I go to the Dollar Store and get fruit drinks. One gallon for $1.50 Sometimes I water it down so it will go further. In the summer, I get a gallon jug of water and put two alka-seltzer in there. The baking soda makes the stomach better and the asprin helps aching muscles. We had an 18 year old doing...

You can check at Lowes for some Brush on paint that might Stop the rust. In Aresol cans they have Rustoleum spray paint.
Like they said, it is normal for the beams to have rust on them. If you have a kid in the neighborhood that wants to make some extra money, let him crawl under there and get dirty.

First, I ain't moving out there but... My fience and I are looking for a house right now. Part of my demands are a nice neighborhood and good neighbors. So if you have a list in your mind of say... School District, Local Churches, Stores that are close to the house, and a run down of how nice the ne...

I agree, probably part of the hitch thingy. If you want to replace them, just for looks or just in case... Put some Anti-Seize compound on them. I recommend Fel-Pro C5A and be sure to get the High dollar bolts at the hardware store or mobile home supplier. In reality, don't worry about it. If you ev...

We had a 120 volt tankless heater at work in the restroom. It worked fine for small sinks just washing your hands. I don't know how it would be for washing dishes. One safety tip, if you have kids or elderly people in the house, be careful how hot you have it. Over 120 degrees Farenheight is too hot...

If it is the carpet and upholstery, they can just gut the trailer and put new stuff in it.

If they go out and get a job they won't have time to sit around the house breathing formaldehyde.

Good Call Greg. Once again you have kept us from going on a tangent.
Most hardware stores have mechanical drain cleaner tools for under $20. Just wear some gloves and run the wire thingy down in there.
If there are kids in the house, you can get them their toys back.

Under the Arkansas Mobile Home Code, the minimum is 12 inches off the ground. That is measured at the bottom of that big Frame Rail. So, if you have a flat concrete block 4 inches thick, and one 8 inch tall cinder block, that is 12 inches. Plus you will have at least a 2 inch flat block on top of th...

Sometimes you can find skirting at Lowes. You can also check local mobile home suppliers. I ain't in the skirting business, but you might want to call a mobile home dealer and have them recommend a person to put on the skirting for you. By the time you purchase skirting and tools, it may come out to...

If you can locate the sewer lines and septic tank,
then go out and remove bushes and little trees around it. Also keep people from driving over the lines and septic tank.
Now is a good time of year to clear brush. It ain't as thick now and all the bugs and snakes are asleep.

Adding one thing to dust topic... Make sure your dryer vent, vents outdoors and NOT under the house. Check to make sure the clamps on the hose thingy are snug and dryer exhaust hose has not jiggled crooked. Here is a post about dryer vents

When I worked at the carpet store, we had many customers with similar issues of allergies. The least expensive flooring fix is to get vinyl flooring. I live in the country and have dogs in the house and me and nephew work on cars. Getting rid of the carpet will clear up much of the dust in a few day...

Personal Property, mostly just automobiles and mobile homes, is a rate based on the assesesed value of that item. In Arkansas, the asse...
