RE: Back From Disneyland!

Hey Yanita! I know you've got a lot on you're plate also.. no need to apologize at all! I know you read every post! I'll get used to it in time. I'm busy cleaning their room out now! Paint and decor will follow.... easy way to work off the mommy pangs! Harry, we would love to go back to graduation f...

RE: Back From Disneyland!

Hi All! I thought that I would breeze through this week just fine! What a roller coaster the military is these days! Not to mention mother nature sticking her head into things LOL! After we got home, we spent every minute with the boys! Neither Warren or I could tear ourselves away from the last few...

Back From Disneyland!

Hey folks, I breezed by the forum tonight, but we just got home a few hours ago! We all took a last minute family trip to Anaheim for the last 5 days. For you newcomers, our son and our sort of adopted son ship out for the Army this next Tuesday. They will be in basic training in Fort Benning GA for...

RE: Do-It-Yourself Concrete Pad

Hey guys, busy wedding weekend here! I've been keeping up with the post Mark. From your photos Mark, I'd have to guess that you used the broom a little too soon. The concrete wasn't set just right. Another tip, don't use a nylon broom. The brushed finish seems way to rough and deep. Yes. it is an ar...

Happy Labor Day Weekend Everyone!

Hi Folks! My gosh, where did the Summer go? Yep, it's Labor day weekend down here in the states! Yippeeeee... 3 whole days off, if you aren't in the wedding or casino business LOL! Warren now has Friday and Saturdays off...almost unheard of in the casino business, but he's helping with weddings. He ...

RE: Warped frame

Here's my 2 cents on insurance claims. Get more than 1 or 2 opinions and read your policy very carefully! Everything hinges on your insurance policy and what type you have. Some will restore the home, others will replace. If the damage is on the cusp of being totaled, you need more than one estimate...

RE: Chaulky coating and cracked

Hello, I'm not sure I can be of any help here. Repairing vinyl and painting can be a chore! The only paint that will stick to vinyl is Krylon's Fusion. That is a little pricey to cover shutters with. You might be able to fill in the cracks with a silicone, paintable caulk, but it won't be perfect at...

RE: Repair 1989 or buy new?

I'll throw my 2 cents in here also! Like Yanita , we also own an older home now, a '73 model. Solid as a rock! But, it was a top of the line model in it's day. Back in the early 80's, I bought a top of the line home and was very disappointed with it! I had the manufacturer out there every month for ...

RE: Do-It-Yourself Concrete Pad

Excellent job Mark! Both my dad and uncle were DIY pros in concrete, brick and rock work. I spent many days learning from them! Between the 2 of them, I have a good 50 years of being a grunt to them lol! Helped my dad until he passed away and I've been right there for my Uncle since. I have yet to d...

RE: Return after long absence - update

Hi June, Great to see you back! Sounds like you've been really busy! I understand working to remodel the house lol! I'm not around much anymore either. Last year, I was working overtime to help Ryan with tuition for college. He and Daniel joined the Army, so I can now get back to renovations instead...

RE: Hard Weekend Ahead

Good luck with the tub removable! I can't even imagine a tub that size, sticking out into other rooms! At the same time, it only goes to show that you can disguise anything! I'm glad you were compensated for it though. Just curious, are you texturing walls or ceilings with this sprayer? I've only se...

RE: Holes in Wood panel......

Hi Nikki, I'm going to guess that it was just a good match of contact paper. Contact has a number of wood grain peel and stick papers available. I bet a former owner creatively covered the hole with the contact paper! I only know this because I covered the back part of an entertainment center once w...

Did all of that with the older boy years ago! Maybe it's the fact that these are the last to go LOL! We don't have grandkids yet, ...

Hi Nikki, welcome back to the forum! The sticky above is the very best info we have before buying a used mobile! Of course, every home will have their own little problems. You're only sure fire way to find out about a particular home, is to hire a mobile home inspector to go through the home and che...
