Wow! I’m impressed by the drivers. They drive all those hours and then have to maneuver and set up the whole house together. It must be exhausting. Much respect for them!!
Now that is what I call nerve-racking and tedious work! What skill those delivery & setup men have. Very interesting to see exactly how this process is done. Thank you.
Yay! What a beautiful place. My Brother was a trucker hauled mobile homes to different states. my Dad drove the escort vehicle. I loved watching them set up the beautiful homes. Even learned to drive the big truck lol
As soon as I started watching I knew exactly where your home was coming from .....I have 2 grands that live right by the Walmart there in Dothan lol! Congratulations!
Congratulations on your new and beautiful home!🎉🎉 My husband and I want this same home. We are torn as to where we want to buy land. Your land is perfect and beautiful!! Nice job!! Enjoy!🌻🌿🌻🌿🌻
Our Southern Belle, which is a 4 BR version of this with just a different name is getting delivered in just a few days. Thanks for your video, we're so excited!
That's so exciting! Enjoy your new home! I've seen the Lula Belle but not the Southern Belle... I think they're very similar but from different companies. I saw a few of those varieties when I was shopping around. Good luck!
You bought the perfect plot of land to live on, and your house is amazing! We plan on doing the same thing when we retire so that we won't have a house or land payment to make it more affordable to live on social security.
I recently found your channel and we have the same style! This Lula Mae Farmhouse is a great pick. Thank you for sharing this move and congratulation on your beautiful home.
You love it i know and my advice pay it off as quick as you can if you haven't already. Once land and home is paid for have 0 car payment 0 credit cards 0 loans of any kind then figure your living expenses and utilities, insurances which should only come too around 300 to 400 per Month maybe less maybe alittle more ! Minus your food and entertainment you should be able too semi retire working just part time and enjoy your life it's the only one you got ! I did all of this and now I'm retired at 50 and I love it
Very cool Betsy. It was fascinating to see it transported from the sales lot to your property. Best regards and congratulations on your new home. It looks great from the outside.
FYI...The shingles on the roof will get mold from the dampness of the trees so you will have moss and mold growing on your roof. You will want to use bleach and water to power wash your roof to get it off but it will wear down the shingles causing roof leaks. Best to save and put quality or metal roof on since you placed this in between trees. Install a water shut off immediately as the ones in prefab are either not in the bathroom or the washing machine hook ups are very flimsy and cheap and you will have to replace them in a year or two with stronger ones. Saves from water damage inside and mold. Check air leaks in winter by formation of icicles along edges of roof....sometimes in new prefab models the skimp on insulation ....just so you know.
that is why you do the options of getting your ducts and vents in the ceiling and they upgrade you to R40. When it gets time to replace the roof; put a metal roof on for sure. HUD requires water shut offs in every room where there is water. We just bought a Clayton Mfg Home and did around $8100 in upgrades. We did the Farmhouse Flex 1800 Sq Ft for 108,000 total in Oklahoma. The site prep is going to run us about $25,000 and we have level ground. It is all the taps and the concrete foundation, patios, porches and the garage pad.
I’m curious about you not putting it on a foundation I was under the assumption the guidelines for getting a loan on a manufactured home had to be set on a permanent foundation. I would really like to know if this is correct information.
@Del Y look at all the mobile homes that’s still standing after 1980 and being living in. But it also depends on the dealer you go through. Mine is on a permanent foundation but there are a lot of dealers who don’t do it
Hi! this is 11 months later, but I watched a video where they put the concrete pilons in the ground that they anchor the mobile home to and this is considered permanent. Check me on this though!
It was definitely nerve-wracking! I know they do this every day and have skills that I don't but it's crazy how they navigate some of those tight corners.
Hi Betsy! So I have been really getting serious about purchasing my first home and I have to say that I am learning towards the manufactured home route. I've already checked out numerous models such as the Lula Mae, & the Anna Fae which both I liked a lot. I watched a few of your videos particularly the 1 year update. I've never thought about purchasing a manufactured home but I have to say, that I am sold to an extent. I can understand why some of the quality build/materials are a bit different vs a stick built home but after watching your video, you strike me as someone who can adapt and take care of their things which would indicate that things will last a long time to which I am one of those people too. With all that said and done I wanted to focus on the kitchen and the bathroom - as for the drawer tracks, you said they were plastic. Would you recall if upgrading them to metal was a lot, and as for the bathroom, have you experienced any issues with the doors closing/opening? Thank you for your time and look forward to hearing back! Jonathan
Just came across your video. Congratulations! I thought that the surface grading and gravel foundation had to be done prior to the home delivery? They sure did a great job getting it there and placed on site.
