Hi Ashley, your question will probably get moved over to the heating and cooling section, but a couple of quick suggestions: check that the gas valve into the furnace is turned correctly to on.... read all of the directions to light the pilot several times.. I once had a furnace that had to be lit w...

some states let you change the mobile home from vehicle to deeded property if you install/update to the correct type of foundation and submit the correct paperwork... this can be anything from what the home sits on, to just installing cemented together cinder blocks around an existing home.... local...

I did a ceiling repair with 1/2 foam board insulation. I primed the board before installing it. I used a plastic bag to texture the primer, and this made it blend in with the other ceiling panels better after I painted it with the color coat...

Betsy, I suggest that you will want to tape the underside of the rim also before spraying the bottom of the sink. that is so that the rim will be clean and flat to set back onto the sink.... and you might want to put a bead of caulk on the rim before replacing the sink into the counter top. I took a...

Hello, if the repair is that complex, you might want to get the mobile home repair book, since you are possibly facing plumbing repair, tub replacement, joist repair, floor repair, reinsulating, and underbelly repairs...each a little different from single family home repair (pex plumbing, flooring c...

well, I know what to do if it is the average teenager..... classical music.... there are those sonic devices, non toxic, you could try that... i would like to know if moth balls would work, put in jars with holes punched in the lid, would not be able to run the heating or cooling system though, any ...
