The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

Notes -
A-frames suck. You don't have to build three walls out of four, but the roof surface is huge, and it gets hot as balls there.
A mobile home should be fine. Is it possible to buy a used double-wide, or are they impossible to take apart?
Why not build a regular home instead of building an A-frame? Something small, like 8m by 6m (500 sq ft), should be pretty buildable alone, you just need some aid to raise the walls after building them and to construct the rafters. If you can afford prefab trusses, you can save yourself a lot of pain.
A frames were moderately popular where I grew up, but that was a state known for cool temperatures and lots of rain. So I would say the heat issue depends on the climate.
