Claim 0:
1. An anchor pier for supporting a manufactured building, comprising:
a shaft having a plate attached at a first end of the shaft and a driving tip at an opposing end with at least one helical flight positioned proximate the driving tip, for driving through a surface of ground beneath a manufactured building to position the plate proximate the surface, for interaction of the shaft and the helical flight with the ground to communicate vertical loading between the building and the ground;
the plate comprises a mating member attached to a bottom surface of the plate and extending therefrom, the mating member defining an opening therein for receiving a fastener;
a connector member attached at a first end of the shaft for receiving the mating member of the plate, the connector member defining an opening therethrough;
a fastener for extending through aligned openings of the connecting member and the mating member for rigidly connecting the connector member to the mating member;
a sleeve attached to a lower surface of the connector member for receiving the shaft therethrough, the sleeve providing lateral support to the anchor pier driven in to the ground;
a plurality of blocks stacked on the plate and extending upwardly therefrom; and
at least one spacer positioned on an upper surface of the stack of the plurality of blocks for wedging contacting a bottom surface of an elongated support beam of a manufactured building,
whereby the shaft and the helical flight driven into the ground below the manufactured building transfers vertical compression loading from the manufactured building through the stack of blocks in supporting relation by the spacer being wedgingly secured between the stack of blocks and the support beam.
