We bought 40 acres in Oregon last summer and are building a house on it. The house will probably not be ready until March of 2008, about 2 years from now. The timing, based on when we will move, not the builder's ability to build the house. In the mean time we are at the property a lot of weekends and intend to be there for a couple of months this summer.
Anyway, our real estate agent found someone who will give us a single wide mobile home to stay in while we are up there if we pay for moving it off his property. While it is not a thing of beauty, it beats the heck out of the 30' motor home we have been staying in on weekends.
We have a good spot for it, and I have talked to a professional mover.
He claimed that all I needed is a level spot with ~ 8" of 3/4" minus rock on it the length and width of the trailer as a pad for the trailer.
I can hire someone to do this, or I can buy the rock and get some seat time by doing it myself.
Question: Does 8" of 3/4 minus rock sound like the correct pad for a single-wide?
It only has to last for 2 years, but it is a lot easier to do it right before the trailer is on it than to re-do it with the trailer in place.
