A mobile home doesn’t really mean mobile always. In this case, just moved from one area to another. A trailer home. Wasn’t bad either, 16x60, insulation sucked though. I had industrial laminate from an old shoe store, copper pipes, landlord let me keep a 20x20 yard and 400x20 garden, for $100/month (8 yrs ago). Paid $3k to buy it preowned, 2k to move, and about $500 in cleaning and repairs (floor and various things were free sourced mostly), sold it after 6 years for $3k with no cost to move it again.

Always a problem with mobile homes.

Very similar story to my last one. I get nostalgic sometimes - a converted UPS van painted red, wood paneling & wood furniture on the inside, a wood burner, solar panels on the roof…

Worst part was after we stripped the carpet and bleached the shit out of it (dog urine). Saw a tiny bug scirry across the floor. Little did I know it wasthe beginning of a war against german cockroaches. It ended with gel bait on every wall, and 10 fog bombs (for my home size it whould have been 5) to nuke the bastards into oblivion. 4 damn months with those fuckers.

And yeah, it was a HDD on its side. No issues really.
