The Change In Perceptions Re: Trump (M. Blumenthal)
***
The closet thing to a full 399 square foot (max ‘tiny house’) is a 14 x 28 shell at 392.
The base price for it, with ‘playhouse’ additions, is $15000.
Of course that’s nowhere near the real price, because it doesn’t include blueprints and code enforcement modifications, or transporting of the built house, or leveling the land / pouring a slab, or connecting utilities, or insulating it or drywalling it or furnishing it.
Does that all run it up to $30K? 40K? To early to say, but budgeting 50K seems prudent.
The land is already paid for, and in fact that is true of two lots.
And 50K is roughly a mere third of the equity in the SandRock house whenever it may sell.
Leaving plenty free for a motel-room-replacement trailer, and even a perfect Alto Safari Condo alt-road-home, and a rebuild of the truck engine that would haul the latter.
The trailer(s) being especially necessary as a place to sleep in between leaving this present house and moving into the one pictured above.
Full-hookup trailer space in downtown Silver is $400 a month, maybe $500 by now in these inflationary days.
It all seems reasonably and affordably logical to me.
Text me and tell me where I’m wrong about that.

I will say: there is some logic, to just throwing up a doublewide for $20-30K more. It would be simpler, and it might be worth quite a bit more at resale, if reselling is what happens, because we’re talking triple the square footage and the ability to just say: this is a three-bedroom, one and a half or two bath.
Maybe that still happens, on one or the other of the lots.
