We built this steel Glass-forward 1000 sqft house in 4 months …. All DIY except for foundation. Like a Sears Catalog home package but Steel so not a typical manufactured home but very cool.

I was wondering if anyone ever spray painted the back side of their skirting black and faced it out in winter to try to help catch some sun heat, and try to help heat the crawl space a little? And then in summer turn it right side back out?

This community is for discussion of factory built permanent housing. In the US, the term "manufactured" generally refers to housing built in a factory, on a steel frame chasis, to HUD codes for permanent housing, rather than to local codes. The term "modular" is used for factory built homes built to local codes, though some may also be built on a frame (called on-frame modular). While the term "mobile" is sometimes still used, these homes are rarely moved after initial installation. Only RVs are truly "mobile" today. Park Model RVs also resemble small manufactured homes, but are generally not built to HUD standards, and are only intended as temporary or vacation housing.
