Robert, Thank you for the comments. I'll post on progress as things get done. I'm logging an account (with this thread), making simple observations in layman's terms and from the view of the end user, me. The carport will be installed today, but that will turn out okay. I had an extra one foot added...

flcruising, The bill of materials comes to a little over $1,000. The rest is labor. They are installing it right now. I'll have enough material and hardware left over to do the yard barn skirting. BTW, One of the installers told me he took a piece of CertainTeed and cut a hole in it for his wood sto...

Greg, My first plan was to build my own skirting system out of redwood fence planks. There is a M.H. near here with redwood skirting and redwood privacy fence. I've been watching it for years and it still looks good. But the cost of just the material would have been around $1,500 and me providing th...

Greg, I have a quote of $1,700 for the CertainTeed skirting installed. I like the stucco look and the fact that it is very hard and comes with a 50 year written warranty. It is less expensive than other types of skirting. Appears to be a good value. The ground channel is 4 inches high on the outside...

RE: 14 x 70 Renovations
The re-leveling was done this morning by a three-man crew. Took about 1 1/2 hours. With the old vinyl skirting removed, it had to make it easier for them. The M.H. was out about 1/2" worst case. It's been 16 years since the last leveling. The crew had the tools, the techniques and worked withou...

RE: belly insulation
Thanks for pointing me to the repair kits/supplies. Using the tape would be a bad bandaid, since it appears the OEM material is starting to deteriorate from age (23 years old). The OEM material is sandwiched in between the metal chassis and the joists, so using part number 5040 (cut-to-size) does no...

RE: belly insulation
Are there any belly insulation systems on the market for mobile homes? I patched a couple of holes using Owens-Corning R19 and (2) layers of heavy plastic tarp, stabled to the bottom of the joists. It's holding up okay, but I wonder if there is something else available. I want to keep this M.H. and ...
