Stick Built home Vs. Manufactured or Mobile Homes
The use of movable or mobile homes dates as far back as the late 19th century in the United States, when teams of horses transported homes on wheels to beach front properties along the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Mobile homes came into vogue at the end of WWII, as veterans returned home and affordable housing was in short supply. They were often marketed as a practical alternative to renting an apartment. During the baby boom American families trying to find work wherever available, used mobile homes so they could move quickly with job changes.
Septic Systems
All modern homes built in the United States have some system for disposing of effluent (AKA “Poop”) from the house. In most suburban areas, effluent is directed from the house to a piping system that leads to a city sewer. In more rural areas, homes have an Onsite Sewage System (OSS). That is, individual systems that service one or a few homes tied into it.
