Ripping 1x4 to 1x3

What do you guys mean by manufactured homes. Are we talking about double wides that are basically two moble homes driven to a site and bolted together - maybe placed on a crawl space foundation or just piered and skirted like any other moble home, or are we talking about multi-sectioned houses trucked in and assembled on a foundation or basement. Both of these have pretty much the full interiors done at the factory and have fully clad exteriors. The "manufactured" homes I am seeing alot of here in western PA are factory made wall, floor and roofing sections that are trucked in and then put together via cranes on site-built basements. The exterior work (vynl or brick or a mixture) is mostly done on site as is most of the non-framing related interior, including drywall, plumbing, electrical, HVAC and cabinetry. Virtually all finish carpentry is done on site. I guess the framing and sheathing is what is factory done.

Dave, Talking about "real" factory homes that look like standard homes. More or less could not tell if you drove by one. Or your second description.

My in fact came from a factory in Western PA, all the way to MA. Go figure.

Hey swingman, doesn't it get a bit hard to breath with your head that deep up your butt?
