Well I got the house resided. I am attaching a couple of pics of what we did. We pulled of the old siding which was in terrible shape. I didn't want to spend too much on this project so i went with smartside panels which are under $25 a piece. Wrapped it in housewrap and installed the panels which w...

Thank you all for your recommendations thus far. Cost isn't an issue, within reason. Just don't want to spend $10k on a trailer that probably isn't worth that. Like I said it is in town on its own lot so there are no monthly costs other than utilities. Just looking to have it done the right way and ...

I plan to use all new material purchased at a place like Lowe's or Home Depot. I got a quote to put on they vinyl siding and it is $2300 with me furnishing all the material.

I already took off the sheetrock and the paneling on the inside as well as a bunch of the insulation where it was wet. The 2 X 4s around the wind...

I am a new member and this looked like a very informative forum so I thought I would try here. I recently inherited a used mobile home on a city lot. It has been neglected for a couple of years and the windows leaked. So the siding around some of the windows pretty much rotted away say within about ...
