces is essential. Conventional beds and headboards are not very practical when every square inch is at a premium. Limited space means that a stiff square mattress is harder to move in and position. Futons make a great sleeping option and can double as sitting space during the day.
