If you enter amazon through my link amzn.to/3lhFqKz I get paid a small percentage of whatever you spend there. It doesn't cost you any more and I don't know what you've bought. Many thanks to those that do use my link. Its greatly appreciated.
I did these set-ups for 32 years. It's a lot of work, but so satisfying when the homeowner inspects everything and finds nothing wrong/out-of-place. Never had an accident and never damaged a home. Doing set-ups is a job for the young. I'm 74 now and am proud of the hundreds of homes I worked on.
It depends on the size of the home, and if you are working alone or with 2/3 others. Alone, a singlewide would take me about 1 1/2 days complete with tiedowns. With another worker, a day. Alone a doublewide would take me 3 days complete. With another worker, 2 days. It also depends on your knowledge of how to/what to do a good setup. Might be good to hire-onto a setup crew for a few months to get the knowledge. There IS a sequence to follow. @@jaronmitchell6784
More and more me and my wife are leaning towards having a manufactured home installed on a piece of property that we purchase. This video is very good and very descriptive and I’m learning how this is done. And yes, you’re absolutely right, even though they won’t admit it everyone gets their UA-cam time on the throne.😂
that was neat, I didn't get to see how they had put my parents mobile home in, way back in 78. Not too much longer you all will be moved in and setting up your home. Thank you for showing this. I remember my parents had to have the company back a few times to make adjustments and patch the roof once. Blessings to you and your family
I'm getting ready to do all of this soon hopefully. Looking forward to it very much. A literal dream for my family. The thing I am most concerned with is the installation team doing good job. I found a family owned deal that has amazing revierw. Better than anyone I have found in my state. I have to drive 3 hrs to get to the dealership but I believe it will be worth it to get an amazing install team.
This has really been enlightening for us. We're looking into purchasing a manufactured home ourselves and this really puts things in perspective. Thank you.
idk why setting and leveling Manufacture and Mobile homes is so fun, good for OCD too, these guys seem to be pretty professional with their work unlike a lot of others I've seen. lol
I did a modular home in 2004 and 2 cranes helped and then poor guys had to work until 2 am to get the roof raised and dried in and they worked hard and I was amazed at the whole thing .These guys all need a shout out for the work they do .My house is on a basement so no big leveling needed .I would do it again .One set price and dry in the factory .I bought my norris built homer from clayton homes and to the last little finish they were there for me .I love my home to this day .These guys are amazing .Shout out to clayton homes in Blairs VA to this day
They did a great job of putting that house together tight with a minimum of equipment. I just had one brought in and put together, and in spite of having much more equipment they did not do as good a job. You have a nice tight house there.
I will stop life to "find out" or learn something. This is one of those times as I searched how to level my coach I recently purchased and now live in. Never have ventured into living or owning one and it appears mine has settled since it was installed in 1992. Water leakimng from the master shower to the ground below has caused my situation. Now it's time to get it done. Great vid with great detailed information. Well done! (Nice house you ended up with there, by the way)
The "turlet" as Archie Bunker called it, is the perfect spot for UA-cam viewing. Do it all the time. 😂 Glad to see it coming together for y'all! A few adjustments here & there and home sweet home. 😊😊
I love their theory of how they leave the one side lower, makes sense. I have seen a lot of double wide's with huge gaps at the marriage lines. Some just make them even top and bottom, claiming they can have a 11/2 gap and its ok. I don't want any gap between the walls, I don't see how that can be structurally sound. I hope you are having good luck with your home, and enjoying it....
Can't wait to see it done. Also glad to hear I'm not the only one watching you tube on the you tube watching station. Have a Jesus filled day Greg in Michigan
Hey BC, awesome looking "cottage" there, happy days! Lot of patience ahead for the little stuff they'll need to address. Ours just set about 2 months ago, and not one door inside or out was without issues. Lot of dust too. We suspect the house is flexing slightly as it settles a smidge and that is why doors are wonky - driving my hubs crazy. Our first MH also. Almost at our 90 days - that is when the list is submitted with all the "issues" and one visit is made to supposedly fix everything. We shall see. It's a process for sure. That molding near the floor looks familiar, we have a few of those places. Love that island and kitchen. Hope it all comes together real soon and y'all are moving in!
Jacks and rollers. I’m extremely lucky to have a translift and a tug. It’s very easy to take for granted how much work has to be put in without those two machines.
we use a remote track to get it close enough to use lean jacks and come alongs, just wouldn’t recommend staying in front of the jack while pullin it over
Try being a single mom, heartbroken because you paid the movers in full and they only delivered it to your property and now you have it sitting there with no more money and 5 days til it rains 😢
Just like you and the missus, us folks out here can't wait to seeit all come together. Looks like your gonna get some exercize going from the outer yard to the house. I guess about 2 feet elevation. Ain't nuthin like a brand new home.
