Re: Condensation in ceiling/roof area - Again!

This does not help your roof leak but we advise all MH owners to diligently run the exhaust fans in the winter. Do this especailly when cooking or showering, leave the exhaust fans running for up to an hour after finishing each.

Greg S is on the money with this one in my opinion.

Re: Where to start remodel--what order

Hi, In your list of repairs the first one that stood out to me was needing the new roof. With that said I would relevel or check for level first...then a new roof! Anything and everything under that roof needs to remain dry or all else is a waste. Then I would go ahead with the plumbing, always keep...

Re: New Mobile home owner needs help

Hi,

If you live in an area with freezing winter temps, IMO, your underbelly material is imperative. To not have your underbelly in proper repair you will certainly have frozen pipes, not to mention very cold floors and extremely high heat bills.

Re: Legal Question Regarding Parks and decks???

That's N.C.! Did anyone give you specifics as to why your steps/decks are not to code...risers wrong, footings, railings not the right height, spindles not spaced properly?

Re: Laundry stacked in corner- home vibrates

Hi, I seriously doubt this unit would require perimeter blocking. I used to have one of these units and it practically walked across the floor everytime it went into the spin cycle. These laundry centers are very light weight in comparison to individual units...or at least mine was.We took the brack...

Re: Do you like showers or tubs? or both?

Showers mostly, but I do enjoy a long hot soak! When we renovated our bathrooms here we found out that code for us was at least one bathroom had to have a tub... If you plan on selling in the future I would put in a tub/shower unit...a multi bedroom home typically houses families with kids. Even tho...

Re: pet odor floor damage

Hi, I have used Natures Miracle in the past..but this was for minor ocassional accidents. I personally think that if the damage is significant then replacement is necessary. Animals can generally smell through any type of blocker, so the next person that lives there with a pet will have his pet &quo...

Re: mice... how to get rid of them

Hi, I am going to move this to the off topic forum as it is not about repairs. There are manypast threads on this...But, I am of the opinion to remove all the food sources and set traps. Using poisons only make them smell in the under belly or possibly duct work if they have manged to get in there. ...
