Re: Converting a Single Wide Classroom into a Home

It is for the home only. We plan to move it to a park to pay off the small loan we would have to get and then find land to put it on. We have been able to find a few homes already in a park but they are above 20k. We are still continuing to search though.

Re: Converting a Single Wide Classroom into a Home

Greg we would be doing all the work ourselves. That is what I was figuring it would cost. The cost of the classroom is about $10,000 also. We are still looking and hoping to find something that will work for us. :wink:

Re: Converting a Single Wide Classroom into a Home

We have looked and are continuing to look but the we haven't been able to find anything but a 12'x56' and that is just too small for our family. We are thinking about this long and hard before we make a decision because we want to stay within a certain budget...we want to be debt free within 5 years...

Re: Converting a Single Wide Classroom into a Home

That is what we are trying to decide. The classroom has two rooms and a bathroom with a sink and toliet. It also has a sink in the open classroom part. It has no washer and dryer hookups. The price of the trailer is a little more than what we want to pay, however it does have the AC vents in the cei...

Converting a Single Wide Classroom into a Home

We have found a 14x80 classroom trailer for sale that is in excellent shape but it needs to be converted into a home. Is this a crazy idea or can it actually be done??

RE: curtain rod on mobile home door

I would suggest using one of those rods that are magnetic. If it will stick to your door that is. My mother has one and it works great! Just a suggestion. I believe that you can get them at any Walmart. Hope this helps!

RE: Kitchen Lighting

RE: Kitchen Lighting

The only problem with changing the ceiling fan light fixture is the ceiling fan doesn't sit directly over our table and our kitchen table sits in a corner so the corner is still dark. We need some sort of lighting that will brighten up this corner.

RE: Kitchen Lighting

We also have those! :lol: They are awesome and they do help you with a task that you are doing on the countertop! We are trying to find the right color and then we are going to give it a shot! My husband is also going to install a dimmer and that should help with the heat and also the electric bill!

We have one in our living room. It is a three light track light but it isn't bendable or anything like that. The one that i am looking at is going to be 4 lights. Two spotlights and I would like to get two pendants to go over the table. I think I am going to go for it. We are in the kitchen a lot! W...

Our kitchen is about 18'long so we are able to have a table in there. The lighting isn't enough! I don't want to lose the ceiling fan because wh...

I know that we will be putting on in our bathroom but that is another forum and I will ask my questions on there. Thanks so much you don't know how helpful yo...

Well the fireplace we have is actually a wood burning one. Do we still need to do the same thing? I know there will be a hole in the ceiling because of the flue? ( I think that is spelled wrong but you get the drift)
