[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 574533, member: 1514"] Oh I wanted to tell you, that size mobile home is huge for a singlewide. Really it is. I raised 2 (sometimes 3) boys in one that size for years. It will be plenty big for you. If I had my druthers, I would go down to one that size in a heartbeat. Much easier to take care of than this monstrosity. I have too much home. I have two of your new home put side to side...lol. Can you imagine? Its just way too big for me now. I did need it when I got it though because I had to have all the bedrooms when I brought my mom up to live with us. When you decide to get rid of the carpet, save up for laminate wood and you can get it really cheap on sale and put it down in just the rooms you decide. The living room will be small enough to do first for just a few bucks. Im sure the kitchen is already vinyl. If that is in good shape I would leave it. Just laminate the living room and hallway and then think about carpet squares for the bedrooms. That would be the cheapest way to change out the green carpet. Can you tell I have been thinking about rehab for the past several years? Its gonna take me a bunch more money. LOL. Oh and one thing. Mobile home fixtures are different than normal house ones. You do have to buy them at a mobile home store. Like you cant buy a new front door at Lowes. It has to be made for a Mobile Home. I will warn you that it wont be as air tight as a normal house so pick up some of those special plastic storm windows you can get at the hardware stores and put on the windows and tape them up and use a hair dryer to make them tight. If you ask somewhere like Lowes or Home depot they will know what you are talking about. That will keep air out. If you do have screens on the windows, take care of them like gold.
