Oh, We're Movin' On Up

We did something yesterday that I thought I would never do. We agreed to buy a mobile home. It just so happens that the mobile home is situated on 3 acres not half a mile from grandma and grandpa's house up by Tallula. So, the mobile home wasn't really the target, just part of the deal. Here's the property...
The red box is our ground. The legal description says it's about 813' x 164'. The broken blue line is a creek running through it. This is a closeup of the front part...
The trailer is 16' x 73' and is in very good condition. In fact, we plan on selling our house within the next 6 months and living in the trailer for a year or 2 before building a house. We're planning on putting the house right about where the small barn sits now. The larger shed is in pretty good shape, but it isn't the prettiest. It does have a lot of space, a concrete floor, and even an auto maintenance pit in the floor too. We took some pics while we were there looking the place over.

That trailer's not too shabby at all! Much better than I pictured, as is the big shed.

So maybe about an acre would require mowing? Very doable, especially once your little serfs are big enough.

I was surprised too @ the inside of the trailer. The outside doesn't really give you the impression of how nice the inside is. Granted it's small!!!.... but, we have storage in the garage!
To tell you the truth I'm actually excited about living in the trailer b/c I know it means we're closer to building our new house! Yay!
