I had a guardian angel at one time, but my little devil got him drunk, tattooed, and left him penniless at a strip club. I have not had another angel assigned to me yet.

I had an Aunt and Uncle who were transferred to Coffeyville, Kansas with their jobs with the railroad. I'm guessing that was in the 30's but might have been earlier. They purchased some acreage, and had the railroad put a surplus freight car on the property. They lived in that and over the years built a home around it. Lived there until the end of their lives. Charming house, and you couldn't tell it was built around a rr car. It's the room they went when there were tornado warnings as it was very heavy and a secure place. Someday, an owner is going to try and remodel the home and get a very big surprise.

You know you are a redneck when......
Land is hard to come by and you deside to build a trailer condo complex.

My mother recently told me I was a redneck. I actually felt kind of proud.

I was gonna say... "Uh... Fellas... I think the house is the addition to the trailer!"
That's how us "high fa-lootin" rednecks roll

You see "homes" like that all the time in Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan, especially around the lakes. People used to buy a lot and park a mobile home there and then gradually build on to it as they needed more space.

What a great way to add an addition to your house without having to deal with inspectors and permits!
