Modular Home Skirting Ideas; Cheap, Creative Unique - We have another lead on a mobile home that just recently took back Um so we're actually going out and taking a look at it. So this is the laundry area over here, um we have some interesting jimmy rigging of the electrical taking place as you can see it will follow along over to hear. Um cabinets down below less than desirable. Somebody's lets cut a hole in the wall and put the toilet in there. Obviously you know there's some issues there. The tub surround not too bad but this is wet. You see the moisture here and bowing down. So there's been there's some leaking currently in this area. In fact all this stuff right here has already been redone. Somebody has already gone in and re-drywalled that. So some of this stuff has already been taken care of. Um, I bet... ya this is some movement probably some issues back behind there. This is peel and stick tiles that somebody put on drywall so, there's some issues. Flooring obviously needs to be redone as well. Um we'll go ahead and take a look at the rest of the home.


Furnace is a newer furnace used alternative mobile home skirting ideas is not brand spankin new but this is a 1969 trailer so there are um it has been updated within the last little bit um above your head you can see there is bowing in the ceiling taking place all the way back so we've got some serious leaking it's actually still wet right now so it is an active leak, it's not an old leak and typically also to come out the water. The water will come out of the light fixture. As you can see look at the roof, I mean the roof has bowed like crazy all over so there is moisture.

Simple Designs for Landscaping Your Mobile Home

Simple Designs for Landscaping Your Mobile Home - If you want to spend more time enjoying your garden than working in it, then you need a low maintenance garden. Hi, I'm William Moss and I wanna give you six tips on how to plant a garden that will save you time and look great. Tip one: Plant perennials. Plants like day lilies, peonies and daisies come back year after year. That means you don't have to get down on your knees every spring and re-plant the garden. You buy once and enjoy for many years. Tip two: Choose waterwise plants. Landscaping that's designed to conserve water is called zeroscaping. By grouping plants together with similar watering needs and focusing on plants that don't require as much moisture, you use less water. Waterwise plants include cone flowers, day lilies, ornamental grasses and butterfly weeds. Look for the waterwise symbol on your plant tags. This means that the plants require less moisture to grow and maintain. Which means they're perfect for areas that are drought prone or water restricted.


Tip three: double wide mobile home landscaping go native. No matter where you live there are plants adapted to your weather and your soil. They're called natives. For example, if you live in an area that used to be prairie then prairie natives like cone flower and this butterfly weed will work well in your garden. Ask your Lowe's garden center expert which natives work best in your area, they're easy adapters. Tip four: Mulch. Mulch retains soil moisture, it stops weeds, it prevents erosion, and as it breaks down it releases nutrients into the soil. And as a bonus mulch also makes the garden look neat and tidy. Tip five: Group plants together with similar needs For instance, hosta and begonia both like it moist in shady.

So rather than combining them with plants that may like it dry or sunnier, that way I can water only where the plants need it landscaping a mobile home lot . Tip Six: Drip irrigation system is an easy way to water your plants without having to lug around watering cans or hoses. Drip irrigation systems link up to your watering hose and they lay on the ground and deliver water to the plants that need it when they need it so you don't have water coming from above and landing the foliage which can evaporate away or cause foliage diseases. Drip irrigation systems are easy to install and you can even hook them up to a timer to make the job even simpler. If you love your garden but are short on time these low maintenance tips will help you stay ahead of the curve.

Deck Plans for a Mobile Home : Completely Free

Deck Plans for a Mobile Home : Completely Free - We're here to show you today how to build a mini ramp. And we're going to be building one that's 4 feet high and 12 feet wide. You want to have a good hammer to start out with. You can find all these tools at Home Depot or Lowes. An impact drill is going to be key, especially if you're drilling the ramps together. You're also going to want to have a jigsaw for cutting the transitions. Also, very important is to have your Skilsaw because you're going to cut a lot of 2x4s when you're building a mini ramp, so you definitely are going to need one of these. Also very key is a tape measure. You want to have a good assortment of drill bits. This is a level. You want to be on the level when you're building, so that's really important. What this is called is a chalk line. And the chalk line is used so that when you put your 2x4s in later in the building process you'll be able to see where they are under the plywood. It's good to have a pretty heavy duty pencil. I got this one from Team Pain. But you're going to be writing on wood, so a standard pencil isn't good. This is a carpenters pencil.


