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: 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...
