I used to work at the one here in my town! Fun job (except for cleaning out the old fridges that came in. Yuck). It's good to go to ours every week or two. The merch. is constantly changing, and if you notice something has been there for awhile, they'll probably reduce the price. I'm sitting on a co...

I hear ya, Greg, and I didn't mean to come of defensive. I actually agree with you. We're working on becoming as self sufficient as possible, heating our home with wood we cut ourselves, growing own own fruits and veggies. I don't understand how people can handle being as dependent as many are (not ...

Greg, I bought a foreign-made car because I've ended up hating every American-made car I've owned. It could have very well been a coincidence that the American cars I've had have been money pits, but I'd be an idiot not to let past experience influence my purchase. I like to keep cars for a long tim...

I just got a Honda Fit a few weeks ago and I looove it. On the highway I can get 40 mph, and driving in town I get 34. We've always had Subarus, but we decided to get a 2WD for trips and everyday driving when there isn't snow on the road. So now we have The Fit and our '97 Outback station wagon. Thi...

No, I don't mean West by god Virginia! I mean Almost Heaven! Don't make me start singing Country Roads : ) We've swung back to the Skylines anyways after getting jerked around by the Colony dealer. Also, the Colony had short exterior doors and my husband kept scraping his head! A little thing that w...

Roof Loads
So we're looking at different models and brands, basically just having a good time till spring, when we hope to actually sign on a smallish double wide. Like I've said here before, we're looking mostly at Colony's and Skyline's right now. The Colonys are cheaper and we like their floorplans better, ...

Woodstove Fresh Air Intake
We're looking at buying a new mobile home in the spring to put out on our property. We heat exclusively with wood now, and would like to continue to do that in the MH. I've seen that for MH-approved wood stoves to meet code, a fresh air intake must be installed. I understand that, you want to burn o...

Thinking about Buying our First MH
So this is my first time posting here, though I've been skulking around for a few weeks. My husband an I have a few acres of land and are thinking of buying a small DW MH in the Spring. We've been to all of the MH dealers in our area (more than once), and walked through tons! The brands available in...
