Suns split 2/2 on Eastern road trip

Pink or not this is a Suns blog at the moment. They did beat N.J. on Saturday. It was not in splendid fashion, but they won. How would you like to win a factory built home? I'm not handing out any free one's, but it sounded good anyway. Suns play back to back games against the Denver Nuggets. Those are very important games. I guess they all have been important. The race is very tight in the west. San Antonio is once again in the driver's seat. Can you believe that? I don't. I believe in factory built homes. I also believe that I am done with this blog right after I throw out one last factory built home. There you go. Until next time, pinkie...

Suns crush 76ers!

Perfect! Great dominating performance by the Suns on Friday night. They crushed the 76ers!

Just for that, lets all run out and buy a factory built home right now! Joy! I am still curious about the results of our great Phoenix home show. I'm betting the turnout was less than stellar. AHA pumped a whopping $95K budget into this event. Will the results be worth it? Not hardly. The way they've been doing the same thing for the past god knows how many years is sad. This year it was obvious we were setting ourselves up for disaster. I'd like a confirmation on that! The factory built home industry is lying flat on its back getting the shit kicked out of it by a big bully called recession. All we can think of is to do the same thing as every year and hope for the best? For shame. It might be a good time to step outside of the box. Here's our idea for next year- instead of having the home show at the old State Fairgrounds, do it at the new Cardinals Stadium. Too bad we pissed away that $95K on this year's flop. That money would've come in handy in order to afford a huge spectacle at UofP stadium! Oh, well. Maybe 2 years from now, then? Come on Factory built home industry. Rise up!

Sun will win tonight!

I think the Suns will win this game against Philly tonight. They have to be pissed after losing a B.S. game to Detroit and then being blown out by the Celtics on Wednesday. Usually they come out and kick some team's ass when they have a run of bad luck, so we'll see how they come out in tonight's game. Factory built homes will not attend the game in Philadelphia.

I won't be there either. I will see part of it on TV. Maybe listen to it in the truck while I drive to the gig. Factory built homes should not be on my mind at this point.

I will play the drums, drink beer, and enjoy the scenery without uttering a single phrase like factory built homes. But it blogs well...

SUNS ROBBED!

If you saw the game I was trying so hard to get home and watch last night, you know the Suns were robbed. Very poor referee-ing (is that a word?)... how about poor officiating? Whatever. The Suns should have won the game, but a series of bad calls down the stretch ended their 7-game win streak. That totally sucked.

OK- there are 10 blogs to blog and only so much time in a day. Here we go: factory built homes are the new wave. Speaking of factory built homes, AHA had their anual spring home show a couple of weeks ago. Anyone know if there was a good turnout? I am very curious to know how many people came out to view the homes. I'm betting not very many... We'll see. I can't wait for the next AHA meeting- I hope they have the figures. Factory built home sales are languishing along with all others at the moment. No amount of 'economic stimulus' is going to right whats wrong. Its going to take a while. Dig in, people...

Pinkie

Whoa... I have been using a different template for each blog thusfar, and this one is really pink! I didn't realize just how pink until viewing the full site- dang. This one has a good name. Factory Built Homes. I like that one. Definitely sounds good, doesn't it? The other one folks in our industry started using is Factory Constructed Homes. I think we'll do one with that exact name as well. Here in Arizona, the powers that be changed the name of our local MHI from MHIA (Manufactured Home Institute of Arizona) to AHA (Arizona Housing Association). The apparent goal of changing the name is to erase the manufactured home part from people's physhe. Housing is Housing whether built on site or in a factory. Truth is, EVERYBODY knows the difference, and most will continue to believe the factory built homes are inferior to site built. Hard to get around... Our industry is just going to have to come up with something site built homes have not done yet. We need a product that home buyers will view as so unique and desirable that they will not be phased by the fact it is factory built or not. Thats the fact.

Homes are built better in a factory!

At least thats what I'm sayin'! Being as though Black Hawk Homes is a leading retailer of factory built homes in Arizona, it only makes sense for me to proclaim that this is the best way to go! Its good for our business, man. Many folks out there will disagree. Some may even scoff at us. But I'm telling you right now, a home that is factory built is better! Well, lets say it has the potential to be better, how's that?! The thing that people have to remember is that manufactured homes are supposed to be 'affordable housing'. Since thats our m.o., we go with it. The homes nowadays wind up looking a certain way- like a manufactured home, basically. They are built to be cheap. Now, when I'm talking about factory built homes as being better than site built, I mean that the process is more efficient and its done in a controlled environment. Because of this, we can produce homes that limit wasted materials, eliminate vandalism, control quality, and control the weather! In the case where homes are being built in a way that is not necessarily the cheapest path ( a modular home, for example), then you really see how a home built in a factory can be better than a site-built AND offered at a lower price!
