Are you talking about Hardi-backer or that paneling that looks like tile? Hardi-backer is a Brand Name that they use when installing ceramic tile. The Mortar thinks the Hardi-backer is concrete. Because Mortar does not like to stick to wood. If you are considering putting ceramic tile around a tub /...

In Arkansas the Fire Departments are required to have a Bridge Plan. All the bridges in their district, they have to know the weight rating of them. This is so they don't drive the fire truck tanker, with 2,000 gallons of water (16,000 pounds) across the rickedy bridge. Maybe MH movers should get a ...

When I was fresh out of High School, I was the Oil Changer at a New Car dealership. The boss explained that I was supposed to look for other problems. Do they need a new belt? and similar problems. I never met these Mobile Home levelers but some... might look at your house and say "You need to ...

You could put regular carpet with quality padding in the hallway.
You might put commercial carpet, without any padding on the wall halfway up. Staple it to the wall.

This would keep the sound from bouncing down the hallway.

If you have kids, please do not get white carpet.

Sometimes Mobile Home parts are different than
regular house parts. I know plumbing parts are different, not sure about electric things.

Maybe call a local mobile home dealer and see if there is a Mobile Home Repair person in the area.

More Cowbell is a phrase from a SNL (saturday night live) skit that aired on April 8, 2000 It was Actor Christopher Walken who was playing the Manager of the Band Blue Oyster Cult He said, "I got a fever, and the only prescription... is more cowbell!" Just google "More Cowbell" f...

Here's a solution - MORE COWBELL

I used to work at a carpet store, so here's my two cents. PLUS - If one square gets dirty you can replace it. MINUS - When the floor gets cold, the tiles shrink and that is when they also get loose. MINUS - The glue sometimes sticks to the wood floor, sometimes it don't. Because the glue is designed...

Thanks for the tip about Doorknobs. Plumbing fixtures for Mobile Homes are different also. I learned that when I was trying to fix stuff here and could not find connections that fit. Always tell the Hardware Person: This is a Mobile Home I am working on. This is good for the Economy because it keeps...

It might be worth it to change the OFF/ON switch and the light fixture at the same time. In summer camp we would Unscrew the light bulbs just enough they didn't make good contact. So when the camp counselor came in to check on us... all the light bulbs blew. So the lesson here, if there is not posit...

I agree with Mark. Mobile Home dealers want their new product transported and set up by professionals.

Contrary to popular belief... moving a mobile home is not the same as moving a semi-trailer. Besides damage to the Mobile Home, amatures have been known to damage other things in the city.

Even if the unit is on concrete, it can still get blown away in a tornado. The Anchors just anchor the frame to the ground or concrete slab. If the house is not level, find a licensed mobile home installer in your area. Get an Estimate on re-leveling the house. I think it will be less than $1,000 It...

Check with the local water companies. Rural Water Associations are small and will usually work with you on Advising WHERE they provide service. If you can find a house that is already on a public water system that would be one less thing to worry about. See if they can just keep the meter in place a...

Sounds feasable. You might talk to a local roofing contractor to get some tips too. Be sure to keep some VERTICAL WALLS I checked on a demolition job this week. It was two 12x30 sheds they had bolted together. They took the front wall off one and the back wall off the other. Even though they had 2x1...

When I rewired my trailer, I bypassed the old wiring.
I put a new breaker box in and then put new plug ins about 5 foot high so I wouldn't have to bend over to reach a plug.
I put all the plugs on the outside of the paneling.
It ain't as pretty but there is copper instead of aluminum.
