Funny thing, I'm from Elkhart, IN. which at one time was the RV capitol of the world (RVs, travel trailors, boats, mobile homes), and I saw how mobile homes used to be made, and would never have bought one. I deal with a lady from Wisconson whom told me she's going to purchase a modular home (don't remember manufacturer), but it's built with 6" studs in the wall. NO WAY, i figure. That thing'll never get pulled down the road with that kind of weight without coming unglued on the interstate. Stupid me, she did, and it didn't. My home (built in 92, but not by me) has six inch walls. If you can afford to go out the extra thickness, do it. Something else, consider steel studs. They may seem flimsy, but when loaded are pretty stiff. I helped a guy put up a wall in his Chicago restaurant. The City of Chicago Inspectors told us 5/8" thick, 4 sheets thick (on each side of the studs) for fire. 12'x4'x5/8" drywall 8 sheets thick on a 24' high x 96' long wall. If ever make it to Chicago to see the Black Hawks play stick, stop by Cheli's restaraunt up the street from the Stadium - that's a wall. When that building gets torn down one day, I pity the guy on the dozer, he's gonna get squashed bigtime.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
