pipes in winter
In the original part of my trailer, the previous owner switched the bathroom and furnace locations. Being able to get underneath this part of my trailer, I noticed the underbelly was cut open to access the plumbing fixtures. Before I seal up the slashes with the recommended tape, do I need to protec...

Re: Too low to go under
i'm straddling the joists and standing on the ground...i can start digging away the dirt from the one end of the trailer out from under the beam.
