Hey Jinx, this might be the ideal project to learn to work with your pex plumbing on... not an emergency! lol if you do hire a plumber, you may want to schedule it so you can see him do crimps, and see how easy it is. then you can better decide if you want to take on any of your own repairs in the f...

adjusting the strike plate (if it is not far enough out, you can remove it, put something behind the plate at the top and bottom and replace the screws. if need something very thin, maybe try pieces of plastic from a margarine tub, if need something much thicker, maybe pieces from a paint stirrer? i...

I have heard of folks cutting and using leftover laminate flooring, it is fairly thin, and has a slightly water resistant top surface. if you use paneling,you may want to give it a coating of polyurethane so if any rain gets on it it tends to sit on top so you can wipe it off. and caulk the edges to...

maybe one of the moderators could give the link to the thread or good search terms from when folks discussed the best upgrades when buying a new MH?
