levelling and sewer pipes
When levelling a mobile home, it seems there would be an allowance in the movement of sewer pipes. Just how does one know when one is at the limit of moving those pipes when levelling?

Not having proper drainage either, I am sure holes and water collapsing them did not help the tilt. The trailer was sitter an inch up from the supports. The ...

self levelling compound

Do I mud moisture proof drywall in bathroom?
Does one need to mud the moisture proof drywall that is hidden behind the shower walls and if so, do I need special mud that is resistant to moisture? I am laying the plywood floors, placing the basin, erecting the drywall and then securing the shower walls. How's it sound so far...

heat tracer and insulating wrap on pex

Re: 6 mil plastic as underbelly wrap?
i put the 6 ml on the ground as a barrier, then i used a proper underbelly wrap, then insulation. Can i now put another 6ml or less on top of the insulation before laying the plywood floor which would hold my rug?
