Is a roof pitch of 3/12 on a manufactured home OK, or will there be problems because of it?

I don't know where you heard under 4 1/2. I work for a tecta america company. They largest roofing contractor in the US. Not no fly by night roofing company like I'm sure the first guy who answered was. \n\nLast winter when we were working in Florida after the Hurricanes, found out that many of the roofs down there are 3 to 4 inches of a roof pitch. 3 1/2 roof pitch is just fine and you shouldn't have any problems at all. The whole state of florida didnt' so why would you. The roofs down there don't need to have a huge pitch like us up here in Minnesota. We have to worry about snow sitting on it. This causes ice damns also. But you don't have to worry about that.

A friend of mine has fixed two flats in the last year.  Be sure to contact sun mountain.  Both of his flats were fixed for free.

To be honest, the cost of manufactured homes have increased so much, you might find a better deal on an existing house. Unless , of course, you already have some land you were going to move on to.

You can check with your local county engineering office.  They may or may not be willing to loan you this information.

I dont think you'd want a FOS less than 3.  Side friction on a pile is something that is not easy to estimate and is highly variable.  You want to be sure that you aren't going to have failure later because it could bring down your whole structure if one pile fails and you end up with differential settlement.

That would depend on what size building it was and if there was a building code then. It also depends on whether or not the builder followed the building codes- they weren't always enforced.

We own a Crossroads Cross Terrain TF38TS. I love our floor plan with dinette and couch on the front side of the trailer. I really have no dislikes.

It's way too risky, you need permits for that kind of repair and for City Inspectors to buy off the work done.\nIf you plan to sell the house later, and you have had work that was done without  permits, you may have to have them redone, to secure the sale. The buyer may have a problem getting a mortgage to buy your house.\nThen as you stated, roof repair, can be hazardous, and if he or a worker falls and gets injured, you may be up the creek.\nFor smaller jobs, he may just be the man, but for something as large as a roofing job. Go with licensed    contractor, that way you at least have coverage and if the job isn't done right, some recourse in court.

It will depend on the location, volume, local regs so you need to talk to a local engineer and have it properly designed.

You can purchase a mobile home from a company like Palm Harbor Homes and they will get you financed for a land home package with no money down.  I am buying one and yes your family will have plenty of room.  You can get a three bedroom for about 60000, and I dont know how much land you want  or where you live but you can do it.  My problem is getting financed for land by itself they always want 25% down any suggestions?

the pretruding ends shouldnt be more than a little over cars length i guess but as far as i know as long as you got the flag on and the lumber/pipes are tightly sercured you should be okay. if you get pulled over blame it on your bos or take the ticket to your boss and show him it and have him reimburse you because he told you to do it and if you didnt he wouldvve writen you up or tried to fire you make sure you tell him that and be like "what was i gonna to do say no to you so you could write me up or fire me?" to your boss if he gives you crap about reimbursing you for a ticket he caused you to get

i bought a house built circa 1880. its definitely got a lot of character, but its a fixer-upper. but, as long as theres nothing structurally wrong with the house, you should be ok. i've got a lot of connections with plumbers/conctruction and stuff because my dad works with them as an electrician. so, i chose to get more, but have to work on it. generally with newer homes you get less, but its done and in perfect shape. and with condos, theres no work at all to be done, but theres fees.

One is the diameter(size) of the prop ( 26"?)....the other is the pitch(16"?).... which means the the prop will theoretically ....travel forward 16" each revolution....\n\nthe lower the pitch.... the more pulling power you will have.....but a slower top speed......... \n\nthe higher the pitch..... less pulling power.... but a higher top speed....\n\nA general all around good pitch for a family boat is a 19" pitch.....\n\nBUT THE OVERALL PERFORMANCEOF THE BOAT..... DEPENDS ON THE HORSEPOWER AND THE SIZE/WEIGHT OF THE BOAT....AND OTHER FACTORS...

That depends upon the torque of your engine and how much weight it has to push through the water. If you have too much pitch- it will lug your engine and cause damage to it. If you have too little pitch--your engine will over-wind and that will cause damage, also. Your best bet, is to consult your friendly-neighborhood marine dealer. Most are only too happy to help you figure out what you need, then sell it to you. That's how they make a living.

What do you see as problems in 1-3 years, 3-5 years, etc? \nHe'll most likely tell you anyway, such as how long the roof will last before you need to reshingle.

If it is a post 1976 structure on fee simple land and you have 25-30% down, two years full income documentation, two years housing history (rent or own) and good credit you should be able to get a 20 year fixed fannie mae loan somewhere in the 6.5 - 7.0 range. \n\nIf it is on leased land, not attached to the ground or anything else funky your going to have a very difficult time doing something with a manufactured home in CA. You may have to goto a specialty company 10-14% range.\n\nDrop me a line and we can go over your specifics.\n\nKevin 866-562-6838 x 106\nkruorock@firstratelending.com
