You drive your trailer under your overhang and decide it would be nice if it was a built in! This is in a small town in Mass. Must be chilly with those thin walls.

Looks like a few I have seen in Michigan, the only difference is they park the trailer add the overhang and live in it for years. I was surprised the first time I saw the structures but I am no longer surprised because I have seen so many. I will admit I haven't seen any exactly like the one you posted.

And everyone thinks that rednecks are only south of the Mason-Dixon line!

We used to have a deer camp that was a trailer with a couple of additions... then we had a nice big fire (intentional) and built a bit more conventional structure.

Reminds me of my next door neighbors in Northern Calif.
They had a 30' trailer with their home built off of it.
You almost couldn't see the trailer anymore.
Frank and Margie were, get this... from Boston, Mass!
Frank used to say he's not retired, just tired.
They're both gone now, but never forgotten. :)

Craig,

I hope you don't mind my hijacking this thread to bring a little life back into it. This is a funny little video with some great banjo music. I do not know who actually made this video, but my hat is off to them. Very creative and the musical timing is right on target.

Looks like the Florida room on a lot of trailers I saw in Marathon Key, Florida. You just park a trailer and start building rooms on it.

Amateurs . . . they left off the front porch for the 'fridge, and the trailer isn't up on blocks.

I had an Aunt and Uncle who were transferred to Coffeyville, Kansas with their jobs with the railroad. I'm guessing that was in the 30's but might have been earlier. They purchased some acreage, and had the railroad put a surplus freight car on the property. They lived in that and over the years built a home around it. Lived there until the end of their lives. Charming house, and you couldn't tell it was built around a rr car. It's the room they went when there were tornado warnings as it was very heavy and a secure place. Someday, an owner is going to try and remodel the home and get a very big surprise. :eek:

You know you are a redneck when......
Land is hard to come by and you deside to build a trailer condo complex.

My mother recently told me I was a redneck. I actually felt kind of proud. :)

I was gonna say... "Uh... Fellas... I think the house is the addition to the trailer!"

That's how us "high fa-lootin" rednecks roll :D

You see "homes" like that all the time in Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan, especially around the lakes. People used to buy a lot and park a mobile home there and then gradually build on to it as they needed more space.

What a great way to add an addition to your house without having to deal with inspectors and permits!

Theres one out here that I took a pic of. Its a mobile home with another roof built over it. I guess the other one leaked. Its ons 4x4 post with metal roof. It sits maybe 6 inches above old roof not attached at all to trailer.
