When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation.

However, even after being in the game for 5+ years and cutting down costs a lot, for example there is a "Home Depot" warehouse 2 hours away, everything is 50 percent off store price, if not negotiable).

Care to share your experience?

Careful questioning can flush out a scam. if you decide to purchase, put any up front money liek an Earnest Money Depost with the title company.

Because of this I would have to cut the pre-fab shower wall to the window.

Even people who do not care quite as much as others still in fact do care.
