thanks again, went to a local county fair today and they had two local pole barn builders on site, had a good talk with them, and having them come out and give me an estimate on doing a roof over , both said its NOT what they normally do, but cannot see why they couldn;t do it all! SO, between them ...

thanks, thats what I want, but again I have a porch on the front side(9x17 ft), over the high side towards the middle on front and then two on the back side, one on each end one being a 12x14 and the other like a 8x12 so they stick out father from mobile home each in the back then there is very litt...

thanks, for the reply's again The mobile home here has been here for 50 yrs now, its NOT on a full cement slab either, just a small section for each support? the builder that wanted to do the roof over, wasn't even planning on doing any pads, just planned to use some of them pre made square blocks t...

yeah I get a good snow load here at times, over 2 ft isn't out of the norm in a good winter! haven't even thought about the permits and code inspection, HOPING the roofer would handle that stuff to be honest, as I know some do have to ask about that too he is supposed to be giving me a new price wit...

thanks, that's what I was thinking I thought about doing that a while ago, but then I wanted it to look more nice to the eye, and wasn't sure how to get the windows to work right if I added some sort of siding to it I talked to the one roofer that wants to to the roof over and use my walls to hold u...

the roof this guy want to put over mine is a metal like pole barn roof, BUT he wants the walls of the trailer to be what holds it all up, roof will be from center of mobile home, on front side will be 16 ft wide for 20 ft and then just 8 ft wide the rest of front side , and then back side will be 20...

OK I have been debating on what to do with my roof I contacted a bunch of roofers in the area, and , its been a struggle to get any one to even come look at a mobile home here? BUT I did find two roofers (called 5 different one's and only TWO showed up) that want to go, a rubber roof over the old ro...

when you say you did a new metal roof, was it a roof built over the old roof?? 'm still waiting on the two roofers to get back to me, call them once a week and they keep saying call me next week?? MAN it seems like they just don't want to work one guy even told me he hasn't left his house all week c...

that's what the one builder said he wanted to do, he came measured things and said he'd call me the next day, that was 2 weeks ago?? I called twice, left two messages asking if he got a price quote for me yet, and haven't heard back,. so??? heck, the other roofer never showed up and the other one sa...

thanks guys I think I am going with the rubber roof deal, had 2 roofers here all says thats the way to go and one guy that wanted to build a roof over top of my whole place?? however only one guy has given me a price, , other two said they need a few days>?? as for the do it yourself deal if my roof...

OK looking for some advice and suggestions/opinions I have an older mobile home I use for a hunting camp the roof is of the old style, where it has a rise about mid section and then drops back down it has has 3 porches added to it, one at each end on the back side and one in the middle in the front ...

thanks for the suggestion the problem with the closet access is the wall is short, and the main bar to hang things on is in the middle of the wall(where a door would need to be) and only way again to get to it is to remove everything from closet, which gets pretty full of things and the wall there i...

thanks not much room for a water softer, and not so sure my water so so hard?? and as for a drain pan, YES I added one of them a long time ago when I had a heater explode and do a crap load of damage, I also added plastic pvc like sheeting to walls to all any spraying water to run into the drain pan...

yes water heater is behind a wall, BUT then there is a closet that has a second wall that has to come down and the whole closet has to be taken apart to get to it all so its a royal pain in the butt to check on I did add a water alert alarm in with the water heater so if a leak happens an alarm SHOU...

thanks for the input but sadly to get to my water heater is a MAJOR project, that requires taking down a wall? was built with NO pre planning , and its no where you can rreally get to it any other way now was build before I got the place and with temps now in the single digits DOn't plan on taking i...
