Instead of having the bottom plate wood in contact with the ground what are your thoughts on using patio blocks (cement 18x18x2 inches thick) on leveled ground, then put the bottom plate on these blocks? A trailer 70x14 feet would need about 112 blocks , This might help prevent the bottom plate from rotting as well as keep some of the critters from digging under Plus, if the outside walls started to sag, the extra width of the patio blocks verses the regular wood might provide more resistance to the sagging. Thanks for considering this.

Hi! First of all thank you so much for this video! It's time to change out my skirting as I've neglected to take care of it. The wood has rotten out on the inside and the panels are shot from the rain and sprinklers here in California. I want to do it right and your video really helps me to get started. Just a few question so I get it right. Pressure treated 2x4s and do I need to put a primer on them as well? Also the framing you made had 2x4s already on top just under the mobile home. Did you put those there and how did you secure them? Screws? Thanks again and i appreciate your time!

If you go back to my videos and you look at the timeline of that video you’ll see we did several videos of this job and yes we added the top plate first and we used 3 inch screws on the outside of the wall on the bottom you’ll be screwing into the OSB or whatever is on that floor and the bottom plate of your wall screws 3 inch and I use pressure treated wood only and you do not have to prime it as a matter fact I don’t recommend it kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYe1mWirl9upibs The video below is the one you’re looking for installing the top plate.

My biggest issue with this is the fact you have wood sitting on dirt going right up to wall plate of the home, it's gonna get eaten up by termites atleast the plastic skirting doesn't provide a buffet for them. My other issue is you taken load off the houses steel I-beams frame blocks and shifted it to a part not intended for it when it was designed. The blocks are now more susceptible and prone to shifting raising risk of the house falling.

You can't put a load on the skirting of a mobile home. It's only design is to nail the skirting on and keep it there, not for lifting or carrying the load of the building. You need to adjust the blocks to get your trailer back to level. The moment the ground loosens from rain it will slowly sink back down. The skirting of the house is NOT a footer. It's simply a patrician for nailing the skirt to.
