It's been a while, so I thought an update was in order. slow progress has been made. We got some siding up. Vinyl siding from Ziggy's white piping and dark brown trim http://i862.photobucket.com/albums/ab190/VintageSteel/Mobile%20Uploads/d3029bee-eb26-4151-9246-95cbaf98e6c7_zpsirikv3hm.jpg started b...

I have a build thread on this site that has been locked. I assume due to inactivity. I would very much like the ability to update it. Any chance of that? http://i862.photobucket.com/albums/ab190/VintageSteel/Our%20House/IMG_20120709_192542-1.jpg http://i862.photobucket.com/albums/ab190/VintageSteel/...

I don't have much time when the sun shines. When I got the time, I ain't got the money, when I got the money, I ain't got the time. Anyway, here's a quick update; Built a porch, added some shirting, boxxed in the eves, spread some gravel on the drive and planted some grass: http://i862.photobucket.c...

Slow and steady. Removed some ceiling and insulation. Started framin interior walls. This separates the master bath from the walk-in closet. The closet is on the left. You have to go through the bathroom to get to the closet. The closet measures 4 1/2' x 11' http://i862.photobucket.com/albums/ab190/...

I've been waiting to see photos . . . What are you using to side over the osb? I've been busy at my shop. Took a few days off to make some money. ...Siding? I live in North Idaho, that IS siding! Seriously, I'll worry about that in the spring. I got the roof put up. It started raining as I was putt...

I've been pretty busy, haven't had a chance to update. We finished sheeting the floor, there are NO holes or rotten spots anywhere in the floor now! http://i862.photobucket.com/albums/ab190/VintageSteel/Our%20House/IMG_20121105_171558.jpg?t=1352354384 Started working on the roof: (Cindy does NOT lik...

I've been busy. A little curb appeal. Front side face lift; http://i862.photobucket.com/albums/ab190/VintageSteel/Our%20House/IMG_20121023_152545.jpg?t=1351196650 Those tongues had to go! http://i862.photobucket.com/albums/ab190/VintageSteel/Our%20House/IMG_20121023_161004.jpg?t=1351196772 This is, ...

I'm just replacing the walls that have rotten floor under them and reframing for betterwindows and doors. I'm not concerned about the footing, the concrete pads, under the house, don't seem to have moved much over the last 36 years.

looking good! Cant wait to see the finished product. curious, what are you using to determine level? Water level, construction level etc... 4' framing level. Close enough for me. ...And the rabbit hole gets deeper. With the front bedroom sheeted it was time to tear into the livingroom: http://i862....

West Side! ...of the house. http://i862.photobucket.com/albums/ab190/VintageSteel/Our%20House/IMG_20121014_164308.jpg?t=1350410436 South West corner of the house needed to be lifted about 1.5". So, I ripped off the skirting and stuck the Hi-Lift Jack under the frame. Once it was level, we could...

Okay so I just spent a pile of money for enough steel roofing to cover my Double wide. I was going to do a pole building, but time constraints, weather turning cold and (of course) cost, have limited me to a roof over. I have seen rigid foam board nailed between strips of lath and the roof screwed t...

I'm not building a new house, I have to work with what is existing. 5/8 is what is there.

If I read that right, you plan to go with two layers of 1/2" plywood?? It will work but it might just be easier to go with 5/8" or 3/4" in a single layer. Good guide to go by is to use the same thickness as what was taken out. The original particle board is 5/8", I am replacing ...

I am cutting out every square inch of rotted or swollen sawdust board and replacing it with 5/8" plywood. I plan on sheeting over that with another layer of plywood and staggering all the joints. I will screw and glue the whole works together. Another layer of 5/8" would probably be ideal ...

Update: We got the worst corner done and started moving tward the back of the house: http://i862.photobucket.com/albums/ab190/VintageSteel/Our%20House/IMG_20121004_181748.jpg?t=1349945618 Had to remove a 13' 8" section of exterior Kitchen/ dining wall due to rot. I wasn't sure the roof would st...
