GERING, Neb. — .The Fillingham family builds modular homes inside a huge factory in Gering, Nebraska, and then ships those homes all over the region.
While it may resemble an auto plant in Detroit, the family-owned factory in western Nebraska is pumping out 16 new homes at a time. Fillingham's grandfather and founder of Family Built Homes, John Fillingham, is still at the Nebraska factory.Nip Fillingham's brother, Tuck, works at the factory, too, alongside their dad, Doug, as well. What makes their story newsworthy now is that of the 16 modular homes currently on the assembly line, at least three are on their way to Marshall fire victims in Superior and Louisville, and two are headed to East Troublesome fire victims in Grand County.
