MadReferee, that is a deplorable web site!!! /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
Most of those homes pictured there had well kept yards and seem to be included because of their low economic value. Many of those trailers occupants are just trying to make ends meet keeping their families housed and fed. And some guy too cowardly to disclose his name thinks its funny to call them trailer trash. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
That guy is paying www.bocacom.net at least $70 a month to host the site and $9 dollars a month to www.intergate.com for an anonymous email address. His little joke is costing him more per month then some of those families can afford to spend on their children's lunches. I can only guess he is extremely insecure and is suffering from one or more mental disorders and should seek professional psychiatric treatment.
Sorry for the rant, now back to tractors. I wonder if I could flip his car over with my FEL?

It's not too anonymous. You can look up the registrant with the whois command, or go to betterwhois and do it there.
Notice his email address. BTW, the domain registration expires the 15th of this month.

I got that site link about 3-4 years ago from a very active RV forum site. I think it is just someone's idea of humor and so did the Open Road RV site.
If you scroll to the bottom of the page the last paragraph there is the site owner's explanation of why he did the site.

/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif I forgot to check whois, his web site really got me going. His web pages mailto link is to the intergate account, not the yahoo account.
MadReferee,
I did read his explaination, but it doesn't match the pictures on his site. Most, not all, of them have clean yards, with no visible trash in the pictures.

Has anyone seen the show that's on either DIY network or HGTV called Assembly Required? Its all about manufactured homes. I've only seen one episode, but on that show they documented a family's experience of converting a stick-built plan to a modular plan in order to speed up the construction process. I wasn't watching intently and I know I missed some key facts, but I think they ended up with the equivalent of 2 double-wide units that they perched on 16 ft piers (to take full advantage of their waterfront property). They ended up with about 4200 sq ft of living area.
Now, the odd thing is that they were initially in such a rush to get in their home that they adopted the manufactured plans to suit their needs, then once the house was assembled, they immediately gutted the structure, changed the floorplan and upgraded all components. This process took an additional 7 months. Seems to me that they could have done a stick-built structure as fast and very likely cheaper than doing it this way.
In any event, this may be a show that interests some folks here.

I saw this show too, and could not understand their reasoning either........
well this is how it panned out, never was able to contact the owners as they are still currently living in Florida, haven't figured out if this is their retirement home or what, the weird thing is they purchased the 4 acres and the house that is right next to their property, but still put in this mobile home, I was really hoping the mobile was temporary until they built something, but I can almost guarantee that isn't the case, as they underpinned it in block and stucco all the way around, they also installed a prebuilt shed which they put right on the property line to make me even happier, still haven't talked w/ them or anyone on that matter, building code inspector said that as long as they were far enough off of the right away, then all disputes were civil matters, I did contact the builder and he was very nice about the matter, said he didn't know how the damage was done to the fence or where the trash came from but I don't believe that for a minute, he fixed the fence, put up new posts, and removed all of the trash so I dropped the matter, it seems they are far enough of the property line (20 ft which is the minimum), I was told by some friends in the county that more than likely I would lose the battle on the prebuilt shed as it is not technically on a permanent foundation (block instead of concrete pad), so there are no laws regarding this matter (wonderful), on another note, there was around $500 worth of scrap metal in the form of 3/4" stl. plate, lots of it on my property which I purchased almost a year ago, I had planned to haul this out for scrap to make a little cash when low and behold the previous owner assumes since it was his originally, then he could send his buddies out to collect it themselves, I called him on the matter to let him know that someone should have asked me about the metal and should have especially asked if they could enter the property to remove it beforehand (which they didn't), he thought there was nothing wrong w/ it and pretty much hung the phone up on the matter, I still haven't quite figured out how to deal w/ this diplomatically, the buddy who took the metal is another one of my great neighbors, it is an old way of thinking in my opinion on both of their parts (they are both probably in their late 60's to early 70's) I am not trying to offend anyone w/ this statement just saying that in their younger days in this area they probably would have seen nothing wrong w/ this, but I really don't think it is being very respectful, am I wrong on this???, thanks guys for letting me vent

After your last post, I think Eddie Walker is right. Sell and cut your losses. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
Seems to me the plates had become your property, since the original owner had abandoned them. The fact that others went onto your place and took them and nobody seems to think that was wrong says a lot about the neighborhood.
