That did it!
Thanks for your help.

Hey, all! I dig what you're doing.

Last year (2023) I was in exactly the same situation as Nancy here:

I've now given out gift codes for the first 5 items.  We're planning to do 3-5 things every few days.  That way you get managable, bite-size chunks of digestible homesteading resources, and we don't simply inundate your inbox.

From your screen shot , it looks like you have the first 5 - so be patient and the rest should turn up.

Then I got patient. Then I forgot. Now I'm circling back around and can't find the Pebble plans. I did pay the $35 hoping for these plans among other things. How do I access them now?

Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who has weighed in!
I completely agree about keeping conversations with local officials cordial and on trying to make the final product look good and be well insulated.
I'm still not sure how to engineer the process.
Option 1: Jack up the tiny house high enough to dig & pour footings & build foundation, then lower the structure into place.
Option 2: Move the structure out of the way on its existing wheels, build foundation, then somehow get it back in place.
In both cases, I'd need some clever engineering to connect the steel trailer frame to the foundation as well.

Hey, all! I have a 24 x 8 tiny house on a trailer. The city says I have to put it on a foundation or move it. I'd rather put it on a foundation, and I can probably afford to build the foundation. I'd like to just set the entire existing structure (steel frame trailer) on top of a foundation and bolt it in place.

Here's the question: how? Short of hiring a large crane (prohibitive), how do I engineer the process of getting an existing structure in place on a foundation?

My best guess so far has been this:
1. Pour footings up to grade.
2. Pull the trailer in over the footings and jack it up with several inches of extra clearance.
3. Build up with concrete blocks everywhere except where the jacks are.
4. Lower the trailer onto the new block wall foundation and remove the jacks.
5. Fill in the jack gaps with blocks / poured concrete.

I don't know if that would meet code, and I don't know if there's another approach I should consider. Your advice would be appreciated.
