I have been getting a funky smell in the front part of the house the past couple of weeks. It is laminate flooring in that half. I have mopped the floors thinking that was it and the smell did not go away. I have a concrete brick foundation around the mobile home so I don`t think anything could have...

I am trying to measure to replace the skylight in my mobile home. I measure the opening inside as bets I can tell its 14 by 30". Do I need to get on the roof to get an accurate measurement?

Plumber is talking about changing existing gas water heater to electric. What do I need to do? Should I have an electrician come in and install a breaker in the box for the new electric hot water heater? My box supports 200 A max so that should be enough? I would much rather have electric water heat...

Well, the plumber who was going to give me the estimate never called me back for a price so my guess is he does not want to fool with it. I guess i will have to call someone else.
I have to deal now with insurance company as part of the roof blew off during the storm.

I just had a plumber come out to give an estimate about replacing the hot water heater that is in the closet inside a bedroom in a 1994 Champion doublewide. He said that currently the heater that is there is the wrong one, it was replaced before I did not live here then. I will need a sealed combust...

Maybe something like this would work as well... http://www.amazon.com/Doberman-SE-0109-Entry-Defense-Silver/dp/B000G80TZW/ref=dp_cp_ob_hi_title_0 One of the reviewers said you can get alarms at Dollar Tree; might be worth a look. Thank You I just ordered one from Amazon. The Doberman, it looks exac...

Greg,

Thanks, beautiful dog. But I have cats. As you know they are not good security, so need something else. Looking for some type of alarm to attach that will go off if door is opened and where to buy it.

I have an outward opening door in the back. it is a typical trailer door. I can not afford to have it replaced at this time. We are having break ins. Is there any thing I can do? Is there a sensor alarm, I am looking for something really loud I can buy from anywhere to attach to it to go off to soun...

Did you use one approved for a mobile home or just a regular one like for a house? I know lowes carries the ones for mobile homes.

My hot water heat is going out. Its popping and making all kinds of noises. I want to buy a new one before it goes. This one is over 7 years old. The current hot water heater is installed in a closet in a bedroom. My question is do I have to buy a special hot water heater for a mobile home? Most of ...

What I noticed has been happening lately not all the time is that the furnace will come on for about 20 seconds and then shut off. It does not ignite just the furnace part kicks on. is this some kind of switch going bad?
Terri

it was not done by a contractor I could not find one to do it. Maybe I can get it fixed in the spring.
If I have to get up there and do it myself I will. Its hard to get anyone to work on mobile homes.

Last summer I had a porch put on the back of the house. I used OSB board with metal roofing over it. We have rain, heavy rain for 3 days. I was looking at underneath the porch today and it looks like where they nailed through the metal on top through to the OSB board it has molded underneath. Almost...

I have lost two cats in the last two weeks and have one in the ER all presenting with same symptoms. I have been sick for about a month. Anyway I got to thinking what could be causing all this? I had the gas company come out and check inside the house for gas leaks. Right away they shut off my hot w...

No we own the land. I can not do this work myself. This leak is in the concrete pad where the water main comes up and meets the line coming into the house. Its like a well, it goes down about two feet into the pad and the plumber said there is a copper line down there that comes off the main that is...