Next up, deck kits for mobile homes your actual wood supplies. So whether you're building a 12-foot-wide ramp or a 24-foot-wide ramp, you're generally going to use plywood and 2x4s for your most standard ramps. Our ramp we're going to build in an 8-foot section and a 4-foot section and combine the two later. So right here we had to measure the length of the 2x4s along with the transitions. So it's really important that your 2x4 goes to the transition, and the distance between the two is 8 feet or 4 feet, depending on the sections that you're going to build. A lot of people, they'll use string and a pencil and try to run it from one end to the other and come up with a nice circumference, but that's actually not the best way to do it. I'm going to introduce you to Curtis here. Curtis is getting ready to build a transition right now.

On this particular ramp, deck on mobile home we're going to do a 7-foot transition. So put one screw in the middle at 7 feet. So this whole 2x4 is going to pivot at that point. Drill a hole, the pencil's going to fit right in there. And so you started out at 3 and 1/2 inches, that's the height of the 2x4 that's going to be at the bottom. Mark it out, get your pencil in there, and then you just drag it along. It just pivots nice and perfect, yeah. You've got a perfect tranny. There you go. It's about to drop. To save yourself some money, just flip it on to the other side and then you would trace over it. So the next step in building a ramp, you're going to want to mark the transitions. The standard is usually every 8 inches, but since we're doing this as a temporary ramp, we're going to do it every foot. So you're going to start out with the bottom one. You want to make sure that these are level. When you go to put in, that this is flush with this. Anytime you're going to put in a 2x4 into plywood, you want at least two screws.

How to Build DIY Mobile Home Deck and Attach

DIY Mobile Home Deck | How to Build and Attach - So you just slide the spindles that's what I call them up into the holes and this takes practice like anything. Then you push it all together. Be careful and lift up the railing because it will all come apart real easy if you are not careful. You have sleeves, rail sleeves that go on the top and the bottom and then it screws into the post sleeve and there are stainless steel screws that are used to put this together, get on there. Just be very careful all the time. Now it's very essential that you have your drill and your screws handy so you don't have to go and find them. Once you get a couple of screws in you are on your way. You have to make sure the height of the railings match up or it will look really crappy. See, that is not the right height. That's essentially it, just put your screws in and watch out for your gloves if you have any because they can really get wrapped up in here.


Adding deck to mobile home i have been building and selling this particular style bench for about 4 years now and you can build one too. You can build some to make money or simply build a couple for your own yard. It features a comfortable 15 degree back and 15 degree legs. In the link below you will find a full tutorial as well as a free set of plans. To build this bench you will need eight 8' 2x4s, about a pound of 2-1/2" outdoor screws, and some 2-1/2" outdoor pocket hole screws if you want to secure the slats from below. To start cut all of your pieces according to the cutting diagram. You can use any type of saw for this. A jigsaw, circular saw, hand saw, or in my case a miter saw. Before you begin assembly arrange all of your pieces so that the good side is down. Next use the pocket hole schedule to drill all of your pocket holes. This is how we will attach the seat and back slats to give a nice clean look. If you do not have a pocket hole jig you can simply attach the slats from above with regular outdoor screws. When putting your leg assemblies together you will form a parallelogram where the pieces intersect. It is important to put the two screws along the long diagonal of this parallelogram and not the short diagonal. This will do a better job at preventing movement. Use glue and two screws at each intersection.

To make assembly easier I designed this so that you can use a scrap piece of 2x4 to space the horizontal members apart. The back support is attached to both horizontal pieces of the leg assemblies. It intersects the top back corner and is flush with the bottom of the lower horizontal member. Again, attaching deck to mobile home use glue and two screws along the long diagonal of each intersecting parallelogram. You also need to make sure that the angle of both back supports is the same. To do so secure the second back support with just one screw. Place both assemblies together on the ground and make any adjustments needed. Then finish securing the second back support. Use the 40" board to connect both leg assemblies at the base of the back supports. If you used pocket holes make sure that you attach it with the pocket holes in the back. If not you can simply screw from the front of it into each of the back supports. Attach the back seat slat first using glue and screws. If you used pocket holes you will probably need an extension for your drill for this first seat slat only. If you did not use pocket holes you can simply screw from the top with two outdoor screws on each side. The spacing in between slats is 1/4". You can use a 1/4" drill bit or a standard wood pencil. I always space the first back slat slightly more than 1/4" above the seat slats. For this I use a regular Sharpee marker which is about 1/2". To me it just looks a little bit better. Again use glue and screws with regular 1/4" spacing for the rest of the back slats. So that's it. An easy bench design that is pretty strong and pretty comfortable. I hope you can make one or two and possibly make a few extra dollars by selling some.

