You should call it Roll onto instead roll over ! I was waiting for the mobile home to do some damage or something. but everything went just fine. Good job there boys !
Double wides are notoriously known for needing extra foundational inspections and re-leveling. The added basement idea here is really cool. Great job guys!
When I was a kid there was a vacant lot across the street. Someone came in and built a big garage there, but didn’t frame up the roof; it was just open on top. Then one day a crane showed up, followed by two halves of a manufactured home. The crane lifted up each half, setting it on the garage walls. By the end of the day there was a manufactured home garage apartment there, and as far as I know it’s still there today.
In Idaho, I had a double wide Marlette set on a foundation tall enough that I could walk upright under to service the underside about six foot, six inches. The benefit was creating a "cold" storage area. The unit had a pre designated area for a stairway, I made an access hatch to the underground area.
Access hole in closet is normally put in before rolling house over. Did lots of these over the course of my career in Alaska. And yes we put single wides, doubles and triples on foundations
I have installed Double wide, and Triple wide, mobile homes all across British Columbia, Canada, and on isolated villages, such as Kitkatla, and Hartley Bay. They are very easy to install and set up. Actually the way we built them, when inside you would not know, they are double or triple wides.
In the states mobiles are built to state standards, many (especially snow belt) are built to the same standards as stick built. Other states such as Florida and Arizona the standards are very lax , I lived in both, and the homes are sub par. Just saying look b4 you judge.
Pretty smart system for moving the house into place. There will be some minor repairs ro make, but it looks like a foos job. I'd like to see how it was finished up in prep for occupancy.
Kansas is never a go place for a M/H over anything. I had a friend in Ks. In a regular house. The Tornado alert radio alarmed the same time his roof went away.
@@iguanapete3809 I grew up in central Texas in a MH until I was 9, we saw funnels way in the distance, never anything close up. I never understood why my sister always freeked out and made us all go to the barn and into the well pump basement. Then I did clean up in April of 1979 at the Red River Valley outbreak. I called my sister and thanked her.
Used to push them on with a bulldozer and a cushion plank to minimize damage. Usually we'd do the big one's in two halves. Nice if the excavation contractor graded the side pads flat. We did our own, so they were always flat on all sides. Crane setting was way more expensive.
This is awesome, I currently have a manufactured home 4 br 2 bath on Brick foundation but I want to add a basement. Is it possible to move off the brick foundation to add basement?
@@johnf8877 the house was totaled! The vapor barrier underneath was all torn out and siding was destroyed. Then they dropped the house so deep that the foundation is blocking the doors from opening. What a shit show.
If you are looking in to manufactured homes, in other words mobile home, check to see what the builder uses for sub flooring. Saw dust and glue are not acceptable. My wife and I learned this the hard way. ANY moisture exposure and you will be replacing flooring. Plan ahead and pay for better quality up front and it will save you down the road.
The sheeting they use is called particle board and you are right it does not like water. That stuff actually works almost like a sponge and soaks the water up and it swells and disintegrates. This is what they use to build these, i don't know first hand if you can pay extra for plywood or at least osb board or not. But it could be an option if not then you may want to stick build.
There are different grades of mobile homes. Some have particular board sub flooring, 3/8 inch roll paper sheetrock and stripping. I call these “10 year mobile homes”. Some have 1/2 inch OSB sub flooring with both roll paper and painted sheet rock and stripping. I call these 15 years mobile homes. Some have 1/2 inch plywood sub flooring, painted 1/2 sheetrock and stripping. These are 20 years mobile homes. Then there are some with with 3/4 plywood sub floors, 16 inch center 2x6 exterior studded walls with 16 inch center 2x4 studded walls. Mudded and painted 5/8 sheet rock walls with crown molding, base board with toe kick. I call these a home. You can actually request and have these taken off of the steel framing, crane lifted and sat on a concrete foundation like a modular home. Both Clayton and Champion make every one of these grades of mobile homes. The last of these homes can last you a lifetime and cost well over $100,000. Their countertops look like solid surface countertops but they’re actually laminate. Beautiful homes but still not as good as a site built house.
The problem is there is a stigma attached to the whole idea of living in a 'mobile' - therefore if it looks like it is a 'mobile' you will be considered to be living in one regardless how well it is built. Before I bought my first house I looked at just about every cheaper alternative to a normal home that I could possible afford - almost bought a mobile on an acre because of the great land, then realised the likely limited timeframe for the not-considered-permanent home - so I resisted that & went for a very small 'real' house which needed work. Much the better choice since a few fixes & some decorating changed its' status easily !
@@veronicaroach3667 it’s actually not a problem and some people see no stigma of living in a mobile home. My wife and I raised our children in a double wide. Not everyone has the mindset that you’re speaking of. We lived in the county while raising our children but moved to the city limits about three years ago. We now own this small house but still own the mobile home and another one that is next door to the one that we lived in for over 30 years. For over 30 years we lived there and never had any problems. Since we have moved into the city, our car has been broken into 3 times. We now rent the 2 mobile homes to 2 nice families with strict lease rules. We plan on building a small house on the land that we own in the county when we retire. If anyone is ashamed of living in a mobile home, they have their nose stuck so far upward, they’ll drown if they get caught in the rain.
