On the other hand, in 2010, ice-out occurred April 5, and temperatures by the end of April were 50 degrees. My point is that the fish behavior around opening day depends not just on ice-out dates, but also on weather after ice-out.
You have to make decisions about the type of manufactured home foundation you want installed. A Low Profile type is popular now, but may be much more expensive. Generally, an alternative FHA approved pier foundation costs less. The Contractor will give you a bid on all the costs involved for either type foundation.
A proper foundation does more than just hold a house above ground. It also keeps out moisture, insulates against the cold, and resists movement of the earth around it. Oh, and one more thing: It should last forever. No wonder builders like This Old House general contractor Tom Silva take foundations seriously. Without a good one, he says, you're sunk.. For Tom, good means steel-reinforced foundation walls and footings made of poured concrete.
