I can not tell from the photo but r your kitchen cabinets by this area--JMO if it was my house I would take all of this out--it is made out of the tracks for a drop in ceiling--then put in what ever kind of light you prefer and then you can add crown molding to the top of the cabinets and decorate t...

Not most ppl idea of a great vacation but we finshed our goal to get the smart siding and windows in the 1973 Mh we r rebuilding. Like most projects we ran in to some problems and spent more than planned but worth it in the end. We finished replacing the complete floors and then moved ot the ceiling...

I am not sure why you are changing the pitch--this might be too heavy the doule wide was engineered for the roof it has,if you put his on top of it?? and expensive---if you are going to put a metal roof like I did the rain/snow really runs off these roofs and there are many colors to choose from,cho...

Screw it to the ceiling as it only @ 3/16 thick or not sure how heavy but they have the same thing coated white for the bath surround u can use it is more expensive I am thinking 20 not sure--but u use the white nails w them--predrill it or use the rosets w screws like in many MH

In my blog http://myprojects-dcdiva.blogspot.com/ you will see that we used masonite--Lowes 4x8 @ $5 very light weight we painted like drywall- I would use a paint for bathroom use on ceiling I paint all of mine with semi gloss as it is easier to wash, the screw wholes you finish like a drywall scre...

Well due to zoning laws we have no choice--if we took it out then we could not replace w a single wide well nothing could b put back. The MH's r grandfathered in and can stay. We r replacing everything as the walls r 2x2 everywhere but @ the windows 2x3 and we r replacing all the doors and windows u...

Here is my first week of vacation WOOHOO The winter of 2010+4ft of ice/snow on a 1973 MH = collapsed roof/ceiling. The photos r after we jacked up the ceiling,it was below the window! This happened before we put a new roof over the MH, we had stopped working on it before this happend so we could sta...

I am working on my blog for our mh project, I still have to add the bathroom ,laundry and bedroom,we have the finishing touches to do on these room so soon,we start another mh that is next to this one next weekend.

Hi I have many rentals and we run into many smelly things when we rehab a home and I found a wonderful product odorxit.com I am loyal user and highly recommend to anyone with an odor especially pet urine odor--I buy the concentrate and add to water -- we bought a mobile home that the old owners left...

This is happening in many communities--that is why everyone should start with zoning laws before buying,where our 2 mh are located single wides are not allowed but double wides are--ours our grandfathered in but that involves us fixing them up vs replacing with new

Nothing,unless you forget to call before you dig, we ran ours underground but put it into conduit first,that way if we need to add a wire in the future it will be easy,plus we could not dig as deep as needed due to big rocks.

Welcome to the group and mobile home ownership. We have just done many of the things you have questions about,but we went extreme with our mh and gutted it all and rebuilt all,but we plan on keeping the mh for many years,first few years my daughter will live there to goto college and then it will be...

Wow many questions--with metal you do not have to remove the shingle roof so many of your worries are gone, you can add 2x4--that's what we used or furing strips run the lenght of the roof 16 or 24 inches apart,screwed into joices,then attach the metal roof to them. The roof can be ordered to the ex...

I sound like a broken record,opps CD lol but metal is the way to go fixes the leak,many colors but recommend the light colors--they have white,light tan,light grey the energy star is by the ones that are great to reflect the sun, they come in 3 ft wide x the lenght needed-we did ours last summer and...

1) Yes in the underbelly or could have a place in the ground,look around it will problably be an easy to get into spot like where the sewage drains are--look around might be many spots--hope not 2) must get rid of all the nesting and poo/pee--make sure you use a respirator--as they carry many diseas...
