I use the library internet all the time as it is faster than a land line and usually no waiting. Also get my dvds and books there. A library card is cheap and...
Hi folks, fall is in the air and winter just around the corner so maybe now is a good time to do some winterizing around our homesteads before it gets too...
After looking at the hardware stores for something to block drafts, I finally just cut some two inch wide strips of cardboard and stapled them to the edge of...
It's interesting how others handled this historically. One way was to hang a very heavy curtain in-front of the door. Making sure when hanging the rod to...
Sounds fancier than my solution. I got a big piece of heavy plastic and completely covered the door and frame . tacked it down on the top. Since my back door...
We got back from a rather cold weekend spent in a camper without heat up at our place in Maine. We had propane for the heater, but no electric for the...
Straw bales are good idea. They use them extensively in the Dakotas to insulate around the bottom of mobiles. Just be aware that they'll draw mice. You do...
I was once told to edge the trailer we were in to keep the cold air from getting in underneath the floors. Like a skirt, without putting any underneath...
Ilsa, We live in a 28 x 80. For the doors I found the foam insulation to place around them. The windows I handled differently. Basically I made quilts with...
Magnetic strips work fine if quilt is not too heavy. Push pins work great if frame is wood. LaMar ... air from getting in underneath the floors. Like a skirt,...
Bales of hay may be hard to find because it was a bad summer for hay- but my father told us they always loved the first snow because they'd go out and shovel...
Heh, I don't think we have much to worry about in the way of looks. Our camper is out in the sticks of a small rural town. We don't have much out there,...
The skirts of the trailer we're renting are insulated, but what really keeps the cold out during the winter is when the snows come and cover the skirt. S...
I packed the fallen leaves around the foundation of the house I was renting the last winter I was there. It really helped cut down the drafts. My current...
True. I lived in a 1950's single wide(LOVED the wood interior!) when I went to college. The Winters in Utah can get nasty but with good Insulation even a wood...
My husband and I have been getting ready to buy our first home, but we really don't want to buy a house in town. We will get practically nothing for land...
I recommend finding a local and well established loan officer in your area. Talk to them about your situation, and they should be able to give you answers. It...
To get a loan that included land and building a house, you'd have to get or be a licensed contractor to do the building. You're other option is buying the land...
Additionally, if you are planning on putting a manufactured home on it, you probably wouldn't have too much problem getting that loan as long as you had the...
Hail All, Well, but even with a Modular/manufactured Home, IF you are starting with bare land, there needs to be a well drilled, septic system put in and...
Hi Jess, There are many ways to go about this, and a lot of it depends on a few things. How handy are you and your husband? How much of the work can you...
Jezz, There are several ways to go about it. We went out and found the land and the mobile separate. We found the contractors to dig septic, etc. We didn't...
Thank you for the link, Cat. I haven't seen that one before. We would prefer to buy in the same area we are in right now, which is southeastern Washington....
Greetings, all! I'm new to this list, and have to say all the practical discussions are really great. Love it! The recent thread on getting ready for winter...
Thanks for posting this. I'm gratified to see they evolved the books into a museum and hands on classes -- awesome! Ever see the movie with Jessica Tandy,...
