This is the first and BEST video I've seen about Merging a double wide 👍👍
Kudos to these hard working men. That job isn’t for anyone.
In reality... if you're doing it on your own property and you have the money, you really want a basement foundation, or at least a crawlspace. Something permanent. Modern mobile homes are generally durable enough to last indefinitely if they are on permanent foundations. If you have a well-maintained double wide on a permanent foundation and landscape it nicely and build decks, you have an appreciating asset.
As a mobile home setter . You need whole pads under the blocks and plastic if not it's just going to sink and then you have to go back for a relevel.
What’s pay like for you? And are you laborer or boss man lol. And what state. Just curious
This will be just fine with vapor barriers and earthquake straps and pier jacks no worries long as it's not wet around the pad, I have done skirting for 10 yrs, they are ready for kickers, frame, hardy panel, and access box & door, then caulk and paint ,then back fill
it's just fine how it's set up. I have driven past many houses I set up and there still level and almost exactly the same when I set them up so..
depending on site prep all day!!!!
i actually live in a mobile home that was set up like this if you look at it now its way unlevel where the dirt has eroded out i agree to the concrete pads
Need concrete footing to go under both sections to keep from settling.
Awesome content!! Get yourself a translift! Best investment I promise God Bless
The guy that is doing the installation is CUTE!!!
@Chris Piper A woman telling the internet that one guy she sees is cute is now disrespectful? Say it ain't so!
@LENOVOVO I'll pass the word to him on Friday during our meeting to get his ankle bracelet removed.
@Chris Piper I’m hoping so! Lol.

Great video
So can you explain to me how stable the home will be with just the metal bracing on each end like you installed and on blocks verses on blocks with straps. My 56'x32' was just delivered and set up on a base pad with blocks and those braces under each end and I am wondering how well it will hold up over time and if the house will be stable or will you be able to feel someone walking in the house if you are on opposite ends? Just doesn't seem very stable without straps to me.
If I was going to have a home like this, I would have invested in a regular footer and had it set on cement block like a regular home. Settling occurs with anything, but you will have far less trouble with a good footer than piers just put on the ground....
This dude has a bad ass !
The blocks are just stocked one over the other, no bars or anything to hold them to the base, and then the house just on top?
Question, is there supposed to be any gaps between the middle? I checked underneath and there’s gaps and I can see the big screw in the middle where they screwed the two together.
Good bless. 🙏☮️✝️
How many blocks were needed for this job? Trying to figure out how many blocks I need for my first MH setting.
Hello,
Did you leave the triangle adjustment levels in place ? Also what were the block and pipe used for and did you leave them in place also?
Thanks
What kind of plastic or what size of plastic did you use under the home?
What kind of jacks are those
I want to change my cheap skirt for cinder block But those supports that you are installing at 2:10 are on my way. Can i just get rid of them or are they required. I don’t think I can put them inside the blocks
Just wish we could get our new DEAR VALLEY HOME set-up. We bought and paid for our new home 3 months back. Dealer and his set-up guys, now day they don't have the necessary equipment (jadde 2000) mover to put our new home on the property. Anyone have any information as to whom or where we can find such a piece of equipment. Thanks
How are these anchored?
What are the bars you are installing at 2:10 called please
Someone please answer!!Been looking into a mobile home here in Saskatchewan. My only question is, Sask gets very cold in the winter time. How do these pipes not freeze in the winter time, as there is no heat source "under" the mobile home, how exactly does this area between the mobile home and the ground not freeze the pipes? Thanks everyone
so the main water pipes are tucked underneath and usually only 2 crossover connecting lines that get well insulated, ive installed mobile homes for 15 years , good luck with your future home
Does any body know of any good movers in the indiana area. Any help would be hreat, thanks.
No fundation?
I have a new 2022 manufactured home being installed and I have several cracks through out the house in the drywall is this normal with the install of both halves?
Yes. Cracks in a new mobile home are absolutely expected. You are moving several thousands pounds of weight down the highway, after all.
What estate are you are
Why do they put plastic under the building? Wouldn't this cause moisture to get trapped under the building
Only if there is a leak, or an extreme amount of water flowing under the house. A small amount of water is supposed to stay underneath the plastic, and keep moisture out of the crawl space, in theory.
Vapor barrier.
It does exactly what you said. Causes moisture to get trapped. Pretty much worthless. Except it makes crawling a little less dirty lmao. And less sketchy in the dark
it keeps the ground moisture from connecting with the homes underbelly , only time you get moisture above the barrier is caused by improper venting of heat duct or dryer vent
I WOULD LIKE TO YOU SET IT UP A HOUSE FOR MI EN LUCERNE VALLEY AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW MUCH IS GONNA COST ME IT IS DOUBLE WIDE THANKS
I walked a double wide on to a chain wall last week I uploaded a video
What happens if the leveling wood rots out over time?
Replace it.....
A) complain to your neighbors
B) Buy a new house
C) Replace it
D) Call ghost busters
E) All of the above
@@jerrybnasty5115 the answer is always C 😂
It disintegrates
What’s the cost of installation?
I’m in Texas.
Wondering what the cost of having a mobile home moved about 50 miles from the dealers yard and set up runs in Colorado.