Super Easy Steps with Mobile Home Decks and Stairs

Mobile Home Decks and Stairs with Super Easy Steps - So this is a multi-layer step. It looks like they've just been adding to it over and over again. Here's a top layer here, this is the riser, these are the plates, and they are all screwed in, and they're, they've got a nice deck coat on them, So they sort of adhere to each other at the backs, and then you can see there was another layer, with a carpet piece on it, and then there is a wood layer, a three two by four underneath. And that's all been filled out, with various methods to make it work. So there is actually like two and a half inches, or three inches of step everywhere. Two and a quarter inches of step. So, that's what we've got to cut off, it's all screwed, so that makes it really hard to pull it apart, so we won't be able to do that, we'll have to cut through, and then take it off all at once. That's probably the best way. Anyway, that's what we get, the kind of jobs we get. So, we've taken the top layer off of this thing, and we're starting to build in steps as we go. So, it works out to a nice twelve inch step, which is a two by four, and a ripped, two two by fours and a ripped two by six. This one is just temporary here, but I like to have just a little bit of a, not a very big gap, so ladies don't catch their heels, that step is not finished there but this is, and it's working out pretty nice.


The steps are twelve inches, deck photos for mobile homes which is really nice, and they have a kick on them now, which makes for better climbing ability. So tomorrow, we'll take those off, and get it at least done down to there, I guess. I hope. Now we've got the steps all stripped, and here's putting them back together, so we've added spacers in there, to get it at the right height. and some little bits of flashing, to keep the water off these old stringers. The stringers are a little bit older, but they seem in good shape to me. We've put Thompson's on the stringers, filled up all those old nail holes with Thompson's, so they didn't soak water, and put the flashing over top, and then the spacer on top of that. To get it back up to the same height, because there was so many layers on it.Beaconsfield Inn. We've got the bottom step in, and it's nice and solid, we haven't done the landing yet, but we've got this, this major step in too. And this wood is very non-slippery.

I guess it would be slippery with ice, mobile home deck awnings but so would anything, yeah. Looks really good. And we'll finish that landing off on Monday, I guess. It's supposed to be a, the rain's supposed to be over on Monday for three days of niceness. So, here we are removing the landing. It's got two layers of heavy plywood on it, like this. I guess I don't know if you can even see that. There. And it was screwed, double screwed everywhere, so we need our big, big tools, our World of Warcraft tools. Ha ha ha. What do you call them? The multi-axe there. The curve axe? Yeah. We could call this one milner. Milner. Okay. Ha ha ha. That's the World of Warcraft name for that. And the big brute is always the big brute. Brutus. So, we've got the steps done, we're just doing the landing now, and we got a nice day to finish that.

Back & Front Ideas- Mobile Home Deck Designs

Back & Front Ideas- Mobile Home Deck Designs - Today's show is all about front gardens, and well front yards for our American viewers. I will show you lots of ideas that hopefully inspire you to completely transform your front garden. Welcome to the Garden Design show! It's my mission to demystify design to make it easier for you to create your dream garden. Properly planning your garden is as vital as properly planning your home. I am Rachel Mathews and I've been a professional, international garden designer for over twenty years. I am also a best selling author and I teach garden design online. And we'll also be visiting inspiring gardens around Europe and beyond and give you plenty of ideas for your garden. Now this week's episode has come about thanks to Roger. A few weeks back he asked me to focus on front yards and entrances, so that's what we're going to do today. Now I divide front gardens into two different types, there is the purely decorative ones, that frame the front house and there is the more functional front garden that needs to incorporate a drive and other practical considerations, like a garage and perhaps a bin storage area. When it comes to designing a front garden, I have some golden rules and my first one is and this applies particularly to gardens where you need to incorporate a drive.


