Thank you for the help. I'll have to do some practicing to get a better hang of it.

Hello I have a question for the forum. Can someone tell me the best way to cut laminate flooring? What works for you? I'm not the best at cutting perfect straight lines and accurate length with a circular saw. I was thinking of either using a jig saw or some type of hand saw. I would of course be us...

thank you I'll do that

Thanks JD it helped a bunch. I'm just in the planning phase right now. When I start I'll take it slow and easy

I guess the wire is from an electical outlet laying on the ground. It's coming out of the fuse box laying on the ground. The electrical outlet is on the end of the wire. No one responded,sorry if I was asking the wrong things. I'm just new at underbelly work. It's something new for me. I've done sub...

Got a few more questions for the forum. I know the insulation can't be between the joist. Can they touch the joist or much they hang lower so they don't touch? 2 electrical wiries are hanging on the ground under the home. Now to me this dosen't seem normal. Should it be stapled to the floor joist up...

Thanks for your help

My underbelly is in horrible shape, it has buffalo board on it. The previous owner stuck sheets of particle board between the steel frame members to hold it up. The particle board is really sagging. Since the center is in such bad shape i was thinking of starting all over with new material. I realiz...

Thanks everyone I didn't think they could do this

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this wasn't sure. Does anyone know if it's illegal for a park to deny a person the right to own a service dog because the dog goes over their weight limit? I would think it would be illegal. To me it be no different then an apartment denying a blind or deaf p...

Thanks for everyone's help

I feel better about how to complete this now. If I have any more questions i'll be back.

Let me make sure I got this right. Basically you removed the ceiling panels, nailed up 2 faced bubble foil and installed ceiling tiles over the foil is that correct? If It is that does sound alot simplier. So no vapor barrier is needed with bubble foil?



Thanks for your idea

Hi JD The previous owner tried screwing a smoke detector up on that thin ceiling board. There is a hole the size of a fist there so I can see the insulation up there. It's yellow and the vapor barrier is on the bottom or the warm side. The home was originally made in minnesota so maybe I'll stick to...

Is there anything special that needs to be done around light fixtures so not to damage them? Could I use "faced" insulation in a mobile home? I think I read faced has a built in vapor barrier. Sorry for all the questions. Never done anything like this before. Dosen't mean it can't be done ...

If I was to add insulation to my ceiling could I reuse the ceiling panels if I can remove them with out damaging them? They are stapled on and the trim covering the seams are nailed on

What are your thoughts?
