Re: MH remodel photos part 5

I noticed you hung drywall on the walls before the ceiling. Around here we hang the ceiling first, that way the edges against the walls are suppurted by the wall drywall.

Re: Complete Rehab

Definitely get it weather proof first. I had a situation similar to your except I had 3 months before I moved in. Now I'm in my 90% finished home in a major rainstorm watching two in my newly installed windows leak on my new drywall :(

Re: My Remodel Story

The floor underneath the tub had rotted and dropped about 4-5 inches towards the wall. How did the previous owners "fix" it? Cinder blocks under the tub. Only thing that saved the old water heater from falling was the I beam ran under it. All told my $400 mobile home cost me about $4000. N...

I found on craigslist a 1968 skyline mobile home located in a park pretty close to where we wanted to live. It was the low low price of $1600, the description said livea...

Re: Coleman 8655-0766
