Re: Vapor Barrier Question

Thanks guys, I contacted the company and they admitted to the poor installation. They are supposed to come back out Tuesday and fix it along with some other things that's not up to par. It's sad how there's no pride in people's work anymore..

Re: Vapor Barrier Question

Last week I had a water line freeze and bust so I got to check out the work they did while I was under there. I'm not exactly pleased. I'll try to get Some...

Re: junction boxes: (jb)

Are you adding or replacing lights?? There's shouldn't be any hidden junction boxes to find. There's really not much different between electrical in a mobile home and a stick built home. Some boxes and materials look different because of the way the home is constructed. Can lights can be added eaisl...
