[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 528185, member: 1514"] Pam the reason I am suggesting a single wide to you now is that I am so regretting the fact that I have this danged huge thing now. I have a tad over 2000 sq feet of house when in reality we could get by with 2 bedrooms. One for us and one for Billy. I really dont want an extra bedroom for company...lmao. Means no one can move in with us. The grands can camp out in the living room. Actually most single wides come with 3 bedrooms anyway these days and are approximately 14 x 80. Well...that is really 14 x 76 of living space because you have to remove the 4 feet of tongue. The rooms are quite nice if you get a good one built in the last 10 years or so. You should be able to get one for no more than 10K. Honestly. If you arent thrilled with the kitchen cabinets, Lowes or Home depot sells some prefab ones you can put up for relatively cheap. Or even easier is to refinish them if the bones are good. Just change out the counter top. You can make a mobile home look really nice for so much less than you can buy a house. In your neck of the woods, I would look for one with a fireplace. I have a fireplace and I love it. You can retrofit it to use gas instead of wood and that is what I would do in WI. It would really help out with the heating bills in the winter. [/QUOTE]
