Re: ceiling question
Yes, he did call them recessed lights. That ceiling light medallion looks interesting and I will check it out. Thanks.

Re: ceiling question
I can't post pictures, sorry. The electrician that put the lights in said we'll need to drop the ceiling a bit for those lights because they are so deep, which wouldn't be an issue if we use drop ceiling, and maybe that is the best option for us.

Re: ceiling question
Not sure what size the rafters are but they look very light. It's an old trailer, say from the '70s maybe. We haven't quite decided what we'll use for ceiling, either.

ceiling question
We tore all of the old ceiling out of our mobile home, and put other lights in, and the ceiling will need to be dropped a bit to match with the new lights. Maybe we'll use drop ceiling, but maybe not. We could just nail 2 by 4s on the joists or rafters of the roof before putting the ceiling on, coul...

Re: Gravel under trailer?
Hi, J.D., yes, no gravel is going into the crawl space. Of slope and water, it is now going around the back of the building. Thanks, and for the tip about cardboard.

Re: Gravel under trailer?
We dug a trench the length of the upper side, leading to the culvert under the driveway. Thanks.

Gravel under trailer?
We bought some land and had a mobile home moved on. The land is on the mountain side, with lots of water running off the mountain over the property, plus several springs on the property so its very wet. The folks that installed the mobile home lay gravel and put a heavy plastic under the trailer and...

We live near a small town with just one bank but there is a credit union inthe larger town 11 miles away. I'll have to check into that.

Weak spots in floor?
Our mobile home has very weak spots in the floor, right inside the door and under some windows. Do we cut out the weak particle board spots and replace it with plywood; tear out all the particle board and start over; or do we put the plywood over top the whole floor, weak spots and all? We want to f...

Re: Needing right of way for utilities
72mobile, did you get paid for the right of way? If so, how much? Did you have to sign anything? I don't have a clue about these things.

Re: Needing right of way for utilities
We need a right of way to put in an electric pole and run the wires overhead. Does this make sense? I had no idea that Penelec wouldn't automatically have the right of way along a public township road, but the engineer said that since there are trees in the waw, we must get a right of way in order f...

Needing right of way for utilities
The engineer from Penelec said that we are responsible for getting a right of way for utilities for the mobile home we are installing, and for cutting back any trees to make room. How do people normally aquire a right of way? Should we offer our new neigbors money in exchange for the right of way? I...
