I spent two very intense years in school, including multiple workshops, shows, competitions, and a summer working with Brian Newell (no relation with Jeff).

A blog with answers to your questions about HOME INSPECTION and HOME MAINTENANCE GO TO BLOG INDEX

Later homeowner replacements sometimes don’t comply with safety standards for stairs. 6)Skirting and belly wrap (the plastic sheeting that seals the bottom of a mobile home) are required by HUD and critical for moisture control and protecting the underside of the home from animal damage. We often see areas of skirting and belly wrap that have been opened for a repair under the home and not resealed afterwards. There are, of course, other examples of modifications that stray from HUD compliance, but the general principle in keeping a manufactured home within the HUD Code is to leave it alone as much as possible.
If you do decide to proceed with remodeling and additions, consult an inspector familiar with HUD guidelines, or download your copy for reference: HUD 24 CFR Part 3280_2008.pdf.
