Have you reported them to the park owner yet.

Ponch you should get a group of concerned residents together to approach the owner. Lay out your concerns and complaints regarding the standards of the community and ask that they take action to enforce the community rules. A suggestion that some are considering moving their homes to another communi...

Lot rents in our park (and the area) are top end $240/ month plus water (18/month). We also have government rent controls so many lot rents are considerably lower. We do have parks in the $600/month range but they are high end gated adult only communities with all possible amenities. Because your lo...

The washer is definitely the source of the problem. Something has changed in the washer during the move and will need to be repaired.

60,000 to 80,000 single wide mobile homes, in a park, with lot rent ------ in Canada. Depending on the area I have seen mobiles (single wide) up here in parks sell for 150,000 or more. If well maintained ours do increase in value but usually only as a reflection of the updates. With surrounding stic...

The axils are worth money if in usable condition, remove and sell. As far as the tongue is concerned it has no structural purpose. Smart park owners would insist that all tongues be removed once the home is set. Aesthetically they are as ugly as hell especially when camouflaged with plantings.

Redone mid 70s homes in our area usually sell between 60,000 and 80,000 depending on how "redone " they are.

Look in the phone book under drywall contractors.

What exactly is dripping and why would you not simply stop/repair the drips.

Spray foam.
It's purpose is to seal around window/framing and has a insulating R value. Caulking is not designed to seal around window/framing and has no R value.
The right tool for the job is always the prefered method.

Forget the rigid foam. It is way too labour intensive to use in a confined space under a home. Your best option is Roxul. It is waterproof, unlike fiberglass insulation, and available at Home Depot. Don't forget to install the vapour barrier against the floor and around under the floor joists before...

Contact an insurance broker not insurance companies directly. A broker will find a company that will insure your home and get the best rate. There is no substitution for home insurance. I often hear of fund raisers for individuals that lose their home to fire and have no insurance coverage. I have z...

Based on my personal experience, renovating mobiles, I would advise you buy the newest one you can afford and preferably one that has not had any additions added on. My experience dealing with older mobiles with additions is that the majority of owners and contractors working on mobiles in the 70s a...
