When we had our 1973 14x60 Fleetwood, I had a lot of roof leak problems, especially when it snowed a lot and it was quite cold. One time a bunch of water started coming in through the roof-mounted swamp cooler. It was dammed up behind ice dams and was more than 6" deep at the cooler! I chopped openings in the ice dams and then put an electric heat cable across the mobile home roof at the low point. I also had some problems with small leaks at the joints between the metal roofing sheets. I found that covering those joints with the fabric tape and then coating the whole roof with Snow Roof cured most of those leaks. But I had to recoat the roof at least every other year or it would leak somewhere. Our old mobile home sure didn't owe us anything--it was mighty cheap living for a lot of years. When we finally built a new house about 10 years ago, I had a terrible time getting rid of it. For a while, I wondered if I would have to pay someone to haul it away. But then I more or less gave it to a young couple with 3 little kids who needed it badly. It was in reasonably good shape, and the last I heard, they were still living in it. But if I ever get another mobile home, I want one with a more steeply sloped roof that I would not have to fool with so much. And 6" thick walls, so it would hold the heat better. But then I doubt that I could get such a home for the $8000 I paid for the 73 either. Have a good one!

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
