Home An Insight Into The Manufacturing Of Mobile Homes 12:13 AM Mobile homes are becoming popular because of their simplicity and minimalist qualities. They provide an affordable housing alternative without losing that all important homey feel. The key is to search for a mobile home park where you could see yourself living for the next 10, 20 or even 30 years. Doing your research before making a decision is important. If you’re seeking a space where you can enjoy some serenity, then you won’t want to choose a mobile home park where there are loads of families and small children. You can learn a lot online by referencing great resources, such as the Michael H Scott mobile home park information website, but you’ll also want to physically go and check out the parks if you can, just to see first hand what they’re really like and who lives there. To help you discover more about mobile homes and mobile home park living, in this post we’ll take a very brief look at how mobile home parks are made, as well as the homes themselves, inside and out. An Insight Into The Manufacturing of Mobile Homes The Making of a Mobile Home Park Before a mobile home park can be made, there obviously needs to be a decent sized block of land on which to situate it. The size will depend on how many mobile home lots are planned, as well as zoning laws in the local area. On average, anywhere from 3 to 5 acres of available land would be needed, along with permits from local and state authorities to build the park. From that point it’ll be a matter of following a plan and constructing roadways within the park, as well as establishing each individual lot. There needs to be an office and accommodations for the management team to operate out of, as well as facilities for the community to enjoy. Common in modern mobile home parks are things like: A swimming pool Game’s room Barbecue and outdoor eating area Public toilets and shower block Possibly a small community hall for meetings and such And more... Establishing gardens and areas of lawn for residents to relax outdoors is also important, as today’s park dwellers expect a pleasant and picturesque mobile home park in which to live. The mobile homes will be built off site and delivered to the property, where they’ll be established on foundations and have the plumbing and electricity connected up, ready for occupancy. Decking the homes out with furniture is optional, regardless of whether the homes are to be rented or sold. Many people will have their own furniture. Manufacturing of Mobile Homes Modern day manufactured homes or mobile homes are of a high standard, with many different plans and layouts to choose from. Some are small while others are very roomy and spacious. For the most part these homes are built in a factory, with the finished product delivered to the site for final assembly and installation, as mentioned in the section above. The factories where mobile homes are put together are almost as large as a small town, as they need to be able to accommodate the building of multiple homes at the same time. A team of builders is on hand to handle every stage of the process, which begins with the flooring, after which pre-made walls are attached, followed by the roof. Everything is done with the aid of machinery and the process is absolute precision. If you can visit a mobile home factory and watch how it’s done, it’s very interesting. It’s amazing how systematic it all is. Once the basic home has been put together, it’s then finished off with cladding, painting and fittings for kitchens, bathrooms, lights, power outlets and switches. The idea is to be able to get these homes built quickly and for a budget price, making them a cost effective investment for mobile home park operators. Once the mobile home park has been established, chances are most of the homes required to fill the park will already be built, or be very close to completion. These days a mobile home park can be started from scratch and decked out with 200 homes in no time at all. The popularity of mobile homes continues to soar, keeping the demand for more and more parks very high.
Travels Cost Of Living In Canada 6:42 AM Universal public health care, an advanced social government, a reputation for compassion and a perfect environment for cyclists, skiers, fishermen, artists as well as urban residents. It is clear to see why so many people worldwide dreamed about moving to Canada. One of the first steps is how much it will cost to move and what it will cost to live after you get there. It's also important to know how much it will cost to live in a major city in Canada. It is also important to understand how different or similar your finances in the northern country look, whether you are retiring, temporarily moving or move into Canada for good. This guide will help you to learn about the costs of living in Canada so that you can stay in any of the six-time zones in the country. Cost of Living in Canada How Expensive is Canada Compared to Other Countries? When it comes to finances, one of the first things you need to consider is the exchange rate. How much cash will be in Canadian dollars and how far it will go out from your country, but also what kind of fees you can pay to exchange your money. It is particularly important because, when you work frequently with currency exchanges, you still have earnings in your home currency. Unfortunately, money exchange companies and banks tend to increase their exchange rates to increase their profits. They can keep the conversion costs down by gaining money on the rate. This sly approach can make you believe that you are getting a good rate, but actually, it's quite costly. When you convert your money, ensure that you test a true mid-market exchange rate converter. Once you've been working with the currency exchange, you're going to have a bank account full of Canadian dollars, usually only referred to as dollars or "loonies" by locals. In Canada, the