The stove hood vents through the roof. My quick fix was to block off the whole thing under the hood, and not use the exhaust fan, but I want to be able to use it in the future.

I think I have the same kind of windows and did a similar thing, minus the caulk. I was concerned about replacing a broken window pane after covering the metal, since my upper windows are fixed (cannot be moved). Would you need to remove the molding to do that?

Can you tell us about the trim molding around the windows? I have done some of this too, but I'm not sure it was such a good idea. How did you do yours? Should this be a new topic?

Thanks, BP

I have owned a 1993 Skyline Corporation Cameron DW for 6 months. I have a question about a small problem regarding the stove vent. This summer there seemed to be hot air coming from the fan. And when you opened the cabinet above the stove, it was hot in there too. The vent, which goes up through tha...

Brenda, your idea for the real beadboard sounds pretty neat. Someone I spoke with today said how about using adhesive to put up four pieces (it's tongue and groove) then nail the fourth piece which should put the nails into a stud - 4 four inch pieces equals 16" on center. That sounded like it ...

The beadboard is 3/8" thick. The walls are those wallpaper covered panels that you typically see in a MH, with the strips to cover the joints. BP

Hello, I am buying a 1994 MH and want to put beadboard up the walls about 5 or 6 feet in the living areas. My idea was to buy the panels at Lowe's, but the HFH ReStore has real pine beadboard for about 16 cents a square foot!! I excitedly told my husband but he said we would need to put up 1x3's to ...

Thanks Greg. I saw that, but was expecting to find some sort of questionaire regarding my location, year and model of home, etc. Can't remember what made me think that. Anyway, now I can update my profile when I want to. BP

I'm relatively new to this site and I cannot figure out how to do my profile. If this is obvious I am going to be highly embarrassed..... Thanks, BP

Thanks Greg, and thanks Yanita for that incredibly detailed list!So many things we wouldn't have thought of. Sorry I didn't look at that before I posted my question. BP

Hello, I have just joined this forum, as my husband and I are in the process of closing on a MH. I have enjoyed reading some of the threads, but I have a question of my own. My husband is planning to do the inspection on the home, a 1993 model according to tax records. Does anyone have suggestions a...
