1.00At what point do attached additions to a manufactured home make it NOT a manufactured home?
Q.Do additions (structural and attached) eventually change the classification of a manufactured home for refinancing and insurance purposes? At what point does this happen? Our house is no longer what I would consider mobile at all! lol
We are in a very rural setting and the building has been done to code although no inspections were required. The home is a 2003 model. The addition does have foooters and a foundation.
A.It would change when the county inspects it and decides it is no longer a trailer. The odds of that happening are close to zero. How many of those "attachments" even have building permits?
1.00Can i vent my dryer to the water heater in the garage?
Q.I bought a new washer and dryer over the summer and recently noticed some problems with mold in the garage. i did a some research and looking around in my garage, i found out that the installers never installed a vent for the dryer to let the moist air escape the garage.
my question is, is the bigger pipe in the middle of my water heater a vent to the exterior? if so, can i add a T adapter, or whatever you call it, and vent my dryer through there? any and all help is greatly appreciated.
A.No, the dryer need to be vented separately. The water heater vent or flue should not be used for any other purpose.
Doing what you suggest could cause a fire.
Just install a seperate vent for the dryer
1.00Who should I call to have my refrigerator moved from my kitchen to the garage?
Q.I rent, and my new kitchen only has about 3 ft. of counter space. I would like to move the fridge to the garage (just outside of the kitchen), so I can set a stock cabinet/countertop, or a small buffet or something, in the space. Who should I call (once I get approval from the L.L.) to do it safely? Would the landlord's "guy" do it? Call a moving company? a handyman?
Also, there are 5 steps down to the garage.
A.Rent or borrow an appliance dolly and move it yourself.
1.00Garage Door Radiant Heat Sheild Installation???
Q.I live in the Texas, and my Garage Door faces directly south. Of course, my garage gets very HOT, and consequently, this makes it nearly impossible to use for any parctical purpose other than parking the car in there...
So I'm thinking of adding a Radiant Heat Barrier / Sheild to the inside of the garage door, in an effort to prevent heat transfer through the door itself (this would be the first step of a few, towards getting AC into the garage)...
I've searched, and there is NOT much useful information about this on the web.
My question is... considering the above, and the relative low cost of Radiant Heat Barrier insulation at the big box stores, what is the best way to install this...
I see some methods where the Heat Barrier is installed directly INTO each of the sections of the four garage Door Panels, and others methods where the Heat Barrier completely "blankets" the four sections of the whole door, and does not fill the gap in each of the sections.
What's best?
ai do plan on doing this myself.. it's not a big job... and I've already researched for the lowest material price...
So.. when I do install... do I install within the panel (minimal air gap, or as a blanket on the outside of the door?
A.They make kits for this. Call the person who installed your door or any reputable installer.
1.00Need a reasonable handy man who can take down my garage door?
Q.Need a reasonabile handy man who can take down my garage door and put up windows and french doors in PLACE OF THE garage door....it seems like a simple project, I will use a window unit for air and Ill lay indoor out door carpet..i wanted to suprise my husband for his 40th b day with a pool table in our new room..Any Ideas what that would cost and any real contractors who need the work???????
A.Great idea! I can do the windows for you and I have a friend who can do all the other small jobs for you.
1.00What garage flooring / carpeting would be appropriate for my garage?
Q.Hi. I'm trying to pimp up my garage this summer, was wondering what would be a good flooring for it? The room is a game room / sports room....I have a ping pong table, dartboard, tv, sports photos, etc....
So I'm looking for recommendations about which specific flooring or carpeting would be good for it and what store I could pick it up at? Thanks.
edit: Mainly I'm looking for what material for the floor works best in the garage.
A.Cheapest and most durable would be the rubber/foam backed berber off the big rolls at the Home improvement stores. This composite carpet can be laid directly over any subfloor without the need to install a vapor barrier or a carpet pad. The foam backing itself acts as a moisture barrier and carpet pad. It's really easy to DIY.
