Mobile Home Leveling: Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it so important to keep a mobile home level? Mobile home leveling is crucial for several reasons. An unlevel home can compromise the structural integrity of the building, leading to cracks, warping, and even potential collapse due to stress on the frame, walls, and roof. It also poses safety hazards, such as tripping risks from uneven floors and security issues from doors and windows that don't close properly.
What are some common signs that indicate my mobile home might need leveling? Several indicators suggest that your mobile home may be unlevel. The most noticeable sign is uneven floors, where you may feel a slope or furniture may wobble. Doors and windows that stick or don't close correctly are another common sign, along with cracks in the walls or ceilings, especially around door frames and corners.
What are some common mistakes to avoid when leveling a mobile home? When undertaking DIY leveling, avoid making these critical mistakes: neglecting safety gear, focusing on just one pier at a time, not checking for underlying foundation issues if the home is severely unlevel, using the wrong materials, and not regularly checking the level after the leveling process is complete.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