Wooohoo, so happy for y’all even though you will be farther away from Tn....pretty intense and interesting to watch. My mom had her doublewide set on a block foundation and I missed seeing how they did that. Thanks for sharing and I know y’all are glad to see this happening finally. Moving time now, be safe.
Wow, it’s extremely odd how everyone’s works sight looks so similar!! There are hundreds of tiny things that go into putting one together. It is extremely time consuming and lots of labor. Knew home looks very nice!!!
Also, these guys only double pier’d. “The supports are only one block tall”. I work for Clayton, we usually do 2 blocks wide, so instead of 108, it would be 216 blocks more often
Looking really good. Even your you tube watching area.....lol. Am I the only one that doesn't watch you tube on the throne? LOL. Thanks for sharing what you could. Take care.
The most important part would be leveling and lagging the floor! Then it would be flashing and ridge vent on roof. Sometimes a lot of shingles needed depending on wind and how far traveled. The best part to watch is the anchor part! Lol. Some work involved in putting anchors down.
Had a lot more finish work to do on your's than they did on mine. 😜 I couldn't get footage of the set up because I had to be out of state for a funeral. But, they did send me pics.
I have no idea what you’re talking about. There is a staimafratzen for knudler receptacle, and it was warbulator after the convection was transmogrifried.
Yay, house! I wouldn't have the patience for the whole procedure. You'll be in your house in no time, I just know it. I'm wondering if your off square door problem might be a squonky hang of that particular door itself, since other doors don't seem to be droopy. Soon!
@@bctruck Thank you so much for this information. My mom was looking at a brand new manufactured home to purchase, but it had a VERY visible unsightly bumpy seam line. Creating a shadow even. We were told it would be addressed, but looked just as bad on our final walkthrough, where seller said, “Well that’s as good as it’s gonna get”. We walked away from the deal cause it was alarming to my mom. However, they were making it seem like we were the problem?
Hey i know it’s been 4 years since this was posted but hope you can reply im about to close on my double wide but they offered me the dirtpad and blocks just like how yours got set have you noticed any shifting like the blocks sinking into the dirt do you recommend me getting something different like concrete runners or pier and beam
Do you have to put in a septic tank and water line? We put in a few Modulars homes like that back in the day, but they had the push up roofs then...Looking good..
I don't know if you are in a area where you get snow but if you are did they put heat tape or something around the water pipes coming from the ground to make sure your pipes don't freeze in the winter?
Im thinking of getting a Mobile Home when i retire in a couple years. Just worried about storms with those things. There beautiful inside you get a lot for your money can you have extra tie-downs put into a mobile home
They are set on concrete runner that run the length of the house. They are tied down the the concrete. They are more susceptible to wind damage than any other home would be.
I worked at a place where homes like this are going up. I don't think I could trust living in a trailer home like this because the thought of the home splitting in half would keep me up at night...especially if a powerful storm is due to pass by.
Well aren’t you just a little drama queen. We just went through a tornado. 18 trees came down in my yard. My house, bolted down to a concrete pad, suffered no damage. Split in half. What a nimrod.
Thank you for sharing, very informative video. I didn't quite understand what happened to the tightening of the strap at the end of the video. He was tightening the nut on the left then he stopped and it was not tensioned, looked stripped? I would expect the tension of the strap to be checked and the nut and bolt torqued to some specific value? Thanks again, I will make sure we take a look at Clayton Homes too.
I have watched your videos frome when you were shopping for a home and all, my wife and i just bought a Clayton home ,the farm house breeze doublewide....so i wondering how satisfied you are so far....anything specific i should look for during or after set up? Thank you, Chris and Kim
My advice is to make a note of every little detail that you arent happy with. We had some sheetrock crack and a few minor things and they sent someone out and fixed every single thing. We've had it 6 months now and are very happy with our purchase. I wouldnt change a thing.
Any idea if the mobile home contractors hook the plumbing up and connect the electric to the breaker box of the home? I’m currently in the process of buying a new mobile home and was just wondering how that part works.
BCtruck, rebuild, repair,repurpose thanks for the response. We closed on the home just a couple of days ago and they recently came out and leveled the land and poured the concrete for the footers so we’re hoping to be moved in to the new home just before Christmas time. Recently we got AEP on board to come out and place a new meter on the near by utility pole as well as doing an inspection this should take place in the next few days. Out of curiosity you think you could give a ball park estimate on hiring someone to come hook up the water, plumbing and electric? The property I have already has everything (concrete septic system, city water, etc...) so basically all that needs to be done is having everything dug up enough to tie into as well as running a new electric line underground to the home from the power pole. I’ve started researching local electricians/plumbers/equipment operators and will begin calling around this week for estimates. I’m hoping with everything already on the property I can get this home connected and ready to live in for around $6500 otherwise my pockets are going to be sore for a while lol!!!!!

