Thanks for the reply... Ok so do I HAVE to remove the exterior window?? I was kinda hoping I could just leave the exterior window in place and slide in a real window from the inside, trim it up and we're good to go. The exterior windows are in excellent shape and the home is a 1997, with no wood rot...

Is is do-able to install "real windows" instead of interior storm windows? We have single pane windows and they leak a lot of heating and cooling to the great outdoors. I HATE the look of the interior storm windows most mobile homes have. How do I go about putting in the real windows? I ha...

I have learned to ask THIS forum for ideas before I start any project, they kept me from removing a load bearing wall, told me how to prep my floors and I am currently working on hurricane window coverings. I LOVE THIS SITE!!! No drama, no nonsense, just really good people with really good ideas... ...

NO NO... After I put down the vinyl tiles these foam blocks just sit on top of the flooring kinda like a foam runner rug.. I tried spray painting one of them with Krylon for plastic and it worked perfectly...except that the cat likes to chew on the edges and sharpen his claws on the tiles... The til...

There are places in the web selling this foam as flooring thats looks like wood but I do not want to spend anymore money since I alrea...
