Title: Re: Woo hoo my future home has arrived! Post by Art Webb on 05/06/16 at 08:18:30 I have a friend who has absolutely no use for the gym, but he does hard manual labor a lot, and has all his life He is far stronger than me (based on having worked side by side with him on a recent project) |

Title: Re: Woo hoo my future home has arrived! Post by KennyG on 05/06/16 at 20:27:13 Art, Congratulations. It looks like you done good, you now have a permanent home. How do you anchor it so the wind doesn't upset it? When I lived in Pennsylvania I used mobile home anchors that were like augers that screwed in the ground and had straps that went up over the roof to hold a shed in place. We didn't have near the velocity of wind that we have here in North Texas. Kenny G |

Title: Re: Woo hoo my future home has arrived! Post by Art Webb on 05/07/16 at 07:55:31 Thanks Guys Kenny, it came with built in straps for that, going to buy some of those anchors at the builder's supply, the building dealer offered them but at too high a price honestly not too worried about it, my trailer doesn't weight much more, and it's pretty solid in the wind, but still gonna anchor it to be on the safe side |

Title: Re: Woo hoo my future home has arrived! Post by KennyG on 05/07/16 at 08:43:41 Art, When it comes to Texas wind it is always better to play it safe, Kenny G |

Title: Re: Woo hoo my future home has arrived! Post by Art Webb on 05/10/16 at 06:39:34 Thanks MM done some measuring, I'm gonna need more wire gotta get anchored first though, soon as funds allow |

Title: Re: Woo hoo my future home has arrived! Post by youzguyz on 05/10/16 at 12:31:18 Vera nice little house you got there!!! It looks bigger than a mini-cabin.. at least.. and doesn't come with hot and cold running .. farts.. snores.. etc... ::) Congrats!!! |
|
Title: Re: Woo hoo my future home has arrived! Post by Art Webb on 05/10/16 at 18:29:41 actually smaller, the mini cabin was, I believe, 12x18, vs 10x16 figuring out the best layout will be tricky doesn't help I didn't plan it through before specing the doors and windows and AC cutout, and the queen size bed doesn't help much, either, but I'll get it figured out |

Title: Re: Woo hoo my future home has arrived! Post by verslagen1 on 05/10/16 at 19:14:27 Look at some of the tiny houses. most of them have the bedroom as a loft. or I'd look at a murphy bed. |

Title: Re: Woo hoo my future home has arrived! Post by KennyG on 05/10/16 at 19:50:25 Art, Go to an Ikea store and look at the display that they have for the world's smallest apartment. You will get some good ideas there. Kenny G |

Title: Re: Woo hoo my future home has arrived! Post by MMRanch on 05/10/16 at 20:02:28 What about drawers under the bed as in twin bed on top of two Dressers. Yea , forget the mirror but put a bed on top ? Thinking outside the box ??? ::) |

Queen size beds make a 8'x10' bedroom seem small - you need to find a smaller bed. Those mini house shows always show storage places tucked in everywhere.......under the bed, behind the door, overhead. Would it be wrong to store your clothes up by the roof and use if for insulation? :o |

I thought about a lofted barn for thast very reason, but climbing down from a loft to use the potty in the middle of the night would suck The murphy bed idea has occurred to me, I just have to figure out how to make it sturdy enough for occasional um, execrcise |

Tha is a great idea, just have to find an Ikea near me (or maybe it's on their website) I am definitely thinking minimalist here, and small stuff leaves more room for living |

hehehe ever lived in a travel trailer? there is ALWAYS under bed storage (less useful if you use a murphy bed, though) mine has a large space under with cabinet doors If I don't Murphy I will definitely use the underbed space , but more likely an open area (think 'big footlocker' rather than dresser) |

Would it be wrong to store your clothes up by the roof and use if for insulation? :o [/quote] I do, the only reason I'm using the queen at first is that I already own it It is old enough replacing it should probably be done soon still will likely stick with a full size, in case overnight company man, a twin would take up so much less space Nothing wrong with overhead storage for clothes, I was thinking a closet rod in a nook with a shelf on top, like a hotel room, since I don't own a lot of clothes, but that might be even better I'm still debating between downsizing a hotel type floorplan and using a small travel trailer inspired floor plan I'd be better served had I put the AC cutout in the front wall or the side wall, then I could just close of the back completely and voila, bathroom / closet area in one |

Title: Re: Woo hoo my future home has arrived! Post by justin_o_guy2 on 05/12/16 at 06:35:01 Beds should go up on the wall, fold up. No reason why they should be allowed to eat all that floor space all day long. Academy sell a campstove/ oven. Propane, pretty cool, stainless steel, wanna say three top burners. |

Title: Re: Woo hoo my future home has arrived! Post by Art Webb on 05/12/16 at 07:27:48 is it portable? right now my Trailer has a 3 burner stove with oven, but it's a built-in I like the idea of being able to stash stuff when not in use, and was considering either a 2 burner camp stove or a gas grill outside, as I tend to do must of my cooking in the oven right now of course a microwave will cook most things well, but the gas option means you can still cook if the power is out, and it tastes better as to the bed, I tend to use it as a chair a lot ;D I am thinking of a fold away though, just gotta figure out how to make it good and sturdy without it being too cumbersome Gary came up with an interesting idea re floorplan, that makes the idea I originally had doable despite my dumb placement of the AC cutout |
