New flooring in bathroom - questions
Gonna put down sheet vinyl in a m.h. master bath. Plan is to install 1/4" plywood over the Cres-Tek mushboard. Apparently marine ply isn't available in 1/4". The flooring installer said they use plain old AC grade plywood, even in bathrooms. I'd like to do more as far as waterproofing. Any...

Does ANYONE stand by their flooring in a mobile?
We visited several local flooring outlets, looking for something that'll go directly over the single-layer mushboard in our 16 y.o. double-wide. This is in a part of the country with a fair amount of mobile homes. Not one salesperson could answer our questions about what works in a mobile. It seemed...

Loose lay vinyl in a double-wide?
I've been looking at KarnDean's Loose Lay vinyl. KarnDean's own instructions say: "All Chipboard / MDF / Weyrock Overlay with a 6mm flooring grade plywood fixed at maximum 150mm centers. Plywood joints can be smoothed over using skim coat or alternatively a full coat of a fibre reinforced smoot...

Re: Rodents getting in past cinderblock skirting
bondo's reply is remarkably similar to where we're at now. I started calling people and ended up setting an appointment with a small outfit from a small town near us that specializes in animal control. The young man who showed up said our concrete block skirting was installed very nicely, and the ov...

Re: Rodents getting in past cinderblock skirting
Yeah, I thought it was weird that the mobile doesn't set onto the blocks, but like I said, that's how it's done around here. Or so they said.
Maybe I was being lied to.
Anyway, I'll post back with whatever we decide to do.

Re: Rodents getting in past cinderblock skirting
The cinderblocks are on a poured footer. It's not a monolithic slab from one corner to the other. It's one continuous pour around the perimeter, and another wide pour down the center. In other words, there are two strips of dirt directly under the two halves of the double-wide where none of the meta...

Rodents getting in past cinderblock skirting
The mobile has been on-site for about 10 years now. We're getting some mice, and I think chipmunks too, underneath. My wife doesn't want to poison. Especially not chipmunks! The mobile is perched over cinderblock skirting, with Hardiboard overlapping the top course of the cinderblocks. Since poisoni...
