    I worked for a folding house company in Fullerton CA called Transa Structures and applied the principle to mobile homes that were manufactured by Great Lakes and Mayflower Homes in California. I was 17 and had run away from my NM home at 16. Then, weeks after going to work for Mayflower I quit and invented the first double-wide mobile home and built a prototype in Long Beach CA. Everybody poo-pood the idea but I’d made my mark. Today I build with metal framing and integral high-tech concrete. It’s cheap, fast and stronger than anything else.
