I just did this! I used spray on wallpaper remover (non-toxic) from Lowe's. It was still a bit of work, but not bad. You have to let the stuff stay on long enough to soften the glue, but not begin to dry up and re-adhere. Timing is everything!

OK, I put a photo up of it in my gallery, if anyone would be so kind as to take a look.

I see the "IMG" button at the top, but when I press it, I only get the word (IMG) put at the bottom of my post.

Is it a mac thing or is there something I'm missing?

Yanita, I raced in to try it, but to no avail. If I read that right, you're talking about the top half of the window (bottom half comes out easily) from the inside of the trailer. I sandwich the glass with my palms and it releases somehow from the frame? It just has no movement, and the interior fra...

I thought I saw a post on this in the archives, but now I can't find it. I swear* my windows don't come apart to get washed. I asked the guy who is going to put on my skirting, and he said to push up, which sounded* right based on my other experiences with double hungs, but the top part of the windo...

Harry, that looks great! You got me all motivated!

I'm about to start painting the exterior. I have that hard-board stuff... the bad kind. I'm going to caulk up where it's soft around nails. I've painted interiors before, but I did a quick google check to see if anything was different. I found this: "Apply primer over all raw surfaces. Note tha...

The garden tub was here before I bought the place, I've just been too afraid to try it because the surround looked gross. It was just cosmetic, though, and I really* wanted a bath.

I like the garden tub a lot...I wonder why people are always taking them out?

I tried out the garden tub last night, and was wondering how much water one holds? I have a 30 gallon water heater, but it only filled it halfway up...which was OK, I guess. It occurred to me that if water weighs 10 lbs per gallon, if you filled the whole tub up, it would be a lot* of weight.... may...

Thanks, everyone. I got the number for an HVAC guy to come out and look everything over and fix my duct work and check my AC and furnace.

May as well start out on the right foot.

My first DIY attempt and I've decided it's too complex for me. I'm hopeless. I had been given one estimate of $2000 for work and labor to repair skirting, and 3/4 of it was labor (you guys said vinyl was pretty easy, too) so I thought I would try it. But I just know there will be something "spe...

Thank you. At least I know it's an option. My problem is that I'm indecisive about how in-depth to go with this place in the time frames I'll be here. Everything seems to take so long in the country... getting parts, getting people to come out, etc. I'm here for about another month. Once I get the s...

Ummmm.... see? Everything* gets complicated. I have no idea what the return or supply means. I don't want to take the cover off again because it was hard to get back in. I just want to know if I put the furnace filters in going the right direction. At home, there was a little arrow on the furnace th...

Can I keep the railings that are already installed? the skirting is secure, it's just jull of holes....

What is the airflow direction on the standard wall-mount coleman?
