Crazy to me how far mobile homes have come 2x6 & 2x8 walls with lots of insulation. When my wife & I got married in the mid 90's we rebuilt a 1978 mobile home on our small family farm that was new when my uncle lived there. It was the old 2x2 & 2x4 walls & so cold in the winter & hot in the summer; but we were happy just to be married & living together. Almost 30 years later living in her great-grandmas homestead house, still happy to be together; but now we're older & really happy not to be so cold in the winter😀.
I grew up in a 1978 with my dad and hated that thing with a burning passion "Candominium" You could hear a squirrel pee outside. Now I run a sales center. They are not even the same home from 2006. It is insane how how far they come and how they are building offices out of them now.
Exciting to see the house land! Put your well house over the well so u don't need to horse around with pitless adaptors, just make sure the well is in line with the door so u can pull pump years down the road.
I may have missed the house thing. The last talk of houses was accommodation for workers. So is Mike planning on making the North farm his home base and South farm is going to be what the North farm is now. Not quite understanding his future plans, or maybe we aren’t privy to those. Awesome to see him expanding on his own however.
Couple of things I noticed as a builder and renovator, I would paint the OSB underneath with some tremclad so it doesn't deteriorate and don't get an RO water system it leaves it with zero minerals and eats away at anything that isn't stainless or nylon. Just saying. 😎👍🍻
RO water can be passed though a few food grade limestone chips to restore some hardness (Works best if followed by a buffer tank of 10-20 gallons so the bit of water that sits on the lime overnight is mixed with water that only had brief contact.). Or where the reason is just because of excessively hard water, mix the RO with straight well water to get half hard water, this also reduces cuts the RO demand in half.
I'm from Wisconsin and basements are a positive for men. Great looking place Mike and interesting how they set it. I'm thinking around here they have slab to sit on.
What is with Drinkingwater in and sewage out? The space between the ground and house has much cold air in Saskatchewan to freeze the pipe. In Germany the Waterpipe comes in 80-100cm under the ground in the house. Mike, as a father to i wish you the best times of your life in your home! Family is the Thing we live for. English is not my Motherslang so excuse for mistakes
The skirting will enclose and insulate the underside of the house to the ground. Water lines in Saskatchewan are run 6 feet (2 meters) under ground, as to keep them out of the winter frost line. Mike will likely show this in following videos.
@@notpoliticallycorrect4774 Thank you for your answer. Yes i think Mike will show it in the next Videos. Im a bit interested in Farming and like to watch Mikes Videos. I can understand him most of the time if it is not to technical. So i have a short english lesson 20 years after school. If people speak to fast or with accent im out.
@@notpoliticallycorrect4774 Plus the water line under in the crawl space will be wrapped with thermostat controlled electric heat tape. I think minimum 8 feet under ground under driveways.
Congratulations nice house. At least they use a trailer to haul it on and not leave the hitch, tires and axles under the trailer after they are done to rot like they do here in Nevada
@@Northern_Farmer The house I live in was put in place 50 years ago. Built 800 km away and trucked in in two pieces Lifted on to a hillside foundation with a crane. About 20 of them came into this city with the expansion of a coal mine. Seems to me even more went in to Thompson Mb even earlier and have since been moved out.
The pile foundation will be far more stable than sitting on grade. The ground clay (which is common in Saskatchewan) will heave and contract with different levels of hydration and frost heave . Piles are installed to below frost levels to mitigate the ground movement.
Whoo hoo! Interesting! I thought at first you'd bought a fancy used house. Here in Australia wood houses of the 'queenslander' style are popular for relocation and renovation.
Id rather have a basement...they are built properly now a days...i like to be able to access plumbing...having the heating and pumps in the basement is way better
Yea basements are a lot better that’s why everyone puts them in as long as you don’t build on low ground they don’t give problems $$ was probably the deciding factor for him
When we built on this hill it was the same money to put in pilings or to put in a basement, so we went the basement route with a walkout door for a farm entrance.
This seems like the XXL version of a tiny house 😁 This kind of job is the most awesome i can imagine, nevertheless your jobs on the farm are fairly equal awesome. Please keep up doing these (and your farm-) videos.
@@aahZeiKfeck man either you are a neighbour or relative or this is stretching the boundaries and getting close to stalking, being nosey is one thing but putting up a comment about it is a little bit…… you know?
@@Andy-ix2ox I’m a farmer in NE Alberta I’m just like Mike I love looking at county/rm maps aswell as google maps and seeing other areas it’s just what farmers do 🤷♂️ I respect mike for what’s he’s built so I’ve looked into the area he farms it’s not that crazy ….. You can literally look up his name on google maps and find his south farm yard is pinned for everyone to see. I wish Mike all the success
my dad loves R/O water incase someone doesnt know what that is its Reverse Osmosis filtration. its aweome you run R/O water ya can never go wrong with it
Mike any update on the CIH 715 build status? Once all the plumbing and electrical is in place, spray foam the bottom of the trailer. Help with insulating and keep rodents out.
I'm pretty sure it came from the factory with the floor well insulated- maybe spray, maybe rigid. They had 8" of fibreglass in the floors by 1974 (a scant 4" in the walls and 6" in the ceiling.)
6000 pounds?? I am having trouble with that number.. Anyhow, looked at modular homes a few years ago. They are an effective way to get good quality housing
It is actually the opposite, as when water freezes it expands thus will the increase in pressure oppose this expansion. This difference is negligent on the low pressure in house plumbing though.
I was hoping they didn't tip the cribbing towers over when the back of the trailer started dragging on the bottom of the house lol I wish we could have seen how they solved that, whether they were able to lift the front of the trailer up with adjustable suspension or something, or some other creative solution! Good crew in any case.
my house has a wooden basement that's fully finished, I hardly go upstairs, like the basement better. where I'm at in Ontario wooden basements are very common, they are warmer.
Correction: Plans changed as we don't want to wear out our welcome with staying with family. So we ll be staying in the house and will make new plans for guys.
Living in a manufactured home myself, I doubt that your stick-built home could survive going down a highway at 70 mph, traveling over undulations and other road irregularities. AND having survived three direct hits in my life from tornado alley tornadoes I can assure you that not much survives as 250 mph winds make Hurricanes seem like a summer storm. Hopefully, you are prepared to bodily survive and if all of your family is OK then you go help your neighbors. So you might call Mike "Trailer Trash" but Mike will call it his family's home as even a falling down shack can be a home. I had a classmate who had brothers and sisters they did not even know and grew up in an old 4-room house with no windows but it was their home. Another classmate lived in an old dirt-floor chicken house with several brothers and sisters but their mother kept that dirt floor swept perfectly. Those classmates knew real hardship and worked their cabooses off to provide a better life for their kids. Times in the 40s with what today we call wounded warriors with PTSD returning by the thousands made for some very rough times. Sadly, my Dad never truly left a foxhole in Guadalcanal even though he survived another 30 years. Sorry for the long story but it irks me when people talk down about manufactured homes.
As an American I can say no it won't fall apart lol in 10 years,, my sister and brother both have homes similar to this and one is over 10 years old and the other is almost 10 and they both look like they was built yesterday. I'm sure if you don't care for them then maybe I can see shit falling apart but no lol.
That’s a nice looking pre built home. That truck driver is definitely a good driver.
May that building transported, put on piers, hooked up to services and finished; be filled with love, family and warmth. that building is then transformed from a structor to a loving home! May you and your family make memories, love abundantly and prosper! My God Bless and keep all who enter in this home I pray Amen! Congratulations much love my man!
Congratulations, Mike, with your new house, and I hope it soon becomes a very happy home. GooLuck.

