Where I'm from we build modular sections strong enough so we can simply use a crane to set the pieces.

Stiffening and bracing on that job was totally inadequate. Very lucky you were able to transport them, let alone install them without catastrophic failure.

Wow! In addition to plumb and level, I sure hope they checked every nail and screw in the structure. The stresses put on this were just awful. But the basement swimming pool is a nice touch.

Who thought it would be a good idea to deliver that to a muddy job site and a flooded foundation?

You would think that the ground would have been prepared or a mating system would have been discussed

To the homeowners of this piece of junk. Next time you have $100,000 to blow give me a call.

Nice basement pool!

that "cabin is destroyed and will have problems forever. I'd be pretty pissed if I were the owner.

Tell the builder to put the sliding glass in after the move!

OUCH! OUCH! WOW! OUCH! Come on guys. I'm not about busting chops. But I have to say something VERY positive here! What I have experienced over forty-plus years of dealing with mobile home units being installed is that the very best thing that these people are doing here is to install a concrete foundation! I don't care how well built a mobile home is, without a concrete foundation the home is just a time capsule for destruction. I didn't mark the time, but somewhere around the middle of this there appeared a very beautiful blue blossom flitting about the soil. Thanks, Josh and Sarah for an entertaining show!💖

I just love you two guys. Some. Hard Workers. Love the Truck.

At 8:00 i though it would break. Whats with all the water in the basement, its now mostly trapped under a wooden floor? Sure there are openings up in the wall, but its a lot of water. Mould cave? That was surely a difficult task, with all the mud.

awesome delivery. amazing how it wasn't strong enough and broke by the patio door.

These are fun , have rolled manufactured homes onto foundations , Crane set them , and once used Two cranes in harmony to set a triple wide onto an 11' daylight basement , ohh the feeling of satisfaction ! 👍😎

Everything in this video except the foundation is sketchy as hell. I feel sorry for the homeowners.

Hi Sarah, we have a native dog in Australia called a dingo that’s probably where they got the name from. God bless you love and appreciate you all

We saw the door🤷🏻‍♀️I call it “torquing”. Thank you Sarah for doing the shots. Is it possible to get another microphone to hear Josh speaking too? Great video❣️

The mule makes the dingo look like a chump

And the mold from the stagnant swamp basement will make this one really sick house.

You must have gotten a new trailer. I think I saw the wheel system that allow you to move the trailer rear.

That thing flexing I’m surprised the windows didn’t break.

Incredible job. I hope the builders get all of that water out of the crawl space and everything dried up so that mold doesn't take hold of the entire bottom of the cabin.

Good job! Glad to see you again. God bless you from Port Huron Michigan ❤.

What a gloppy mess to have to deliver into. I sure hope you were compensated well!

Howdy! I hope you won't have to repossess this baby!

I pulled one of the first 16 footer out of Texas up to Rapid City South Dakota. Didn't have all this little equipment. We used Hydrolic jacks, an 8' level, blocks and shims. Terrible structure suspension. Would't by this if I could get it in a claw machine.

The was a rough 1! But u got it see u all on the next 1 ! Keith in sc

Wow, I wouldn't hire you guys if life depended on it. All the time for laying block and all the guys to transport could've built a quality home in same time frame. Love the 2x4 floor joists that buckled in the middle. Conplet trash

That's what she said

Oooohhhhh my God!!! That was amazing.... Por poco me como todas las uñas con los nervios!!!!. Finally you did it👏👏👏

Wow that was a tough one but you guys did a great job .best commentary ever Sarah.

Ply wood mats and a few people to shift them . Price less

I'm amazed that they went ahead with such lousy site preparation. Whoever was responsible for the ground condition should pay for the door.

Josh, this was a challenge!!!! You met that challenge well... This is a driver!!

Cabin looks like it could be an Issue just based on the Size. 🤔👍

That was quite a challenge, glad you got it done. That job site didn't help at all either.

Besides the Glassdoor being shot during them placing the 1st half in.I saw a gap in the corners where its pulled apart.

I believe that is a crawl space not a basement. but they can add a sump-pump to take care of that. And that is one of the better ones that I have seen for sure.....

Looking at the neighborhood this flexible home looks to be a huge improvement.

You need a tow hitch on your front bumper, will make turning much easier.

Put it this way every thing is made of wood not very solid and probably cold when it finished it want spray foaming inside that will make it stronger but saying that the guys did a good job 😂

Time to do some sketchy shit... Do da... Do da. 😮 That's some tonnage there. As a professional wood butcher myself... Plenty of ways to keep those headered door openings from folding the way they did. .... And don't get me started on that HiLift jack hijinks you almost pulled 😂 Good thing the boss lady was there! 🤗

Awesome job getting that junk in place. Why would anyone waste time building something so basic and spend the money and time moving it when it should have been built way better on sight? Also why build half a basement? We moved a 34x60 ft house 200 miles to roll onto our new wooden basement, and our house was complete, after sewer water and electrical panel hook up it was habitable.

That was a muddy mess, but will be totally worth it!!!!!Good job everyone!!👏👏

GOOD JOB! Dumb question? The water in the basement. Is it from rain? Will it have to be pumped out?

Hello guys love watching your videos from fort Worth Tx

Honest question. Does the floor joists have metal?. Or at least some I-beams to move the log house

Nice, a foundation that doubles as a water reserve, or is that a large fishtank?.

Smart thing to do is to fill in the basement with dirt or gravel, move the cabin into position then dig out the gravel. A lot of work, but the Amish love doing things the hard way.

