My brother was in the mobile home manufacturing business. There’s so much that goes into actually building one. He designed & built so many homes & was excellent at his job. He made sure only the best quality of materials were used, as well as the building of them had to be perfectly constructed. He was out on the lot helping direct a mobile home to be backed up closer to another one & the driver wasn’t watching what he was doing & backed over my brother & he ended up with a crushed spine. Unable to work afterwards, the company went out of business. It was Skyline Mobile Homes. He really loved his job & it’s very sad that happened to him. 😢
This was awesome! Thank you. When I was a kid, Mr. Rogers would do these episodes where he showed how things were made. They were always my favorite. This reminded me of that. So satisfying.
Wow brought back a lot of memories. I worked in a mobile home plant for 20yrs. Our homes were built totally inside from start to finish with one jog in the line. It's not an easy job. At our prime, we were building 8 floors a day. Whew.
It is very impressive to think that not only was the house built in seven days, but it was designed and built to survive traveling on roads and highways that shake a lot of site-built houses to pieces!
I started out at a mobilehome factory in 1972 building homes. At that time, before HUD standards we built about 4 to 7 homes A DAY. Since HUD standards were implemented in 1976 the process has slowed. Better materials, better building standards and codes, better quality all enters into it now. I retired from the mobile/manufactured industry in 2003.
This is really awesome to see, my ex husband worked for a builder in Michigan and the home we had me and the kids got to go in several different times to see it in the different stages was very neat to watch and we loved it even more when it was done 😊
I have to say that was pretty neat watching one being built like that. There is a lot of work and people to actually build one of these homes. Thanks for sharing with us !!!!! Hope you have a wonderful weekend Chance !!!!! ❤️❤️🥰
Thanks, Chance! That was interesting.I'd love to see more about the type of materials used in the house. 2x6s vs 2x4s, types of floors, how tiles are installed and stuff like that. In other words, more details. 😁
I worked for Champion Homes in Weiser, ID in 1990-92. It was about the time when trailer houses became manufactured homes. Depending on the house, we typically used 2x6 in floors and walls. Interior walls were typically 2x4, sometimes 2x2 for small walls. 2x2 roof rafters, unless it required heavier for snow loads. Black iron for gas lines, 14/2 Romex wiring, fiberglass bat insulating for walls and floor, rock wool for ceiling. I worked in the “tie down” area where we fitted one exterior wall and the roof system. I had to walk the rafters tying in all interior walls to every rafter they crossed with 3” wood screws. We typically could build a complete house in two days (16 hours). In the two years I worked there, I learned every job in the plant. I really liked that job.
Interesting quick tour. I would like to see more detail from naked frame to the insulation, before they put the subflooring on. What is under the insulation?
@@conureron3792 I work for that company and build these homes and it's 1 day to build these homes sometimes less from start to finish we r building 10 homes a day
Very helpful. I’d love to see you do a series focusing on each part of the home - how it’s built, and how the new owner should maintain or repair things as their home ages. Stuff like “all about your home’s windows: how they are built and how to keep them like new” or “how your roof was made and how to make it last”. I’m sure that I’m not the only one who would like a clear guide on how to keep a new mobile home in top notch shape, and you and your factory contacts could give valuable expert advice and info.
This is NOT how I thought this happened!!! I have no idea exactly how I thought mobile homes were made, this just isn't it. I do have to say that the final product was beautiful & so clean looking! And thank you Winston Homes! ❤️
Hey Chance! Great video! For future videos, I'd like to see a few more things: 1) more in-depth looks at how the subflooring, flooring, walls, roof are built 2) insulation - this is a must to see. A lot of people don't think about this when buying a home but it's so important! Better insulation means lower heating and cooling costs and less (or even no) outside noise. 3) how the interior walls are put together and how they are attached 4) watching appliances, tubes, toilets, sinks, cabinets, etc. being installed 5) seeing how the exterior finishes are done 6) then, later, maybe the process of ordering the home showing different options flooring, cabinets, colors, etc. are chosen, transportation to the buyers property and set up of the home 7) how a modular home is different from a manufactured home and any differences in the process of set up Wow, I'm sorry, I didn't realize how long that list was. I was only brainstorming haha. This video is great as an introduction/overview of the process. Hoping for more!
