I’m getting two set up, trying to start renting mobile homes out, but starting with barely any money so doing all I can on my own. I got the dirt and all ready, but when I move it on what do I need to do? Like do I need a tarp underneath, how many blocks do it needs to be set up on, anchors, or whatever? I’m having someone (a 50yr old friend) do it that used to do it before all these restrictions came into place. They are both single wides.
It depends on where the home is going to be placed and what your state and county requires. Are you going to have a well and septic tank? If so, the health dept permit will tell you how high you have to place the home. If its in a certain flood zone, then you may have to do engineered pilings. If its high and dry out in the country, then you should be able to do dry stack blocks. In Florida the home has to be 18 inches above the highest point under the home to the bottom of the frame. So it mostly depends on you local building dept requirements. Dont do anything until you have full permit approval so you know what they require of you. - Tom
@@VanLifeStorytelling You are closer to GA and up there I think its some sort of Red Dirt. You can ask local Liscensed "Mobile Home Setter" and he would know for sure.
I didn't realize you could set a mobile home with just a skid steer. This is giving me the probably bad idea of trying to set my mobile home myself when I get one on my land lol
The LBR rating on the dirt we use allows compacting with skid steer tracks. The shell rock packs down hard and the ABS pads distribute the weight. We have never had to re-level a home so far....
And the plastic ...!???? On the top on the pad, DID YOU FORGET....! I'M ASKING, LIKE YOU ARE SHOWING IS THAT THE PROFESIONAL WAY TO DO IT? To prevent mouister

What does this work cost to set the home and put it together?

How many trucks loads did you use for the pad.
It was 4 truckloads of shell rock
Where is the video showing joining the two halves, and connecting the plumbing?
Great video and what kind of dirt need you purchase? Was it compacting gravel or caliche base? Thanks.
Here in Florida we use mostly Shell Rock that is mined at about 50 feet below the surface. That is usually what we use as construction grade dirt.
@@TomNardoneMillionaireMailman I am in north Florida and thanks and not sure anyone in the Tallahassee area sells shell rock here but will ask.

@@TomNardoneMillionaireMailman That is great advise. Thanks.
I didn't see the water tap or the main sewer drain. Thought these had to go in before anything else. Am I missing something?
The water and sewer get run to the new homes after it is Blocked, leveled and tied
Do double wides need concrete runners or is this rock fine
That is a double wide
@@johnnyybarra2110 obviously lol
No pier footers and vapor barrier?
That gets installed later when they are jacking it up and setting the blocks
No moisture barrier?

Be careful!
What area do you work in?
Anywhere from Orlando to Key West
@@TomNardoneMillionaireMailman thank you
You are doing a better job than Clayton Homes lol
The guys in my crew are really good!
Way to include your crew. Another of people would've just took the credit!
It is amazing how that mini dozer can move that house around with ease.
There are many different sizes of dozers - this one is super strong with a large engine.
@@TomNardoneMillionaireMailman uuuuuuhhhh...not really
House is on tires, not really impressive
No compaction?? Guaranteed movement

wow, great work!
Thanks!
Thank You!
A good equipment operator looks behind him when backing up. Enough said.
He's got a guide lol he's more worried about maneuvering the giant house he's attached to
And the plastic ...!???? On the top on the pad, DID YOU FORGET....!

Would be cool to see this from a drone and sped up 10X
Maybe one day I will get a drone - Good idea!
Not enough information
i move them with 4 ppl and rollers in pans lol and he said that’s a lot of work lol
It’s so hard to get thru watching videos where people can’t just shut up and film. Nobody needs the play by play 🤦♂️.
