Re: Code enforcement ?
I was just wondering if that was common---I think they are just making sure work is being done in timely order---and they have been great--we have asked ?'s about things and they give great advice--I think they run into people that do not know what they are doing and try to keep a look out on all th...

Re: MH photos part 6--ceiling/roof/siding
We are not done--that is not dry wall in the ceiling--we have many rentals and we use trim where the seams are--much easier to repair if damaged--plus in a mh where the seams meet is usually a problem area--you will see how nice it will look when we are done--this one will be more custom due to it i...

Re: Dryer Vent Question
I have a gas dryer--love it,saves me $ 100 a month in electric---do not vent it under your home--it has to be directly vented---take the metal venting for the dryer directly up and out the roof--I think it has to go 2 ft above your ridge vent on the house--do this ASAP--you are getting CO2 directly ...
