Thank you for the video. I just purchased my first home, which is a 1983 mobile home in Washington state. I have plenty of future projects that I plan on doing over time. One being improving and strengthening the foundation so that I can do some remodeling insde.
Sounds great! I have done other remodeling projects on my home including a bathroom reno, dining room and utility room renos. Turned a spare bedroom into a library/office also.
This was very helpful and helped me understand further what you had done in your first video. I will use this to put a cinder block skirting/foundation under my small cottage.
Nope, I missed it. But I have been smelling a foul odor in the air these past few nights and an awful howling, not canine. Creepy. I will put the trail cams out to see if they capture an image. Stay tuned.
At 5 ft spacing for the support blocks under the home I wonder if your floor is solid with no squeaking etc. I also have done 5' spacing for my cinder block support pillars. Thanks.
Working by myself with my wife helping from time to time, it took me a solid month, hand digging the trench, laying in the concrete then applying the mortar to the blocks.

Hello I enjoyed this video I do have a question. Can this be done on a mobile home that is pre-existing that has already been place on land and lived in for years. Or does this have to be done prior to placing. The home on the ground when first received ? I do know the axiels are still on my home not sure if the wheels are. I am.asking because I recently learn you can turn your manurfactured home into real property rather then personal property. Only with foundation that is up to guidelines. ( I bought my parents 1995 mobile home in S.C flipped it completely updated everything inside )
I'm going to give you two links which may answer your question: www.huduser.gov/portal/Publications/PDF/foundations_guide.pdf themortgagereports.com/72312/converting-a-manufactured-home-to-real-property
If you put a mobile home on a permanent foundation it's then valued like real property. However, legally it is titled unlike an actual home. So for valuation purposes its real property, but legally is still a manufactured home on a permanent foundation.
I am a brick mason and I walkways tell my clients to go head and spend the extra money instead of just doing a brick or block skirt which does not add any foundation support, it will be tree times more expensive but well worth the money.
No, galvanized steel straps will not readily rust in concrete because the zinc coating on the steel acts as a sacrificial anode, protecting the underlying steel from corrosion by slowly corroding itself instead; this means that while some minor zinc oxide may form, the steel itself will remain largely rust-free within the concrete environment. I did read your comment.
I bought 31 acres and a 1972 mobile home came with it. Codes? LMAO! There's no building inspector in the town right now. I don't even care. Interior renovations are happening. I know what I'm doing. Fought these battles before. I'll be doing this kind of skirting. Before I do that and the new log cabin siding THEN I will check with the town. My skirting all around is like the front of your home. My home is pre-1976 so it's a party baby! LOL! I would have used window screen, not that. You'll still get bugs with that screen.
If I knew about window screen seven years ago I would have used it instead of rebar. My path way in front of the house will have window screen to strengthen the cement instead. Thanks for watching and best of luck with your remodel. I just did my bathroom, already did the living room, turned a bedroom into a library, cool room, remodeled a bedroom, dining room and getting ready to do the kitchen. Oh, also the utility room is remodeled. Saving the master bedroom and bathroom for later. Check out those videos on my Homestead Building Projects link. Could be very useful for your new adventure.
@@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319 9 months later! Both bedrooms are done. Totally gutted the rest down to the studs and joists. Bathroom is the focus right now. I totally gutted it to the point I ripped out the interior walls and reframed it. Plumbing is almost done. Once the water heater and well pump are permanently installed I can get it drywalled. Livingroom is already drywalled except for the ceiling. I just installed my mini-split for heat and A/C. Next steps are insulating the ceiling (rockwool only) and the bathroom walls, then all the drywall can be installed. The bathroom was a huge project because it needed total gutting. The worst part was all the mouse infested insulation in the ceiling. OMG. The last two windows are going in this week.
Here is another video on this projects: but the cost was whatever I sold the axles for of the unit and the vintage toy tank on ebay. Also collecting additional block for free from estate clean ups. This foundation did not cost me anything. BUT if you were to spend cash I would guess about under two grand. Ok, here's that video I promised th-cam.com/video/g92l1aflpsg/w-d-xo.html
I love how you used your decorative block for your utility hookups! Thank you for all the wonderful information! Stay safe and God bless! 💕✝️
You are so welcome!

@@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319 That's so great. I plan on doing a lot of the same with my home, plus adding a bedroom onto the home.
Wow you did everything yourself that's really cool. My frost line here in Pennsylvania is between 36 to 48 inches.
I do understand that they can get darn deep the further north you get.
Thank you so much for clearing this up
You're very welcome!

Very impressive!!!
Thank you!
Ummm does anyone else see a shadow critter run by at about 11:42

Installed by referring to this manual and inspected by the code inspector. www.oregon.gov/bcd/codes-stand/Documents/md-2010omdisc-codebook.pdf
@@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319 Thank you so much I was just wondering from personal experience if your floor is solid with no squeaking.
Great Job great info very detailed thank you so much
Glad it was helpful!
How long did this take you from start to finish. It's to bad all homes aren't installed this way
Working by myself with my wife helping from time to time, it took me a solid month, hand digging the trench, laying in the concrete then applying the mortar to the blocks.
@@pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga8319 well done!!!.
What was the website used to determine regulatory requirements for various areas. Thanks

So the new foundation is not anchored?
Every four feet according to code and passed by the code inspector.
I cannot find the first video in your list. Can you help me? I would love to watch it too.
Hope this is what you are looking for. th-cam.com/video/g92l1aflpsg/w-d-xo.html

Yes, you may do it to replace your mobile home skirting.
So now that you have a cement block foundation, is it still considered a mobile/manufactured home? Or a single family home?

I was poor at the time, and for code, this passed.
If the bugs can't go in, how thr squirrel get in

How much u spend on your project 🤔
