Settling time
Posted: Sun Oct 24, 2004 11:35 am
Hi,
I just purchased a manufactured home, 28X68 and had it set on a foundation. I noticed that it is not completely set down on the sill plate beams of the foundation. It is only off maybe a half inch, but the set crew told me that it would settle in time and that the small gap would disappear. Is this true? I am new to all of this because I replaced a 14 X 70 which didn't even have a slab under it (built in early 70's). What other issues do I have to look forward to? What should I keep my eyes open for that is not an obvious problem? It has not been trimmed out yet, they are coming back this week. Thanks so much.
