I mean, things are going well with our general acquisitiveness.
We now have in hand a signed contract for the 5 acres across the road from what will be our permanent spot.
We also made an offer on a repossessed trailer earlier today (what's the only thing worse than a possessed trailer? a reposessed one hahahaha). Verbally that offer was agreed to over the phone, and the trailer is not available for viewing online anymore - so it sounds like we have it - but there is a catch. Carroll County has an ordinance (or law or something - a rule in any case) that you can only move trailers into the county if they are less than 7 years old. The trailer we have an offer in on is a 1995. So what we can do is bury it underground so that nobody knows about it (maybe another evil laugh here?). Not really (of course) we can submit pictures of it and the surrounding homes (all shabbier looking trailers - fortunately?) to a Compatibility committee and if they tell us it is okay then we can move it in.
The trailer we have gotten is a 28x60 (1680 sq ft) 3 bed, 2 bath pleasure palace. Unfortunately the only photos I have currently are of the outside, and of some of the trouble spots (we had good pictures of the inside online, but as previously noted it is no longer listed online). So I will post a couple of photos - the front door, and maybe one of the kitchen - but remember the interior shot here is intentionally not it's best side.
So, from top to bottom.
- The outside - which looks quite nice (as trailers go).
- Under the kitchen sink - which has a leak in one of the drains, but the damage seems to be minimal, and leak seems reparable.
- The bath tub in the master bath (which is a bit large for my tastes, but what can you do).
I only put the kitchen one in there, because it gives some of the feel of the kitchen, which was one of the big draws about this trailer. It has a nice large kitchen with plenty of cabinet space, and counter space. It is a little bit odd to me that the sink is on an island in the middle, but even that novelty - for the time being seems cool. Sorry I don't have better interior pictures, but the ones online were fine - and I didn't know they would vanish so soon.
Hope you're all well,
Jeff

yeah, that looks a LOT better than I was anticipating. Looks nice! I am with you though - I tend to think stove top on island, if you have one, not sink. what an odd idea.
Thanks for the update! Things really seem to be moving along. Congratulations! Oh, yeah, I vote for putting the trailer underground. You would save a lot on energy bills.
Love,

Oh, yeah, I think an island sink would be good, especially if it were in Jamaica, Puerto Rica, Grand Cayman, or somewhere warm. (The cold is getting to me about now.) However, I guess the rest of the place would have to be "island" also, or the kitchen would be mighty, mighty big & the sink would be a long commute.

Way to go! And how spacious. Our first house was only 1250 sq ft. We may not even need our tent when we come to visit.
