This post isn’t
about manufactured
homes in parks, this post is about homes that have moved because the
Earth
underneath them has moved.
During the
winter months, I have to admit, Oregon is known for getting a
lot of rain and for the most part our land can handle it. But, every
once in
awhile, there is a piece of land that can’t handle all the rain and
that is
when we get the landslides you see on the news.
But, what about the houses in the
landslides path or in some cases the hill where the house is built
comes
crashing down with the house and all? Was there something a
builder could
have done to prevent this? Was there something you could have done to
prevent
this? To be honest, probably not, some homes have been in the same spot
for 100
years without a problem, then one year, it is just too much and the
land
underneath goes bye-bye.
The best thing to do if you live below a
large hill or live at the top of a ridge is to make sure your insurance
is up
to date and covers landslides. While you are at it, you may
want to check
to see if your policy covers earthquakes, because sooner or later,
according to
scientists, the big one will hit.