Chance..Thank u for taking us to see how they are made...all the craftsmanship of their work goes unnoticed ....wow it was awesome....Thats right we need each other..God Bless
I would love to see a modular home built and also them trimming it out on a sight. Like how they merry the carpeting and the flooring in the kitchen and stuff. Kinda cool process. Thanks Chance!
Hi Chance this was awesome it give me a full understanding about how my Clayton home was built thanks for this tour I just moved in my new Clayton home and I'm loving it great job peace out 👸🏽🤩💞👍🏽👏🏽
We actually have been trying to arrange a tour of Winston... we recently bought a Helicon3.0... the home has been set up for 5 months now and the Winston team just finished up our "punch list" and I couldn't be happier. In a previous video you named Winston your #1 home builder. Now, I completely agree.
@Lucinda Mobley Pounders I'm sure many of these things can be discussed with the dealer when you're ordering the home. I know, if I was to choose a manufactured home, I would work with the dealer and discuss my needs and wants. Better subflooring -- plywood, not cheap stuff, better quality insulation and more of it (saves on the heating and cooling costs in addition to cutting down on the noise), add insulation in the interior walls, flooring choices, customizing the kitchen cabinets, redesigning the bathroom to suit my needs, etc. So many things are up for negotiation; maybe not everything I want but certainly a lot of it. Another option is modular homes that many dealers/manufacturers offer custom-built homes.
We bought our last home, a single wide wind zone 2 Cavalier 16x80 in 1995. It's still standing. We put a metal roof on it after hurricane Michael, although the original roof stayed intact only losing shingles which was expected in 150mph winds. Our new Winston is wind zone 3... it has 2x6 outer walls, 2x4 inner walls, floated drywall throughout, floor joists are 2x6 every 12 inches, which is stronger than the normal 2x8 every 16 or 24 inches... Our metal roof is standard.. For all the bang for our buck that we got from winston, 2280 Sq feet, we would have got half that in a stick built home, and it would have been bare minimum, plain as hell... no fireplace, live edge shelving, can lighting, more cabinets than the law should allow, a shower bigger than most people's entire bathroom,a walk in closet that is so large it has built in dressers.... My job driving a truck puts me going in to some high end neighborhoods that are still expanding... those homes that START at 300k are all 2x4 construction, and all outside walls are osb... so I wouldn't be so quick to discredit manufactured homes for using osb, cuz most stick built are doing the same thing. And, those stick built homes are being rained on constantly... now mold becomes an issue. My home was built in that facility in a controlled environment. Checkmate.
@@thecatlady6 all of those things are options. You can upgrade most everything. But it also raises the cost.... so if you can afford it, go for it! We upgraded several things on ours.
@Lucinda Mobley Pounders that's your choice. You don't have to like them or live in one. Yes, upgrades cost money. But, if it makes the home more livable for you, then it's worth it. Options and upgrades also cost you in site-built homes. Depending on where you live, you could pay $200K or even $300K or more. I live in Florida and, if I have a choice, it would be a manufactured home from one of the better builders. They are built, not to meet the state housing codes like site-built homes, but to exceed them. For example, site-built homes are built to withstand sustained winds up to 120 mph; manufactured homes up to 160 mph. That's a Cat 5 hurricane. There are so many stories about "regular" homes being destroyed and "tin can trailers" surviving with little to no damage. Any damage was usually awnings, porches, carports -- things attached to the home or adjacent to it. So, again, it's your choice. I was just saying that the things you said weren't in manufactured homes are available.
Chance, Thank you for sharing your tour of the manufacturing plant for Winston homes. It was fascinating to see how large a work area they cover in their construction and how many people are involved in the process of putting a home together. It was interesting to see what is involved in the underneath area including wiring, plumbing, walls cabinets, flooring, windows, doors. I was fascinated at watching how they lift and construct the roof and put the outside finishing on the house, like outside lighting, doors etc. Also was amazed how when they finished cabinets and tubs and floors they sparkled. Thank you again Chance for such a well done tour and explanation of the various aspects of completing a home. You are a master at this. Have a wonderful weekend. Kathy
Great video it's always nice to see exactly how they make these. If you do another one be sure to show how the CNC machines cut out the windows and doors and all the other things they do when making the walls.
My husband & I met you in Conway, AR while you were videoing a Franklin. I just watched your top 5 and I completely agree. We have been looking for about 3 years now. We have looked at Franklin, deer valley & Winston and all the models of all of them! We think we are going to be going with the new Helicon!! So excited!!
