What happens here
Begin the installation of insulation and protective barriers under the house. This involves using a Dewalt 20V Max XR nail gun to secure insulation materials like carpet padding and a protective underbelly barrier (likely Tyvek or similar house wrap material) to the frame of the house. Vents are cut into the protective barrier to allow for air circulation. The carpet padding insulation is secured to the underside of the floor joists, preventing heat loss and protecting utilities.
Goal: Insulate the floor and protect the underbelly of the manufactured home
