Sorry you have to rewire, but I do love that it is that old. Do you know when it was built?

1932

I've been working on getting permits for everything since March. The damn county is putting up all kinds of roadblocks and taking their sweet time.

When I finally get the building permit (hopefully this week) I've got contractors on hold to come in and build a grade beam on pile foundation (3' crawl space). They are also going to build up my drive (currently a hay field) so that the movers can come back, load it onto the truck again, get it up a hill & slide it onto the foundation.

ETA: once the foundation is in, it needs 2 weeks to cure before the house can go on it.

Good for you! How exciting. We lived in a movable house (no idea what they’re called) for a while that was put on a foundation. Very cute and cozy. You couldn’t even tell it was a manufactured home, in fact we didn’t realize until much later after moving in lol.
And yea, 3’ was a good choice!

Can’t remember if I already said happy birthday or not. If not, happy birthday!

Did that on River Road outside of Baton Rouge in a triumph spitfire going 90 through the curves when I came face to face with a full grown bull. Talk about slam on the brakes. (It wasn't funny at the time )

Very small sports car for you youngsters!!!

I use to have an MGB, I know exactly what you mean...almost ran into a black Angus bull, one moon-less night. Oh !!!! (Use whatever explicative here).

Oh how wonderful, hope you really enjoy it. I love older houses, especially cottages. Our's is from 1940, but had been renovated and added on to like 4 times before we bought it. It's still a great fun house.

This is an actual house, not a mobile. Excellent, true sized fir framing.

We are going to put an addition on to house utilities and give us a dining area.

What’s the difference between a manufactured home vs. mobile home vs. real home that is being moved around? I don’t know anything about houses lol.

A manufactured home is built somewhere else and moved on to your land.
A trailer is a trailer.
A house that gets moved is probably originally built in place but then moved?


I'm not quite sure.
