RE: Gas Leak Worries
It sounds to me like everything is OK, remember that any time you smell gas, get out and call 911. They would much rather go to a call and find a very minor problem than a fully involved fire with fatalities. Greg

RE: Park Living PRO's & CON's
As you can see the park life can go to extremes- great to I WANT OUT!!! The best advice I can give is drive through the parks in your area look around and talk to people. Remember that you can't go on one person's opinion so talk to as many as you can. A lot will depend on what YOU want and expect. ...

RE: Window Caulk
Bruce, I would hit the auto supply store and use windshield adhesive. It comes in black only as far asI know. Use gloves also, it is about impossible to get off of your hands. Greg

RE: Hot Water Heater/Water Breaker
Dennisd, water heaters are USUALLY 220volt. a 220v breaker has 2 breakers connected at the handles. You should have the heater on it's own breaker and the pump on it's own. It may take some investigating to figure out how they wired it. Greg

RE: Questions about buying a repo
Challa, You know the drill, If there is a HOLE in the middle of the floor, PLAN on doing replacement of most of the floors. If it turns out that some of the floors are OK you are ahead of the game. You may want a friend to look at it also, it is easy to minimize the work needed when you are looking ...

RE: first mobile home, help!
Hi & welcome!! Yanita is right, cracks are generally caused by the home moving, below frost line footers may help, but I can assure you that without moving the home it would be a lot of work. Utilities in a park - the parks liability usually ends a ground level, so the septic is your responsibly...

RE: those with sump pumps?
Usually at the bottom there is an impeller where the water gets sucked into, there should be a cover that comes off with either screws or possibly a snap on. Or you may be able to shake it and see if anything comes out. Greg

RE: Bear With Me Guys!
Don't worry Maureen, I think Mark is about the only one that has mastered it. I'm in the same boat as you as far as time. If all else fails just keep clicking, you will either get it done or crash the site!!! Just look at my signiture! Greg

RE: those with sump pumps?
It sounds to me like it may have sucked up a small rock or something. You may have to take the pump apart and check it. Greg

RE: Plumbing, water flow rate
John, It is a case of just plain spending time looking. Like Robert said you will have to just keep checking and going farther towards the water heater untill you find the restriction. Greg

RE: Considering buying a fixer upper
Challa, We bought the same type of home for our daughter, Plan on a total rehab. Floors, walls& ceilings plus other things that you will find. we ended up around $5000 with us doing all the work over a 6 month period. If you have $1500 into it now you really have few options. If you talk to the ...

New type of sheetrock
I was just looking through the Lowes flier in the paper and found "DensArmor plus" interior wallboard by Georgia Pacific. It is on the order of sheetrok but it uses fiberglass in both the face (instead of paper) and it is added to the core with the gypsum. Claims to be better fire rated an...
