This home is a early 90's model and I have some questions. I have not had it moved to ranch yet, hoping to have it there by end of the month.
Windows- It has cheap single pane/aluminum frame windows. Is there a up grade made for mobile homes or is better off using the normal windows that Home Depot/Lowes offer?
Same question for the front/rear doors?
What kind of wall construction is used on MH? Is it typical 2x4? Other? I think I am going to start in one room and pull sheet rock off and put new insulation in and put sheet rock or other material back in place
It has shingle roof construction and it is missing some shingles. I did not see any indications of a water leak on the interior. I want to put a tin roof on it. I would use 1x4 pine on top of the shingles. Frame it out on the outer perimeter and then 1 or 2 stringers of 1x4 going the length of the roof. I am thinking about using foam board insulation placed between the 1x4 and the cap with tin. I have a bunch of foam board to use. I could go with 2x4 lumber and stack the foam board for better insulation. Any thoughts/ideas on this one?