most common form of denoting money is just with a dollar sign ($), it can also be written as Can$ or C$ to separate it from the other dollar-based currencies. It can also be written as CAD. Compared to a few major currencies, the list below shows the approximate value of Canadian dollars at this current time: £1000 equals $1705.71 $1,000 equals C$1324.94 €1000 equals $1460.64 Comparing the Cost of Living Toronto, Canada: A one-bedroom flat in the city will cost you around C$1640 a month, a meal for two will cost you around C$70 and public transport will vary depending on the service, but you are looking at C$145 a month. Montreal, Canada: A one-bedroom flat in the city will cost you around C$1000 a month, a meal for two will cost you around C$60 and public transport will vary depending on the service, but you are looking at close to C$85 a month. London, United Kingdom: A one-bedroom flat in the city will cost you around C$2800 a month, a meal for two will cost you around C$92 and public transport will vary depending on the service, but you are looking at close to C$220 a month. New York City, USA: A one-bedroom flat in the city will cost you around C$3900 a month, a meal for two will cost you around C$95 and public transport will vary depending on the service, but you are looking at close to C$150 a month. Berlin, Germany: A one-bedroom flat in the city will cost you around C$1100 a month, a meal for two will cost you around C$60 and public transport will vary depending on the service, but you are looking at close to C$120 a month. Sydney, Australia: A one-bedroom flat in the city will cost you around C$2700 a month, a meal for two will cost you around C$80 and public transport will vary depending on the service, but you are looking at close to C$160 a month. Which of the major cities in Canada is the most expensive? The cost of cities across Canada can vary widely. The cities below list the top five most expensive cities in Canada to live in: Vancouver, British Columbia Toronto, Ontario Victoria, British Columbia Calgary, Alberta Hamilton-Burlington, Ontario Salary Average in Canada Keeping the cost of living in mind, the other key factor is how much you’ll make. Depending on where you choose to live in Canada, your salary can vary considerably as employers make up for their city's value. If however, you aren’t planning on keeping your job at home, the following stats will give you a rough idea of the salary you should expect in Montreal or Toronto. Toronto Cashier: $ 21,100 Copywriter: $ 35,200 Financial Analyst: $52,000 Graphic Designer: $38,000 Product Manager: $70,000 Receptionist: $24,000 Software Engineer: $58,000 Teacher: $40,000 Montreal Cashier: $ 16,300 Copywriter: $ 33,500 Financial Analyst: $42,800 Graphic Designer: $33,800 Product Manager: $59,400 Receptionist: $22,500 Software Engineer: $52,100 Teacher: $37,900 Cost of Housing and Accommodation Regardless of where you move in the world, rent will always be one of the most important items of your budget, typically 35% to 50% of your monthly expenses. In three of Canada's biggest cities, the following figures detail rental prices (In Canadian Dollars) Montreal: Large Apartment: $1100 Medium Apartment: $860 Small Apartment: $640 Student Dorm Room: $550 Internet: $40 Toronto: Large Apartment: $1700 Medium Apartment: $1400 Small Apartment: $1100 Student Dorm Room: $600 Internet: $40 Calgary Large Apartment: $1400 Medium Apartment: $1100 Small Apartment: $900 Student Dorm Room: $460 Internet: $50 Dental and Health Care in Canada One of the main selling points for Canada is the free healthcare programme, meaning you won't be charged for appointments to doctors, dentists, ear checkups, the emergency room, or any other medical treatment. Like most countries with this kind of healthcare, it is funded by the tax system of the country. To retain the no-cost programme, the average person spends about C$4,200 a year, while a family of four costs about C$11,800. While taxes at that point may seem pretty high for foreigners, all in all, Canadians accept that it's not too much to pay for the fairly free healthcare system, as they can retain relatively good health. The Travel and Transportation Prices in Canada Canadians tend to drive everywhere, much like their southern counterparts in the U.S. That said, biking's popularity to work is on the rise. In fact, some neighbourhoods in Halifax, Vancouver, and Quebec City are seeing 20 percent of travellers coming to work by bike, although this statistic drops significantly through the cold winter months. It is also fairly common for people of major cities to use public transportation, buses and trains, while cars are king in the Canadian commute. Also noteworthy is the prevalence of air travel, as Canada is a large country, and cars and trains are not enough for longer trips, particularly from coast to coast. Gasoline (1 litre / 0.25 gallon) $1.02 Monthly Bus/Transport Pass $91 Bus Ticket, Single Use $3.15 Taxi Tariff, 30 Minutes $16 Toyota Corolla, New $21,449 VW Golf, New $23,000 Cost of Education Canadians like most other nations enjoy a free system of public schools for children up to 18 years of age. Prices in Canada are relatively low for higher education compared to U.S. schools, although they are somewhat less competitive than European countries where universities are often government-subsidized. The table below will give you an idea of the cost of education in Canada. Preschool / Kindergarten: $12,204 Private school for lower grades: $16,000 University of Toronto tuition: $6,400 (residents)/ $44,020 (non-residents) York University tuition: $7,312 (residents)/ $22,417 (non-residents) Canada has always been regarded as a great place to live, and it can be very cheap for its relatively high quality of living, depending on where you choose to stay. In the major cities too, Canada appears to be more accessible, not to mention Tim Horton, hockey, and hills. How can eTA Canada Help?

