Re: Painting Shutters

Norm, Thanks for the info. I looked at them but I'm on a really tight budget and they are more then I can spend for the size I need.

Re: cracks in ceiling

RE: Greg, Yes, they are just hair line cracks. You have to look really close to see them. I'm going to have someone come in and paint the ceiling and try to not worry about them. I'm the type of person that if something isn't done perfect I redo it. Once took me 5 or 6 times to lay flooring before i...

Re: cracks in ceiling

Re: pounch,
Maybe I can get a friend to help with leveling, there aren't any companies near me that I could contact. I have already checked, even stopped at a MH sales office in the nearest town that has more then we do here. Nearest big city is Nashville area and that is over 2 hrs. away.
Thanks

Re: cracks in ceiling

Re: Greg,

Thanks

Re: cracks in ceiling

Re: Greg, Thks, I know you don't discriminate, that is one of the reason I like this site. I have already done some improvement in my home. In the master bath and bedroom I have taken the wood strips off, taped and mudded seams, put up paintable wallpaper, painted and put molding around floors, door...

Re: cracks in ceiling

Re: ponch37300.
I think painting it will fill in the cracks, they are only hair line cracks. Going to see if I can find someone to paint the ceiling for me. I'm going to be putting it on the market very soon and just trying to fix it up some.