Food for thought: a lot of these companies run like production lines and they cut corners when it comes to "behind the wall" stuff (the really important stuff), such as plumbing and electrical. So 2 years down the line, you have issues and they charge you a fortune for service calls.
Total horseshit. That may have occurred in the 60s and 70s. That's straight illegal. The construction process is monitored the entire way through.......My19 69 magnolia has been great. ZERO ISSUES. IN 52 YEARS. It's 2x2 construction everything works great.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful journey I want to do the same thing too ❤️ I want my dream too come true 💕 I have been saving up moneys I'm also a first time buyer and I've been doing a lot of research on mobile homes and land. Do you have a video where shows where you hook up the water and electricity I would like to have more advice
Congratulations on your new home 🎊🎉!!! My husband and I have been looking at the same home and was wondering was it hard to get approved for a manufactured home? And what mirage company did you use?? Thanks
I ended up using 21st Mortgage, it was not hard to get approved. I would suggest talking to a few different places before you put in applications though... I found different listing prices at different places. The up front prices were very different from place to place!
That all depends on where you live and what you get. Where I live if you want a treatment plant septic (required in you have less than 10 acres of land) is roughly $5k. A well is about $3k and that includes drilling and everything you need to run it, like pumps. You can either pay for those services out of pocket or have the cost financed into your home loan. Which is what most people do.
@@fruitpunchjuicy I PVC pipe from you water source runs the house. It just hooks up to the main water line. Whomever did your septic will usually run the lines from your house and that's included in the price of the septic placement
What about gas, electric, water, sewage etc? Assuming that is something you have to coordinate with the town? Curious on how to do that (most of what I researched said it is extremely difficult to get). I’d love to do something like this but there isn’t much out there on how to successfully get the necessary permitting.
I'm thinking there's not much "permitting" to worry about if you live way out side city limits (at least in our case here in Tx). As for Sewage she'll probably get a Septic tank installed ($8000). As for water, we had to drill a water well. For electric you gotta call your local Electricity provider or go Solar.
@@FunDuude Yeah it's exactly the same in The Poconos out here in PA, though it seems getting a septic tank put in is much cheaper in Texas. Problem with permits is that certain places are very anti-outsider, so the locals will give you a hard time if they didn't attend pre-school with you, whereas your neighbor gets to do anything he wants.
Great Job, however I'm wondering where is the foundation concrete that they anchor the home down to? It has to be anchored down to something besides dirt. Mine was anchored to strips of concrete poured 18 inches deep.
YEAH, I was wondering the same thing. When I was 14 my Mom and Dad bought a Larger section of Land and Bought 1 of at that Time it was known as a Modular Home like this one and it arrived in 2 Section's just like this and had to be set on a Concrete Formation where the Wheels went and Anchoring Slabs had to be Poured and then the State Inspector had to Inspect the Concrete work to make sure it met Codes and was deep enough. How is it you just bring a Bulldozer in ? Bulldoze a Flat Patch and then bring in the 2 Halves? WHERE IS THE CONCRETE SLAB TO SET THE HOME ON AND TO ANCHOR IT TO?
It had to be set on these special footings. I don't really know how to describe them, they're kind of like the ground anchours that frank mentioned. They set them in place after the house was brought in and then anchored everything. Then the state inspector had to come out and make sure everything was up to code. It took a few weeks to put everything together, I only was able to video the delivery not the setup.
I’m so sorry about your husband, I lost my hubby 3 years ago so I understand. Maybe you’ll find someone to share with, my fur babies keep me company (and my mom and brother visit often) but it’s not the same
Hopefully they will put footings so it does not sink when a heavy rain falls. Not sure why a gravel foundation was not installed prior! Just grating the area without putting back any solid foundation seems really bad. From the video it looks like there is a slope to the property have to erosion proof if it does.
Trippy never saw that little mover before. The back half left the lot first so where was it at when the front half was getting put in? Why wasn't the lot made level?
Thank you for your video...we are moving from PA to SC-Sumter area...we will be purchasing a single wide 2020 model-ITS VERY NICE...how is your home turning out so far...please keep us updated...any advise you can give...??
Thank you! I'm not sure, I only know how they did my house which was on cement footers. I think it depends on where you are, your land and the zoning requirements. They might be able to do dirt pads elsewhere... my ground is mostly sand so that wouldn't work here.
