Painting Plywood Exterior

I prep'd the outside for paint today and was wondering if I should spray or maybe roll the outside? With spaying the masking will take about as long as the painting, not to mention over spray and using more paint. The siding is not a deep groove T-111, but there is about and 1/8 groove for sure. I a...

Interior Doors

Hi All- Since I am new to mobile home remodeling, I am bound to make mistakes. Fear not, I did. The interior doors in our mobile were crap, so I ripped them out. I figured I would just buy new prehung ones and install them. That is when I got my education. It appears that everyone and their brother ...

Re: CPVC PIPE

Can I just drill a hole in the floor and run the new PEX through to the hot water tank? Toilet? Is that code?? It's probably a stupid question, as that is what they did with the CPVC, but I like to do things properly and just want to make sure.

CPVC PIPE

I have a bunch of Underbelly,walls, and floors open on my Project. I had to fix a leaky shower pipe, and replace the flooring where the Hot Water tank was. Most of the pipe is 1996 CPVC pipe. While I dont want to create more work for myself, would it be wise to replace it? I think a lot of it is get...

Re: HELP!! Water in Floor Insulation

Thanks Greg- I went down and slit the underbelly in a few places yesterday and got rained on. I will let it dry for a few days while I look for a contractor to replace it. That may be me, but we'll see what I can dig up. 1987Commodore - I am very suspicious of this. I need to demo the front deck whi...
