siding a double wide mobile home?

Saturday, September 29th, 2007
kathyannage asked:


we have purchased a double wide mobile home with the old steel siding. we have to replace all the windows in the home, so we are looking at what would be inexspensive to replace the siding. I dont really want vinyl because its out in the country and wanted it to be natural looking, thinking about a green steel roof. It has a 10 inch overhang on the roof, would it be wise to put furring strips horizionaly and maybe put 1 x 12 or 10 pine boards with strips on the gaps, we cant afford to put log siding. Any other ideas that arent costly?

you take the natural log of both sides, and you are left with x+7=x, which leaves 7=0, which is not defined. is that correct?

Can you safely paint vinyl siding a shade darker than its original color?

Sunday, September 16th, 2007
ncscigirl asked:


I have to paint a storage building that is sided with white vinyl siding, to a light/medium shade of gray to match our new homes vinyl siding. I have seen a warning on some of the paints I am considering using that you shouldn’t paint vinyl darker than the original color, only lighter. It says it can warp the vinyl due to heat absorption. Does anyone know how true this is? Is it only for really dark shades of paints?

Thank you in advance.

mold on vinyl siding?

Wednesday, September 12th, 2007
abitawm asked:


I am noticing dark specs on my vinyl siding. There are very many small specs(circular) close together. They are dark in color but very light in pigment if that make since. You can’t see them unless you get close to the siding. I pulled some of the siding back and there is nothing on the interior. It is all on the exterior. I have been looking online for pictures of mold but everthing I see online is very dark comparted to what I see on mine. It looked like it was just dirty to start with but now I can tell it is not just dirt. Does this look like mold? or something else?
Actualy, now that you say that it is only on one side of the house
We also had record amounts of rain this summer in San Antonio
