Our new home, with pics

You’re going to want a razorwire perimeter in preparation for the civil war that’s happening, I know it’ll be a lot of work but your wife and yourself will have to rotate shifts on guarding the property… Get lots of ammo, if you need to know how to make IED’s… I got a guide.

Godspeed…

Stay safe…

What’s the R Value of the insulation? Can you be assured they used exterior vapor barrier around the insulation or is it applied via spray? … What did the wiring look like? Find a junction box or 3 and see how they’re wired to see if the electrician was competent. Make sure the skirting on the outside has a rigid foam insulation on top of insulation around your other pipes, important shit.

You forgot to ask about his subfloor … Is it OsB , Plywood or …Particle Board ?? Wait it a manufactured home so Particleboard is my guess . Unless Mr O Where requested something else .

Btw @Ken_O_Where love the LVP …That gray look is nice. Who picked the cabinets and flooring because that contrast is perfect.

We’re all effected by this, the globalists are going to destroy this continent… Stock up on Fiddy Calibre ammo now.

As for the particle board, never heard of that used for flooring at all. Here often times it’s Ply but have used ply for flooring…

As for skirting, that would be ideal to have rigid insulation on the back of your panels around the home, I think they sell fancier stuff you can rip down to size and get it all buttoned in. Gotta move fast, winter is approaching though, last thing you want to do is have a pipe burst…

I heard the Taliban have really great prices on slightly used weapons and equipment. Got to pay for shipping though.

Screen name change coming to: ‘O’Where in the hell is Ken, under all that snow?’

Just in case some here are not familiar with where that beautiful new home was planted.

Shouldn’t cost too much, the US supplied them so…

Fortunately we chose an area that gets a bit less snow, about 200 inches/year. I love the snow stick next to that sign, really puts it in to perspective, its nuts, lol.

As for the construction materials, the sub floor is plywood and it does have wire as i saw some sticking out. This particular brand of manufactured homes is pretty good, we went down to Indiana to check them out before we had the home built.

For the colors, they give you plenty of options. The show home was mostly gray interior, flooring, countertops, etc, and we swapped it all out of what we wanted.

Thanks for the offer, @anon44012888 but i dont need any IUD’s. :crazy_face:

Thank you all for the well wishes. :smile:

PS: Bedroom #2 is where the mixing lab is going!

Congrats!!! I can only imagine your excitement.

We are starting that same journey. Just had the spot we picked on the land we bought cleared. Now we have to get utilities out, well, etc. We have a small rental we are living in till all is done. It will be a while.

I need to change my forum name to “Tornadoalleydeb” lol
We are in Oklahoma and the land is in a tiny place called Stuart. Now if I could only get used to the humidity. I have lived in the desert (AZ and NV) since the early 80’s

I wish you many years of happiness in your new home!

Wow, awesome, Deb! It is pretty exciting, eh? I hope the best for you too and i also hope you post a few pics. Thank you and best of luck on your journey, Deb. Humidity + heat sucks but the seclusion makes it worth it.

@fidalgo_vapes We almost moved up years ago and im glad we didnt, we were looking near the place where @d_fabes sign is, that woulda been mega snow country. I hope you get the opportunity to do as you want to, the further away from the cities the better, lol.

My uncle told me today that he sold the property to the north of us to a family from the area so i will have a couple neighbors but not many. Here is a sat image of the property and surrounding area:

All farms and woods.
