Whose email I don't have or can't find right now.
Some of you know a little about our new home.
I call it a trailer; but the term is manufactured home now.
The big hold up has been financing. And as we came to learn, lack of people who can or were willing to do the job. The finance hold up was on the dealer's side.
After looking at many dealers we decided on Titan Homes.
Why not a real house? Cost. More than double a manufactured home.
There are pros and cons; but we feel that this is where the Lord lead us.
After a few months of nothing happening, we learned the manager of the local Titan dealer had torn his rotator cuff, and had surgery.
Then we learned the dealership had lost the lease to the property because they weren't willing to pay a million and a half dollars for the property.
Then the manager who had taken over our sale contracted covid. Praise God he recovered quickly.
However the dealership has to have all the trailers off the property by the end of the month or some sort of lein type could be placed on them.
So our home was sort of delivered today, to protect it from some sort of civil action possibility.
The ground is so wet right now they had to use a caterpillar type tracked vehicle to get the two sections in.
More rain is expected this weekend. Don't know when the dirt pad will be able to be done because of how wet it is.
But we are one step closer. :-))
You all be safe and God bless.
Progress indeed Linda! Possession matters. Very grateful for this.
ReplyDeleteThank you, TB. I know I am getting excited. We will all be happy, I think.
DeleteOnce it is on the pad, then we need to get all the utilities done. :)
Are you kidding?
ReplyDeleteThose things are AWESOME. In fact, I’d sell my house in the city for one of those out in the country in a heartbeat.
Haha. Thank you, Glen. I wish we were more in the country. Some of the farmland has been sold down the road from us. A guess is apartments for the University students across the highway from there.
DeleteHubby and I lived in a very small trailer for about three years of our first Air Force assignment after we got married.
We've lived in a manufactured home for over 20 years. What worries me about your situation is, if I'm not mistaken, the dealer is responsible for the set up. It might be different now. Our mf was already set up and 6 months old when we purchased it. It was a repo and much of the finish work was not done. Not sure if that was the owners fault or the dealer.
ReplyDeleteIn any event - I'm glad it was delivered and everything else can be dealt with in due time.
P.S. I love manufactured homes. IMO they're usually designed better than most stick built homes.
Adrienne, there are things that they are supposed to do. According to the original contract they are supposed to put it on a dirt pad, anchor it, connect the water and the electric also, I think.
DeleteThere might be something more; but I need to look at it again.
And we got a call of more paperwork to sign, so we will know more tomorrow.
Having faith that this is God's plan for us. It's funny because the apartment He found for us to rent is just a little smaller than our new home.
So now we need to look at a new shed among other things. :)
What a crazy ride! I wonder sometimes why God puts us on roller coasters when we get dizzy just trying to stay in step!
ReplyDeleteHe does enjoy watching us dance, I think. :)
DeleteWe signed the paperwork for the mortgage company today, so one more step closer. :)
Keep us updated, Linda
