Wow a new double wide here is less than this-- on a rented lot. Location,Location--I will send you a link privately you might want to check out. Like what was said above figure out all the cost--subtract from offer,take photos with the estimates and send that with your offer. I have bought many plac...

Forgot to take my camera--so the photos are a little out of line--the last time I posted we had built all new walls and floors, --we got all the electric done, new sewer lines,new plumbing--we run our lines inside,vs under mh--previous owners had removed furnace--insulated all.dry wall.primed and pa...

I have this type of brick on a house I bought--I bought a house with 2 mobile homes on the same large lot. It looks just like brick until you get right up to it. Mine is not insulated. If you use this, you might do flower bed/landscape so the weed eater does not tear it up--maybe put something aroun...

I am honored to be asked!!! I love to remodel and design houses. I found this forum in late 2009 when we were in the process of buying property with 2 mobile homes--1973 models in need of much love. I had tons of questions about everything involved with a mobile home and all of my questions were ans...

I am a little late on this so you might have already decided--but the rent a month will be 850 unless you raise it--67000 is for the land only? Have you checked into insurance and taxes and any other cost---do you pay any utilties---some parks pay water/sewage and garabage--will you have maintainanc...

Hi we just finished replacing windows and doors in 2--1973 mobile homes. If you are going to replace with vinyl siding---the windows can be any size you want --that will work with your home and budget--you can just pick up stock windows--not custom order sizes---we have window companies @ my area an...

I have experience with vinyl planks,hard wood floors,ceramic tiles in my house and better peal and stick tiles--Armstrong 25 yr and laminate floors in mobile home. Can answer any ?'s The mh we r currently gutted and total remodel is going to get the Armstrong 25 yr tiles--they look like a stone with...

Not sure of the wording in your post but your metal roof should have used special screws with a rubber gasket for the roof, then is required to have felt paper under metal roof or it voids the warranty on the roof--we just had one put on our house --the metal will sweat. And the worry of any mold is...

I looked at your MH and it looks in great shape,new carpet or laminate, some new light fixures, a good primer and paint for the walls(Looks like you have the vinyl printed wall board ,not paper wall paper) with new trim and maybe crown molding,new curtains and you will have a wonderful home. The kit...

Welcome to the list and to the world of owning a 1970's mobile home--I had a long reply and clicked to something and it poof was gone---so here is my blog on our diy mh redo http://myprojects-dcdiva.blogspot.com/ look at it from the beginning. We have started on our 2nd MH in July,replaced all the f...

I hope I can explain it--you push in the buttons on the windows,both at the same time and the window will come out at this area and then slide in a track at the other end and if you twist the window it will come out--oh it works best if the window is up--it give u more room to work--good luck--some ...

Did they clean your outside condensor unit,mine in my house did not cool and the tech cleaned the outside unit--witha special cleaner and the hose it took 3 times as mine was really junked up but that fixed the problem--if u can buy the special cleaner?? it could be a diy--not sure---then my drain g...

I know older MH vents are made of a heavy cardboard/foiled combo, not sure when this changed or has changed to regular metal duct work---in the past year we have removed 2 sets of duct work from older 1973 MH and in both cases both ends of the duct work had opened up--they were just stapled with lik...

I personaly do not think it would work, a MH has so much flex even walking across it, a second story of a house is not made with 2x4 floors--minimum is usually 2x8 or 2x10 and some are made with engineer floor joices. I would check with the maker of the product as any warrenty would be voided if not...