How much was the foundation?
@@kennethalynn $10,000 for dirt and concrete.

I’m 64 and there’s no way I could crawl around under these even now.
Bet it’s fun when guys like this are up ur ass asking questions constantly too and making dumb videos
I’m getting my license to become an installer (currently a general contractor). Roughly how long would it take to install them?
It depends on the size of the home, and if you are working alone or with 2/3 others. Alone, a singlewide would take me about 1 1/2 days complete with tiedowns. With another worker, a day. Alone a doublewide would take me 3 days complete. With another worker, 2 days. It also depends on your knowledge of how to/what to do a good setup.

where you used to work? Do you got the website for those mobilehome? I plan to buying one
Amazing how far mobile homes have come in terms of quality and fit and finish. All the little details. Looks nice!

The interior of the house is beautiful, and quite roomy.
Thanks!
This was fascinating. A lot more than insert tab A into slot B. Watching them work was impressive! Looking forward to the next phase.......
When someone has a cigarette hanging from their lip while they're working, you know it's done right.
This has really been enlightening for us. We're looking into purchasing a manufactured home ourselves and this really puts things in perspective. Thank you.
The things I came away with are it’s gonna cost more than the sticker price and take much longer than you think it will.
The inside of your house really looks good with all the fresh finishes. Those guys were hustling around the job-site!
Thanks! They all worked hard. No slackers.
one step closer-- wishing you and momma a wonderful thanksgiving and say thanks for taking us along on this journey-- huggs...Glo

Keeping everything level was the hardest part of that operation. Lotta details to know to get that done right.
Haven’t heard from you in a while. Hope you are well.
Water level it

I am. Not a single problem. No cracks in the Sheetrock. No settling.
It’s interesting how involved this process is
Sure looks like it is secured a lot better than my single wide was. Pretty cool to see it go together.
There are 24 tie downs in total.
Can't wait to see it done.
Also glad to hear I'm not the only one watching you tube on the you tube watching station.

Always wash your hands after watching UA-cam!LOL!!
I love watching this part. It’s so fascinating to me how they do the set up.
I really enjoyed watching. I had never seen how they got them moved and it was very interesting.
Congratulations on your new home
Really nice house. Looking forward to many more videos of setting up and building your new shop.

