We moved into our brand new home the day after Thanksgiving. We live in rural Northern Nevada on 1.5 acres in a 1740 square foot home. What a blessing it is to live in a home with a foundation, after living for several years in our 36 ft. 5th wheel. The Lord is so good! We raised our four children in a three bedroom, 1400 ft. home on the central coast of California. My husband plans to build a large shop and build his own airplane.
When I'm in a trailer, the swaying always bothers me a little!
We're definitely going to go the small house/large shop route! Just be sure to build the door wide enough to get the airplane out! (My parents built a boat and had to take the basement doors off the hinges to get it out - with 3/4" to spare!)
