kicking some bad ideas down the road

[bradbn4]

I am not sure what is what anymore; I did find a nice land, ok out building - well; maybe - a garage port without a roof; not sure what those are....with a converted garage as a house. Basic one bedroom, one living room/kitchen, bathroom. Size was 2.7 acres in south east Texas.

If I found that same thing in Wyoming I prob be in my truck this weekend scoping it out. At least the fever broke 1am today, I hope that is the last of that stuff.


If truth be known, there was another place that I would have jumped at, 10 year old house, semi-gutted or in a demo phase for a rebuild. I could almost see me buying it; lay down some artificial turf carpet + black out curtains to make it a nice place to live. I think it was 150k for 4 acres. Just a 10 year old house but the roof did look shot and it was a quality bank repo. All it would need would be a nice LP gas tank, instant hot water for the bathroom and it would have all the warmth of my parents burnt out farm house with a roof that did not leak.

Most of the installed lighting fixtures were on the floor, so flooded out/ roof leaked / who knows....

cheaper to buy, if you could find one, a 5th wheel. Then see how much you want to invest in a stick built home.

Those garage ports are called RV units out here. Roll the RV, camper or 5th wheel under it to reduce u-v rays.

Also known ad high desert meth labs, out in the mohave.


You'll be driving along 40 crossing in to CA,towards barstow. Seeing one of those ports way out in the middle of nowhere. With a camper under it, a few cars on cinder blocks and who knows what else. 120 deg in the a.m and they're just hanging out.
