Re: Gutter Installation

Are the gutter hangers installed into the 1x4 boards at the top of the walls?

Gutter Installation

What would be the best way to install gutters on this roof? Will I have to remove the brown colored metal and attach some type of thin board to attach the hangers to? I have attached two pics showing the outside and one from the inside view. Thanks.

Floor Insulation Clarification

I need to replace some flooring and all the belly insulation in a 1982 skyline. I was looking through the floor repair section of the MOBILE HOME REPAIR MANUAL and noticed there is clear plastic sheeting keeping the insulation from extending into into the joist cavities. I understand that the insula...

Re: PEX Tubing

It is possible that I was a bit harsh about your set-up guy, but I was enraged by the type of mistakes made. I have been dong this kind of work a long time and envisioned what the inspector saw. Being able to move an anchor plate easily and loose straps are obvious when doing the work. Specificatio...

Re: PEX Tubing

I hope your repair guy comes back and makes it right but I would not have faith in him or his fixing of his shoddy work. He sounds like a two bit hack that makes if hard for real contractors that have put in the time and effort to be professional. Did you pull the permit or did he? If he had you pu...

Re: PEX Tubing

What is the deal with the building inspector? The inspector pulled one of the anchor plates out with the toe of his boot. He also said some of the straps are too loose and one of the Xi2 lateral support is too far from the end of the trailer. I have been unable to get the set up guy back out to loo...

Re: PEX Tubing

I've decided to go with the 3/4" coiled Pex with cinch rings. I have a wire jenny I hope to use with the coil. The belly insulation is so far gone that pulling and fastening the PEX should not be a problem. I'll post some pics if I ever get it done. I'm still waiting for the installer and count...

Patch Hole in Ductwork

heat duct.JPG Hi, I was thinking about opening up the top of the duct some more so I could get my hands into it to patch the bottom and side. Then put a separate patch on top. Maybe use pop rivets and tin, and apply some type of sealant over it. What type of sealant would work. Somebody had tried t...

Re: PEX Tubing

I'm glad it's easy to work with. I took Greg's advice read most of the PEX posts. I am taking the laundry area out completely and turning it into storage. I was thinking about moving the electric hot water tank into that area also. I am having to replace all the bathroom/laundry floors. Thanks for y...

PEX Tubing

Hello,
I need to replace all the water pipes in a 82 Skyline rental. Has anyone had any experience using PEX tubing? Is there a specific type I should use?
