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

What fun, you will have to keep us posted on how things are going, I am truly interested. It will not be easy to do the renovations, but will be worth it in the end. I am so excited for you.

175 pages later and I'm caught up... only to leave again and fall behind another (likely) 200 pages.

What I've gleaned from those 175 pages:

1. @Tesumph looks like Emma Watson with her pixie hair.
2. @KikisGirls cleans her dog's water bowl on a daily basis. AND her chicken waterer, also daily. She is completely insane.
3. @Cyprus is having some caretaker issues and straight bad luck with some new hatchlings.
4. Tessie lost a rooster to a snake (great necropsy pics, btw). I learned not only what a snake attack looks like but also how rooster testes appear. I'm glad it was the EE you couldn't stand and not one of the favorites.
4. @littleprairieheartsfarm had some doggie issues. Hope your pup is on the mend.
5. @Pugsabi has the most terrifying napping companion I have ever seen.

I returned home to a missing rooster and a greenhouse full of nearly wilted plants as well as some very hungry pheasants (they were completely out of food). I give mom a fail for watering though I was able to revive the plants and they will be fine.
RIP Marilyn Manson. You were a good roo - you will be missed.

ETA: @The Farmers' Daughter literally got a house delivered!!! It's so cute! I love old farm houses - congrats!

CONAN!!!
We missed you!
Hurry back.

Sorry for your losses.

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.

It was a real house, just built in another location, then the house was purchased, but not the land, the house then had to be moved to a location that the new house owner owned. This happens fairly regularly in my part of the country.

Thanks for the birthday wishes. So far it's been a wonderfully lazy day. I even got to sleep in!

Happy birthday!!!

 

[Tesumph]

Well yea but.. manufactured homes ARE real houses lol. I know they can differ in quality but I’m not talking about a motorhome or something on wheels.
These types of manufactured homes.. or “houses that are moved?”... are what we’re talking about, right?

Oh my...I got teary eyed! How neat is this!
Were you and your friend just standing on the side of the road?
I LOVE the corner window!

I was thinking about you this morning, wondering where you disappeared to. You vacationing fiend! I agree, Kiki is insane and Sabi’s gremlin gives me nightmares.
Sorry about your rooster and plants. I hate leaving my stuff in other people’s care, something always goes wrong huh?

Happy Birthday!! How does the house placement work? Is there a foundation to build/lay? Railroad ties? I'm so curious about this...

Me too! I think this is the neatest thing.

In our neck of the woods, often people buy older cottages and have them moved to a different location. They are not manufactured or trailers, just great old (often 100 year old or older homes). We have an old plantation home that was moved decades ago about 1 mile from where we live, in a much ritzier section of town.

That is a super cute window. Would make an awesome little reading nook.

Ah.. so, these houses weren’t built with the intention of being moved then? How do they put them on a trailer?
That’s so interesting, I’ve never even heard of this!
