Thanks 1987 Commodore. I had the PC JR instead of the Commodore :-) Yes the panels are of some kind of flimsy wood substrate - looks like a wood panel but I'm sure it's just as thin as the manufacturer could get it. I'll take a sample to Home Depot off the wall as I just got my wallpaper samples and...

After my home was broken into in 1989, I put dead bolts on my doors by first having a 8" X 8" 1/8 steel plate fashioned with 4 holes pre-drilled for bolts to go through and a large hole cut exactly the same size the lock needs. Then mounted it with fender bolts and painted it. Works very w...

Hi y'all -- Need to replace an inside wall panel - are these thin panels on the inside walls available at Home Depot; I just need a plain simple one as it will end up being wallpapered? Also would like to wallpaper the master bedroom - any ideas before I begin? Home Depot has got the pattern I want....

Will keep everybody up-to-date as to how it went (with pix) for future generations. Thanks for the feedback....

More to come I'm sure,

Well actually it'll be Ray and myself below the home and his fiancee inside assisting with the vents and "nourishment"....

Have a nice weekend!!

Thanks Robert! This weekend is my birthday so my son is coming over to get under the house with me and look at this situation a WHOLE lot closer. I plan to slit the underbelly on one side of the house to: 1) expose one of the long horizontal runners (one runner a weekend....) 2) probably drop it / m...

Thanks Greg - I'd much rather do it now than wait till it starts getting warmer and the spiders / snakes / possums and whatever else is under there start waking up. I like the cold weather but NOT in the house. Is this "heavier duct work" something that Home Depot sells? It seems the runne...

So.... sort of sick to my stomach. Just found out why it's so cold in the winter / hot in the summer and why the furnace bills / air conditioning costs have been so high. The horizontal runners that lead to the short 12" - 18" inch verticle runners that lead to the floor ducts in each room...

Like your username, Lisa!! Ignited for Christ . So good to know there is something out that is REAL to be ignited for!! I got ignited Dec 1973. Good luck with yer question!

Thanks for the feedback Greg, that reminds me.... hey just turn the furnace OFF.... get a kerosene heater and go ahead and CLOSE everything off and then use the kero heater to keep 400 SQ FT warm!! By zingers... I can now tell Georgia Propane AND Georgia Power Co where to go...

I've got the t-stat as far down as it will go - internal thermometers indicate 50 degrees when i come home. I'll do the plastic on the windows AND I keep all doors closed..... why leave the vents open if the door is closed?.. Thanks for the kudos on the porch.... I also recently completed a huge two...

H'mmm... my double is the same way - blasted cats (They are constanly waking me up at 2-3 in the morning walking on the ducts and making it sound like somebody is breaking in - crunch crunch / creak creak)!! I was thinking taking the 2" Isocyonurate (spelling?...) found at Home Depot in 4 X 8 s...

Hello again gang!! Not going to bore you all with a long story, but the wife left me after trying to kill herself. You might remember I live in a 1982 24 X 55 double wide. She left me with $20,000.00 dollars of credit dept and I'm trying to save some money here... it's either doing this or sleeping ...