Chance, great video! We may want to show it to our prospects, if they are interested. I worked for Oak Creek in Lancaster, Texas for a short time until they decided I was not a good cold-call salesman. I’ve been in the community business since 2008 except for that short time at the factory.
Amazing video Chance, really liked it and they even built up one of my fav models ever, the gorgeous Helicon! Thank you, I hope you will post other videos like this from other manufacturers!
Thanks Chance for showing what's involved in putting these homes together. I love seeing things like this. If you get an opportunity in the future, it'd be great to show what's involved in transporting these homes to the owner's lot, to joining a double-wide together, putting on the roofing and skirting, to the final finished touches ready for the owners to move in.
Thank you for this tour Chance. And you are right you are part of a team when doing any job. But it kinda looked dangerous at this work site so be safe out there.
I thought I heard you wrong, so I played that part again. Built in 7 days??? WOW. Never thought it was that fast. Even with most of it built inside, just surprised how fast it's done. Thanks Chance for sharing and hope your see more inside of the construction on how these homes are built. Don't know if you can show them being delivered and set up. Just a thought.
I loved this video!! I love to see how things are made. This video reminds me of when Mr. Rogers would go see how things are made lol. Mr. Chance's Neighborhood y'all!
Thanks, that was cool. More interior shots would be good. More info on types of standard materials and what special materials maybe offered in certain areas would be nice to know like where you go over the outside between vinyl, rock, etc
I've always thought this process was so interesting. That it never makes sense why a stick built home takes so long and is so expensive, when these homes are so much more cost effective and built just as good... But depreciates so quickly. SMDH... Thanks for the tour Chance 💜💜💜💜
This was fun and it really let's everyone see the actual nuts and bolts (and electric and HVAC, etc.) of what goes into making these homes a reality for the people who buy them. I think you should make a video on the differences between a modular and manufactured home. A lot of times folks use those term interchangeably and I'm not altogether sure I understand all the differences myself. Thank you for this very cool "Field Trip"!
Modular is built to your local codes like a stick built, but it’s built in a factory and comes in panels. Now there is something called “off frame modular” and “on frame modular,” and I’m not sure what the differences there mean specifically. Manufactured is built to HUD (federal) code.
you all prolly dont care but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my login password. I love any help you can give me!
Thank you chance! I really enjoyed this video. I love to see the process of how the homes are built. Maybe one day, you could do a video on how one is set up. Thanks again, great job!
That was interesting. Thanks for sharing! Would be great to see a double wide delivered and placed on a site. How they connect it together to make one home.
I'm very familiar with how RVs and park models are made in the factories. I really enjoyed seeing how these homes are made. Please continue showing us these unique videos.
Kudos to Winston Homes for letting you tour and video their operation. Very very interesting to see the process. 7 days was impressive. Yes, a lot of planning to obtain this time frame along with skills and talents to achieve. It would be fun to hear in more detail each step of the process thus having people understand how these homes are put together. Nice job Chance! Really enjoyed this video.
This video was interesting and informative. You did a great job! Let me suggest that if you decide to do a similar video, perhaps a more in-depth focus on various aspects of construction would provide an interesting show.
Great idea to show this!!!These homes are made just as good and sometimes better than some stick built homes (as they call them). New homes in subdivisions go up quick and rooms can be smaller!
Thanks Winston Homebuilders! Interesting to see the process. However, the walls look so thin with not much insulation and the floors look super thin too. Thanks Chance! Now, can you do a vlog on the buying and financing process.
Depending on where you live 2x4 walls are sufficient and still used as exterior walls even with big site-built homes depending on your location. You can always upgrade to 2x6s as well, thicker floors, etc. All new homes that are doublewide and a lot of single wides at the home centers in my area are all 2x6 and have upgraded roof loads to handle snowy winter conditions. Also because most mobile homes have lower ceilings heating and cooling is a lot less. I grew up in a 70s 3 bed 2 bath double wide, pre-HUD home, and my parents didn't have any problem with heating or cooling, and it wasn't expensive to do so.