These jobs need to be refused!!!!!!!!

Best line of the day-"I think it's stuck" Sarah as the mule is in the muck over it's treads.

Looks like the keystone Cops......

im sure youre gonna give the owners a discount for the ripped open wall corner

Wow, that was quite an adventure watching that cabin go together, especially in that muddy ground. But it turned out great, and is gonna be beautiful when done, awesome job guys and Girl 👍👍😎😎🤗🤗🍮🍮❤️

It is not a case of the building being too heavy, but it was not braced enough.

Wow awesome job!!

Wow...absolutely pathetic how this was done

i'm glad it is not my home, that was a disaster from start to finish, the ground should have had matting on it and should have used a crane , but 5 hours to put that in was terrable

Hi Josh, Sarah and the guys I’ve been watching your videos for quite a long time now and I’ve never ever seen anything. So impressive is this is totally amazing love and appreciate you all Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia

Founded it funny they Didn't Pump-out the basement befor delivery. That now adds moisture to the floor trusses and can creat a mold issue.

Just because you nail fake log siding to a double wide that dose not make it a cabin

I’m sure it was okay but watch it bow I thought it was going to break. All the water sitting in the foundation will get mold starting if not pumped out right away.

I’d never have a house without 2x8 or 2x12 floor joists. And Pressure treated. That house is about to fall apart already. And there’s standing water underneath already on the slab. Omg.So now there’s going to be a mold problem.

Do you guys have any idea on what that cost roughly. The cabin. Not the footer and delivery. Just curious.

I think I might need a nap now.

At 31:48 you can clearly see the sill plate has come off the subfloor OSB sheathing and the sliding door is trashed. I am sure all the torquing those wall were subjected too has ruined the geometry of the windows as well, rendering them hard to operate freely. All the time the framers spent making sure everything was plumb, level and square was moot. I would not be paying the full price for this abode. It is now damaged goods. We have had several structures delivered to our place and not once have I managed to convince the transporters to come out and check out our situation before ignoring our warnings and getting stuck in our sand. One even told me " this ain't my first rodeo" I said yeah but you ain't ever ridden this bull. Wee, it wasn't Lane Frost's first rodeo either and look that ended up.

One truck of wood and 2 nailguns. 2days and 50000usd further you have the same.

that first section is already broken warped at the sliding doors i wouldn't had allowed it to be installed on that foundation full of water and ground all wet and muddy worthless section of housing as a home inspector i would had flagged that home not passing inspection on my watch

I hope you have insurance on this house

Wow!!! Impressive.

Josh and Sarah I don't know either one of you but I love you both. You are great people. Just know that there is an old lady that loves you.

Well the sliding doors will never close right again and all the window frame joints are cracked, never mind the black mold under the house. The whole thing is a twisted piece of junk

that looks heavy!

You get what you pay for. I sure hate to be the second buyer on this house.

This is funny when your a kid you got your bottom kicked for playing on the mud. But when you get older you get payed to play in the mud. Good video

The moral of this story, don't ever buy an Amish built mobile home. All I can think about is how it will hold up in high wind, and god forbid a tornado.

😮

IF it was my money, I had installed 2 steal H beams underneath IF I had chosen to do it this way. But I had built it on the site itself. B*tt puckering to watch.. to say the least ... oef.. I truly hope all the damage could be undone, and I do mean all the structural issues. Everything already is so expensive, and to have it break and torque like this, not funny at all. I wish all the best to the homeowners, rough start, hopefully better future ahead 🙂

If theirs water in that crawl space now there will be water later wtf ? Just setting that over that lake is awful where do you think that water is going to go when it starts to evaporate ?

I like how they destroyed the slider door putting this in place. When winter comes the wind will blow through these cracks like it's fan on high.

YIKES, that looks more like an over-sized POORLY made shed.....Honestly that should have never been on the road in that sketchy condition, LET ALONE tried to move onto a foundation and almost snapped in half...Who is going to pretend it is a house, when it is clearly not even close to ANY Building codes....Wow!

Just build it onsite and be done with it. Who would want one of these twisted structures?

Wow, this was hard to watch. That structure looked like a wet noodle.

Why didn't they wait for a flood and they could float it on .

The Mud made it much harder

The floor framing looks dicey, its bending under its own weight, shouldn't do that. Ive done a lot of modulars and we always design a strong floor system regardless of how its installed. These guys are cowboys.

Great to see cheap en dump combined.😅

Well, when the first storms are comming the insurance will provide a new home I guess I am European but this is a real strange construction method.

First tornado ,I hope this house is not pick-up-sticks.

The middle of the cabin needs supports as it is sagging badly.Looks like a complete mess with no foreman to take charge of things.Would never buy that cabin as it is liable to fall apart.

WHY on earth would you have it delivered when the ground was so WET!!! I WOULD NOT LIVE IN THIS!!

You Amish cowboys 🤠 ain't nothin nice, building, moving, digging, messin with those mules, dig your video though , mark from baja California!

Man I'd be furious if I was the homeowner and just paid all that money and my house broke in half.. a Chinese person said sum ting Wong 😮😮😮😮 hopefully it gets fixed...

Hi from Mississippi

Not sure I like the way the base of both sections were bowing.

Why not use a crane?

Really wouldn't want these guys doing work for me. Beats me why they don't have steel strips or concrete slabs laid down so they don't keep getting stuck in the mud making thins worse.

What a horrible process

What a joke!!

Not built strong enough. To whimsy