Great video Brad. I always wondered how they do that. Thanks! Keep them vids coming.
Love this video.... Never saw this done before
ooh thats a gorgeous home i love all the windows!
Thanks! We’re very happy in it. It’s much smaller than our old house but after we got rid of some junk, it fits us perfectly.
Looking really good. Even your you tube watching area.....lol. Am I the only one that doesn't watch you tube on the throne? LOL. Thanks for sharing what you could. Take care.
Very nice I bet you can't wait to get moved in
So glad things are finally coming together.
Well now we know how it’s done. Hope they can get it leveled out!
Just Plain Common Sense they used a water level at every pier. I’m real happy with the job they did.
Really enjoyed your content 😊
Congratulations ur home is so beautiful enjoy.
Thanks! We have been in it a year now and are still very pleased with our purchase.
I like your wall colors
Ours will be delivered next month. Cant wait!
this what i do for my job definitely a lot of little things you have to do
The most important part would be leveling and lagging the floor! Then it would be flashing and ridge vent on roof. Sometimes a lot of shingles needed depending on wind and how far traveled. The best part to watch is the anchor part! Lol. Some work involved in putting anchors down.
We are getting ours today 🙂 Great video
Awesome! We’ve been in ours for a couple months now and we love it!
wow, it's looking good now BC. now the fun part begins.. moving ya stuff in
Still got a couple weeks before that. Next week we get it plumbed and hooked up to electricity. Then final trim and we can start moving in.
Looks like it want be long now great video.
*Looks Very Nice!!!*
What’s the proper edict of the tires and axles, on a mobile home setup, leave attached, or remove them? Fun video. Thanks
Nowadays they belong to the mobile home sales place. The tongue is yours though.
I’m fixing to have one done in central Texas. I’m also a knife maker
Very nice!! So happy for you!
Me and my wife get our house delivered in three weeks or so excited
It’s been 5 years now and we are still very happy with ours.
You are hilarious, that's my UA-cam watching area as well😂
It’s also my research room.
@@bctruck 🤣, absolutely
Missed this one
Thanks for sharing I’ve never seen this done. Are you gonna upload part 2-3? Be intersecting to see how they get the interior done.
Yep. I plan on it.
If you came up with those few things wrong then you did good. The new house I had built a few years ago had a lot more issues.
And nice looking home.
Is it better to pour a slab? If you just use dirt won’t it move and not be stable long term?
This is sitting on concrete runner 18 inches wide and two feet deep. It’s not sitting on dirt.
Had a lot more finish work to do on your's than they did on mine. 😜
I couldn't get footage of the set up because I had to be out of state for a funeral. But, they did send me pics.
I use to do this job in Ohio years ago did that for 5 years it a lot of hard work
Think it’d work the same with a 30ft camper? I recently had a tree fall on mine and thought about pulling one next to it to make it a double wide.
No idea. Good luck.
I don't know what I expected, but I definitely didn't think you could set an entire mobile home with a skidsteer and a come-along lmao
They definitely have it down to a science.
is there a junction box for the romex ???
I have no idea what you’re talking about. There is a staimafratzen for knudler receptacle, and it was warbulator after the convection was transmogrifried.
How long after the install did you get the keys to move in
It was a couple of weeks.
congrats its closer to being a home now.
That is very interesting and boy I do hate it when my wrench slips I all ways hurt myself
Is this 2 single wides put to gether to make it a double wide?
No. It’s a full size house cut down the middle and assembled once on sight.
i have a 97 double wide, tie downs not required here but i do have a 40 pfs snow load roof. (Maine)
It's a full on construction project, nothing less
Awesome. Thanks for sharing 👍😎✌️
Lol, coming together I get it! Nice house we are so happy for you, we will be seeing some great videos of your new life!
Yay, house! I wouldn't have the patience for the whole procedure. You'll be in your house in no time, I just know it. I'm wondering if your off square door problem might be a squonky hang of that particular door itself, since other doors don't seem to be droopy. Soon!
It’s not sqounky but it might be caddywampus!
@@bctruck I dunno, looked pretty squonky to me. But maybe it is just caddywampus---hope so! That cabinet bottom was DEF squonky, though.
Hello I have a question about the seams. Should you be able to see a very visible seam where both sections connect? Or should it be invisible? Thanks.
On the floor, there is a transition piece that covers the seam. On the walls and ceiling, it’s 109% invisible.
@@bctruck Thank you so much for this information. My mom was looking at a brand new manufactured home to purchase, but it had a VERY visible unsightly bumpy seam line. Creating a shadow even.

Do you have to put in a septic tank and water line? We put in a few Modulars homes like that back in the day, but they had the push up roofs then...Looking good..

Thanks again, I will make sure we take a look at Clayton Homes too.
Was a slab a requirement for installation and set up or
No. I had concrete runners poured
How much did this cost start to finish?
$10,000 for dirtwork and concrete. About $87,000 for the home.
Thank you Warren!

My concern is the loose dirt bed the home is set on since it's not hard packed you're going to have a lot of settling and possibly damage to the home.
There’s no loose dirt, plus my home is on concrete.
@@bctruck just looked like a mound of dirt as the base. But take your word for it.
Nope. Concrete the entire length and width and sitting on concrete pillars.
