That will be handy!You forgot that I work for an equipment rental company![]()
It's actually cheaper for me to rent from a competitor.That will be handy!
It has here as well. There's a 4 acre lot that's in a bean field that they are trying to get $85k for. Lands flat and cleared. But also turns into a mud pit for 6 months put of the year.It's good to get what you can, when you can!
Property up here has sky rocketed since 2019.
My place has gained 2361% from when we bought it 12 years ago.
That's the issue with an RV. It's all fun and games till someone has to poopWe are building a barndiminium right now. We live in our fifth wheel rv at the moment. We owned our place for about 7 years now & have a 24/36 shop & a 30/40. They are both full of furniture etc & I had to plumb a washer & dryer into the 24/36.
House is 30x64 with a 10 ft porch along the back with 22/24 carport off the corner. Framed with 4/4 steel tube on the uprights with 4 in c purlins tying 4/4 together. The uprights support 12in Ibeams with 8 in purlins. We also have 12 inchs of over hang on all the roof edges so it doesn't have the shop look. Rock wainscot across front. . 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, roll in showers in both full baths, all doors 36 wide so my Wife's mobility scooter has no problems. Interior conventional wood frameing.
I contracted the steel shell , plumbing,& concrete with folks I've had shop buildings done by in the past. I'm doing the AC, electrical, & maybe paint. Cabinets by a local 1 man shop that's about a mile down the road. My sheetrocker & tape/texture guys I've used before. The tile guy that will do the showers & lay flooring I've not used but have seen his work.
Living in the RV is way different than traveling in our rv. You got to really like being with your spouse. The big deal for us is our old house had 3 full baths & you get real used to not haveing to share one..
Yes, we are over budget but will make it with out any financing
Hopefully your property taxes do not raise at the same rate! Maybe you are lucky and don't have property taxes where you are? Or maybe they are not based on market value, which is good too.It's good to get what you can, when you can!

Oh yea sadly they shot up too!Hopefully your property taxes do not raise at the same rate! Maybe you are lucky and don't have property taxes where you are? Or maybe they are not based on market value, which is good too.
No big deal.we've had one kind or another rv since 1979 . It's just a routine you do. Every Tuesday it's dump & while that's going on roll the trash can down to the road for trash dayThat's the issue with an RV. It's all fun and games till someone has to poop![]()
Yes sir. We had already discussed that. The double wides what we are looking at have a walk in shower for the master bathroom as well as doors wide enough for a wheel chair.However you end up going with your project, evaluate every aspect for your future needs as you get older and your mobility becomes less. Make sure you enjoy it now but also can still enjoy it and maintain it as you get older.
I knew a man with at least 3 kids who built his gambrel garage so the kids would have bedrooms upstairs planning to build a house at a later time. Around 40 years later that garage is still a house and probably always will be. The moral of the story is to be sure you can live with what might be a garage if things do not work out as planned.Im in
Yep, that's one way. I knew a guy in Texas that lived in the two bedroom garage he built, then built their three bedroom house.
That sounds like me 30 years ago, then 25 years ago, then 20 years ago etc...2017 I had opportunity to buy a 1500' stick built house on a crawlspace, on 2 1/4 acres, in the hills but on a highway, $69,000. I didn't have the funds. I do now but that same house is now $150,000, and I don't have those funds.
I want it so bad I can taste it but that's (1) stupidly priced and (2) stupidly out of my budget even if I sold ALL of everything I owned, cashed in my retirement, and used 100% of my savings, it wouldn't touch 1/3 of it. I'm heartbroken about it because that's the one place I wanted so badly I could taste it.

There was one house I wanted where the owner died of old age. The heirs were fighting so badly among each other that for years and years the property just deteriorated. No one would agree to do anything with the property (except pay taxxes). 2 heirs (if not more) kept waiting for the other heir(s) to die. The house is now complete junk. The shed fell in as did the barn. I checked in to see if that house would be up for sale for several years then gave up. You cannot always win in these situations.
I know the feeling. If I am $20k short of buying a house. I could save up $20k then I would still be short $30k. If I could save that $30k I would still end up $40k short.
The good news is house prices will be dropping. Those with cash will get better prices. As interest rates rise property prices must fall. Mortgage interest rates are going to rise. Economic growth will be reversed to eliminate inflation which will destroy jobs and incomes. Those who prepared financially will be able to buy better than they can now. I doubt 5 years will pass before house prices drop by 25% or more due to higher interest rates and or an economic recession or a depression.
We got one acre cleared. The rest is mature oak forest.That is a beautiful chunk of trees!
