Well a neighbor of ours has to sell their
trailer ASAP, and he has remodeled the
entire inside and I know he keeps it up
well....even his yard is perfect. I have
never talked to him, but I plan on going
there either tomorrow or the next day to
see about this.
I don't know if I should try and sell our
trailer and buy this one, or just stay
put. There are lots of pros and cons to
each. Our trailer fits us pretty much
perfectly and it's pretty nice. The
storage space is awesome. I also LOVE our
shed. It was custom built and there is a
little workshop in there and we have it
arranged just how we like it.
However....we still owe the bank for our
trailer and by buying the other trailer,
we could pay it off in like a month. This
guy has throat cancer and he just wants to
sell his trailer, so the price is more
than right. I love the location of our
trailer, because we have nobody on our
left, and a single guy who sometimes has
his 3 y/o daughter there....he's kinda
weird, like stalkerish weird almost. He'd
still be near by, but our yards wouldn't
join. Also here we have train tracks
behind us. I grew up next to them, so they
don't really bother me....but it still
sort of bothers me to think if Adriana
somehow wandered out there some day, she
LOVES to watch the trains. The other
place has a trailer next door, but nobody
lives there, and on the other side there
is a middle aged couple who also keep
their yard up. They are pretty nice. Also
our yard has a HUGE walnut tree in our
yard and makes it a pain in the butt to
mow and rake. The other place has a nice
shaded yard too, but it's not a walnut
tree. We have a good sized deck, and the
other place does too, but I don't know how
big it is, and it's not covered. Neither
is ours...but we were just looking into
awnings. I guess we could still put on
over the other deck.
I know the other place is a 2 bedroom, 1
bathroom....just like ours. But our
bathroom is really big, and we have a
laundry room just off the bathroom.
Another thing is I have a huge kitchen,
and I love it because our table fits
nicely in there, and we have a big counter
that separates our living room from the
kitchen, and we've got bar stools that we
use when we have extra extra company, or
when nieces and nephews visit.
I know we won't decide (tho it will
ultimately be up to me, cuz DH is just a
butt like that, he just goes with the
flow)
The main reason we would be doing this is
to get rid of the monthly trailer payment.
At this point we're ready to cancel
phone/internet and probably cable because
we have to save money because in about a
year from now we'll have to live on 1
income for awhile.
Suggestions? What would you do?

the other place doesn't sound too bad
really. It might not have everything your
use to or like that your house has but
your also keeping Adriana's safety in mind
and that weirdo next door wouldn't be cool
with me. His place doesn't sound too
different and getting rid of monthly
payments is a huge plus! Especially when
you will be living off of one income later
on. If you don't mind me asking why is
that?Could it be because of a Jr. coming
along?

I would go look round it, see how big the
rooms are especially the kitchen as you
want a table in there, and see if theres a
laundry room. Having that stalker guy next
door would make me want to move in this
new place. You said a nice couple live one
side of it which is good incase you need
someone in an emergency or something, the
one on the other side may be empty right
now but you never know what kind of
people/person you will get when someone
eventually moves in - cant be much worse
than that weird guy though!
I never knew trailer homes were so big

The weird stalker guy would push me more
into getting the other place & it
doesn't sound too much different than
where you are now. The monthly payment
being gone is a huge plus, I know how hard
it can be with bills & one income
& monthly payments are so not fun.. I
guess I'd just really look at the other
place to see if it would be something
you'd definately want.

Yeah. We're asking around for people to
buy our place. This guy doesn't even have
a for sale sign up, so I'd feel weird
going up and asking if I can take a look
LOL
We've been here nearly 3 years now and
just this summer is the first I've ever
talked to the stalker neighbor guy. We had
a rummage sale, and him and his daughter
came over and I don't recall him telling
me his name and then he said something
about "oh I saw your brother here the
other day" and I was like what?! how does
this guy know who my brother is? Well they
went to school together and I guess they
chatted once when my bro was here. But
his daughter just ran all over taking
everything off our tables and he just
stood there. And that's all he does when
he comes over is stand and say something
every so often. It creeps me out. Then one
night my aunt was visiting, and we had the
dogs out running in our yard and he came
home, and came over right away with his
daughter, and she was tormenting our poor
dogs. He didn't do anything either.
There's just something about him that's
weird.

Eeeeeeek!
I like having no trailer on the other side
of us (there is one, but it's pretty far
away and my hubby knows them anyways) and
so we tend to hang out over there the
most, or behind the trailer...especially
if we have her pool out. Sometimes if I
have the dogs out and I see him pull into
his driveway I scoop everyone up and run
inside
