Hi, it's been a while since I've been on here. I have a lot of rust on the frame like flaking in some areas. And even a layer of brown rust on the concrete under the frame. Under my house, everything is well vented but I guess it's just really humid around here. I'm thinking the frame seems to be pretty thick and it's not going to collapse or anything but I wanted to get your thoughts. Very happy with my skyline, some other cosmetic issues like cracks in the ceiling, and cracks on marriage line and corners on one end of the house ( i'd love to use fake log cabin paneling in there), and a hump on the floor in the living room. It is on a concrete slab that is level however.

If it's just surface rust I wouldn't worry about it. You could coat it rust converter to stop it. If you are having floor issues I would check for level with a water level.

Remember weight is always an issue when adding things to walls, roofs & ceilings so plan accordingly.
