Garbage bags cover the bedroom windows to keep the chilly air at bay. There is siding taped to the house to prevent it from falling off on a windy day. Water damage is visible throughout the interior. There are electrical problems and the insulation is so poor that ice forms on the inside of the walls.
The entire building itself tilts to one side because it was misplaced on top of the foundation.
It was supposed to be the dream home Max Martinez had always wanted for his wife Joselyn Barrera and his three children.
Instead, he spent $135,000 on an unsafe prefabricated steel frame home or modular home, which is built offsite before delivery, that he had to spend another $145,000 repairing before his family could move in.

Martinez is just one of dozens of customers in Canada and the U.S. who each paid tens of thousands of dollars to an Ontario-based company that promised to build them steel frame modular homes.
Now, it seems less and less likely they will ever receive the homes they were promised after Green Terra Homes filed for bankruptcy in January.
