If You Brick A Dog House, It's Still A Dog House?

I can picture it, but I gotta ask ......... what about the overhang? They have so little anyway, that would make it what...... 0.10 of an inch??

As for the fire code angle, I'll have to research that..... you've got me noodle working. However, most wobbly box fires we get are already vented out the plastic walls and roof before anyone calls 911. Maybe get confine the fire to one end and save a piece of furniture or two (have even saved a pet BOA snake ) but they are usually a total lose.

Tom, I just goota ask...

If you bricked up the camel and his gases built up and the camel was laying around the camp fire with the Rag Heads. Would the explosion blow them all back to Iraq? Thank you, Florida Jerry (God Bless America)

2 Iraq's were riding a camel through the desert. They came upon an oasis one said to the other. "You know we really need this camel we should let him drink first." Well the camel just wouldn't drink. The first Iraqi said "Ok, I will hold his head under the water and you go around back and try to suck the water in like a straw." After a few minutes of this the Iraqi that was on the opposite end from the water yells to the other Iraqi and says "Hey, don't hold his head so deep. All I'm getting is mud."

Ok children! Camel jokes go to the water cooler! Stick to the subject---and for the last time it is a manufactured home!

This could be a first, a locked thread in the Manufactured Housing forum.
Jo Ann from Tims's description, I gotta call this one a trailer

Bobby, is it a trailer because of the owner's attitude? or housing style?

This past week, I looked at my first trailer in many, many years. As time goes by, they become more rare........ thank God. This was a 2BR/1BA 1974, surrounded by several framed additions. Looked surprisingly decent, new vinyl siding, and almost looks like it could be mistaken for a site built if it were appraised on a 2055 drive by. But it now has a 2 car garage, bedroom addition, living & dining addition and a master suite....... all built on wood piers. :blink: Don't know if they were on footings, but guessing probably not. <_< Owner kept bugging me about what's it called ...... it's a house now ain't it?? Tried many ways to 'splain it nicely, until I got to my boling point. Then I just let 'em have it straight up, no politeness, Once a trailer, Always a trailer!

Mell in my opinion they become a "trailer" the minute they do something weird like adding a cedar shake roof, brick veneer siding or a "Bama Room" with ceramic tile and a whirlpool. My favorite additions are the "Earnhardt Rooms".......those miniature museums that have sprouted up everywhere and become shrines to the king with thousands of miniature black #3s. I'll bet the Intimidator even gets a chuckle since he's now able to view them all.

As for mobiles, last week I got an honest to God mobile home to inspect. 1973 I think it was made. It was an REO and amazingly it still had the data sheet on a closet wall. This one had the shell of an Earnhardt room........they left the posters, but took all those valuable little cars. First time I ever typed "mobile" in a report. I wanted soooooooo much to put "trailer" in the report somewhere.