Love the Name LulaMae that was my mother’s name I live in a single wide old tw in Maryland Love it my husband and I rebuilt the whole tw back in the 80s God bless
Hi, Betsy. 1st off, congrats on your new home! I'm interested in getting a manufactured house myself. I was wondering if you could shed some light on what you had to do as far as land, when buying a manufactured home. Purchasing land would be one part. How are utilities, sewer, water, etc. handled? Did you have to do all this yourself or was this coordinated by the mfg home dealer?
Hi Bill! It really depends on what type of land you're looking for. The manufacturing home company I purchased mine from had a few places they work with that could offer land & home deals... most of those were for land that was a lot inside a park. I talked to a few companies and they all had different connections and therefore different mobile home parks they worked with. If you're not looking to be in a park and want more traditional land then typically you're going to need to find that yourself... and then the manufactured home company can work with you to get it included in your loan. I found my own land and for my particular mfg home dealer included sewer & water as well as the foundation in my setup price and power (utilities) were an outside setup fee (meaning I had to find someone to setup power on my own). I believe that differs from place to place so you'll need to ask the people you're buying the home from how it works there. Hope that helps!
@@jennyanimal9046 she is in Alabama from another answer posted above. Isn't she the cutest young lady doing this on her own and wild mom out there supervising. I can watch it all day.
I watched a similar thing with a 4 piece site office. This is very impressive to watch but sadly a lot of people like me can't afford land as well. A lot of Australian homes around 300,000aud
Definitely! They removed a large home from the site a few months before I took the land over and I didn't get to see that part. So it was fun to watch them bring the new pieces in! Although they said that the previous home had been there for 30 years and really settled in... and was much harder to get out than this was to get in. This seemed really hard (to me!) so I can't imagine harder!
Three years later,...how is the house holding up? Any leaks or cracks in the house? Ive been thinking about a manufactured home, but the delivery aspect of the process scares the heck out of me. The house literally goes thru an earthquake on the delivery truck.
Wow! I’m impressed by the drivers. They drive all those hours and then have to maneuver and set up the whole house together. It must be exhausting. Much respect for them!!
Definitely exhausting... not to mention nerve wracking. They really know their stuff!
They get paid some really good money.

Hi, Betsy. 1st off, congrats on your new home! I'm interested in getting a manufactured house myself. I was wondering if you could shed some light on what you had to do as far as land, when buying a manufactured home. Purchasing land would be one part. How are utilities, sewer, water, etc. handled? Did you have to do all this yourself or was this coordinated by the mfg home dealer?
Hi Bill! It really depends on what type of land you're looking for. The manufacturing home company I purchased mine from had a few places they work with that could offer land & home deals... most of those were for land that was a lot inside a park. I talked to a few companies and they all had different connections and therefore different mobile home parks they worked with. If you're not looking to be in a park and want more traditional land then typically you're going to need to find that yourself... and then the manufactured home company can work with you to get it included in your loan. I found my own land and for my particular mfg home dealer included sewer & water as well as the foundation in my setup price and power (utilities) were an outside setup fee (meaning I had to find someone to setup power on my own). I believe that differs from place to place so you'll need to ask the people you're buying the home from how it works there. Hope that helps!

@@jennyanimal9046 she is in Alabama from another answer posted above. Isn't she the cutest young lady doing this on her own and wild mom out there supervising. I can watch it all day.
Great video and I am very impressed with the drivers. What state are you in? My daughter and I are considering purchasing the exact same model.
The drivers did an amazing job! I'm in Alabama, good luck!
It's beautiful 😍
I watched a similar thing with a 4 piece site office. This is very impressive to watch but sadly a lot of people like me can't afford land as well. A lot of Australian homes around 300,000aud
Thanks! I don't know anything about prices of homes in Australia but 300,000aud is about double what I paid for my home, so I'm pretty happy with it!
Have to factor in the Maneuvering of the delivery truck, in and out , when doing site development and preparation.
Definitely! They removed a large home from the site a few months before I took the land over and I didn't get to see that part. So it was fun to watch them bring the new pieces in! Although they said that the previous home had been there for 30 years and really settled in... and was much harder to get out than this was to get in. This seemed really hard (to me!) so I can't imagine harder!
Three years later,...how is the house holding up? Any leaks or cracks in the house? Ive been thinking about a manufactured home, but the delivery aspect of the process scares the heck out of me. The house literally goes thru an earthquake on the delivery truck.
