Setting a Deer Valley Modular home with a grove crane On the job Where we installed the septic 

This home was sold by Kentucky Dream Homes, go to kentuckydreamhomes.com for more information. Deer Valley was the home builder.

That was really interesting! I've seen them being set from a distance but never up close like this. In the beginning I was thinking the roof had a goofy pitch and was surprised to realize it hinged up like it did. Pretty cool stuff and thanks for spending a good part of your day to capture it on video!

It was great of the home owner and setting company to let us see how a modular home is set and put together. Thanks to them for this.

That was crazy amazing how they threaded that thing through those trees with only inches to spare... no panic... great...

"If the chandelier is rockin' don't bother knockin'!" Great video! Really interesting information inserts too!

Thanks for the video.Very interesting.Scary when those guys run under the load but was all good

👍 Nice. Deer Valley website says 2x6 exterior walls. Thanks for the vid, Mike

You wouldn't believe how many Mobil homes I moved. When I was a young man. I had to move one off a Earthquake fault line that opened up. After the Northridge Earthquake. That was a lot of fun. A lot of very nervous people. OSHA, FEMA, Fire Department and Southern California Edison. God bless

You, Captain ⚓ Kleman, letsdig 18, & elite earthworks are my favorites.

Another great video, some very skilled operators in that crew, except the drone operator......Only kidding......i really enjoyed it, and also thanks to the home owner and Jasons crew.....

Yeah walking under a suspended load is a very bad idea.

Great video! 💯 I was setting moduler homes in North Carolina 4 years ago.. super hard job carrying block..and clean up was a nightmare loading those axles..

WOW, not for the faint of heart and it is no wonder the homeowner needed a little "liquid" courage. Great video showing the skill involved in this. Thanks for posting

Wow! Not a single hard hat on the job sight, walking under suspended loads, hope his insurance carrier never sees this video. On the plus side, there were no mirrors broken that I could see...

Thank you to all for sharing this very interesting setup of your lovely new home ! Thank you DP for making this video, and much love to you all !

Wonder if OSHA ever scan you tube for safety violations such as this? Best modular home setup video I’ve seen. Personally I’m in the beginning process of ordering the LaBelle from Palm Harbor Homes in Plant City, Florida. It’s a triple wide and will be rated for 180 mph wind load. I can feel the guys excitement watching his new home being delivered.

My husband worked at a place that built modular homes from the ground up. There was 4 different plans to choose from.

atleast this one didn´t get stuck like the one LetsDig18 had to pull out of the mud

Great video! Never seen a modular home put together before. Seen alot of them being transported on the highway in my area. Thanks for sharing, very informative!!

I know of at least 100 of these homes in my area and at one time I owned one. I have never seen them being set up. Thanks Mike, homeowner and set up crew.

man! that is cheaper than stick built? definitely faster than stick. nice home. nice work Jason and crew.

Pretty cool and thanks to those guys for letting you video the process. I always heard that modular homes were built a little stronger to be able to withstand the long journey they have to make ? Thumbs up !!

I set a couple small modulars. It has to be perfect conditions as i only had a 25 ton grove. Good video.

I really love all types of houses but this modular really brought back memories. I always had an affection for modular homes. Just down right interesting how they are made and delivered. I was very young but was there when the home was brought in in 2 sections. Mike, you really gave me a super fine treat of a video this morning. Man, you are one super great guy. Thank you for ALL your videos. Loved the puttin the kids to work video....funny....but very educational for your children

Great video!👍my first time seein a modular put together.Thanks!

Back in the late 60's, boys down the street, their Dad, Glenn, ran a crane. Big GROVE. One of the biggest in Dallas at the time. Charges started as soon as he left the yard in South Dallas and Stopped when he came back in the gate on a 1 day job. Top Speed was 45-47 mph. He did a job for a neighbor, raised a poly Swimming Pool off the trailer, hoisted it across the owners 2 story house and sat it in the sand padded hole in the back yard. He held it up while all connections were made underneath and sides, then set it down nice and easy. Fire Department came over, run lines to a fire hydrant, to the truck and line to the pool. It had to be filled immediately incase there was a rain, the pool would pop up out of the hole. FD filled the pool in a couple of hours, before dark. Home owner knew capacity so City of Garland, Tx charged going rate for the water and a fee for the truck, lines and manpower. Faster than a garden hose.

I'd imagine there has to be multiple drywall repairs at least in the ceilings or in the corners of the walls

Bet there are a lot of 8-13 year olds that saw a future career in moving modular homes. Im sure there is a lot of angst associate with moving and maneuvering that expensive beast on roads and building sites like that. Obviously that little tractor device has some tight tolerances and a ton of power to move that stuff so carefully. Thanks for the video. That was nice -- also appreciated you were able to go have lunch in the middle -- most importantly!

