42
four grown kids that DONT live at home.
(those are the best kinda kids)
no boozin or drugs
i like her.
My dad once told me, "son, if you run into a woman who picks you out of all the millions of men in the world, she has to be a little bit crazy. And crazy people should be treated gently...."
Speaking of mobile homes... I used to be a contractor but I dont know jack about mobiles I was thinking about buying one so I could move it onto property later. Anyone here have any experience about how long do they hold up with routine maint?
The one I had was made in the fifties, it is still being used on a lake lot. Like anything else I suppose with maintenance it will last. Different manufactures probably made better products than others... I havent had that trailer in over 16 years so I'm probably not the person to ask, but I do know it is still on a lot and being used on weekends.

My parents' neighbor is was living in a single wide buit in the 60's until just a couple months ago.

My wife and I own a singlewide rental built in the sixties; it's still quite liveable. And the ones they build now are miles above the old ones. Stronger floors and walls, better roofs, better plumbing and insulation....you name it.
congrats billy . I just passed the one year mark on my first house ( thanks VA!)still wake up and can't belive it! At 45 I thought I'd never have my own place, always hang onto your dreams.

there used to be one of those great big hide-a-beds in my new living room.
it was too heavy for me to do anything with.
i just took it apart with a sledge hammer and threw it outside.
they aint too heavy if you move em in three trips!

Sorta depends if you live in a tornado zone or not.
Otherwise they could last a lifetime or until you fill it up with "stuff" and need sumpin bigger. Man, that triple wide has alotta room!
