  • Details on Our Manufactured Home

    It’s been a while since I shared all the details on our new construction manufactured home so here goes..

    Our home is manufactured by Live Oak Homes in Georgia, and this model specifically is The Fancy! We love it because not only was it affordable at $179,000, it also came fully furnished with all the furniture, home decor, rugs, and appliances!

    A little more details, it’s 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and 2254 sqft, plenty of room for our family of five! We love the fact that it has 2 living rooms, a dining area, and an island big enough to fit the whole family (it’s 11.5’ long!)

    We have made some changes over the past year with things like the kitchen backsplash, board and batten siding, and refinishing the walls to name a few.

    The home came with a home warranty and they were able to change some things out for us at no additional cost, like a chip in the counter top being that it was the model home. We had a couple of foggy windows that were replaced, and a crack in the ceiling from the delivery process that they were able to patch up.

    If you’re thinking about a manufactured home, I would definitely recommend one if you are looking for that affordable lifestyle and a home that is easy to customize and upgrade!

  • Home update

    Ever since we first toured our home we knew the strips on the walls had to go. At first we were going to rip everything out and put standard drywall, but after talking with our home contractor we decided to keep the VOG walls and just fill in the joints. VOG is a type of drywall Vinyl on Gypsum that’s typically found in these homes.

    If you order a brand new manufactured home it is an option to have drywall, and that was around an $8,000 upgrade, but since we got the model home ours came as is.

    Right now we’ve completed the main living areas, and as soon as my arms recover from all the painting we will start on the bedrooms.

    Everything in our home is a different shade of gray, so I’m happy to see it get a little brighter in here with the white.

    Here’s everything we used to fill in the joints

    Sure Corner

    FibaFuse

    Ultra Lite Joint Compound

    After you layer on joint compound, fibafuse tape, and more joint compound, let it dry then sand, reapply, and sand some more until everything is completely smooth.

    It took about 3 or 4 layers of paint before the gray walls were completely gone, but the results are so worth it. Here’s how the living room looked before:
