Buying a house, mobile home, or building a metal house/shed?
My future husband and I are in the process of figuring out what would be a better option for a living space. We do not need a lot of room because we are not planning on having kids soon, however 1000 sq. ft. or a little under would be best.We live in the southeast region of the U.S. and would like a sturdy home for hurricane season as well. We already have land settled out to where we want to build so all we need is the structure.
We are obviously looking for the better priced option. We are both college graduates and are not looking to pile up a huge amount of debt right now.
We got a quote so far for $25,500 for a metal building that includes insulation, concrete, windows, and doors that is a little over 1,000 sq. ft.. It sounds like a great deal however we will have to obviously put the plumbing, counters, more walls to separate rooms, etc. Which will probably end up costing us another 15k or more.
The mobile homes we looked at (single wide) were straight up flimsy and the appearance of them were very sad even brand new. They looked like a graham cracker. However, they were priced around 35k-40k. Not a fan of mobile homes, but I know a lot of people have them as starter homes.
Building a house or buying a modular home is expensive, I know, but they're really nice and so much prettier. I am open to any ideas!
Just asking any of you for your opinion on starting out in life according to housing! There is literally nothing for rent where I live unless you want a rathole.

1 AnswerHomework Help7 years agoiPad mini sound problem?
Okay, so I switched my iPad mini off last night and out it on the charger and it was at 50%. I took It off the charger this morning and entered my pass code and I heard my keyboard clicks making strange noises. Then I played some music and then the sound quality sounded horrible! It almost sounds like shattered glass when I played music. I'm really worried that I may have to buy a new iPad. Is there anyway I can fix it?
4 AnswersLaptops & Notebooks7 years agoHorse Blanketing Question?
Okay, so it's raining and it's around 50 degrees and my 4 horses are all blanketed. It's suppose turn 28 degrees over night and I only have two stalls. I'm not really sure what to do! I know that leaving a wet blanket on is bad, but I'm afraid that they will get too cold without one. Plus they will be wet! Any horse owners have any suggestions?
2 AnswersHorses7 years agoWho are some artists that use political or historical events in their artwork?
I need to research an artist that uses political or historical events in his or her artwork. This artist has to have background, education, and biographical information. I've tried looking for some artists, but I haven't had any luck. Hopefully you guys can help! It would be very helpful if you could include a link to the artist website also. Thank you!
An example would be an artist who painted 9/11; bombing the twin towers.
3 AnswersPainting8 years agoAnyone know about the Cold War?
Were studying about the Cold War and I need to know the following...

2. What problems does Trotsky identify in the Soviet Union?
3.Describe how the Soviet Union's economy structure was different from normal and how might this suggest about the collapse of the Soviet Union.
4. What does the amount of equipment left behind suggest about the extent of Soviet involvement in Afghanistan?

4 AnswersHistory8 years agoWhat do I need to do to Fatten up my pets?
I need some good advice on how to fatten up my animals a little without making them obese. First of all, I have 2 mares,Buttercup & Lightning, that are on the poor side. They are both old and active, but get plenty of hay, mineral block, and grain twice a day. I also add a fat supplement called Cool Calories to their feed. I have two other horses that their weight condition is fine. Buttercup usually get's poor this time of year, but picks back up in the spring. Lightning, on the other hand is usually like a butterball all year around. (Lightning is a Tennessee Walker)
My dogs are also having another weight problem. I have one old dog, who's usually that fattest one we have, is turning out to be the slenderest one we have. I'm not too surprised that he's losing weight this time of year because he's old, but I would like him to gain just a few pounds back on. I also have a couple other dogs that are losing weight, but their very active. They are hunting dogs.
My cats, I have no problem with. They eat like pigs.
Please don't be rude when you answer to this. I just don't my animals looking like they came from the pet cemetery. Plump and healthy is what I want them to be! Thank you for your time.
3 AnswersOther - Pets9 years agoWill my German Shepherd grow taller?
My 10 month old Male German Shepherd, Hoss, is a long, lanky pup. He's medium size right now, but I was wondering how tall he would get? He's starting to fill out day by day, but I'm hoping he will get huge. I want him to be big, so people think he will bite. Is there an age point where German Shepherds stop growing? Please answer nicely :-) Thanks!

10 AnswersDogs9 years agoWhat is wrong with my Horse?
My 20 something year old horse has something wrong with her. I would like to know whats going on before I get a vet to come out and take a look at her. What really is bugging me is that she's growing her winter coat in the middle of July! I know she has cushing's disease, which is a disease that most old horses get. I think the only reason she is growing all this fur is that I'm feeding her lots of this fat supplement. She gets really skinny and I try to fatten her up as much as I can! I think that I'm going to cut her feed back and quit giving her Cool Calories for a while. I think I might give her aspirin too. Do any of you guys have an answer? Thanks :) Have a great day!