That was pretty cool! Thanks to the owner and crew for allowing you to video. A house up in the air is thrilling for sure.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤love you boy Donald j Trump pray 🙏 for win

Terminology, Mobile Home cut in half length wide. It traveled to the site by being towed, IT'S MOBILE. LOLOL You were right the FIRST Time Mike.

Holy cow i would never walk under that 💯 holy!! Jeez!!

Nice wake up with dirt perfect. Really nice video. Those guys don't mess around. Thanks for letting us watch that

So reasoning leads to the first number in model number is axle count and last 3 is frame tonnage. Come across any other grove cranes and should be able to figure out the tonnage on the spot. Awesome video DP. Seen houses set in real life and this video does a great job of showing what it's like to see it. Keep up the great work Mike!! 👍

Can’t believe those guys were walking under that suspended load! I’m not a Safety Sally, but that’s just dumb.

yeas that was very nice of them and very interesting

I have to admit when I first read the video. I thought it said putting a trailer in for a deer stand. Lol God bless

Thanks to homeowner and set up crew for allowing us to sit back and watch them set this home up! Hope drone survived.

Thanks to both of you guys. This was very informative. 👍

Very cool process. Thanks for the ride and kudos to the remote control skills on that transported.

WOW. I really like this video. My late Uncle had a modular home with a built in basement. 3 bedrooms full baths, kitchen, dining room, and huge living room, huge basement in Glenarden, Maryland on a small street about 70 feet from the Capital Beltway. I remember sleeping over as a kid listening to the big trucks at night. I loved that. It was my most favorite house to sleepover. The home was built in the late 1960's. And all the houses in that subdivision were modular.

double thumbs up to Jason and his crew.thanks

Thanks for sharing. Awesome what they can do this day and age...and all the ways a house can be built....and set up! Beautiful footage and the area is amazing. Home owner is a handsome devil too!

They did not even knock any mirrors off!!! LOL Interesting video. I have seen them set before but never had the high drone view and that made it much easier to understand. Thanks to the owner and crew for allowing you to shoot this for our enjoyment.

Thanks for letting us see how this is done. Very cool. I could not believe the guys walking under it.

My Sister and Brother in Law purchased one ,I was away when it was set. Thanks for the video, gave me insight into procedure.

Wow Mikey that was great. Thanks for filming. Great to watch pros at work with machinery, even you buddy. There method is tried and true but makes me think about the first time they tried. Thanks again.

Wow... that was tight!!! I don’t think anything else could have been maneuverable enough to wiggle that little feller in there!

That’s for sharing, very interesting 😊😊

I have set many modulars, the ones I set use to be built in Decatur, IN, I think they are out of business now All American Homes. I run a 30 ton P&H, I set probably 75 -100 homes in Central and southern Ohio. Good times! I talked to Jimmy, at To the Top Crane, I know he thought I was full of crap when I told him the size of crane I set them with.

Great video!

This was very interesting to see the process. Thanks

Enjoyed your video and a beautiful home.

Awesome Sunday morning video👍😁

That was fun. Nice of all the people involved to let us gawk at them and the process while they worked. Obviously some of these workers carrying pipe have never watched a Final Destination movie. Ekkkk!

I lived in a modular home for a number of years. We put a full basement under it which made the install a little more interesting because of the additional plumbing etc. It was a great home. The crane work on the install increased the pucker factor pretty high I will say. Good video. Lots of people have no idea of how the operation is done.

One of the best built, most expensive modular homes built. They build them here in my home state Alabama I've actually been to that plant for those homes and the building process is just as neat to watch. It's done like an assembly plant for cars..

My Dad has been the General Contractor for a few modular home installs and the number 1 most important thing to be ready for install day is to have a square and level foundation because you know when the house shows up it is definitely going to be square. My Dad didn’t do the block work but did do the footings and framed in the attached garage on one that I remember. Getting water onsite for the block layer involved a small stream, pump and tarp in the back of his truck. Fun times. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Thanks for the great video. ❤

Pretty neat with the fold up roof :)

Back when I just graduated from high school I went to work for American homes in Morgantown West Virginia. This video brought back a lot of memories. I worked there about a 6 months to a year. During the summer you'd work from day light to dark

Fantastic video, thanks for sharing. To the home owners, & contractors, THANKS for allowing this process to be filmed! I'd often wondered how these things were put into their final resting places. Now we know for sure how they do it. Previously i just assumed how it was done. Now I know just how wrong I really was

Mike Appreciate all your projects but ones like this is great. If you can please continue with others types of projects.

Love all the information and Links 🙂

That’s freckle n amazing

Thanks for takin better part of ur day to show this. I learn something new all tha time. Those guys work their ass off i bet. Heck of a cylinder on crane. Bet that cost a dollar or 6

That was really cool of those guys and the home owner to let you film setting the house. I've seen those remote building toters before. They built a retirement home several years ago when I just started hauling trusses, the entire building was prefab from a factory except the roof. They built the roof on the foundation, then lifted the roof a section at a time and slid the prefab units underneath the roof with those little remote toters.

