First of all make sure your filter and evaporator coil are clean. Is the kids room further away from the furnace than your bedroom? If so, your problem is probably your home's (and all mobile home's in my opinion) poorly designed duct system. I'll try my best to use laymans terms so please bear with me. When they design these homes they dont leave much room for ductwork. so, they make the duct small enough (usually around 12X4 or 10X3 or so) to fit between the floor joists and make the duct one size along the whole length. The proper way to design a trunk duct would be to use the equal friction method where you start out with a large trunk duct close to the furnace and gradually decrease the duct size after every register (or registers) to keep the pressure consistant. This type of duct system doesnt doesnt allow the air pressure to remain consistent along the whole length of the trunk duct so the registers that are furthest away from the air source (fan/furnace) produce less airflow than the registers that are closest. I've seen this quite a few times so im guessing that this is your problem. One way to tell is if the registers that are closest to the furnace are pretty loud and the ones furthest away are pretty quiet. A quick "fix" would be to shut off the registers that are closest to the furnace and try to force air to the furthest ones. The best way (but not the cheapest) would be to trash the factory duct and install a trunk and branch duct system under the house using the equal friction method or to put a supply plenum under the furnace and install a round duct spider system. If my "quick fix" above seems to help a little i would call someone to quote you a new duct system. hope this helps, Good luck

Local ordinances pertaining to mobile homes probably vary more from one location to another than one can even imagine. Some localities are trying hard to eliminate mobile homes. If you contemplate buying a new mobile home, the dealer might be the best source of information. I know you said you work for the government. The person who best knows the regulations for that area might be an inspector who is in the office only a little while in the early morning. Here locally, the person who answers the phone frankly knows only how to answer the phone. When I go in that office, I look deep in her eyes and there is no one at home! If you were considering moving to my area, I would advise getting the ordinances and reading them yourself. For a property here to remain grandfathered for mobile homes, the SELLER must submit within 24 hours of the deed transfer, in writing, a letter notifying the Planning Director of the sale and the BUYER must, within that same 24 hours, register that property for mobile home use with the Planning Director. Obviously that means personal hand delivery. This is in addition to the normal recording of the property deed. Even the best local real estate attorney did not know of this regulation until I told him. He told me this would be easy to defeat in court- but he did not say it would be low cost. And the local "Commissars" are counting on that to forestall any challenges. They also have some regulations on mobile homes that permit "unbridled/unfettered discretion" on the part of the enforcement officer. Many court precedents have ruled such to be unconstitutional, but it costs a lot to mount a challenge. Here, I do not trust the Planning Director to be forthright about these ordinances. I asked him if a public housing unit would be built to house the folks forced out of mobile homes (that they paid for)- he just had a blank stare. I am not an attorney, but I review the work of my attorney carefully.

The nails will go through the paneling, you just need to pound harder and/or maybe for longer. They go through easier if you are actually on a stud :) We live in a mobile home that's about 20 years old, with wallboard but I know what you're talking about. The other solution is if the item is heavier, buy the wall anchors for hollow walls. You drill a hole the size of the anchor, tap the anchor in and screw a screw into the anchor. Whatever you hang on the wall will stay without the nail sagging and dropping it to the floor.

The citrus plants are responding well so far since being transplanted in the gritty mix. I have given each one a few showers with the hose. I gave them some vinegar mixed in with a gallon of water for each one. And I took off the tape and loosened the ties since this picture was taken. I am already planning what to order next time around, when the citrus I want become available again. ♡