I use to do this for a living move and set up my boss bought a top of the line Norris double wide 28x80 58000 and the poured concrete basement was 11000 this was 18 years ago today's price is probably double that now.
I'm curious , I didn't see any anchors from the concrete basement floor rim to the house ?? is it just sitting on top of the concrete foundation with no anchors ??? usually things are bolted down..????....
A trailer has steel underneath, the steel beams running across from side to side is what the trailer is sitting on, not the basement walls. The walls of trailer will not support the trailers weight. Watch again, they made temporary steel beams to slide trailer across.......they were supported by steel jacks, once in place they lowered the temp beams until the trailer was sitting on the permanent steel beams My basement has support wall with wood beam and steel support poles anchored to basement floor.......if it had steel beam, it would not need steel poles anchored to floor....or not as many
Are those metal beams supposed to be enough to hold the entire structure up once it's lowered onto the basement? Shouldn't there be some posts down to the floor in at least one or two places along those beams?
@@certifiedyaminspector-dadd6224 -- yes, but if part of the floor gives out on a trailer on footings, it's only going to be a short drop to the ground. It's a much more dangerous drop to the ground with a basement underneath the structure.
@TakenTook fall through a finished floor and 3/4" plywood lol? It would have to rot for years before that could happen. No different than any other floor over a basement. Plus 9/10, they're going to frame a ceiling & walls down there, so it's unlikely someone would fall completely between the joists.
The basement doesn’t appear to be very far above ground level, what happens when it rains and the yard floods or even 1ft of snow, also if you put a slab over the top of that basement you would have a perfect bunker
Thats NOT a mobile home. The fed gov BANNED the mfg of mobiles way back in 1978. Mobiles were built like Rvs their steel under frame had axles & wheels attached. The front had a trailer hitch attached. They all had a metal shell exterior & did not adhere to ANY building codes. What you have is a MFG Home which has to follow standard building codes for homes. They are built using the same products your house is built with. Just because it arrives on a truck does not make it a mobile. There are commercial buildings that are delivered by truck complete with wiring, fixtures & plumbing. Shell uses these a lot. There is a building called MODULAR HOMES which arrive in sections to be attached & maybe even stacked on site, but built in a factory. !
They are NOT banned. The Government adopted new regulations concerning the manufacture of mobile homes and 22 States passed laws to allow mobile homes. If fact, South Carolina where I live in a 26' X 60' Double-wide on a permanent foundation still has the hitches in the crawl space. The wheels and axles were removed. Also, less than 3 miles from me 3 new single-wide mobile homes were place on a large lot. As with mine, they get de-registered as Personal Property when on a permanent foundation and are taxed as a lot with a building. Mine was put on the lot in 1996 and HUD foreclosed on the original owner. Bought from HUD in 2011 for $58,500 cash on 1 acre. Also, true fact, South Carolina is Number 1 in the U.S for mobile homes.
Not necessarily. "Rolling stock" at the rail yard is not rotated along the long axis (I guess you mean longitudinal axis?)...though I suppose you could do this just once for each locomotive or freight car...
They don't just blindly build a basement and drop trailer on it hoping it will turn out ok There is a steel frame under the trailer, it sits on the steel beams across top of basement, that holds trailer up to proper level for the ground......if those steel beams sat on top of the basement then you would have to build steps going up to the door
If it was my house, I would have built an underground bunker instead of a basement. Then, just tow the house on top of the bunker & park it. That way, you have a safe place to go when your tornado bait mobile home gets destroyed. Also, it makes it easier to install a replacement house.
If anyone is wondering where this is done my company does it. Contact Pacific Mobile Structures in Washington state. We serve the west coast and Midwest.
@@jamesjoslin7586 Oh,,,,I didn't know wobble boxes had stairs or basements. This is the my first time seeing polished turds being put on their own toilets. So yeah,wow.
Good question! The stairwell is included in the construction of the home at the factory where it was made. The stairs are installed immediately after the home is set. The GC/homeowner is given the house plans for the home so when the house is set it should be very minimal work and everything lands where it is needed, including the stairs.
so by the time you buy the mobile home and the expense of having it installed onto this basement foundation couldn't you just build a real house on top of that basement foundation??? Knowing the cost of having a full basement foundation put in would you want to spend that kind of money for a mobile home?
Let's ASSUME the cost basement under house and under trailer is the same........are you say to build a house on site would cost the same as buying trailer It's been many years since I considered a trailer, but the price of the trailer included delivery and setup, I would have to have electricity, water, sewer hookups run to their specs but they would do all the hookups The cost of that basement is nowhere near the cost of the trailer......and it doubles floor space
You have zero idea how this house is built apparently. They are not build cheaply as they were 50 years ago. Do some research first. They cost almost the same as site built now, and are not using cardboard and 2x2 framing.
Who else watched this expecting it to “ roll “ over into the basement 😂
totally
Well I was trying to figure out what the title meant…

Well at least I fast forwarded to a minute left, to find out it didn't roll over. Saved 3 minutes of my life.
We used to do sets this way! We now perform crane ons only, for safety purposes. Thankfully, not due to an incident. Cool video!

How did they get out from down there?
There was a door toward the upper right around where the ladder was
I see an under the radar speak easy with pool tables and a jukebox.
And a stripper pole.
Mines on a slab. Id love to jack it up and do a block foundation.
