How neat. That looks like such a cute small town. Amazing how the driver so easily moves the sides to align them and the machine gets the few extra inches. That company did a great job. 😊👍
Looks like a neat little town! Love all the trees!
Looking to move an 87 doublewide in great condition! I pray it goes this way!!!💖
How did it go?
Did it work?
How’d it go?
What company did you have move it?
It would appear that Kristin Kerten has passed away from us. To a different state.
i was just recently forced to relocate to a new town and happened to find an '80 something double wide kinda on short notice pretty cheap. im glad i found something and its in decent shape but, i wasnt wanting to move period let alone hours away to a different town. i have no intention of staying in the town but im stuck with the trailer now so im just hoping i can get a small piece of land back in my original hometown and get moved back. selling isnt an option right now. problem is finding some land and hoping i can find someone to move it a couple hundred miles, then paying more to move it than i paid for the trailer in the first place.
I'm planning on moving one soon. I am hoping it works out so I can build a basement and put it on it.
Thanks for sharing this. I was trying to figure out some options, and if it would be possible to move a double-wide. The previous owner of mine actually went to the trouble of pouring a concrete basement to attach it onto. It is so incredibly sturdy now.
This is what I want to do in Ga
What part of GA? We are hiring
I have never had a video playing such calming music stress me out as bad as this one did when that very confident driver wedged the two pieces of your home together the way that he did. I was very anxious and very impressed. 😂
It was a very nervous day watching the entire process!
Wow! That’s so cool to watch. Do you think the process would be similar to relocate an existing modular/prefab home?
It's the same process just a few a little different equipment and a little pricier but my only advice is make sure whom ever moves the home is state certified and insured. If not then you will not pass fire or electric inspections and if something happens while they are moving your home then it will not be paid for.
Interesting. But I was hoping the whole move would be covered including removing the siding, separating and rejoining the 2 halves. What all that took.
This is amazing
i hope the movers fixed the insulation between the halves befor they were done.
Of course!
I am looking to move a double wide here soon. Only 6 miles. Lol hoping i can get it for around 10k including dirt work setup and teardown
This gave me a little anxiety but great job!
Reminds me of Adrian Missouri where my Aunt lives
How much was the cost to move that? Looking to do the same. Any advice ? Thank you
Where would you go to learn about the business of moving homes?
That's pretty cool! Looks like a lot of work. Did you remove everything from the house first?
We didn’t remove everything but did take out a lot of the heavier items.
Hi, Ballpark - how much do they charge for clearing the land and setting up the concrete support underneath?
What company did you use?? I'm looking for someone to move my double wide
We used Stout Mobile Home Movers
How much did you pay for this?
I’m looking to move my 08 double wide soon my question is did everything go back together correctly? No crack ceiling or sheet rock wall cracks?
We had awesome movers! Everything went back together perfectly!
@@RockyHedgeFarm thank you
@Ethan Poole It depends on how far you move the home. Now I could be wrong, but the home in the video dosent have plastic wrapping covering the open halves, so it probably didn't go very far, idk. Homes that have a long trip are covered and braced usually in the open halves. I just had a 32x80 moved to my home, took 6 hours to get to my home from the dealer. My home is drywalled, and we did have some cracks in places on the drywall, and a ceiling crack. Now remember this was a 6 hour trip, and so that's to be expected. But no breaks or chunks lost in the drywall. But some areas will need to be repaired and painted by finish out crew. Also lost some shingles in a few spots that will be replaced. My movers where good, but they don't control cracks, that just really the distance and terrain, etc.
Cracks are to be expected in drywall from long trips though, and also the quality of the home materials plays a factor.
Good luck.
What year was your home built?
2002
How much did this whole process cost ?
I can tell you you don't want to know the answer to that question
it isn't cheap. It cost several grand and that will vary depending upon your mover and all that it is involved. The largest portion of the expense was the dirt work and concrete runners.
Do all double wides need to be cut in half like that to move ?
Yes
Has anymore been done since 12/20?
Yes, and I need to update on all of that!
They didn't plastic the ends off? Why not?
Are you talking about putting the vinyl back on? If so, we opted to do that ourselves as it saved money.
I was thinking the same thing but it looks as tho it was moved a short distance and was going to be complete same day so I could see skipping the plastic extra work for no real reason
@@RockyHedgeFarm when moving a double wide your supposed to use thick plastic to cover the exposed parts of the home and to make sure if it was to rain no water gets inside your home.
How long the process takes
They did the tear down and set up in one day.
How much does delivery cost
That will vary depending upon the mover.
@@RockyHedgeFarm give me a ball park figure
@@doobiesnacksog4697 in ky single wides start at around 2k if it's an easy pull and drop situation the harder the move is the more money it cost if extra equipment is needed to help move.. double wide start at around 8k and upwards of 15k I've seen 20k jobs but it just depends on where it's going and how much equipment is needed. You also haft to factor in the cost of inspections and certification stickers so always make sure the movers are state certified and insured.
Where do you live?
We are in Missouri
@@RockyHedgeFarm im investigating (or at least considering) what it would take to move my newer fully taped and textured manf home from washington state to the outskirts of st. Louis
Id love any tips and tricks you learned along the way like what you had to do to prepare the home and how much had to be done to the inside after it was reassembled.
I have no idea if its even feasible cost wise since it would be being moved 6 states away.
From what im seeing so far, im going to have to set it onto a poured foundation. I haven't seen any videos yet of one being set onto one.
@@stashagarcia101 I image that would be extremely exspensive to move because movers may start charging by the mile. However, we only went a very short distance so we didn't have to do as much preparation.
@@RockyHedgeFarm thank you i was afraid of that. I did find one almost identical to the one i own that is already set up so im buying it. We go to close in 4 days so im leaving here in the morning to drive over for the close and get the ramps built on. Then ill drive the six states long drive back so i can pack and sell everything and finally move. Pray for traveling mercies. Im in a wheelchair andcwill be driving alone
Hi there, I have a 1991, doublewide, wind zone 2, mobile home and i want to relocate it some 250 miles away from where it is now, any suggestions?? thanks
