Anyone know what "BCCode 116" means in windows error reporting? I’ve been having issues with my graphics card (both updated and rolled back drivers–no help). I underclocked it and downloaded omega drivers and it seems to be doing a little better. This probably has something to do with the infamous nvlddmkm.sys error message I’ve been getting, as well. Thx in advance.

We were hoping that building a brand-new modular home would be the answer to our VERY frustrating and discouraging search for a new home.

But when my husband called the mortgage company today, they really burst that bubble! They say the interest rate will be higher on a modular. We are not talking "doublewides" here… My husband and I really had our eye on a couple of higher-end models that look as good as any other house I’ve ever seen. Better, even!

So, why the higher interest rate? And how much higher would it be? My dear husband did not press her for answers, but I want to know. Thanks…

I have found the perfect modular home and had plans of putting it on permanent foundation, getting the option of full drywall, and have brick foundation as opposed to block. All of which fool you into thinking the home was built on-site. However, due to problems with finding land without deed restrictions, etc., I may be forced to look into other options. To get the exact flooplan I want, I would rather stick-build. But is this the most cost-effective option? Are there ways to save money in stick-building as opposed to modular. I’m on a rather limited budget!

I noticed that people have said you have to register a modular home with the DMV. Is this required of all modular homes? Even if they are set on a permanent foundation? How much does this cost? What is involved? Do you pay personal property taxes on a vehicle? Do you get car insurance? I have no idea…

I realize modular homes are a lot cheaper that stick built homes, but beside buying a piece of land to put it on, what other costs are there? How much does it cost for freight, set up, foundation, etc, etc? Is there a rule of thumb like a dollar amount per square foot or something like that?

Modular Home Plans

In all actuality, the modular home is a relatively new development. They began as your basic mobile home that became so popular at the end of World War Two when all of the returning GI’s returned home needing a place to live. Also, with the country expanding out into its interior regions so quickly, modular home floor plans were basic and plain.

Early Spartan Designs

Granted, in the early years and even on up through the 1960s and 1970s modular homes gained a well earned reputation for spartan designs. There were several reasons for this, including a need to keep them highly affordable and light.

Amazing New Changes

However; over the course of the past three decades and particularly during this last decade, truly visionary engineers and designers have collaborated to bring about amazing new changes.

The Exact Look and Feel of Polished Granite

For instance, new materials such as new light faux polished polymer counter top materials duplicate the look and feel of polished granite and marble completely, only without the weight and expense.

Todays Modular Home Designs

Also, new modular home plans techniques have enabled today’s modular home manufacturers to build them much larger and make more efficient use of the living space. In fact, luxury amenities such as jacuzzi tubs and steam saunas are now available in todays modular home.

Still Highly Affordable

One huge barrier that has been crossed in modular home designs is modular homes that don’t even look like modular homes. In fact, these new modern modular homes qualify as a custom home by any measure of the term. However; in spite of all the changes that have occurred in todays modular home designs, they have still remained just as affordable.

My husband and myself have bad credit. We recently bought 20 acres on owner contract and would like to eventually put a house on it. We thought we could save the cash and build a log home but after helping my dad build his log house we are deciding we would probably rather just buy a triple wide modular or such. We also have not been so successful yet at saving (we built a huge shop with an apartment). Now we think we would like to somehow finance a triple or such. What kind of options do we have. Any advisors out there have any advice for a starting point. Thanks.
