A family bought a modular home only to find out that the insulation was really bad. In winter, it was freezing cold inside despite the heating system working full - blast. And in summer, it was unbearably hot. They had to invest a large amount of money to upgrade the insulation, which was not expected when they bought the home.
One horror story involved a modular home with a septic system that was not installed correctly. Sewage started to back up into the home, causing a terrible smell and a major health hazard. The homeowners had to deal with the disgusting mess and the costly process of getting the septic system reinstalled correctly.
One horror story could be about a modular home with faulty wiring. The new owners moved in and constantly faced electrical problems like short - circuits and flickering lights. It was a nightmare as they feared a potential fire hazard all the time.
Sure. There was a home showing where the homeowner's pet snake got loose and slithered across the living room floor just as the potential buyers walked in. The buyers were horrified and left right away. Another time, the house had a leaky roof that the homeowners didn't disclose. During the showing, it started to rain and water started dripping from the ceiling in one of the bedrooms. The buyers were not happy at all.
In another instance, a home caregiver was found to be drunk on the job. They slurred their words and could barely perform any of their tasks. This put the patient at great risk as they needed proper care and attention. The family had to immediately fire the caregiver and find a replacement, which was a difficult and time - consuming process.
Sure. There was a funeral home where the lights in the chapel kept flickering during a memorial service. It created a really eerie atmosphere. Later, they found out that there was a problem with the electrical wiring in that part of the building.
Yes, you can. With the right planning and construction team, it's totally feasible.
Sure. There are cases where the solar panels started to deteriorate much faster than expected. Maybe it was due to low - quality materials used in the manufacturing. For instance, some panels developed cracks within a few years, which significantly reduced their energy - generating capacity. This was a big disappointment for the homeowners who had invested a lot in the solar panel system.
In another story, a home health nurse was assigned to a patient who had a lot of pets. But these pets were not well - taken care of and had fleas. The nurse ended up getting bitten by fleas during her visits, which was not only uncomfortable but also a risk for potential diseases. She had to constantly deal with this problem while trying to focus on the patient's care.
Yes, you can. But it depends on various factors like the design and structural integrity of the original modular home.
In many home selling horror stories, there are problems with the home itself that the seller was not fully aware of. This could be things like mold in the walls or electrical problems. When these are discovered during the inspection, it can be a nightmare. The buyers may demand a huge price reduction or just walk away. And if the seller tries to fix it, it can be costly and time - consuming, delaying the sale process even further.
Yes, you can. Florida has no specific laws preventing having a two-story modular home. However, there might be local zoning and building code requirements to meet.
