Here is a picture that is similar to my fusebox: http://jimspearsfusebox.tripod.com/help/oldfusebox.jpg My problem is with the fuse holder with the handle above the screw in fuses. In each there are two Buss non-50 250 volts or less cartridge fuses about the size of a lipstick holder. This is on the...

I know and understand the concept on not letting the water drip in cold weather. I stayed up until 2 a.m. on Thursday when the temp was -15 and my water was fine with no hint of freezing. At 8 a.m. the temp was -22 and the water was frozen in the bathroom and kitchen sinks, but freed up within an ho...

I made sure that all of my exposed water pipes that already had -50 heat tape and wrapped with insulation was also insulated with a bat of rolled insulation that covered the entry also. Other than a small area under my bathroom floor all of my pipes run along an inside wall. I opened up under the co...

Greg My MH is over 40 years old and is only worth $3000 if even that, so I am going to leave well enough alone and not spend a lot of money and open up a...

If it absolutely came to it I could make a tent around the pit area which is the only area where any water pipes are exposed (about the size of a pup tent) and put the space heater in there to keep the temperature above freezing. What is disappointing is that the heat tape is rated at -50 and I meti...
