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: 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...

Re: Coleman 8655-0766
Thanks for the reply Robert. I luckily have a wiring diagram and I'm gonna go through it this weekend. I have a feeling its that realy but I'm gonna try disconnecting a wire from the gas valve and see if that shuts it down.
