I want a "Tiny Living by 84 Lumber" House!
I've never given 84 Lumber much thought. After their fantastic commercial I looked for some background.
Joe Hardy opened first store in Eight-Four Pennsylvania in 1956.
Daughter Maggie Hardy Magerko took over in 1992. ("Joe Hardy passed 40 percent of the company stock to Maggie that year as well, and added another 40 percent the following year"
Apparently they were hit hard by crash. From Wikipedia:
84 Lumber suffered great losses in sales when the housing market crashed in 2009. Limitless spending on a family-owned resort, poor store site selection and a massive debt in account receivables also contributed to difficult financial conditions for the company.
On the brink of bankruptcy, Hardy Magerko leveraged her own personal finances, closed stores and laid off thousands to prevent the company from going bankrupt. With the help of the market, Magerkos efforts ultimately proved to be successful...
Most recently, 84 Lumber introduced Tiny Living by 84 Lumber, its new line of portable homes. With competitively-priced, customizable homes under 200 square feet, Tiny Living strives to appeal to the environmentally and economically friendly do-it-yourselfer.
