Thanks David, that was exactly my view. Unless he can add insulation and keep my ventilation (soffit/ridge vent) system working it won't be happening on my watch.

I have a Insulation company coming next week to look at adding insulation to my exisiting 3/12 roof cavity in my double wide. He talked about creating a Hot (unventilated) roof by completly stuffing the cavity by going up throught the soffit vents with blown in insulation. I'm getting mixed views on...

Thanks, That all makes perfect sense. It would be really nice if they could do the foundation project without to much destruction to the existing slab. I'm thinking they could cut through the slab to install the below grade footers and then continue with the remainder of the project details. I would...
