In the fall of 1975, I moved 25 miles north of Whistler B.C., to live and teach on a First Nations reservation. There was a shortage of homes, so teachers were moved into mobile homes that the band had bought from a logging company. Two stairs led up to the door at the side of the trailer. If you entered, you'd see a kitchen to the right, a small living room in front of you, and a bathroom and bedroom to the left. It was cosy, but it slanted quite steeply towards the bedroom. I asked the band council to level it and went south to Vancouver for the weekend. When I came back on Monday, it was level, but I couldn't open the doors to get in. They had to come back and reslant it.
Lils indian name: Stands With Complaint Just kidding, I would have wanted a level playing field too. But wanting to get in to your home through the door? Now that's just being picky!
Did you ever get an explanation as to why the doors wouldn't open when level?
No explanation. The mobile home did look similar to the one in the picture. I assume they simply added more bricks underneath the sagging end. This would have raised the bottom of the door frame maybe, without alligning the rest of the door. Maybe there's an engineer out there in the hubskiverse that can confirm or deny this supposition. Doesn't JakobVirgil live in a mobile home? Maybe he can offer some wisdom.
most likely they over corrected when they leveled it.
