The idea of climbing a ladder to sleep doesn't appeal to me. The
exterior just needs a few hippie style flowers and
maybe a portrait of the original Woodstock crowd to perk it right up.

I'll admit I'm too old to climb a ladder to sleep. Or, more to the point,
to descend a ladder with a full bladder in the middle of the night.

But it might be better than living in an apartment, given a suitable
site. If that was all I could afford.

I'll admit I'm too old to climb a ladder to sleep. Or, more to the point,
to descend a ladder with a full bladder in the middle of the night.

When I was 60, I took a long vacation and rented a room with 2 other
guys in it and I got one of the upper bunks. I could climb up and I
could sleep, but even though I hadn't fallen out of bed for maybe 50
years, I was worried because the room had a stone floor.

You have to weight risk vs. loss, and though the risk was tiny, it could
have killed me from 6 feet.

After 3 terrible nights, I finally got a second room in very cheap
hotel, with one bathroom for every guy, but my room was private and I
got a good night's sleep.

After that, the dorm was okay.

When I was 60, no bladder problems. (Don't tell anyone but they make
plastic bottles designed as urinals. I'm sure they work better for men
than women, but they might work well enough even for them.)

But it might be better than living in an apartment, given a suitable
site. If that was all I could afford.

For sure. And for travel. The right hand picture makes the kitchen
window look bigger than it is, but OTOH, it's probably big enough when
you're at the sink.

I lived in a cabin in the woods one winter. Very scenic but the woman
who owned it had the common sense to move to town for the winter.
the loft had two problems.

The first and ongoing was by the time the wood stove got the place up to
operating temperature the loft was pushing 90 degrees.

The ladder was a 2x12 with foot holds on alternate sides. When my ex
came for a visit it was sort of get her started, put my shoulder under
her butt and push. Getting down was also a project.

The outhouse was also designed by the woman who didn't winter there. It
was three sided with the open front providing a great view across the
valley. It sort of sucked in January.

They sort of follow gas prices but there are a lot of 5th wheels around
that are a lot less. They're even designed to travel. The single axle
and small tires on that one didn't look like you'd want to tow it too far.

The expense is in all the "eco-friendly" tack-ons. The living space

having to refill a potable water tank would also tend to get old after a

When Pima County AZ came up with a .50 a day RV tax to finance a farm
league baseball stadium I went the other way. iirc the property tax is
less than $14 a year. Pima County shot themselves in the foot with that
scheme. You don't try to tax something that is mobile by definition.

Worse yet, the Sidewinders slithered away to Reno. They couldn't keep a
team in the park even if they nailed their cleats to the ground. It was
originally called Electric Park but when the naming agreement with
Tucson Electric Power ran out the electric company decided they'd rather
not have their name associated with it so it was renamed the Kino Sports
Complex. Padre Kino died in 1711 and isn't around to bitch.

Yes there is. Look at the photo of the loft just below:
The lofted bedroom is up the ladder beside the kitchen.

Review the photo captioned 'The lofted bedroom is up the ladder beside

There are some places where assessed valuation does not go up until yo
usell the property. It encourages improvements and rewards ownership
but also makes it seem harder to move to another house or condo.

Until now, Indiana was the only state I knew of that taxed ownership of
cars. Registration and plates in states I've lived in are not
dependent on the value of the car.

The government gets money and call it a fee or tax, it ammounts to the
same thing.

About like if I shoot someone on the edge of a 10 story building and he
falls over. What did he die of, the bullet, hitting the ground from the
fall, or a heart attack on the way down. He is still dead and I
probably would be charged with killing him even if the bullet was only
in his leg.


I think our county actually calls the car money a tax.
Unless it is a relative, you can not even give anything that requires a
title (another fee/tax) to someone with out paying a tax/fee.
A coworker gave a boat trailer to a friend of his that di d ot have very
much money. The fellow brought the trailer back and said he could not
afford it. The tag people wanted around $ 100 for some kind of county
tax, not counting the title transfer fee and tag fee.

If you add up all the fees and taxes you pay in one form or another to
the government, They get well over half your paycheck.

Until now, Indiana was the only state I knew of that taxed ownership of
cars. Registration and plates in states I've lived in are not
dependent on the value of the car.



The price of the yearly tag is not depending on the price of the car,
but the same for all. To make sure the county gets the tax based on the
price of the car is why the tax is added on to the bill when you get the
tag. In other words, no tax paid, no tag.

Real estate taxes are on the land here, not the house.

Here, real estate taxes are on the land and all permanent
structures. It's calculated based on the price you paid
when you bought the property (plus annual increases for
increases in the value of the property).




Here the land is taxed at one value depending on the usage and the
buildings at whatever the county decides the building is worth.

Cars are taxed with a seperate bill when you get a tag. Not sure about
a car tax if it is just sitting around without a tag.



When I lived in CT it was taxed if registered. No car tax or
inspections here in FL.

Well, there is sales tax when you buy a car in Md. for example, but no
tax on the car any other year.

Yeah, but it's an australian micro house on wheels,
so Greg's line about getting it registered as an RV
isnt even possible, it has no engine to drive it and
it wouldnt be registrable as a caravan either given
that it isn't road worthy. You would have to get a
permit to move it on the road in most states.

And no point tax wise anyway because no tax is
payable on it. Tax would be payable on the land
it was parked on if you owned the land but not
if someone else let you have it on their larger block
of land or even in their backyard for say a relative
of friend etc. The tax they pay wouldnt change
when it was parked on their land like that.

Many things are just what you say they are.

A friend got his contractors license. He was looking into putting up
some modular homes. Went to the factory. There were 2 production lines
side by side. Almost no difference in them except one line was called
modular homes and the other mobile homes. The mobile homes got titles
and the modular ones did not.

In the county I live in there are lots of restrictions on were the
mobile homes can be put, but not so much for modular homes. Probably
99% of the ones that buy mobile homes never move them once set up. If
you look at the two, most would have a very hard time telling the
difference.
