Better than a BOXABL BUT MOVING this HOUSE is

What happens here

The presenter walks up his driveway, explaining the extensive modifications he made. Originally, the driveway had a dip before ascending, which was unsuitable for the large house. He purchased 30 truckloads of clay, costing $5,500, to fill the dip and create a pure clay center for the driveway. He then contoured and terraformed the sides, explaining that he had planned to move even more soil but was restricted by county regulations. He shows the finished driveway leading up to the prepared concrete slab for the house.

Goal: Modify the driveway to create a stable and accessible path for the manufactured home.

Tools and materials

  • Skid Loader — Shaving, grading, and contouring the driveway with clay
  • Clay N/A — Filling the dip in the driveway and creating a stable base

just trust me it sucked and this is not my ideal driveway by any means if I lived in my ideal world I would have taken that driveway across that way just to give it a little bit more privacy instead of a straight up and down run but the county came in and wouldn't let me move as much soil as I wanted to move they put a stop to it so then what I had to do was B I bought 30 some truckloads of clay $5,500 of clay so I got a Clay Center so the heart of this driveway is pure clay like a square and then I contoured and terraformed the side uh with the amount of material that the county would let me move so they allowed me to take out some of that Hill there alongside of the garage and all of that went to the sides of the driveway and we can talk about how you bid that here in a moment but right now I got more going on than wanting to talk about that morning Frankie morning the set crew should be here pretty quick I just cut these at 3 in up or what uh enough to get a coupling on as Clos huh yeah we got to have enough to get couplings on for sure I mean we can't cut them too low i' rather cut them a little too high have them a little too high than a little too low cuz some of the might not even have to cut because when he swings in here might be even out of the way who knows who yeah maybe who knows right okay so this is a great side shot for you guys what I what I did with that driveway see there's the my neighbor's driveway and it goes down and up now ele our elevations on the road are the same she goes down and then up you can see my driveway over there goes right there so that's the difference but before what my driveway did is it went all the way down into the belly pan of this ditch and then went up like that I'm sure these guys did too they just fed yeah they did they did the same thing except I just did more right you going to bring any in any class five to put oh yeah but it's one thing at a time I just haven't had a chance yet I got my track
