    Maybe in the dream scenario I am in PA but the really real reality has me further south where you can't get beer on Sundays at all and in most restaurants either. It's a backwards backwater here in a lot of ways. I would rather be further north with my trailer but I don't always get what I want! Probably a good thing!

    Now see, I have a basic understanding of logistics but it has all been learned in the service industry dealing with intangibles. That may have been one reason I was willing to buy a 53-foot semi truck dry van box van storage trailer e plate equipped Step Van-- how am I doing so far? I think I'll have to check my cheat sheet. Anyway it seemed like the smart thing to do at the time, to buy this thing, and put my household goods in it, until I found out where I was going to land. I Maybe forgot to take into account Where and when I landed I would most likely want it with me! Or to consider that a lot of times I don't land, I bounce! Lol so, what is logistics again?

    if if I remember correctly about the second or third day I was dancing inside the trailer, we had a good three or four days of rain. That's when I noticed in the top left corner on the front, the plywood looks a little damp, and I got out there and climbed up, and sure enough there was a little bitty leak behind the plywood, just enough to be aggravating. I called around to all the guys who were local and found somebody who came out and welded it for me, and no more leak! So it is dry! I was actually thinking four Windows to a side with at least one slider. I definitely have to have doors in the front as well as the back too. And maybe on the side, Escape Routes are important! I'm trying to figure out a way to put the hot tub on top! The most important thing though will be the outside decking. If it can't go anywhere, I might as well build it in right?

    I was thinking you can add a wing onto housing eventually getting 4 trailers in a square block add a swimming pool in center. Can you say Redneck Envy?
