Question:

Is it possible to put a manufactured/mobile home on a permanent foundation with a basement?

We own a 2002 Fleetwood something or other double-wide (bought last November)Currently, it is in a quot;communityquot; (read: trailer park)The community itself is nice, the people are nice, but we'd really like to move the house onto our own land somedayWe already know it's going to be pricey, but.Instead of having a traditional mobile home set-up (on pillars with a crawlspace), we were wondering if it's possible to have an actual basement (for the heater and extra storage space - possible extra living space if we finish it)? The crawlspace is nice and all, but having to do any work under there (the ducts, pipes, drawing ethernet lines, etc.) is a real pain in the butt.Any idea of what the associated costs may be (a ballpark figure would be just dandy!)?Thanks for your time!

Answer:

Yes it is very possible to set a manufactured home on a permanent foundation or a basement Be aware that you will need a large crane to lift the home and place it on the foundationYou did not say what size it is so there is no way to give any estimates for costThe foundation / basement cost would be very close to the same as one for a regular house.
Clean your tater, rub with olive oil and then salt and pepper to tasteI add alittle garlic to the skin tooMakes the house smell goodPierce the tater with a fork and then wrap with foilBake until it feels firm but gives alittle.
