I have a '68 Winston MH. We had an unusual 7.5-inch snow about three weeks ago. Since then we have had frequent rains. The past week has seen a lot of steady rain with intermitting down pours. This MH has a bow roof. The snow, plus the rain, has broken all the bows on one end, over the master bedroo...

WoW! The place looks great.A remodel with a half acre here only brings around $30,000.

It would be mandatory.

I just found this product.Not sure about the weight.I would surely look better than drop ceiling panels. http://www.homedepot.com/b/Building-Materials-Ceilings-Ceiling-Tiles/TopTile/N-5yc1vZc58lZbro I had a look at this and got a quote on supplies.Almost $3000 to do the entire ceiling in my 12x60.I...

Watch the video.These panels should work great for DIY,but they may get spendy.

I found this but I'm pretty sure the price point will be off for us. http://www.nuformdirect.com/products-so ... ts/reline/

I'm looking for the same thing.I thought about using sheetrock but was unsure if it'd work due to weight.

Ok.We decided to pull the interior ceiling.It needs to be replaced anyway.It's sagging bad and breaking apart.I will inspect and replace the bows from inside.I've done this before many years ago.Then I will do a conventional roof over. My question now is how do I finish the edges of the roof over? I...

JD I understand what you're saying.The ripple is from a failed floor joist in that area along the outside wall,in an area where the frame doesn't have a support running to the outside wall.

Thanks all.I do own the land.I actually have a house and two trailers on the same land.All occupied by me and my mom.One trailer will be demo'ed once I get this trailer back in good condition. I can do full trusses for $17 each with the full bottom cord.I got a local price of $60 each for my 12 x 12...

I really have no other choice.All I can do is get a demo permit and tear it down.It was my dad's place and the place I have lived all my life.I have seen other trailers done with an A frame roof with the frames set on 24 inch centers and built with 2x6 studs.This is how my friends roof is done using...

Great remod.It gives me some ideas for my two units.

Do your wiring first,leave a little slack in the wiring so insulation can be tucked up in the roof.My roof isn't vented, but the insulation goes from ceiling level to metal roof level.Remember not to compress the insulation.Run your vapor barrier.It should be tucked behind the wall vapor barrier and...

I am in the process of planning a complete interior and exterior remodel.I was looking into doing a roof over but after inspection,I have found many broken bow frames under the metal roof along with many pin hole rust spots.Should I tear the entire metal roof off and build common rafters, like the n...