I’m being quoted over $6k down here.
That seems high.
What makes it worse is that if the installer runs in to any issues, that price can go up.
I have some people I know that were quoted $6500 and when done, it went to $7500.
Hi Rich,
It depends on the type of home and installation. Can you shoot me an email directly? I'll be able to give you and idea but 6k for move and complete setup of a single wide in Colorado is decent (if permits included too).
Email me at: Kyle@homenation.com
It depends on who you get to move your double wide. I was looking to buy a double wide which would be moved 10 miles here in South Carolina for about $5000. I instead decided to buy a double wide 119 miles away from where I live and the mover only charged me $5900. It really depends on who you hire.
How often does this need to be inspected after install?
It only needs to be inspected once before moving in.
@@Homenationmobilehomes is there any inspection done after the homeowner lives in it for so long?
Every 3 years get it re leveled depending on location and surrounding area
@@ynwdeshawn7511 I doubt this ever gets done. My folks place has been in place for 50 years and it was only releveled once when they had a make shift foundation installed as some remodel work.
@@stevenreeves4766 I do them all the time. Past codes don’t even call for perimeter piers under all load baring walls. Same with center piers. Even your outside walls can sometimes sag and need to be releveled. I’m in Florida. If home is on concrete pad it’s different of course. Less likely to re level. But on sandy soil your frame can be an inch to even 10 inches out of level (worst I’ve seen). I set them in the field. Straight from the factory
Well done son. How long did it take you?
This portion of the project was completed on day #1. Day #2 consisted of Water/Sewer hookups and Skirting/Step installation. A double wide typically takes 2-3 days for full installation.
Kyle Comino how much it cost on 3 days of labor?
@@anallelygonzalez7482 Depends on the area and size of home...double wide install runs anywhere from 4,000-10,000.
@@k_comino My home from Terry Pate Home Sales is running 3-1/2 months. A few anchors came up and I had to get the inspector to fail it. So now they have to fix them. So much B.S.
@@CHEECHMUN Oh that's too bad :( It's rare anchors pull up...possibly weak soil or not deep enough. I hope they get it resolved!
how are the two halves connected together?
they bolt them inside i just had my 60 foot long home put in and watched the whole process
@@Koltonkasner123 do you have any pictures? would love to see how that part works, everyone always skips that part on their videos.
@@stevenreeves4766 naw i don’t have any pictures lol sorry bout that
@@Koltonkasner123 bummer.
Indiana man , working like 3 men
Fremont, Indiana here
Hardly any bricks
Is this considered permanent foundation?
No.
I need someone to do the installation of my mobile home. you can do it or you know of a company
Where do you live I work for a company out of texas
@@TheGorgeramirez How much it cost to install a double wide where you live?
@@natalymartinez3299 here in Houston the price ranges from 4k-6500 all depends on the job difficulty
What is that called at 1:58 plz lmk
xi2 Ground Lateral System
OMG
Says installing… so that’s it? All it takes? Not going to attach the haves together inside the home? This should be titled more like how to level and connect lower. ALOT more to it than that.
I thought these things are placed on the slab of concrete. This looks cheesy. The weight of these things plus after you get all your stuff inside.
No they’re all placed on piers which are these blocks. I know cuz I work on these things
You grade and pack the dirt before install, you don’t just place the piers on unpacked loose soil..
around here the "Piers" are solid concrete and they are set below the frost line all the way up to the house floor.
Cool
I watched them install the two halves of a manufactured house that my neighbor was putting in atop a cement foundation. I watched as they brought the two have together. Then they roofed and sided it. What I couldn't believe though, was the gap they roofed and sided over. They pulled the bottom halves together using a come-along until it mated, where they then bolted them up. Although the bottom haves were flush, the more you moved up the center line, the wider that gap got. It looked to be about 5" at the top. Yet, they did nothing about it, but to finish roofing and siding it. When my neighbor got back, I told her what I witnessed; what they covered up. She later told me that she put it on a list of things to be corrected by the installer. I don't see how that's possible, now that all the utilities, like gas and electric and septic, have been installed. I could be wrong, but it looks like she got screwed to me.
As someone who sets mobiles homes every day, I can safely say 99% of the time, when there is a problem, it is poor build quality from the factory.
@@redsynister4836 I'm no pro, but I think you are right. The factory built a fabricated house that didn't match up, sent it out anyway hoping against all hope that it wouldn't get noticed, and then the installers covered up a build gap wide enough at the top to pass a bowling ball through. Just how they covered that gap in the interior, is beyond me. Smart money says the chief installer called the factory for instructions on what to do in this situation, and was told to go ahead with it anyway. In my book, a man or woman's work should reflect his or her professionalism. It's this kind of thing that gives the industry a black eye that pros like yourself must not only bear, but clean up after. Good on ya!
@@redsynister4836 lol. Have they ever shipped one that didn't have a leaking kitchen sink
@@1973noxqses I wouldn't know, I only block, anchor, and lag them together. I dont mess with plumbing 😜
When the house is leveled and put together. Sometimes the peaks are not lunges up yet. You then have to lag the floors and rack the house in. This closes the house up. It is done before metal is ran down the centerline of your roof.
