Lets Face it. The manufactured housing industry is evolving.Back in the early eighties when I first got in this business something like this was common. I remember the first home like this I set. Just screw the tongue up or down to get her level long ways. Throw a four foot level on the floor in the laundry room. Kick her over side ways with a small jack. Put a few block on the ground to support her. Throw in four anchors to the side and this baby was done.MAN HAVE THINGS CHANGED! |

I set over 200 of these multi-sectional homes in one year alone while working for one of the largest retailers in the country.There has been a lot of changes here too! I remember what a stir in the industry when word got out Jake Fisher was starting a line of hinge roof systems with the old Fisher Homes Manufacturing plant. We started using the water level about that time sent a man down to georgia to learn to use it .Some of you remember that thing with the adjustable base and the wind up tubing. We soon found out a milk jug and some clear tubing along with some food coloring would do the same trick . And save quite a few bucks too round $300 I think. |
I set my first off frame round 1989. We used an old rail type system we bought out of St Louis called The Brinkley. Had to jack up the home and roll it over the foundation then lower it down again. Made for a long hard day!Man getting all that steel out from under that home through that one access door was one task. Thank God we discovered Cranes. |

Then soon when the factories started saying they were working on multi-sectional they really meant it. Three and four box units started to be the common. Started stacking boxes on top of boxes. Roof pitches started getting 7/12 9/12 10/12 even 12/12.My boss called me in one day and told me he wasnt paying carpenters to bridge roofs in together any more I would have to learn how to do it.Took a few lessons but soon I was able to tie-in a roof as good as the best of them. |
