Thanks for all your posts. I've written them down. I got some help from someone with a fancy machine, which got off the peeling paint and rust much better than the little drill-bit brush I was using. My MH is over forty years old and the tongue seems to be part of the construction underneath the hou...

Is there something better than the wire-brush that fits in the drill? It's a much bigger job than it looked.... I hope I'...

He said that the sound is probably water going into the water heater, and that it sounds normal. The park manager and workers, and the gas company man, worked tod...

Water heater sound, & possible leak into septic tank....
With all faucets shut off, there is a small water flow into my septic tank. No faucets drip. The toilet is fine. There is a sound in the water heater closet, which to me, sounds like water running.
