To be perfectly clear, the house was free… hmmm, what does that really mean? Well we bought the land and the shop- because the Hubs had “reasons”- the shop is massive! BUT I never thought I would live in a manufactured home. In a different life, Hubs was a General Contractor that built gorgeous houses, and I thought one of these days I’d get lucky, but 2007-2009 being what they were, that didn’t happen. So when we had the chance to buy this place at an auction- and no, we did not have to pay cash- we initially thought we would pull this out and build. But considering how cheap I am, and it was a triple-wide and I really didn’t want to spend $$$, we decided to log it off, use the money to remodel and it is a work in progress. Our little homestead and I ‘m the queen of my triple wide trailer!
Let me add, there is no redwood deck (some of you will get the reference) and the house is gross inside- roof is shot and what is up with the random 1/2 round windows? But the price is right and I’m sure we will have lots of free time to turn this into a productive homestead…….yup, I was deluding myself. Free time and I haven’t made an acquaintance yet!
