Abstract: A method and apparatus for anchoring a mobile home utilizes an extender strap. The extender strap connects between a conventional anchor buried in the ground and an overhead tie that has ends that have been cut off too short. The extender strap secures to an extender plate by a loop that passes through a slot in the extender plate. The loop is crimped. The shortened end of the overhead tie loops through another slot in the extender plate. This end is also crimped. Reinforcing plates will be bent and located in the loops prior to crimping. The lower end of the extender strap connects to an anchor in a conventional manner.
