Not yet man. If it was up to the ol lady, we would have moved in the same day they moved it out here though haha.
All thats left to move over there is the desktop computer, one couch and chair, the tv, and our bed, she has everything else there allready!
We still have to wait for the guys to come and repair all the cracks and stuff that happened during the move, so we wont be putting our flooring in till a little later now.
We should be living in there this wednesday/thursday though.

No it actually didnt. Theres like maybe 5 or 6 cracks in the paint where they have ot fix, then they have to readjust a bunch of the doors and whatnot. I forget all what else, but the guy that came to inspect it, said ours is the least amount of cracking and whatnot in any house he has ever seen get moved. I dont know how true that is, but im glad it wont take them long to fix that stuff up!

yea but all that stuff should straighten out when they relevel the house. but then again
you could do more damage that way. of course i have never moved a house but i have seen them moved before.

When I was younger I worked as a building mover for a few summers. A house like this doesnt just straighten itself out. What has happened for the doors being a little out of alignment, is either the basement is a wee bit off, ar the house was a wee bit off while they were building it, either or, and now they arent perfect to each other.
Not a big deal though, its easy for them to get in there and readjust stuff, and fix a few cracks on the walls.

its a huge problem with rtm's is shifting during the building process. they level the flood during framing and never usually touch it again until it sits on site. what happens is that as more weight is added to the home as its being built, it'll settle into softer ground and become un-level. if the finishers do their job right, levelling each door, cabinets and such when the house is sitting out of level, then its wacked out when it sits on a level foundation.
i've had some ideas for builders to make an RTM solid and with minimal cracking, with some initial expense, but way less warranty work down the road. if they were to spend some money and sink piles every 6-8' in the yard, then use some good steel beams for the base, the homes wouldn't every shift off level once the floor is levelled... sad part is, none of the builders want to spend the coin to have that system...

if a house is built properly on the proper footings/foundation, there will be little to no settling. unfortunately, most houses are slapped together these days and you get poor looking place in 10 years that will need a fair amount of maintenance.
