These QOD's are interesting... fun... however... is there someplace that the correct answer is identified for those (including me) who would like to verify their knowledge, thus expanding our knowledge reliably?
Thanks greatly, Jon |

NWJon,
Typically the answer will be posted once the dialoge has ceased or when the dialoge wanders around. However, not all of them are answered each and every time. After all, there is not a full time person doing them. Well Aimee was, but even then it wasn't her full time job with NACHI. So for the time being, we are stuck with Gerry and his mobile/manufactured home fetish. One other thought, you can always check back and see the results as they will usually be skewed in favor of the correct answer. That doesn't seem to be the case with Gerry's questions, as some of the answers are really close. Just goes to show how much is yet to be learned. |

I like the questions on MH's Gerry. It's a subject that is not well taught in most HI schools and I bet alot of people (including myself ) are learning from them.

Hi to all,
The correct answer to this question is: Siesmic The big give away in the picture is the fact that the piers are bolted to the chassis rails and also bolted to the footings. The biggest problems with manufactured housing in siesmic areas is that the strucutre tends to get "shaken" of its piers and suffers substantial damage as a result.
