Buying a home w/ a little acreage PICS ADDED

[SIZE="4"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]The wife and I will be signing the contract for the place by the 30th. It's an older mobile home sitting on 3/4 acre, but it has a heated oversized 2 car garage AND :burnout: a heated 30'X40' shop. I can't wait till we get all the paperwork done and get moved in. I'll post pics after I get some good ones. [/FONT][/SIZE]

Sounds good. And if you would decide to build a house or get a modular you have a place to stay until it's done.

That's our thoughts too. The regular garage will be doing double duty, we plan on using it to do our entertaining in as well as "just" parking the DDs in. We are planning on putting a wet bar and a movie projector out there  :evilgrin:  as well as a bathroom.

And Thanks thewestie and shadow.

The place needs a little TLC but it'll work.

Priorities = 100% straight. Think about it. A car is what 10 times bigger than a person in volume? Maybe 5 to be nice? Either way, a lot bigger than a person. Average house is probably 20 times as much volume as a person! The person gets all of that extra space, the car is stuck with what 2 or 3 times it's volume to inhabit! That would be like living in a half-bathroom and only that! It made sense to me while I was on the toilet...:hick:

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
