It's a house!

Webshots Community - House

Yes, it's a house. Hopefully it will soon be MY house. It's a modular, not to be confused with a double wide. Double wides are built to HUD codes and are on steel frames. Modular houses are built to local building codes and are on permanent foundations. Modulars are considered to be equvilant to stick or site built homes and appreciate just like any other house. From the research I've done modulars are often considered to be better built than site built houses for a variety of reasons. If you're that interested go here to find out more. Anyway, it's a Redman home and here's the floor plan (the one on the bottom right, M3036 The Grandview).

I plan to trade in my trailer for that modular. Today I completed the credit application. The other night I checked my credit and it's...there. what? You think I'm going to publish my credit rating on a public forum?! I'll just say that it's not hopeless but there's always room for improvement. I know my credit rating & score, I know my personal limits and no, dad, I won't let myself become house poor. For those who don't know...my dad is sitting on a cloud and shouts his words of wisdom down to me at times like this.

Check back from time to time for house updates. Oh, and if this all works out I'll be moving in the dead of winter. How dumb is that?!? Like anyone is going to want to help us move in subzero weather!!! And if it's not that cold then it will be muddy and slushy and yucky and wet...no no no - not in the new house!!! But if it's freezing out someone could fall on the ice. What am I thinking, doing this now??? Let me tell you what I'm thinking...there's too many people who want out of Woods Edge and only one lot priced as low as the one I want. And if I don't do it now then when? I hate moving in the summer heat anyway...

We've been sick all week. I'm feeling a little better. E claims she isn't but I'm kicking her butt back into school tomorrow morning anyway. She survived an afternoon trip to look at the house, get her hair cut and eat a light dinner out. Wish I'd picked up more rootbeer while we were out though *sigh*

I want to say thank you to all the friends who offered to go to the store or do anything else I needed while I was so sick. And a special thank you to the friend I took up on that offer. Thanks everyone!!!
