We searched long and hard for a mobile home to put on our foundation.   There are many out there if you know where to look.  Private sales generally come from either trailer parks that are closing down or mobiles on personal property that have outlived their usefullness.   We found ours through a house moving company,  the Pridy Bros.   The owners of the mobile just wanted it off their land.

Unfortunately I was very disappointed with the service we got from the house movers.   Despite charging twice as much as a regular mobile home moving company,  they didn’t include leveling the home.

Not to mention they got their truck stuck in the ditch within 5 minutes of being there!!

Since the Pridy Bros. had not brought the proper equipment,  we had to get our excavator to come out in the evening to save these guys from being forever stuck in the ditch.   Then they abandoned their truck and let a backhoe push the building into position,  complaining the entire time.

I still sit up in the middle of the night suddenly angry all over again at the Pridy Bros.

George of Bowater Backhoe Services ended up pushing it singlehandedly up a dirt road,  with the help of some neighbors.  Thanks George!
