Re: Installed LP Wall Mounted Heater in 14 X 70
Thanks for the feedback, Greg. I asked that because the brand new flare tool would not grip the tubing. The tubing just pushed thru the tool instead of flaring. So I had to determine if I had the wrong size/type of tubing or the tool was defective. I went to an auto store and bought one of their too...

Re: Installed LP Wall Mounted Heater in 14 X 70
A couple more things about the installation of this heater. No one store had all the pipe and/or brass fittings needed. I had to go to four different stores to get everything. Lowes is suppose to have a flexible line system with a regulator for 100 lb. tanks, but was sold out and weeks away from get...

Installed LP Wall Mounted Heater in 14 X 70
This week I purchased and installed a 20,000 BTU (2 Gas Option) heater in a 14 X 70. It's suppose to heat 700 sq. ft.. The heater was purchased from Lowes. The heater is a Feature Comforts brand and can be set on the floor or wall mounted. I fabricated a wall bracket out of wood with a 3/4" thi...

Re: 14 x 70 Renovations
Yantia/Greg, Thank you for your replies. This 14 x 70 still has the OEM metal track window, 30" x 54". No storm windows at all. Other than not being energy efficient, the windows work well (tracks are smooth operating) and the seals are still good. I'm planning on good quality double pane ...

Re: 14 x 70 Renovations
It's been several weeks since this year's renovations were completed. Three observations: 1. It's much quieter inside the M.H. with the new insulation and siding. The siding "creaked" for a few days after the job was finished, right after sundown, as the temp outside dropped. But seems to ...

The siding job was finally completed yesterday. The company owner apologised for it taking ten working days. But the siding looks good (Mastic brand). Fit and finish is good. This completes the major repairs and renovations for this year. There are still a few minor projects such aas adding an addit...

Robert, You had a lot of spiders. Sounds like a colony of them. Or is that normal population? Did you make these glue traps? I'd like to try that. On another forum, there's a fellow from Tenn. whose hilltop property is infested with rattle snakes. I wouldn't want to come eyeball-to-eyeball with one ...

I thought I'd be posting the 'Before' and 'After' photos by now. The siding job is going into the eighth day and the company is saying it won't be done until this next Monday. Most of the time it's one man working by himself. Occassionally, another one joins him. He is doing a good job, though. The ...

Another note on installing siding on a M.H.. The installer told me about having to locate where the electrical wires run in a horizontal metal channel or conduit in the walls. (maybe someone with M.H. electrical experience could say what the correct name and construct of this). He has to make sure n...
