Black plums to blackberries; Meyer lemons to Bing cherries... From 19th Street to Roosevelt and back: has any other had my childhood haunts? Dogshit and ghost poop, then crabgrass, juniper, and kingsfoil through the fern-framed North gate... In the front, on the sidewalk, bottlebrush to stick to your shoes blossoms - little and red... (Apologies to Alanis for being another to call her on list-like writing...)

$20K: The Renovated "Way Family Housing Capital Campaign"

UPDATE: I am refocusing and repurposing this ask to the tune of $20,000 - now, after a bombshell conversation with my brother (who owns the property), about what's really feasible and desirable... Thank you all for your patience to date! Anyway, now we are definitely looking to defray the costs of removing the old mobile home, which is fast becoming unlivable, and to replace it with one or more structures... As long as the primary domicile is at least 740' sq., it can have a certificate of occupancy in our county (Colusa, about an hour North of  Clearlake, half an hour West of the I-5 through Maxwell, and five miles - at least our house is - from Stonyford, an entrance to Mendocino National Park.) We have two acres to work with, and are currently in the "shopping and browsing" phase of our re-do:

- Zipkithomes.com
- Pmhi.com
- Linwoodhomes.com/Home-Kits
- Lpfranch.hilinehomes.com/Plumas/plans
- Aidomes.com (the neighbor up the road has an earlier version from the 80s, you know, the ones you'd find in the back of Popular Science.)

We might also instead to a custom stick home.... LOOK AT THIS COUNTRYSIDE:
