manufactured home prices and floor plans?


They vary! I think they go from anywhere from $40,000.00 to $200,000.00. We just bought one and it’s almost $100,000.00. 4 bedroom, 2 full bath, kitchen, dining room, living room, den & laundry room. Ours is 28×80!

Does anyone live partially or entirely off grid?

Off Grid power options?

If so, what type of alternate power system(s) are you using?

Solar? —(I think very expensive and in this part of the country, not enough sun.)

Hydro-electric? —(may be a viable choice if I have enough current running through my stream and or enough head from a waterfall)

Wind? — (If It is installed high enough and does not obscure.)

Diesel Generator—(may be ok if underground, low speed, water cooled)

We are planning to build a log home in up-state Pa. as a second home for now, but our primary residence in a few years.

Thanks in advance for your answers!

whatever you use to charge batteries (which is what powers your inverters that change low voltage to 110 volt) make sure you use "marine" batteries, they are different than "car batteries" because they hold a steady charge before a dropoff instead of slowly losing voltage like car bats.("dropoff rate")

What is there to do when home-parent plans to move away from co-parent?

Is there anything that can be done to prevent the home parent from moving far away? If so what?

Yes,the parent can go to court and fight the other parent moving away. The judge will have to decide what is in the best interest of the child involved.

Architectural Computer Renderings?

Hello Everyone,

I am an architecture student working with an architecture firm making 3d Digital Models of various projects.

I was thinking about going out and doing a small side project to see if anyone else needs this visual aid as well.

I know seeing things from a 3d perspective can give one better understanding of a building rather than just elevations.

What do you think?
If you were putting on an addition onto your home

planning on designing a new home

Renovating a large industrial building,

would you pay to see what it looks like 3 dimensionally?

Several firms offer this kind of thing and it works really well for presentations. I’m not sure the average home builder or home remodeler would need such a thing or would want to pay for the cost but an Architect and/or Firm finds these kinds of tools helpful.
