Hanging Kitchen Cabinets

Just bought (4) new hickory wall cabinets from Lowe's. two are 30" L x 12" W and two are 30" L x 30" W. What is an easy way to hang these when there isn't a stud to screw into? I live in a single wide mobile home built in 1988. The cabinets are going on the wall across the wall t...

Re: Coleman Model DGAH077 BBSA Furnace ignitor

I AM SORRY FOR WASTING EVERYONE'S TIME. I just read the directions, after the job is done of course. It says to put the ignitor sleeve insulation in the "strain relief" (plastic piece), in order for the strain relief to fit snugly in the burner mounting plate.

Re: Coleman Model DGAH077 BBSA Furnace ignitor

I got it all together. I slid down the canvas (I think it's canvas) wire cover to make the wires thicker in the plastic piece which made it a little tighter in the hole. All went well except i dropped one screw in a small opened area next to the furnace that I can't get back but that's ok. Saved a l...

Re: Coleman Model DGAH077 BBSA Furnace ignitor

Well......I got the plastic piece off and apart but now it doesn't expand enough to tighten up in the hole of the cover. It doesn't look like I broke it.

Coleman Model DGAH077 BBSA Furnace ignitor

Figured out my sensor is bad so I am now trying to put a new one on. I have the circular plate off the furnace but cannot figure out how to get the black plastic piece that the plate is between off!!!! I assume this is reusable because it holds the ignitor wires together. I thought I'd better write ...

Dented/hole in metal roof

A tree branch fell on my roof and left a dented check mark type hole in the roof. Is it ok to pry the edges up with a screwdriver and use some roofing cement from a tube to fix this? Or do I have to use a metal patch? If I have to use a patch what is the best way to do that? Each line is an inch lon...

Outside Screws

We decided to replace the rusted screws on the outside of our mobile home. Problem is there is still a stain around the screw holes that isn't completely covered by the screw. Any idea on how to get rid of this? We plan on painting the home eventually and don't want that stain to come through.

Re: Floor and double sink pics

Tub was sprayed. I don't know what product was used. I was just told an epoxy. The tub was old and looked it. Ponch37300, I'm skeptical about it too but for now I am very happy with it.

Re: Floor is rotted under entrance door

There was a small area in front of the wall and under the wall that was so I ripped it out. So if you feel under the wall now you can feel jagged edges of the clean stuff that I cannot get all the way out.

Bathroom exhaust fan

I live in a 1987 14 x 70 mobile home and the bathroom exhaust fans don't seem to work well. Is that common in a mobile home this old and the fans need updated or do they just need replaced cause they're old?
