Containerized Housing Unit

I would like to write a new Article 548 Containerized Housing Units for the NEC and will appreciate any suggestions or experiences that you may have had.

Some of them include a bathroom and are called “WET CHUS” and others are “DRY CHUS” with no bathroom.

Works for me, I thought this was for residential, not the war theater…:stuck_out_tongue:

Frank: Here is another example. They are also available for commercial use.

Wow, thanks Joe.

Who makes these things?

I know that these guys build Off Shore Oil accommodation, and specialty build to suit.

[FONT=Arial]It is my understanding that if Joe Tedesco does not get into any FIGHTS and keeps his posts strictly TECHNICAL that he will be allowed to post on this message board![/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]In order to get him kicked off again… I am sure that some people holding old grudges will TAUNT Mr. Tedesco and try to SUCKER him into a fight. [/FONT]

I hope that Mr. Tedesco will see right through that trap.

  • [FONT=Arial]I guess that we will all wait and see if they lower themselves to that point![/FONT]
    [FONT=Arial]The electrical section is a good place to learn. [/FONT]

  • [FONT=Arial]According to our Founder…. “Conflicting Personalities” and personal vendettas should not keep well known and well recognized Bona Fide Experts from posting. [/FONT]

Frank:

Roger that!

Question: Does anyone know if AFCI’s are available for 240V, 3phase systems?

This is not in his character. It’s simply a matter of time - mark my words.

[FONT=Arial]I hope that those with their old grudges and personal vendettas will NOT come forth with their taunts and try to bait him.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]I think that “NACHI” is better than that! [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]This is on the “Public Section” and ALL of your responses are “Googled” for all time! [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]YOUR clients “Google” YOUR name when they look for a good honest and decent human being / Home Inspector to come into their house! [/FONT]

  • [FONT=Arial]Your “Past History” and YOUR responses will help them make up their minds as to whether or not they want you in their home![/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]I ask that you and ALL who read this remain professional and stick to the TECHNICAL aspects of this thread. The Real Estate and the Home Inspector world is watching…. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]Let’s show a little class shall we? [/FONT]

You are correct, Jeff. Tedesco, in the past, has offered very little information useful to home inspectors…and an over abundance of abuse toward other posters who do.

Frank - you cannot be objective in this matter and you do not represent a majority of the active message-board users.

“NACHI” is better than that, and “NACHI” has rendered their opinion on this person. The majority of the active users do not want Joe to be posting on their message board. Why can’t you just accept that?

If you actually want to “represent” NACHI, stop trying to force-feed us your personal agenda.

Question: Are there any inspectors who have inspected these types of structures?

How would you classify them?

Some call them a manufactured home or mobile home.

I believe that they are to be built and inspected per NFPA 501 and the HUD Standards which are identified in the FPN to 550.1 in the NEC.
