Okay prayerfully this will be the last project here. This is still Eugene's house. Like I said before in the first blog. He bought this house and knew it needed a new roof. So, I am back again to replace this wall in his bedroom. Same water damage. The paneling is dried out, and it is falling apart.
I don't think I showed you the plugs that are built into the mobile homes. (1984) The wire is 12 gauge and very heavy wire. This way they can run it thought the whole house and hook up the air conditioner and dryer and whatever is needed down the road. Then look at how the wire just snaps in and the butterflies that hold it into the paneling. No studs to hold the box. The funny part is most of the time the wire is very short and a pain to work with. But all three of these walls there has been plenty of wire to work with.
I just pulled it out to tear out the walls.
This 2x4 is completely shot. I will replace this one.
You can see how heavy this 12-gauge wire really is. The next day I will put in a junction box and run a wire out of it to the outlet.
Where you see gaps in the siding, I will spray foam into them and seal them up.
This is day one. I just wanted to see what I will need and go home and be back the next day.
I installed a new 2x4 and put some sister boards on each 2x4 and any other shots that needed to be reinforced. Then put in brand new insulation and that junction box too. Then ran a wire off for the outlet box.
I did buy another kind of foam spray. It was called Loctite Tite Foam window and door spray foam. Folks this worked so much better. It has adhesion. The funny thing is it really does stick to the wall. You can see how much better it filled in and stayed where I spray it.
Boy this was so much easier I just stapled the insulation in and it stayed right in place. When using old insulation, it falls down and just not that easy to work with. Next job like this I will but new. I really do try to save the customer some money by using old things if I can make them work.
The funny part was I finished this up on Wednesday afternoon. But I forgot to buy a electric outlet and face plate. So, I will need to come back on Thursday.
Oh, when I came back Eugene asked if I could finish putting up the floor molding that he started a while back. Which I did. I forgot to take a real finished job picture. But you can image what it looks like.
Folks I have been so blessed to have small jobs like this and make a few bucks.
That is how OUR LORD PROVIDES FOR US.
Isaih 61;3 To all who mourn in Israel, He will give beauty for ashes, joy instead of mourning, praise instead of despair. For the Lord has planted them like strong and graceful oaks for his own glory.
This is my prayers for New York City.
What amazes me is how Jewish folks live in that city. Google tells me,
"New York City is home to the largest Jewish population outside of Isreal with nearly a million calling the metropolis home."
How can this be to have this guy be the Mayor of New York City????
