The day modular home is set on the bases is the most important day of your new home construction. His neighbors go to work one morning and see a concrete hole in the ground and when they get home from work at night, they see a house almost complete.

I'll detail the day my modular home is set so that you know what to expect. The construction of each modular home is a little different. The number of sections to be determined, the method in establishing the foundations, design of the work and the type of house construction, play a role in how your house is on the base. These differences make the configuration of each modular home unique.

First, all the necessary equipment and sections of the house arrives. My house is a ranch-style house was in two sections that were created using a crane mountainous and wooded terrain.

The crane arrived first, along with a transport truck backing plates and another truck with counterweight crane. The following sections of the house and the whole team modular home company showed up. From this point on, all day was a working nonstop.

The equipment necessary for removal of sections of the house. Then, the hardware holding the sections temporary trailers be removed. While this was happening, the company's crane was positioned the crane outrigger pads placed on the railroad tie that had brought and extend the arm.

Then, the support beam for the house is required to be set in the pockets is poured into the two ends of the foundation. This beam spanning the length of the ground floor and the support of the modular home. The beam was established in cat messages placed in the basement in the square 30-inch 12 inches thick concrete pier pads had been poured under the basement floor. The beam of two pieces set in place and ran together.

After the beam that spans the length of the foundation was created in its place, the first half of the house was established on the base and the beam. Chains hooked on both side of the house and used phrases for kids to shoot, while the modular house position just right on the foundation. After the first half of the house was attached to the foundation, the roof was raised hinge with the crane and nailed in place.

Next, prepare the second modular housing section to be posted on the bases. The hinged roof in the second section is up and nailed in place while still on the ground. Then rises and sets on the bases and snugged up the first half of the house using blocks of the chain.

After both sections of the house are in place and attached to the foundation, the house must be weather-proof. This was temporarily sealed at both ends of the house with plastic until the crew could finish out the following week and finish the house. Everyone charged with his tools, dismantled the crane and went home.

It took nearly eleven hours to transform our sort of a foundation slopes gave birth to a house with a basement. There was still much work to do, but today a fact visually clear how much had already been completed.
