This started out as a project where I’d move in and fix the place up and rent it out, but now I’m really liking the fact that I have no neighbors, received a fine Catahoula pup that someone dropped off a few months ago and a few outdoor kitties for snakes and mice. Plus…the major plus is that I have a back yard that is way more than 50 yards long…plenty of target practice!!
Last week, I was able to get the skirting on, got the place leveled and what a difference it made. It dressed it up a lot. I also got all of the trash hauled off from the last renter who left his broken down hot tub in the back yard and other sundry items. I also got an estimate on a 10x12 uncovered deck with one set of stairs for the front. He quoted me $1900…not sure but think I might get two other quotes.
Moving right along to the interior of the home and this is where I was hoping to get some advice from fellow TBHers: Painting the inside walls. This is a tough one. The walls are those paneled walls and a couple of people have told me that you can just apply primer first and then paint, and that the wallpapered-panel won’t show through. Has anyone done this? I have looked online for mobile home painting, but not a lot of information is out there. Has anyone done this? Any recommendations, feedback, suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
