Thank you! Yes, I’m pretty sure that they are all coming from the Tiny House Blog! Thanks!!!

You know, it puzzles me as well. We have at least a dozen old mobies in the park that are selling straight out for $100 to $250 CASH. That’s it. And by law, they have to have a furnance that checks out, no leaks, etc. Works. And they top coat the roof with sealer, so that should get you a good year or two at LEAST…. AND the park makes sure that they are are relatively sound, because they don’t want to sell you something with a leave for the park rent that is just total garbage.

Now do they need work? Oh yeah. But we’re just talking a shell here. Once you gut them (just labor and some basic hand tools) you can then lay down a new subfloor, Kilz paint all the walls, then paint. Plumbing is really pretty easy on a moby, it’s all exposed for the most part and you can do it yourself with a friend. We did and I knew NOTHING about plumbing before. Had a couple friends that helped to point out the basics, etc. Once you get floors, walls, roof and water, electricity, you can start camping in them very comfortably and take a room at a time. Took us about 6 months to get it really very livable and within a year it was wonderfully comfy.

It cost me a couple grand to get to the 6 month stage, and it was easy, because it was a little at a time. Water heater was the most expensive single item and that was only about $400 total (parts and such) Everything else was a couple gallons of this or some wood for that, etc.

I don’t see why churches or even Habitat for Humanity doesn’t consider these mobies for homeless families and such. The lot rent is very reasonable, usually under $300-$400 dollars a month. Even a family on assistance should be able to make that. Oh my…. I just don’t understand our thoughts sometimes. Sigh. But I’m trying to help educate the world! HAHAHA…. If I can do it, you can too!

Thanks for dropping by!!!!
