Well yea but.. manufactured homes ARE real houses lol. I know they can differ in quality but I’m not talking about a motorhome or something on wheels.
These types of manufactured homes.. or “houses that are moved?”... are what we’re talking about, right?

I don't think they make/build "real" houses anymore that can be moved.
I might be wrong, but this house Brown bought is not a manufactured home like you are thinking.

Now a days they build homes (here) on concrete foundations, right?
I don't think these kind can be moved.


I do know that these kind are being raised though...I have no clue how that is even possible but they are raising a lot in certain areas of Houston due to the constant flooding. (Harvey)

That is a super cute window. Would make an awesome little reading nook.

Ah.. so, these houses weren’t built with the intention of being moved then? How do they put them on a trailer?
That’s so interesting, I’ve never even heard of this!

Cause you are too young! LOL

As if you need to be old to know how houses work..?

No, it is not how I was thinking.
I wonder how they raise them up, there’s no way you could raise a modern built house up like that.

I was meaning that only old houses where built this way....way before your time so you may not be familiar with these type homes.

I've been working on getting permits for everything since March. The damn county is putting up all kinds of roadblocks and taking their sweet time.

When I finally get the building permit (hopefully this week) I've got contractors on hold to come in and build a grade beam on pile foundation (3' crawl space). They are also going to build up my drive (currently a hay field) so that the movers can come back, load it onto the truck again, get it up a hill & slide it onto the foundation.

ETA: once the foundation is in, it needs 2 weeks to cure before the house can go on it.

Ah, very cool. How did they manage to lift the house without damage? So impressive!