This was Fascinating! Thanks for sharing. Cool to see so many upgraded interior design choices! Also just wow-factor when considering how efficient it is to make these in a plant where everything is controlled. So much less waste, and built incredibly fast! Compared to a stick-built house with the dozen or more trades, their schedules, cost overruns, etc. If only manufactured homes could come up with some other exterior options besides the ubiquitous single and double-wide design.
That was interesting to watch. You should see if somebody from Winston Holmes could answer some of the questions that people have been asking. My first thought while watching this was how hard their jobs would be in the summer heat.
That was so cool to watch the process of these homes being built. I've always wondered what it looks like and how it all comes together. One thing you missed- you should have done the pantry dance while they were building the pantry! Great job as usual Chance!
Looks like good starter video. For future build videos, please go more in depth on type of insulation used for floor, walls & roof. Also are the cabinets screwed or stapled together. What kind of barriers are used between the frame & insulation. Are the ceilings with lights strong enough to hold a ceiling fan. See of they will let do a walk through after hours. Great work so far. Looking forward to future videos.

This is a very sad story, unfortunately what happened to your brother in this particular case....
sorry to hear that bro
This was awesome! Thank you.

My wife is a project manager for a major home builder. And I can tell you these manufactured homes are built way better than the average track house
Wow, as someone who just ordered a new home this was very helpful. I understand the process better now, thank you!
Thank you!! I’ve never seen inside a mobile home factory, and how the homes are assembled!! Very educational
I’d love to see a single wide being made, freedom homes made ours and it had some flaws once we got it, but they came back and fixed it!!!
Im in process now on my single wide. Hoping for the best
It’s normal for the retailer to have to go out and make some fixes.
Thank goodness they made the repairs.
My husband says every day that it feels like we live in a swanky hotel room 😂
This was incredible, the sheer size of the operation is amazing. Those buildings must be massive.
YOU DID A WONDERFUL JOB OF SHOWING US THE HOME FROM START TO FINISH. IT IS SO AMAZING HOW THEY MAKE A HOME. . IT WAS A GOURGOUS HOME . THANK YOU ..
I've been wondering how they put these together... Winston is my favorite they make Beautiful homes! Good video ty chance for the information!
Thank you Winston Homes, and of course Chance for touring 💓😊. It's amazing to see how these come together 👍.
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching!
That was awesome. Takes so many people to put one of these homes together and everybody has a curtain job to do cool thank you !!
Been waiting for this one! 7 days is impressive😎🙌🏼
I love seeing the homes from start to finish!!! It really makes you appreciate the men that build the homes!!! Thank you so much!!!☺️

Fantastic!
This is really awesome to see, my ex husband worked for a builder in Michigan and the home we had me and the kids got to go in several different times to see it in the different stages was very neat to watch and we loved it even more when it was done 😊
I work at Fleetwood Homes in Nampa ID long time ago. These homes have changed a lot since than. Love to see all the beautiful homes.
I have to say that was pretty neat watching one being built like that. There is a lot of work and people to actually build one of these homes. Thanks for sharing with us !!!!! Hope you have a wonderful weekend Chance !!!!! ❤️❤️🥰
I would love to see them doing more of the inside and also see how you put a modular or double wide together
Thanks, Chance! That was interesting.I'd love to see more about the type of materials used in the house. 2x6s vs 2x4s, types of floors, how tiles are installed and stuff like that. In other words, more details. 😁

Wow, I'm impressed 7 days. Requires excellent team work to get it done. The home was beautiful! Thank you for sharing with us!😊
That really is fast! I wonder if that is for a standard floor plan? If there is a lot of customization- does that slow the process down?
Some factories can build even faster! It’s crazy to think about.
It's really build in 1 hour from start to finish we are building 10 house a day
@@conureron3792 I work for that company and build these homes and it's 1 day to build these homes sometimes less from start to finish we r building 10 homes a day
They build 7/daily
Tour a modular home plant, if you get the chance, Chance. I'd love to see how they build those kinds of houses!
What a lovely surprise, I really enjoyed watching the process, thanks.

A shout out to the workers also.
👍👍👍👍👍
That was fun. Nice job on your first go around. I've toured the Palm Harbor plant in Alabama, it was amazing. Thanks again, Chance. 👍👍👍😎
Thank you ! Very pleased to see the process. We are on WinstonHB's schedule for an 1800 sq ft home. Informative.
