Use Mobile Trailers for Contracting and Renovating

Posted on 06. Dec, 2008 by Mrs. Mecomber in blogging

It is SO hard to live in a house while it is being renovated, especially if you are gutting the place. We are not *there* yet, but we have toyed around with the idea of temporary daytime/office space when we finally do gut this old house. But temporary space can a problem in of itself– where do you find it?! Do you find an apartment to live in for a few months?! That could be pretty expensive, and the moving from one place to another can be rough. Well, do you buy a trailer or small mobile home?! THAT is expensive, not to mention that some towns have codes against installing a trailer home. And in a renovation, you can still have the bathroom and sink operating– what you really need is just a place to park your stuff (papers, TV, computers, etc) and a place to organize everything.

Well, how about renting a small office trailer while the renovations are going on during the day? This seems to me to be the best of both worlds if you are going to be your own contractor. With a mobile office, you are always on site, and you have the psychological comfort of still being “home” while everything is being gutted around you. And it’s much less expensive than buying a mobile home or renting. Construction workers rent small mobile office trailers all the time. It’s a good place to store your papers, still get work done, and is neat and clean. Some mobile trailers have small bathrooms and many are equipped with air conditioning.
