That thing appears to be stretching the bounds of 'mobile' Randy.

Granddaughter's first home. She's pretty tickled.

How's come the skirting isn't painted yet? Dallas going to be swinging them slurs before long.

Well you're still making a shadow, least the top half of ya anyways...

Ain't painting a damn thing. I screwed it together, someone else can paint.

I'm thinking the front steps might need to be just a tad closer to the door to meet code...

Just saying

Gonna put covered porches front and back. Just a small one on the back....pretty good sized one on the front.

Better than what Glenda and I lived in while we built our house.

Donna and I lived in 3 different apartments for our first 2 1/2 years and when we could we bought a doublewide set down on a poured foundation with poured walkways around it

It's what we could afford to buy in our 20s and we were happy there

So double-wide is what, 16 ft wide? How you get it there in the first place? Permit carrying semi?
This one is 25' wide.
Built in two 12'-6" wide pieces.
They pull them out to the site, then back them in as close as they can, then pull them together and fasten.
Think this one is 25' x 52'.
That was before additions.
We are close to 1,800 square feet under roof now.

Generally a double wide is 24-32 foot wide when both 1/2s are assembled on site. They are pulled there in each seperate 1/2 buy a truck.
Ta, I just had a Google. Didn't realise they weren't just caravans (RV trailer?) that were parked up but rather specific factory built relocatable, and as you say sometimes joined together on site.
Seems a good way to put roofs over folks heads.

Nothing special about it. Just some used corrugated metal I took off of a barn. It will help keep the water lines from freezing through.
Probably still ought to put some pipe insulation on there.
I remember my grandparents had an old clapboard house, and used newspapers tied on with baling twine for pipe insulation. Had to redo pretty often, as humidity and rodents kept messing it up. He used old roofing metal for underpinning too.:D

Might want to plant another shade tree or two.
From experience, those things get HOT in the summer. Hard to cool. Not the most energy efficient housing out there. Even this one takes more to heat and cool, and ive added insulation everywhere but the attic(because it doesnt technically have one).:(