First and foremost you must view it as a garden. So if you didn't have to incorporate the drive or any practical solution, what is it that you, deck ideas for mobile home how would you design that garden? Then once I've made it all pretty, I then go back and rework it to put in the practical solutions of the drive or bin area, etc. Doing this way around, enables you to create much more creative and interesting gardens for the front. So I'll now show you exactly what I mean with a selection of front gardens that I've done and also I've been a little bit cheeky and I've gone around filming some gardens that I've come across. So this probably about the most unexciting front garden that you ever wish to inherit. Just tarmac and and you know there is no place to put plants and actually you can't even tell which is the front door. Your eye is drawn towards the green one, but that isn't the front at all so this one was really confusing for visitors. So what we did, we got rid of that awful tarmac and put down quite of a nice block paver, but also separated the areas off with a trellis and you'll notice over to the right there is a big curve, a circle of gravel- now that's an additional car parking space, so we cut down on the cost of the build it wasn't all brick pavers, but also that's going to have plants in it. It's going to look quite pretty as well. And then if we look through the trellis area, then suddenly, because we've angled it, you can see exactly where the front door is. So there is no confusion. And then the planting overtime, especially the climbers have grown up, will help soften this area and make it much, much prettier.

Now this one is bit of a building site, on this conversion. Now they were putting a bit of a modern frontage to it. And it was quite a difference in levels by the time they were finished. What we done with the steps, in making them come all the way across, mobile home deck designs really helps link the front of the house with the rest of the garden and as you can see this is what their view was before we landscaped. So just a drive running down the side and then the view of the sea beyond. So then by putting this deck in same level as the house, and then the plants in the round border there, that just tied in the house with the garden. All the modern landscaping with the surrounding area. And then at the front of it, there is additional car parking space. Again this gravel area was going to have lots of ground cover like Alchemilla Mollis thymes and things that could take the occasional drive over just to soften that landscaping. But your front garden doesn't have to be fancy. Now this is quite a typical one that's got a bit overgrown and the lawn has ended up being a bit of an odd shape every time. They've edged it. So this one is a very simple makeover. What we did was to incorporate a very simple shape that worked well with the house, and you'll notice it's almost the same shape as the trellis, the end of the garden there. So it all kind of tied in and you know nothing incredibly fancy. It's just neat and tidy, but having that one dominant shape really brings that to front garden together. And this is the view from the other end. As you can see it was pretty dismal with the weird shape of lawn. And they just pushing it out the other way with that curve, suddenly makes the area look so much bigger.

Modular Home Deck Ideas: Out of box Designs

Modular Home Deck Ideas: Out of box Designs - It's that time of year. The food, the presents, the mistletoe and this year, you're determined to have the best Christmas lights on the block. Here are some easy tricks to get the house looking merry and bright. Before you even start, it's best to take a step back and develop an overall game plan. Start by identifying a focal point for the lights. Next, measure any straight line you want to adorn with lights. This will help you figure out how many strands you'll need. Also measure the distance to the power source. The last thing you want is beautiful light display and no way to turn it on. If you want your house to be seen from space, you'll need to stagger two sets of lights side-by-side, or look for lights that are spaced closer together. Denser lights, equal brighter lights. For mounting, forget your previous methods involving staples, clothespins, and duct tape.


This year, light clips are your new best friends Lowe's has a light clip for every surface Now for the big question: how many lights can you string together? Turns out, most LEDs can connect up to 25 strands, whereas incandescent lights may only be able to connect 3 to 6 deck for modular home . Believe it or not white lights are not all the same color. LED lights typically have a bluish tint, whereas incandescent bulbs are slightly orange. Hang them side-by-side and they will look mismatched. There are tons of different light types and colors. Just make sure to group the same light-type together. So now that the prep is done, its time to test your lights. Do this on the ground, since the last place you want to find out your lights aren't working is on top of a ladder in the cold. Go ahead and attach the light clips at this point and make sure they're the lights are all running in the same direction.
 
Deck house modular homes now you need to work from the ground up: Bushes: Try using net lights. They are like a blanket of lights. Simply lay them on the bushes and you're done. Trees: When hanging lights in a tree, try using a hanging pole. They're also great for hard to reach areas or if you just don't want to climb a ladder. Windows, Doors & Railings: Deck Clips easily roll onto railings to hold lights securely without damage.Step back as you go and make sure everything is shaping up the way you want it. Attach lights to the gutters, by using an all-purpose light clip. They can connect to the strand or directly to the bulb. This would be a perfect place for those icicle lights! Now that the lights are up, plug them into an outdoor timer to save energy. Some even have light sensors that automatically turn on at dusk. That's it! Time to flip the switch and admire your work!

These new innovations can also afford your children some protection from the sun when playing outside without sacrificing the visual appeal of your home.

Exterior window shades are also great at helping to regulate the temperatures inside your home.

This is due to the fact that the shade partially blocks some of the major wooden roll up shades for windows "hot-spot temperature leakage areas" that cause increased electricity usage. If you've look for window shades in the past but were worried about installing them yourself, there is no longer a need to be concerned. Exterior window shades from SignGrafx are extremely easy to install and can go up in less than a day. In fact we've created an instructional video to show you exactly how easy it is!

