First Day On New Foundation- Modular Home



New Home at The Orchard Retirement Home Park, Waynesville, NC

Six units are brought in on hydraulic leveling skids atop a 5,000# trailer for each, for this 3,000 sq. ft. home.


The ground work being done, utility lines in place, crawl space dug in; the footers are poured and block foundation laid within the exact measurements of the home. The foundation block is also filled with concrete and leveled within 1/8" horizontially.



The homes' 2" x 10" floor joists rest on the top plate of the
foundation, as well as columns structured in the crawl space for center support.
You can see why a modular home meets the standards and codes of a stick built home.

Tips on Relocating to a New Home

.1. Choose the best New Location for you.
Consider the full potential of your new home.
Your hobbies, family members, your pets, work location, taxes.

.2. Know your finances. Roughly figure your savings
to equal 20% of the property's Purchase Amount for
conventional loan down payment.
If you have and overage, it will help with closing costs.
Closing Costs:
Home Inspection
Property Survey
Attorney Fees for Closing
Loan Origination Fee

.3. Choose your Realtor. On this point I would like to point you to www.robyntompkins.point2agent.com This is a full service site by which you can seamlessly choose location of properties to view.

This site also allows you to search for a mortgage lender, and each property viewed gives
and estimated monthly cost for each property.

The Attractions of WNC

The internationally known Biltmore House, Surrounding National Parks and the Blue Ridge Parkway, Ski Trails and Hiking Trails, Hanicrafters Museum are a named few to start.
Lush Mountain Golf, Waterfalls, and Rocky Mountain Elk.

The mountain communities provide excellent health care facilities, and convenience to
well known name brand shops and restaurants.

Born and bred in the Mountains of Colorado -- I appreciate the scenic beauty of The Smokey Mountains, and the milder winters, and in just a short day trip a person can find room to roam in pristine Mountain settings with roaring creeks flowing from the high mountain lakes and springs. The attractions of the area make setteling here a remarkable experience surrounded by National Parks with Hiking Trails, Skiing Trails, Harrah's at Cherokee,Handicrafts Museum, International Folk Moot, Newly Refurbished Ghost Town and even Ghost Town Harley Davidson. Upon exploring many of the locations surrounding these attractions, by working together we can find the ideal new home site just for you. Sincerely, Robyn
