RE: [papercreters] Re: mobile homes

Good points Terry,

I lived in a camper for one winter in Vermont while building a house for someone.  I insulated it better by making a box out of 1” RMAX ductaped and tarped.  It was quite cozy. 

A layer of papercrete blocks would make it pretty impenetrable.

Actually if you look around at mobile home lots you might find one with lots of vintage ones to choose from.  There's a lot down by Quartzsite, AZ, that has some really incredible old mobile homes,  earlier than the 70's obviously, one even had a little upstairs room.  They have funky little windows up high, I love going through them.  None are in "move-in" condition though other than having shelter over your head.  The only problem we have where I live is they won't give you a permit to put a pre-1974 mobile home on your property because of the electrical wiring, unless you rewire it to code. 

 

You could get a large older motorhome cheap if it's not in running condition.  I know some people who lived in one on their property while they built.  And my neighbors have a small cabin they built themselves in cool country,  they have a couple of cabover campers on the property for guests and family members, and one older motorhome they stayed in while they built the cabin, they also built an outhouse to use until they got their septic tank put in.  I've mentioned my neighbors before, they're the Redneck MacGyvers.
