I used Old Dominion Freight lines to move. They dropped the trailer at my place 4 days before the move and left it for 3 business days to load it. then trucked it down here and parked it at my new place for 3 biz days to unload. I used 18' of space in a 28' box trailer. Cost was ~ $1,850.00 total. It was the cheapest way I could find. Whatever you do, hope it works out for ya!

Spoke with Kate last night. She may have some Boer's for me. I'm getting excited. Much more fun to research Boer goats than pack.

When we had ours done 10 years ago the surveyor put flags on the trees for us along the property line...no charge. The property that we trying to buy was surveyed and the stinkin' neighbor on the other side pulled the corner pen or something...no where to be found even with a metal detector; and it was there, DH saw it. The neighbor is about 300' off on his fence so he doesn't want it marked. It will be recorded with the county and we took pictures of the temporary stake and flag so we can line it up with the trees behind it, but really...

We refinanced our manufactured home with FHA and compared to the conventional loan (that we couldn't even get because of filing a schedule F on my taxes) it was not a bad experience. I think a lot depends on the underwriters.

Again, that is why it is important to be there when the surveyors do their work and drive one's own substantial marker deep in the ground within inches of the surveyor's original markers or stakes.
In many states, it is a crime to move any marker placed by a licensed surveyor, doubly so if it is moved for the purpose of land theft or fraud.

Half the kitchen is packed! Master bathroom is packed. The garage looks like a bomb went off in there. Kids room mostly packed. Donated a ton of stuff to Goodwill, threw away even more. Signed my closing documents today. Go to the Title Company on Friday to have all the documents notarized. Picking up Amos and Ellie (LGD puppies) the 15th of January and heading out on the 16th. Hope to be in Cooper by the 20th. Fingers crossed. I hope the light I see at the end of the tunnel isn't a train!!!