This is NOT how I thought this happened!!! I have no idea exactly how I thought mobile homes were made, this just isn't it. I do have to say that the final product was beautiful & so clean looking! And thank you Winston Homes! ❤️
The process that they’re using insures cleanliness…Tge process I imagined them using wasn’t anything like this…😎
Thanks for the tour and thanks to Winston Homes for letting you do it!
Great tour. So not the mobile homes of 50 years ago. Probably better built than the home I live in. Thanks for doing this, Chance!
I love your videos! I use them in my high school Housing and Interior Design classes. Your explaination of the proces in on point.
Hey Chance! Great video! For future videos, I'd like to see a few more things:
1) more in-depth looks at how the subflooring, flooring, walls, roof are built
2) insulation - this is a must to see. A lot of people don't think about this when buying a home but it's so important! Better insulation means lower heating and cooling costs and less (or even no) outside noise.
3) how the interior walls are put together and how they are attached
4) watching appliances, tubes, toilets, sinks, cabinets, etc. being installed
5) seeing how the exterior finishes are done
6) then, later, maybe the process of ordering the home showing different options flooring, cabinets, colors, etc. are chosen, transportation to the buyers property and set up of the home
7) how a modular home is different from a manufactured home and any differences in the process of set up
Wow, I'm sorry, I didn't realize how long that list was. I was only brainstorming haha.
This video is great as an introduction/overview of the process. Hoping for more!
Its amazing how they build these types of houses so fast and last longer than a stick built if taken care of the right way like anything else
Last longer than site built?? No they don't. Find me a 60, 40 hell even 30 year old trailer you want to live in. Not going to happen
Chance..Thank u for taking us to see how they are made...all the craftsmanship of their work goes unnoticed ....wow it was awesome....Thats right we need each other..God Bless

Thank you for this tour Chance. And you are right you are part of a team when doing any job. But it kinda looked dangerous at this work site so be safe out there.
That was interesting. Reminds me of the show, how its made. I really liked how clean it was.
Thank you ! It’s great to see how these Homes are made .
Never Seen This Process!!! I really Liked It!!!! Looking Forward To Mines Being built!!! Now I Got A Look Into How It's Done Thanks Chance!!!
Thanks chance this is nice to see how they are built
So cool to watch. I have lived in 2 single wides and 2 double wides all my life so far maybe one day I’ll live in a house. Thanks for doing this.
I thought I heard you wrong, so I played that part again. Built in 7 days??? WOW. Never thought it was that fast. Even with most of it built inside, just surprised how fast it's done.
Thanks Chance for sharing and hope your see more inside of the construction on how these homes are built. Don't know if you can show them being delivered and set up. Just a thought.
I loved this video!! I love to see how things are made. This video reminds me of when Mr. Rogers would go see how things are made lol. Mr. Chance's Neighborhood y'all!
Thank you Winston Homes! And Chance! Another great video!
Thanks, that was cool. More interior shots would be good. More info on types of standard materials and what special materials maybe offered in certain areas would be nice to know like where you go over the outside between vinyl, rock, etc
I've always thought this process was so interesting. That it never makes sense why a stick built home takes so long and is so expensive, when these homes are so much more cost effective and built just as good... But depreciates so quickly. SMDH... Thanks for the tour Chance 💜💜💜💜
This was fun and it really let's everyone see the actual nuts and bolts (and electric and HVAC, etc.) of what goes into making these homes a reality for the people who buy them.
I think you should make a video on the differences between a modular and manufactured home. A lot of times folks use those term interchangeably and I'm not altogether sure I understand all the differences myself.
Thank you for this very cool "Field Trip"!
Darn you didn't get to open up any cabinets. Ha ha
Modular is built to your local codes like a stick built, but it’s built in a factory and comes in panels. Now there is something called “off frame modular” and “on frame modular,” and I’m not sure what the differences there mean specifically. Manufactured is built to HUD (federal) code.
@@tanyahopper1883 Thank you! 💖🤗
@@pattisimmons67 you’re most welcome! ☺️
you all prolly dont care but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot my login password. I love any help you can give me!
Like poetry in motion, so neat to watch. Thanks for your hard work.
This was really exciting to see!! Can't wait to see more of this! Nice job, Chance.
Thank you chance! I really enjoyed this video. I love to see the process of how the homes are built.
Maybe one day, you could do a video on how one is set up. Thanks again, great job!