Appreciate those guys sharing their day with us.

What we learned today: #1. How a modular house is set in place. #2. NEVER work/walk under a suspended load. That’s on of 1st things you lean in Rigging 101. #3. If you fly your drone near trees sometime you crash and burn. #4. Thanks to all involved for the lessons learned today.

I was dispatched with my crane once to set the second story and roof on a modular house, I thought I was going to set prefabricated wall panels and trusses but when I got there and asked when the rest of the house was getting there I was informed it was there already assembled they just needed me to fold it out I was amazed as we made each lift the whole second story and shingled roof was done in about four hours

Thanks to all that allowed the filming on the job site. The neatest thing I observed was the "Spreader Bar Rig". Unit came with protection at the known strap locations. No I hope this will work rigging. This made for a safe and easy on the unit lift. Nice work guys!

It was very enjoyable, watching. I wondered how they did that..good video

VERY cool! Thanks for sharing, Brother!

Very interesting, very thorough by you Mike. Thanks for content.

Men thanks for spending Your time showing us how they do it 🤘🏻🇺🇸🦅

All the way from Alabama 🤔🤔❓ Interesting. Isn't there module builder's in Illinois 🤔❓❓ There used to be A sh*tload here in Michigan around A little town called Marlette, Mi. Be safe 😀👍🙏✝️

Thanks for the video.

Mr. Dirt Perfect, it’s always nice to see a job from start to finish, from the dirt work to the building installation, congratulations to all the craftsman for job well done 👍. Glad you captured it all. Thx for the vid

really like to watch cranes and a crew work. beee fortunate to work my career around heavy construction. seen many heavy lifts with all types of cranes, from cherry pickers, ringers and 2 manitow 21000's with maxer working side by side. they had 300 feet of boom with 330 feet of luffer.

Awesome video thanks

Thank you to you, the home owner and the crew for letting us see how it’s done. Nice work and thanks for the ride along.👍

About 15 years ago. A crane dropped a modular home in the cellar hole. Homeowners were watching. It made the front cover of town report that year. The damaged section was hauled off in dumpster and the company made a new section at factory and sent it. The crane over extended to clear chimney from previous house and out riggers sunk in the lawn. Second time they removed the chimney. and section went on fine.

This is the second video I have seen you make of another job site. I really like these. That was really interesting. Thanks for going out of your way to bring us such great content. You are appreciated.

Always wondered how they got to install a modular home Good time thanks

Jesus love you boys and girl and moms dads make me good loghome Valley God kids save at❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤American Amen

Best thing about Modular Homes is less weather interference. Depending on manufacturer I have seen Exterior walls as thick as 2x10 and up to 3 units wide or 48 and 120 long. It was 2 units long 3 16 ft section wide and 3 stories tall. I was stick framing a massive 4 car Garage that was 16 ft interior walls 46 wide by 30 deep. It had one 14 ft by 12 door and the others were 10 x 8. According to the electricians it was being wired for a 2 post lift, a 230v air compressor, and Central heat and air. But due to a privacy concerns and no disclosure contract that is where I have to leave it.

That was pretty cool

Lol lol I wound have been drunk by now if that was my house. That was awesome. Thanks for showing this video. Congrats to the owner and that crew.

As always great video! Thanks for sharing!

Good vid. What a view

That was so Cool!!!

I took a day off a few years ago to watch the neighbors 4 section modular home being installed. On the way up the interstate I realized I was passing their house. I backed off and took a picture of each section. I got to watch the crane being set up and all 4 section flown in place. Each section went over the other neighbors house. They had all 4 sections in place and the crane left that day. I took still photos all-day and gave them a CD of there house going up.

I've probably seen 25 or so modular homes assembled and it still fascinates me to watch. Those guys did great.

Beautiful place people American first 🇺🇸 American school

cant believe the crew walking under a pick

pretty cool. thanks to you, setup crew, and home owner for allowing this. watched neighbors house 4 section modular being craned in 2 years ago. these crews do a good job.

Good morning mike. Modular homes are nice. Built in climate controlled buildings. Employees happy not working in freezing weather, in rain, tromping thru the mud. Etc. They did a great job. Except, now I'm not a safety Sally by any means. But there is no excuse for walking under a load like that. None what so ever. They are called accidents, because you don't plan them. But you can plan for no one getting hurt or killed. No second chances if a strap broke or a bolt sheared.

That was awesome

Those guys walking UNDER the home while lifting by the crane will cause a good crane operator to have a come apart!! I know this because I used to be a IUOE Crane operator myself for 16 years.

My former boss bought one and when they went to set in on the foundation they dropped one half of the house not good. One of the straps broke.
