Just a few more items,,,,, everything in the bath should be done next weekend http://lsspecialists.com/Bath-don11.jpg http://lsspecialists.com/Bath-don21.jpg Had a visitor at the dock this weekend,,,, he likes the fresh water! http://lsspecialists.com/Man3.JPG http://lsspecialists.com/Man2.JPG http:...

We did a standing seam metal roof on our doublewide,,, mostly because of the hurricane issue. Lots of regular homes here in the Keys have them. Underneath instead of felt we did a peal and stick, rubbber, self healing membrane (Ice & Water Dam) kind of stuff. It's been on a year,,, so far so goo...

Last weekend..... still need to set tiles on the edge of the shower and grout

Funny you should mention this. When we bought our trailer it had been vacant for some time. Needless to say the toilets were very dirty and frankly built for someone much smaller. My wife insisted that new ones be installed the first weekend there. I installed two of these,,,, they came with everyth...

Will it ever be done??? I'll finish the knockdown on the walls on Saturday as well as the tile. Grouting on Sunday and primer the walls. Replace all of the polybutelyne pipes with CPVC, installed shower stall and green board. Note waterproof LED Can light I put in the shower. Sweet! http://lsspecial...

I'm certinallyt not the last word on anything but we looked really hard at the trafficmaster strips but opted for wood looking laminate. Couldn't be happier. BTW,,, we have two big knuckleheads are they slip and slide a bit on it,,, but they don't scratch it.

Well I I posted this question on three different forums and no one replied. :( So I opted to build a small platform. Seems to have fixed my issues as the back wall fits correctly now. The beveled floor joists. I ended up with the floor sagging just under 1/2". http://lsspecialists.com/bathnew8....

Hey Guys. I've hit a snag with the new shower stall. I dry fit a 60” 4 piece Sterling Accord shower this weekend and the back wall is about 1 1/2" out from the studs at the top. With that, it looks like the floor has a major drop from back to front of 1/2" to 3/4" or so. So the questi...

Loved the pictures! Thanks for sharing, looks awesome :) I was curious as to what type of tiles you used on the counter tops, ceramic? They look like 12x12, are they floor tile? If I ever get up the courage, I might tackle a redo on the counter, and I love the look of tile..but being a new DIY'r, I...

Well the time has come for the master bedroom and bath. The bathroon dresssing area before. You'll notice it's seperate from the toilet and shower and the dressing area is open to the bedroom. http://lsspecialists.com/bathkey21.jpg http://lsspecialists.com/bathkey11.jpg This is the toilet/shower are...

I haven't posted in a while so I thought I'd post this update. The wife and I took a week of vacation last week and built a deck off the back. Wasn;t much of a vacation but I do tthink the deck looks terrific. Time to start on the master bedroom and bath!

I have a question regarding the type of replacement sliding glass door I should be looking for as I'm not that knowledgable about stick frame construction. Based on what I'm seeing online, I want a sliding door set with some type of flange that would wrap the outside of the framing to help with keep...

Thanks for your thoughts!. The good news is,,, this isn't the master, it's our second bedroom. We have a doublewide so the master is about 12x18 give or take a bit. As for the guest bedroom we really don't want anyone getting that comfortable,, so small is good! Is that bad of us? :-) I started on t...

So far so good on the flooring in the kitchen. I guess the secrect is don get it too wet. We did get a lot (I do mean a lot and it sat there for a week) of water in around the front door and the flooring has cupped a bit. The current plan is to put tile down right in front of the door just in case w...

I haven't updated this is a while so I thought I'd post a few new pictures. These are the second bedroom which was a complete wreck due to the water leaks. I replaced some drywall on the celing as well as the total outside wall drywall and insulation. reframed the closet door opening for bi-folds an...
