 Ergh Man buying a new place sucks

Iowa; I'm sure you have investigated the modular homes that they bring over here from Wisconsin, and also there is a big plant in Dyersville, Ia. Two couples who have had trailers similar to ours on the Turkey river in northeast Iowa decided to make that their permanent homes so both bought manufactured homes from a company in Wisconsin, both have invited us to see their new homes, they are just plain nice, and both toured the plant where they were built. One is a retired carpenter and he was impressed with the quality of the materials and workmanship. The comment of one of the couples was that they weren't on any budget,(I'm sure they just wrote a check for it)that they liked the "While we're at it syndrome" of building a stick built home goes away, once you sign the contract you know all the coats and other than maybe the utility hookup costs nothing changes. Neither of them have basments, but a young couple just north of us to which a known budget was important do have a basemant. I don't remember the exact time frame of their homes, but it seems like they bought in early fall and were in before Christmas. I'd give you the brand name of their homes but I don't remember, but they did come from Wisconsin. Just a passing thought. Frank.

 Ergh Man buying a new place sucks

I just got back from out there. Went up to Clearbrook, MN to pick up a piece of equipment and stopped in Mequon, WI for a crusher part.

I would not live in suburbia for all the money... out in the country many nice old farm steds. All kinds of old farm treasures in hedge rows. Great looking country, great people, they still wave when you drive by. I did go up to Richfield, WI that is also nice looking country.

I guess it depends on how far you are willing to comute.

4-5pm Milwaukee was a struggle in traffic. 6-7:30 pm the road into and out of Chicago was bumper to bumper 15 MPH. Now I know why IL has such strong anti gun laws. People would simply shoot themselves rather than fight that traffic every day.

Good Luck hunting
