Melissa and her hubby are getting first home!!

Our first home was a mobile home. We moved it to the side yard and built our house. We didn't have to do anything to it to get started. In 1974 we paid $8500 for an acre of land with a mobile home and a two car garage on it. Not bad at all to start out. In '76 we built the house. Rick's uncle, Rick and myself did most of the work. What an experience.

We ended up selling the mobile home to a guy and he moved it to Lebanon. One night he came back to Frankfort and murdered someone. He always made me nervous and now I know why.

After a couple of years of apartment living, we started out in a mobile home, too. We bought it new, and our payments were something like $87/month. We parked it in the middle of my parent's pasture, installed our own septic tank and ran a water line from my parent's well. We had a 12 party phone line. We lived there about 4 years. Three of those years I was finishing college and we were building our first house. We paid as we built on the house and when it was finished, we had it paid for. There was a lot of sweat equity in that house. We sold the trailer for a little more than we had paid for it. What a deal!!! We are hoping that it will work out as well for Melissa and Garrett.
