Two down, two to go

The first two modules are set, and fit on the foundation within about 1/4", maybe 1/2" in a couple spots, well within tolerance once the sheathing and clapboards are applied.

Project was slowed today, there's some shipping damage to the top of the southern module (left-hand in this picture), which must be repaired early tomorrow morning before the third module can be set on top of it. We've had the expected difficulties getting the modules into our driveway, but the module transport has been much smoother today, the crane operation (by Pick Construction) has been seamless, and the setting crew (SetWright, engaged by the house manufacturer but actually an independent out of Maine) has been great.

We'll get the other two set on Thursday, and hope to get the roof erected before the (light) snow that's forecast.
