Bryon,

A friend of mine who didn't have a lot of money lived in an aging mobile home on some land he owned. He needed more room so he build a house around the mobile home - the mobile home was actually part of the house. No telling what types of repair issues developed as a result.

Would you do this, or move the mobile home to the side of the property and build a new home in the best spot?

My mother's family has pictures from the 40's of pulling the family's first truck out of the mud with their team of horses (pretty funny!). Would you ride in your new cadillac, pulled by your team of horses, or learn to drive and use the horses for something else?