That was interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Would be great to see a double wide delivered and placed on a site. How they connect it together to make one home.
It takes some very talented people to do something like this 👌🙌👏❤
Would love to see how they do those fancy big tiled showers. Great job Chance!
Very cool! I really enjoyed this tour, its amazing that it can all be done in just a few days, too! Thanks, Chance, you have a blessed day!
Very intriguing. Thank you, Chance! 👍
Factory tours are great. Thanks for sharing Chance
My family and I really enjoyed this video. It's fascinating all that goes into building these beautiful homes
Artisans at work!! That was awesome to see. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this!
This whas really amazing to se how the homes are bildt
It's a big proces
Thank you that you showed us this
I'm very familiar with how RVs and park models are made in the factories. I really enjoyed seeing how these homes are made. Please continue showing us these unique videos.
Thanks for watching!
Kudos to Winston Homes for letting you tour and video their operation. Very very interesting to see the process. 7 days was impressive. Yes, a lot of planning to obtain this time frame along with skills and talents to achieve. It would be fun to hear in more detail each step of the process thus having people understand how these homes are put together. Nice job Chance! Really enjoyed this video.
This video was interesting and informative. You did a great job! Let me suggest that if you decide to do a similar video, perhaps a more in-depth focus on various aspects of construction would provide an interesting show.
Great idea to show this!!!These homes are made just as good and sometimes better than some stick built homes (as they call them). New homes in subdivisions go up quick and rooms can be smaller!
Thank you I always wondered how they built the Mobile home I really injoy it
Have a blessed day
This is the most important part of the home .I hope that you show more of how they make them.
Really glad you made this video. I always wondered what the process was from start to finish, now I know!
Wow that's awesome to see how a mobile home is built from start to finish, so amazing. Love watching your videos Chance.
Thanks! Great video Chance. I enjoyed seeing the process. Never knew how long it took , 7 days! Incredible! ♡
Thanks Winston Homebuilders! Interesting to see the process. However, the walls look so thin with not much insulation and the floors look super thin too. Thanks Chance! Now, can you do a vlog on the buying and financing process.
Depending on where you live 2x4 walls are sufficient and still used as exterior walls even with big site-built homes depending on your location. You can always upgrade to 2x6s as well, thicker floors, etc. All new homes that are doublewide and a lot of single wides at the home centers in my area are all 2x6 and have upgraded roof loads to handle snowy winter conditions. Also because most mobile homes have lower ceilings heating and cooling is a lot less. I grew up in a 70s 3 bed 2 bath double wide, pre-HUD home, and my parents didn't have any problem with heating or cooling, and it wasn't expensive to do so.
This was Fascinating! Thanks for sharing. Cool to see so many upgraded interior design choices! Also just wow-factor when considering how efficient it is to make these in a plant where everything is controlled. So much less waste, and built incredibly fast! Compared to a stick-built house with the dozen or more trades, their schedules, cost overruns, etc. If only manufactured homes could come up with some other exterior options besides the ubiquitous single and double-wide design.
Thanks for sharing!
What a great video! I had seen one similar several years ago, but this is an incredible video!
Thanks for posting it.
I enjoyed this video! Glad you toured the Winston plant...they are my favorite!! Take care 🌞
That was interesting to watch. You should see if somebody from Winston Holmes could answer some of the questions that people have been asking. My first thought while watching this was how hard their jobs would be in the summer heat.
Thank you for sharing this. Brings back memories. I used to do the trim for Palm Harbor mobile homes in their plant.
That was really cool! Thanks for sharing with us ☺👍
That was so cool to watch the process of these homes being built. I've always wondered what it looks like and how it all comes together.
One thing you missed- you should have done the pantry dance while they were building the pantry!
Great job as usual Chance!
Looks like good starter video. For future build videos, please go more in depth on type of insulation used for floor, walls & roof. Also are the cabinets screwed or stapled together. What kind of barriers are used between the frame & insulation. Are the ceilings with lights strong enough to hold a ceiling fan. See of they will let do a walk through after hours. Great work so far. Looking forward to future videos.
What an incredible operation
Hey Chance! That was pretty cool 😎thank you 😊 you take care and God Bless you and your family
Thank you! You too!
being on the maintenance side for 5 communities, I really appreciate your videos
Chance, Thanks to you, we are buying for Deer Valley..
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
