A new home coming into the park. Lots of people turned out to see the show but some missed it. This one is for my neighbours who missed it, and for those who are interested.
I would be ashamed to show my face if I was driving that truck. You can’t back a trailer up into it’s clearly marked spot with people helping you spot it? My 17 yo daughter could put that trailer in there in one try, ridiculous.
I have the same 6 way hitch but the wiring was all ripped apart from previous person can you send some photos of your wiring so I can get an idea how to put together
When brophs mobile homes dropped my Brand New home off it was katty corner so that drunk they sent out to setup the mobile home jacked the whole thing up on four bottle jacks and shoved it off to get my house straight he Bent 40 ft of the frame totaled my brand new Waverly 1997hone
You guys ever backed anything that long in a. Area that tight? I highly doubt it. I drive trucks for a living. I deliver construction materials to neighborhoods. And even I couldn't imagine trying to haul house trailers.
you did good filming this, Does the Mobile home mover do everything like removing the skirting and/or porch? or do you have to hire someone else to remove the extra stuff, and the mover just has to move the mobile home to your place?
This was a new unit, never had any skirting on it to start. I imagine you could DIY skirting/porch removal or hire it out. Either way, nothing comes for free....lol. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Why on earth they didn't pour a concrete slab for that to sit on is mind boggling. The park I live in does it for all the homes they bring in. The foundation on this one is weak and will only lead to the mobile home becoming un-level.
There are 14 frost line footers installed that the home sits on. It does not sit on the gravel at all. But yeah, if it were me I would want a concrete slab so it's easier to work under it.
Why in the world would they put it on top of dense grade like that? All its gonna do is sink and shift and destroy this home. Be better on top of the bare ground or better yet on concrete footers like they do here in the states.
Wouldn’t want my home on that aggregate base.. look how wheels are digging in. I would pour concrete, which not only gives u a solid base but no rodents can permeate crawl space.
That home sits on concrete piers 4' below the natural grade. Although they did make the mistake of shimming it level with softwood. The town insisted the grade be raised under the home for that lot. If I were to install a mobile home myself I would go with a concrete pad under it too.
Correct. For some reason they put in the sand to level the ground under the unit. The concrete footers go well below the frost line....see my video "Hydro drilling" where they are preparing for the footers before the fill went in.
There are frost line footers going down 3 ft + into solid ground before the gravel was added. See my video on Hydro drilling for that. The gravel was added because of a dumb requirement the town wanted.
I have been setting mobile homes for twenty years in Mississippi and up the east coast. We set them on red clay mounds with single and double block piers with 16×16 pads the home's don't settle as much as people think. I also do relevels and the home's are rarely out more than a inch or two over a 80 foot span unless water flows under the house
Every time I see a wood turning video I am told that you have to seal the ends to stop cracking, and when they are doing firewood you have to leave it a couple of years before you can burn it. My point is why not let it dry and crack and then it does half the job for you without any back trouble. And splitting all that wood by hand would definitely knacker my back.
I splits good green, even better frozen and green. Not an easy day either way though..lol. It also seasons better split. Left in the round it goes all punky in the middle. The hardest part is the bending and picking it up.
i have a double wide with a fireplace in it, oil is the main heat source but i like to burn wood at times. i dont use that much and i still wish i had a wood splitter.
Wow,i am from philippines and now living here in the US for more than a month .living in a trailer house which is really new for me so i am really bothered on how they do,how they moved it.now i found the answer from this video.thank you for sharing
Jim Dockrell really? But while watching the video im like “wow,how they do that blah blah blah” i was so amazed since i never seen this before and no idea on how they move it.
@@kiminohio3375 There is much better equipment availible. They are small tracked buggies with a lift on them. The put one under each end, lift it up, and can easily move a home around in any direction, includine sideways.
Where do you think all that electricity to charge Teslas comes from? And where are all the dead Li-ion batteries from those wonderful electrical vehicles going to go when they die? They can't be re-used or re-purposed.
@@izmark671 Yes, I know of Straubel's venture. They have not figured out anything yet but how to take used cells apart and sell the pieces on foreign commodity markets. It'll be at least a decade before any concrete info concerning percentages of recyclability of Li-ion cells is attained. And the forecast is bleak, 30 percent is a dream number, what are they going to do with the remaining 75 percent of toxic waste left over? What about all the environmental detriment of mining for new lithium? All those inefficient internal combustion engines clanking and smoking away in massive heavy equipment while scarring the planet must not figure into the feel good commercials for E/Vs and their eco friendliness.

Not my circus, not my monkeys. I was just watching and filming.

Not my equipment.
That takes me back to when I lived in one. still one of the best houses I have ever owned!
I see all over that small houses are the "in" thing now....first time in my life I have been ahead of the trend...lol. Thanks for watching James.
That's a good driver and crew. (: Hard but honest work. (:
Still amazing to see one been moved and the skill Level of the driver backing it into poistion

Oh no! Hope they came good for the damage they did.
The driver can't back up where the f***
After about 10 tries he got close enough everyone just gave up and went with it....lol
You guys ever backed anything that long in a. Area that tight? I highly doubt it. I drive trucks for a living. I deliver construction materials to neighborhoods. And even I couldn't imagine trying to haul house trailers.
I can vouch. I pull mobile homes. With a sleeper tandem truck. This guy fucking sucks.
That side shift hitch is pretty slick
Yeah, I thought it was pretty clever.
you did good filming this, Does the Mobile home mover do everything like removing the skirting and/or porch? or do you have to hire someone else to remove the extra stuff, and the mover just has to move the mobile home to your place?

This is very wholesome! I love it
This gives a whole new meaning to the term “coming home“ 😆
and also "home coming"...lol.

You're like a sober Jim Lahey.
I am the liquor.....lol.
That's the wrong way to build a base pad. You build a base path for the six inches thick all the way through and let the blocks make up the difference
There was lots wrong with the method. Glad it's not my home, or my work.
Why in the world would they put it on top of dense grade like that? All its gonna do is sink and shift and destroy this home. Be better on top of the bare ground or better yet on concrete footers like they do here in the states.
It has frost line piers well below grade level. See my "Hydro Drilling" video to see how they drilled the holes.

Home
But not mine....lol
they should realy invest in some radios
No one would accuse them of being over intelligent.
@@JimDockrellWatertone lol
I dont think it should sink as long as its balanced on the footers correctly right ?
Correct. For some reason they put in the sand to level the ground under the unit. The concrete footers go well below the frost line....see my video "Hydro drilling" where they are preparing for the footers before the fill went in.
Are you kidding me, this fresh gravel, not even packed down. Have to bring someone every month to re-level the trailer. It is going to sink big time.

Jim Dockrell Sounds like typical government stupidity

Not very impressive is it?

I just got a splitter this year. Getting too hard to swing the splitting maul.

In my opinion these were not very good people for moving a home to it's location.