Nice house trailer. They have come a long way from the seventies
Nice to see you have a spare room for me when I move from Australia to Canada and come work for you. Lol I wish 🤞
Exciting to see the house land! Put your well house over the well so u don't need to horse around with pitless adaptors, just make sure the well is in line with the door so u can pull pump years down the road.
Does that plan go well with a reverse osmosis system in the well house?
@wssides yes would work well, just trench out a drain flush line to a buried barrel with a bit of drain tile to handle the system flush.
Thats a moving experience-😊
Mike, I like your idea for the 'foundation'.
Welcome to East-Central Saskatchewan Mike & family!
Thanks for the video Mike, I enjoy every one.
Thanks for the update! Always so much going on at your operation, it's mindblowing
Mike, i ran on a modular set crew for 14 years. (East coast US) The height and width that the roads can handle up there is amazing!
Now that you have lots of water you can plant trees And get shade and a windbreak
That area usually has enough water to grow trees without watering them. But having the ability for the unusual year is good.
I may have missed the house thing.
The last talk of houses was accommodation for workers.
So is Mike planning on making the North farm his home base and South farm is going to be what the North farm is now.
Not quite understanding his future plans, or maybe we aren’t privy to those.

It is probably for workers and himself.

Looks like you’re moving house! Quite literally! 😂
Congratulations Mike! 👍🏻🎉

We got one last year in November and they had the house set up in 1 day , we were living in our camper at the time

In Saskatchewan, most underground piping is minimum 1800mm below ground. If it is shallower, it has to be insulated.
The skirting will enclose and insulate the underside of the house to the ground. Water lines in Saskatchewan are run 6 feet (2 meters) under ground, as to keep them out of the winter frost line. Mike will likely show this in following videos.

Shout out to your mother in-law for finding the water with the sticks
How kool was that.

We had our house burn to the ground in 99 just before Xmas. We had a new modular moved in and set up. Never looked back
Seems like they would staple a double layer of cardboard over the forward windows just as a precaution against rocks (and birds and such).

Salut Mike magnifique vidéo et la remorque pour la maison est bien et posse sur place et bien intéressante 😂😮😅😊

When did you decide to build a home on the north farm did not know as I was away but good idea good luck

6000 pounds?? I am having trouble with that number..

They are an effective way to get good quality housing
So who did you buy the mobile home from, we're also in the market for one. I like the ones Warman homes builds.

Not much for tornadoes up north
Do you really mean that the driver is not from Saskatchewan laughing

You should install the pump house the nearest possible from the house