Now you can enjoy the beauty of your backyard, have a stylish decor item for your home, and alleviate some of the strain on your air-conditioning unit all with the convenience of exterior window shades from SignGrafx.

I noticed that my kids weren't coming out and using the pool until the evening when we got some shade. And, I just thought what a shame it is to have a lovely pool and not be using it until the evening, when they could be spending all this great time in the summer exercising and having fun together out here. So I just kept thinking woven wood shades for arched windows "I wish there was a way I could get some shade out here." Actually, I saw an ad I think in Hometown Values. So, I went online and combed the website. I was really impressed with the examples of the pergolas that I saw I noticed that they don't use a lot of metal parts. They try to use mostly wood on top of wood so that when it expands and contracts with the weather that it's a really solidified piece. I also noticed that their warranty was really, really exceptional. As I studied maybe like the dovetail way that they fit pieces together, which is I guess is a patented design. I could just tell that they take real pride in their work, and that they're trying to build a pergola that will last for a long time. That's why they're willing to give such a long term warranty. So, I was really impressed with that. And so I called Western Timber, and Tyler came out. He studied out the situation and showed me what my options were, in order to get some shade. And, one thing I liked is I might have been willing to cover the entire pool which would have been a huge pergola But, Tyler said "Why don't we just start with one section, and see how you like it. You can always build more." They built it in a way that we can do a phase two if I want to, but they weren't really pushy It was clear that he was just trying to help me meet our goals. A lot of pergolas that are held together with a lot of bolts and screws, over time, will get weak and wobbly with the seasonal expansion and contraction So, I'm counting on this to last for at least 25 years, and I think that's what the warranty is Yeah, I would definitely recommend it because I think it's a great product.

Wood Fence Ideas for Front Yard

Wood Fence Ideas for Front Yard - In this video we're going to go through the steps involved in building a timber fence. In this particular instance, it's a low decorative fence around a frog pond, but the steps involved are still basically the same as the picket fence you would see in front of most houses today. The steps involved in our fence are marking out and the installing of our posts. Next go our timber rails, which are the horizontal pieces. And then of course, our timber pickets on top of that. The tools and materials we'll be using today are a nail gun, a powered circular saw, our tape measure, chisel for the timber posts, a hammer, string line, a carpenter square, some clamps to help us hold the timber. And our safety equipment we'll be using will be a pair of gloves to help us when we're handling the timber, safety glasses, and ear protection. The materials are treated pine rails and treated pine decking that I'm using for the pickets.


We've got a hundred millimeter by a hundred millimeter posts. I've also got some timber preservative to use on our cut sections of our treated pine. Before building any fence, just have a chat with your local council. That will give you some ideas on how high your fence is allowed to be  front yard wooden fence designs. That will also let you know how far from you boundaries it should be. And that will also help you out with how deep your holes will need to be when you do put your posts in. The first step to do is to mark out where our posts are going to be. Dig our holes. Concrete our posts in. Make sure to use a level to keep the posts nice and vertical and of course a string line to keep them all in a straight line. Once our posts are in and our concrete is set, a good idea is to leave the concrete to set overnight so it's nice and strong. What we need to do now is mark out all our posts. We want to mark them for the height that we want them to be and I'll use the corner post to do this. I've already measured the height of my first corner post and also transferred that measurement, or duplicated that measurement on the other post. Then I've run a string line across those two marks so that that same height is also on my center post.

Next step after that is to mark out where I want to put my rails. The number of rails and the distance between your rails will be determined by the size of your fence. In this instance, wood fences in front yards we're putting two rails in. So I'll mark down from the top where I want my first rail. Make sure that that measurement is the same on all my posts. And then I will mark down to where I want my lower post, and again, making sure that that measurement is identical to all my posts. Now we're ready to cut our rebates for our rails. Of course I've got my safety gear, ear protection, eye protection, and another big safety items is our electrical cord for our power tools. You don't want to cut through your electrical cord while you're doing this, of course. So I've actually got this around my shoulder to keep it up out of the way of the saw itself. I've also set the blade of the saw to the depth of the rails, in this case, 35 millimeters. And I'm going to run a series of cuts through the posts and then actually just knock them out with a hammer. Then clean it up with a chisel. That will give me a nice clean rebate. Nice and quick and nice and easy.
