Setting a Deer Valley Modular home with a grove crane On the job Where we installed the septic

[@KentuckyDreamHomes]

This home was sold by Kentucky Dream Homes, go to kentuckydreamhomes.com for more information. Deer Valley was the home builder.

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Thanks for allowing us to watch the installation... I’d not seen that before!

[@americanpatriot2.06]

As impressive as it is, I'm more for the old fashion built up from the ground house. One thing is for sure, it's a different way to manufacture a house and is a step up from the mobile home.

[@RedHeart1]

Could you share the exact provider..by any chance was it Family Dream Homes I’m looking into the Paducah location, but can’t find any reviews.

[@ricka5471]

It was great of the home owner and setting company to let us see how a modular home is set and put together. Thanks to them for this.

[@DirtPerfect]

Yup and thanks for watching

[@southernoutdoors5515]

One of the best built, most expensive modular homes built. They build them here in my home state Alabama I've actually been to that plant for those homes and the building process is just as neat to watch. It's done like an assembly plant for cars..

[@DirtPerfect]

Interesting

[@nancygoodman8273]

My husband worked at a place that built modular homes from the ground up. There was 4 different plans to choose from.

[@cliffblackburn8102]

Holy cow i would never walk under that 💯 holy!! Jeez!!

[@JDseller1]

They did not even knock any mirrors off!!! LOL Interesting video. I have seen them set before but never had the high drone view and that made it much easier to understand. Thanks to the owner and crew for allowing you to shoot this for our enjoyment.

[@DirtPerfect]

Lol

[@genecoppedge5972]

Wonder if OSHA ever scan you tube for safety violations such as this? Best modular home setup video I’ve seen. Personally I’m in the beginning process of ordering the LaBelle from Palm Harbor Homes in Plant City, Florida. It’s a triple wide and will be rated for 180 mph wind load. I can feel the guys excitement watching his new home being delivered.

[@gdotone1]

man! that is cheaper than stick built? definitely faster than stick. nice home. nice work Jason and crew.

[@ShawnPanter-w9z]

I'd imagine there has to be multiple drywall repairs at least in the ceilings or in the corners of the walls

[@davestinson5691]

Thanks for takin better part of ur day to show this. I learn something new all tha time. Those guys work their ass off i bet. Heck of a cylinder on crane. Bet that cost a dollar or 6

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks for watching

[@cliffblackburn8102]

Great video! 💯 I was setting moduler homes in North Carolina 4 years ago.. super hard job carrying block..and clean up was a nightmare loading those axles..

[@Losttoanyreason]

That was fun. Nice of all the people involved to let us gawk at them and the process while they worked. Obviously some of these workers carrying pipe have never watched a Final Destination movie. Ekkkk!

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks buddy

[@royordway9157]

I know of at least 100 of these homes in my area and at one time I owned one. I have never seen them being set up. Thanks Mike, homeowner and set up crew.

Mike Appreciate all your projects but ones like this is great. If you can please continue with others types of projects.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@SledgeHammer43]

Best thing about Modular Homes is less weather interference. Depending on manufacturer I have seen Exterior walls as thick as 2x10 and up to 3 units wide or 48 and 120 long. It was 2 units long 3 16 ft section wide and 3 stories tall. I was stick framing a massive 4 car Garage that was 16 ft interior walls 46 wide by 30 deep. It had one 14 ft by 12 door and the others were 10 x 8. According to the electricians it was being wired for a 2 post lift, a 230v air compressor, and Central heat and air. But due to a privacy concerns and no disclosure contract that is where I have to leave it.

[@cathiwim]

Don Hanson i forget which state(Arkansas?) but their Executive Mansion is a triple wide! No joke!

[@SledgeHammer43]

@@cathiwim there is major differences between trailers and Modular homes. Modular homes are built just like a stick framing just done in a factory, the trailer is just for transportationto the site where it is picked up and placed on a solid foundation. The foundation can be a slab, crawl space or a full basement. A trailer home or mobile home usually has 2x3 walls framing and Is built light weight. And has to keep its frame.

[@machinemoverman4614]

I have set many modulars, the ones I set use to be built in Decatur, IN, I think they are out of business now All American Homes. I run a 30 ton P&H, I set probably 75 -100 homes in Central and southern Ohio. Good times! I talked to Jimmy, at To the Top Crane, I know he thought I was full of crap when I told him the size of crane I set them with.

[@johnbourgeois1414]

I was dispatched with my crane once to set the second story and roof on a modular house, I thought I was going to set prefabricated wall panels and trusses but when I got there and asked when the rest of the house was getting there I was informed it was there already assembled they just needed me to fold it out I was amazed as we made each lift the whole second story and shingled roof was done in about four hours

[@DirtPerfect]

Interesting

[@pattucker612]

It was very enjoyable, watching. I wondered how they did that..good video

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@digdrivediy]

That was really interesting! I've seen them being set from a distance but never up close like this. In the beginning I was thinking the roof had a goofy pitch and was surprised to realize it hinged up like it did. Pretty cool stuff and thanks for spending a good part of your day to capture it on video!