Love and Relationship How To Score Points With Your Man Or Woman 10:35 PM How To Score Points With Your Man Or Woman was the topic last Sunday at The Feast. What does it mean to score points with your man or woman? We are commanded to outdo one another in showing honor in Romans 12:10. How important is it to score points with your partner? It's crucial. Growing your relationship is like growing a plant. You water it. You put fertilizers in it. You see to it that there are no weeds or pests that could destroy it. You give it the right amount of sunlight. Some people even talk to their plants to help them grow faster. Scoring points with your partner nourishes your relationship and makes it last and prosper. How simple (or complex) is it to score some brownie points with your better half? How to Score Points with Your Man or Woman Score points with your man in 3 easy steps 1. Honor him by making him feel appreciated. Men are externally motivated by nature. They need to be praised, affirmed, and reminded that they are important. 💣 Never over criticize or put him down. 💣 Never deflate his ego. Giphy 2. Honor him by making him feel you believe in him. Make him feel like he is your superhero, that you need him, that you believe he's a winner. When you do, he'll start believing in himself, too. Giphy 3. Honor him by making him feel he's in control. Don't make a man feel you're controlling him. When you ask him to do something, pull back on the details. Let him know what you need and let him take it from there. 💣 Consult him, inform him and trust him. He'll do his best not to disappoint you. Good quote How to Score Points with Your Woman This may sound unfair, but only one step was discussed on how to score points with your woman. But it's indispensable so pay attention. Honor a woman by making her feel cherished. Follow these four easy steps: 1. Make her your priority. Give her your time. Call her. Set regular dates with her. Don't make her feel like she only comes second. Giphy 2. Listen to her (the way her girlfriends do). Men are naturally logical and are problem-solvers. But women don't really need saving. Sometimes they just need someone who listens to their rants. They want to feel that they're heard and that their opinion matters. Giphy 3. Appreciate her in details. Women are detail-oriented, and we like it when men pay attention to details. Just got a new haircut? Tell her she looks good. She prepared your food? Tell her it's delicious. It's in the details. Giphy 4. Make her feel special. A woman erases her "score board" every day. What you did yesterday is for yesterday. So, you need to earn points again today. But, you don’t have to do big things. You don't have to cross oceans or climb mountains. For a woman, every expression of love, big or small is equal. Taking her to a vacation or simply calling to check on her both means one thing: she’s important to you. Giphy Men are fairly easy to understand because they're simple. As my husband would put it, men only have two buttons---sex and food. 🤷 Don't worry men, it's not that hard to understand your woman. All you have to do is find out what her love language is...and what ticks her off. That may involve a lot of trial and error but be patient. Once you've figured it out, it'll be easy breezy. She is worth the effort. The bottom line is, to score points with your man or woman, you need to honor him/her.

