It's not presumptous of you at all! It's really obvious that this little tin can of mine just isn't worth the time, trouble, much less the money.

Maybe I forgot to mention before, but when my son bought me this place, it was a last ditch effort to get me a place to live. When we looked at it, we were aware that the floors in the bathroom, the corner of the living room closest to the bathroom, and the floor and part of the wall in the bedroom had dry rot or water damage. It was there already and the water heater running for half the day or more did it no favors whatsoever. So add what's been happening to that and it's just not worth it. The only thing I'm curious about is the cost of tearing everything out and leaving just the metal frame compared to looking at some of the newer mobile homes that are for sale here in the park. There's a couple of new ones, but I'm afraid to ask how much they are.

Anyway, I had no choice but to replace the water heater. The old one was all rusted out. Son of a gun tried to rip me off for an extra $200! I told him "Nope! I was told $700. See ya!" He then came down to $800. Told him the same thing. Finally he gave up and said $750 so I said ok. LOL He didn't know who he was trying to mess with! JERK!! I feel better since I've got running hot water but I've decided that if I move, all the new stuff is going with me! This place will just get demolished. It's not livable anymore.

Golly gee! Duh, that's not what I would normally say, but I can't type what I'm thinking. LOL Anyway, not sleeping last night is catching up to me. Gonna finish checking out the new posts and I'm headed for B-E-D!
