I just agreed to purchase a 12x60 single wide for
$800.00.   As you can guess this is not too pleasant
inside.   We plan to live in it only until I can find
a house to move or can build one.  My question any
creative ideas on what to do?   Example I need to
replace a lot of the standard mobile home panels.  Am
looking for creative ways to do walls, floors and
maybe ceiling.  Possible something I can recycle.  
This does not have to look like anything "typical" if
it can be interesting and attractive.   I have a few
ideas but I'm someone here might come up with
something that I would never think about.
I may wind up removing interior walls and trying to
make the inside space livable as a single large room.
considering building a shed over so to have an open
porch on one side and the other to be a semi enclosed
back porch / mudroom.  But all this is conjecture
right now.