Quotes 15 Encouraging Quotes For The Single 5:16 PM While waiting for the right person to arrive, you may get weary and bored. You may even get discouraged and decide to just settle for whoever is available. I always say, being single is easy. It is dealing with the judgmental and meddling society that is hard. Not everyone will understand your decision to stay single. I gathered 15 encouraging quotes for the single out there to help you get through this stage. Those who are single by choice and are happy about it are admirable. It's not easy being alone especially when you are surrounded by twosomes who are too caught up in their own worlds to care about the existence of other people around them. Giphy So here are some words of encouragement to my single ladies (and men) who are enjoying their freedom, while waiting for the right person who will change their lives forever. 15 Encouraging Quotes for the Single 1. Personally, I think if a woman hasn’t met the right man by the time she’s 24, she may be lucky. -Oprah Giphy 2. It's easy to fall in love. The hard part is finding someone to catch you. -Unknown Finding the person right for you is indeed difficult. I will not gloss over it. But it won't kill you. It will only make you wiser and stronger. You will learn what you can and cannot allow or tolerate. The best way to deal with this stage in your life is to enjoy it. Go on dates. Join productive activities. Serve a ministry. Be out there. Joint the One True Love Club. Having said that, don't make yourself too available for everyone. Protect yourself from abusive people. Let go of toxic relationships. It's when you let go of the wrong people in your life that you make space for the right ones. Wifflegif 3. We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love. -Timothy Oliveira There is no such thing as perfect lover or perfect relationship. That is because there is no perfect person. But you can still make your relationship work. How? By simply working on it! Make a decision to love your partner every day. Even when there are times it is quite challenging to do so. Love is not just a feeling. Love is a decision. Don't wait for the perfect lover. Work on making your love perfectly imperfect. Together. Giphy 4. Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in track pants, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have YOU... The one who turns to his friends and says, "that's her". -Harry Tottszer Giphy 5. Love is not automatic. It takes conscious practice and awareness, just like playing the piano or golf. However, you have ample opportunities to practice. Everyone you meet can be your practice session. -Brandi Snyder Giphy 6. Finding love is like finding shoes. People go after the good looking ones, but they end up choosing the one they feel comfortable with. -Unknown Author Tumblr 7. The bad things in life open your eyes to the good things you weren't paying attention to before. -Good Will Hunting Maybe you're taking people for granted. Maybe you don't realize how blessed you are because things are going your way. Don't curse the bad times. Don't avoid the hardships. They're there to make you appreciate what you have. Don't despair that you're still single. Some people are praying for what you have right now. Imgur 8. Love is not about finding the right person, but creating a right relationship. It's not about how much love you have in the beginning but how much love you build till the end. -Unknown You see couples so in love and happy and think they have it all together. You assume their relationship is a bed of roses. Sorry to burst your bubble, but it's not. Happy couples are happy because they went through hell and high waters and survived. What didn't destroy them made them stronger. They are happy because they went through pain and emerged better. They are victorious together. Giphy 9. If you like someone, tell him, because you might found out that they like you too. -Unknown There's no harm in trying! It's normal to like someone. Don't let an opportunity pass you by. You will regret what you didn't do. Don't let 'what if?' haunt you til your old age. Giphy 10. We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly. -Sam Keen Gifimage 11. He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you. -Bob Marley Giphy 12. You can't make someone love you, all you can do is be someone who can be loved, the rest is up to the person to realize your worth. -Unknown Gifimage 13. For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it. -Ivan Panin Tumblr 14. From every human being there rises a light that reaches straight to heaven. And when two souls that are destined to be together find each other, their streams of light flow together, and a single brighter light goes forth from their united being. -Unknown Giphy Some of the people who are pushing you to date may be well-meaning friends. But don't give in to peer pressure. If you feel that there's something wrong about the decision you're about to make, follow your gut. If you you see red flags on the person you're dating, don't turn a blind eye. It will not go away. Discern. Pray. Never lower your standards. Never compromise your non-negotiables. The person that's meant for you will come at the perfect time. Trust me. I've been there. I was waiting for what seems like forever. In my waiting I stayed calm. I rest on God's promise. I enjoyed my time alone and spent time with the people who matter to me. Trust God's timing. Don't stop believing in love. It's a wonderful feeling to fall in love. 15. Keep falling in love with the idea of love. Don't let your past hurts taint the way you see love. When you feel like the enemy is trying to dampen your spirits again, remember that only God can satisfy you fully. Don't seek happiness from another. Happiness is an inside job.

Dateless on Valentine's Day or not, live in the moment. Be genuinely happy where you are. Remember: if you're not happy being alone, you won't be happy in a relationship. Happiness comes from within and not from other people. Giphy Appreciate the untroubled life of being dateless. No pressure. No worrying about what you're going to wear, what gift you're going to buy your partner, or how you're going to surprise them. No hassle. The trip to the restaurant could be challenging with the number of people who will also be out on Valentine's Day. No problem. Don't listen to the lies of marketing telling you to buy flowers or be out there with everyone else. If you're only going out on a date because you're scared to be dateless on Valentine's Day, then what's the point? Learn to enjoy your own company, because if you won't, who else will?
