The Stupendous (And Pathetic) Mobile Home Tour of 2013

That was my work pattern basically, but being left handed the ciggy was in the right, the pen in the left, and the Scotch was in the drawer.

Here you go people. Couldn't find the scotch though.

Now THAT is a thing of beauty!

I've known people that were neat-nuts, to the point where they would use a carpenter's level to make sure their Post-It notes were straight. Their religion was TRAF - Toss, Refer (or Re-Route), Act and File. They kept a stopwatch handy to see how long a piece of paper stayed on their desk.

I used a perpetual calendar.

That is disturbingly familiar Pappy.

But now I'm intrigued by that gold coloured tapered bottle at the front. Please tell me it has no medical connotations because I bought one that looks a lot like it from a stall years ago and just can't throw it out. It has a silver crescent shaped stopper but can't make out if that one in the picture does. Any info on it??
 
Hi, burtonseagle - welcome to the forum!

I'm afraid I got rid of the original links, but they were all from Craigslist, eBay and Zillow (the real estate site). I'm half-heartedly looking for a manufactured home as well and those are three sites that I check on a regular basis.

Good luck!

Since I've been thinking lately of mobile homes, mainly in Florida, and I have been accused of slighting Missourians as to their collective intelligence (oops - I mean, "how smart the peeple are"), I thought I would combine the two threads and start The Stupendous (And Pathetic) Mobile Home Tour of 2013. I plan to find the most dilapidated, beat-up, run-down mobile home in every state and post it here, along with my commentary.

For my source material I will be using Craigslist, eBay, Zillow (real estate site) and any and all realtor sites I can find.

For my first entry, I have found this beautiful 5 bedroom, 2 bath double-wide in Wilmer, Alabama. Wilmer is an "unincorporated community" in Mobile county (how apropos!) and is located within spitting distance of the Gulf of Mexico, with a population of around 11,000 souls.

The only information included in this Craigslist listing is that the asking price is $4,000USD and the price includes 2 acres of land.

The burn-barrel in front and the rickety old wooden stairs probably tell all you need to know about this gem, but if you need an isolated spot with a few bedrooms and bathrooms to bring your victims, this might just be what you're looking for.

No collection or study of mobile homes would be complete without the entry of the Bill Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock:

God we've missed Bill! Could you all please vote for Hilly so we can have more Billscapades ... please?

(He is still on her porch isn't he?)

Now that is a truly magnificent monument to the much underrated trailer's part in history. Maybe the same architect who designed the new digs at the South Pole, very similar lines.
