Re: Porch door leaking intio California room
Oh no my windows are GRADEA++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++. The old vinyl crap was out there for over 20 years, leaked like a sieve. These windows were put in June of 2007 with all new frames, cost me 5,000 for 13 windows, but man are they nice! The CA room was added on way before I purchased it in...

Re: Porch door leaking intio California room

Squeaky Panel wall~Help me please!
My mobilehome is all paneling, and I have noticed right behind my head(where I lay in bed) that it squeaks. I have No head board so I have king pillows along there and my regular pillows in front. It kind of feels hollow when I press on that part of the paneling. Ok, so it couldn't squeak somewhere ...

Re: 1972 Universal Kitchen Door! Help ME
Thanks JD Yes one of my friend's husband thought some of screws had come loose or come out. I guess we'll have to move the stairs, because there is NO way you can see the bottom of the door, where I know the last 2 screws came out of us, unless your underneath looking up and yes the door does swing ...
