Nick, up here we have some PWF structures that essentially are like the concrete slab strips found under MHs, then an inverted truss system (picture an upside-down attic) supporting the house above, with a perimeter wood wall.
Any comments to include on this truss system?
Thanks!
Russ

Nick, sorry I don't have more than that at this time.
I inspected one about 4 years ago, & haven't the foggiest idea which file it is to access pics!
I'll see if I can uncover some local info.
