Sqeaks due to Rodents or movement?

Hi everyone, Happy Thanksgiving to all. I have had this squeak near my heater vent next to my bed for about a yr. It was small, and I pulled up the register and looked at the flr, and the flr looks solid, no rot, or wetness, and noticed that the aluminum that they put up from the bottom of the vent ...

RE: Help w/ contractor

Hi, thanks you guys. I told the contractor what I'd found, the minute he got here. He took one look at it and said "Oh wow, I have to do this all over again." That made me happy and sad, a day wasted, and yet the contractor was good enough to realize his mistake. I went out of my way to ge...

RE: Help w/ contractor

Hi you guys, Maybe I made this sound too simplistic. The hot water heater flooded my MH. It's taken me wks to get the contractor, insurance, etc, out here. I'm taking care of my mom who is dying. I had only 2wks off, and I have no MORE time. So DO I DEMAND my money back? I don't have time to have it...

Rent control in CA M.H. Parks

Hi, I've been aware that there is a proposition, in the upcoming CA :shock: . election in June. If it affects CA. and it passes, it'll affect everyone. It's called Prop. 98, and it's calling to "release rent control" , but the wording is such that it's tricky. I'm just wondering has anyone...

Thank you for getting back to me. I'm a nervous wreck!!! This has been a VERY bad yr. Anyway, I was told by "Service Masters" the 'drying out people" that the "Adjuster" will come out, look things over and try to cut me a check. And then I have to do all the legwork. I have ...

RE: Cross over Duct?

Robert. wow, I'm showing my lack of knowledge here. But, it looks exactly like what is in Marks book. There is "no airflow" on the outer side of my double-wide. I thought when this MH was installed that it was just due to poor ventilation. I closed all the vents on the side where the "...

Hi, I'm new to this forum. But I had a "1/2 ton truck" run into my MH about 10 yrs ago. The insurance co. told me it was "fixable", yet it was Red tagged. They wouldn't let me live in in, because the frame, was like an accordion. My insurance told me they would give me $7000 to &...