[@toddreynolds8875]

Good vid. What a view

[@michaelholmes458]

WOW. I really like this video. My late Uncle had a modular home with a built in basement. 3 bedrooms full baths, kitchen, dining room, and huge living room, huge basement in Glenarden, Maryland on a small street about 70 feet from the Capital Beltway. I remember sleeping over as a kid listening to the big trucks at night. I loved that. It was my most favorite house to sleepover. The home was built in the late 1960's. And all the houses in that subdivision were modular.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks Michael

[@thomasdesmond2248]

You wouldn't believe how many Mobil homes I moved. When I was a young man. I had to move one off a Earthquake fault line that opened up. After the Northridge Earthquake. That was a lot of fun. A lot of very nervous people. OSHA, FEMA, Fire Department and Southern California Edison. God bless

[@RKHarm24]

Back in the late 60's, boys down the street, their Dad, Glenn, ran a crane. Big GROVE. One of the biggest in Dallas at the time. Charges started as soon as he left the yard in South Dallas and Stopped when he came back in the gate on a 1 day job. Top Speed was 45-47 mph. He did a job for a neighbor, raised a poly Swimming Pool off the trailer, hoisted it across the owners 2 story house and sat it in the sand padded hole in the back yard. He held it up while all connections were made underneath and sides, then set it down nice and easy. Fire Department came over, run lines to a fire hydrant, to the truck and line to the pool. It had to be filled immediately incase there was a rain, the pool would pop up out of the hole. FD filled the pool in a couple of hours, before dark. Home owner knew capacity so City of Garland, Tx charged going rate for the water and a fee for the truck, lines and manpower. Faster than a garden hose.

[@DigginLife21]

Fun vid Mike!!!

Nice wake up with dirt perfect. Really nice video. Those guys don't mess around. Thanks for letting us watch that

[@waltermattson5566]

Thanks for letting us see how this is done. Very cool. I could not believe the guys walking under it.

[@DennisDuboisLifeview]

I lived in a modular home for a number of years. We put a full basement under it which made the install a little more interesting because of the additional plumbing etc. It was a great home. The crane work on the install increased the pucker factor pretty high I will say. Good video. Lots of people have no idea of how the operation is done.

[@DirtPerfect]

Awesome and I bet

[@eugenesanderlin3043]

My Sister and Brother in Law purchased one ,I was away when it was set. Thanks for the video, gave me insight into procedure.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@Crewsy]

My Dad has been the General Contractor for a few modular home installs and the number 1 most important thing to be ready for install day is to have a square and level foundation because you know when the house shows up it is definitely going to be square. My Dad didn’t do the block work but did do the footings and framed in the attached garage on one that I remember. Getting water onsite for the block layer involved a small stream, pump and tarp in the back of his truck. Fun times. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@DirtPerfect]

Lol very true

[@jwg19444]

👍 Nice. Deer Valley website says 2x6 exterior walls. Thanks for the vid, Mike

Thanks for the video.Very interesting.Scary when those guys run under the load but was all good

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks mike

[@redmanreality6243]

So reasoning leads to the first number in model number is axle count and last 3 is frame tonnage. Come across any other grove cranes and should be able to figure out the tonnage on the spot. Awesome video DP. Seen houses set in real life and this video does a great job of showing what it's like to see it. Keep up the great work Mike!! 👍

[@michaelholmes458]

I really love all types of houses but this modular really brought back memories. I always had an affection for modular homes. Just down right interesting how they are made and delivered. I was very young but was there when the home was brought in in 2 sections. Mike, you really gave me a super fine treat of a video this morning. Man, you are one super great guy. Thank you for ALL your videos. Loved the puttin the kids to work video....funny....but very educational for your children

[@augustreil]

Pretty cool and thanks to those guys for letting you video the process. I always heard that modular homes were built a little stronger to be able to withstand the long journey they have to make ? Thumbs up !!

Thanks to all that allowed the filming on the job site. The neatest thing I observed was the "Spreader Bar Rig". Unit came with protection at the known strap locations. No I hope this will work rigging. This made for a safe and easy on the unit lift. Nice work guys!

[@BlueDually4x4]

That was really cool of those guys and the home owner to let you film setting the house. I've seen those remote building toters before. They built a retirement home several years ago when I just started hauling trusses, the entire building was prefab from a factory except the roof. They built the roof on the foundation, then lifted the roof a section at a time and slid the prefab units underneath the roof with those little remote toters.

[@Bigjoe29]

Back when I just graduated from high school I went to work for American homes in Morgantown West Virginia. This video brought back a lot of memories. I worked there about a 6 months to a year. During the summer you'd work from day light to dark

[@gregorybondi5220]

Bet there are a lot of 8-13 year olds that saw a future career in moving modular homes. Im sure there is a lot of angst associate with moving and maneuvering that expensive beast on roads and building sites like that. Obviously that little tractor device has some tight tolerances and a ton of power to move that stuff so carefully. Thanks for the video. That was nice -- also appreciated you were able to go have lunch in the middle -- most importantly!

[@bradleyschroeder1738]

Reason the crane only goes 53mph is the tires, tires are so massive they would blow apart any faster than 53, read the ratings on your tires of your dump truck ect, the floats we use on our quad axle dumps in Wisconsin are rated for 68 mph

[@garywest8901]

About 15 years ago. A crane dropped a modular home in the cellar hole. Homeowners were watching. It made the front cover of town report that year. The damaged section was hauled off in dumpster and the company made a new section at factory and sent it. The crane over extended to clear chimney from previous house and out riggers sunk in the lawn. Second time they removed the chimney. and section went on fine.
