Jag, I have seen some trailers in the ozarks that made me think, how on earth did the manage to get that trailer in a spot like that? That picture is wothy of the Jerry Springer Show!!

Seems easier to blade a flat and put it lengthwise along the hillside, but then, different strokes for different folks! Give some folks money, and they will do some foolish things! )

They sure don't have to worry about water in the basement. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif I guess there is some reason for it......

years ago, my dad sold some land on a hillside forested with douglas fir. The buyer made a mobile home park out of it, and a couple people cut trees on the downhill side of their lots, and used the trees for same purpose. Only difference was they built 'carports' underneath the mobile home. Thought that was strange also.

How'd they do that?

They cut the trees off at the level necessary (20-30 foot 'stump'), used a cat to back the mobile home up the grade, and jacked the critter up, slid (I guess) it over unto the stumps. They remainder of the trees they had used for bracing to the hillside. In both cases, they had added supports midway, and dug a flat area under the mobile home for the carport. Relatively cheap way to do it, but to each their own. Danged if I know if they're still hanging in there! I haven't driven over through there in years.
