Re: Remodel or Replace

Maybe you can find a good deal on a newer model that is a repo, not sure about your area but try a google search on repo manufactured homes. I've seen some great deals.

Re: Exterior update

The Valspar paint is a bit pricey, but I've painted a MH before and skimped on the paint.. Don't do it! Get good quality paint. Thanks everyone, I was afraid it was going to look too "pastel" but I like it. Denise, I brushed the first coat just to get good coverage in the nooks & crann...

Re: FYI- heat ducts/Yanita

Just a p.s., the propane man came today I guess the opening in my duct had been there a while...

I am thinking about getting a pellet insert for ...

I ran into an issue where I found out that the seams inside (not sure of the correct term) bu...

under belly?

Is there anything that can be used in place of the underbelly wrap? Like something found in "any" hardware store ? Or is it best to just find a MH dealer online & order it? Also I am curious why you can buy the underbelly material 30x100 cheaper than fit to size of 70 x 14 ? I have a b...

RE: What should I do with this mess?

did you paint over the wallpaper? I had a wall that did this and I had to end up pulling the paint back off, and removing the thin vinyl top layer of the wallpaper (looked almost like a thin plastic )and then repaint using a primer
