Not sure I would have caught that. Good move shoring that up, I imagine there is a lot of weight on those shelves. <br /><br />Clever use for that dead space behind the door!<br />Country Mannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-54226081237801360142021-02-17T22:39:41.102-08:002021-02-17T22:39:41.102-08:00Wow - and I agree with "Prepared Grammy"...Wow - and I agree with "Prepared Grammy" - better a large pantry than a fancy bathroom!NancyLEEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04551905622924172067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-71987752107239528502021-02-16T21:51:41.728-08:002021-02-16T21:51:41.728-08:00Actually, that is an interior wall between the liv...Actually, that is an interior wall between the living room and a bedroom. No insulation was present or needed. At the very end of the pantry you might have noticed a bit of insulation showing. That's where the wall transitions from an interior to an exterior wall. That insulation was left in place and resealed. <br /><br />I removed the interior sheathing because I knew that most interior non-bearing walls in manufactured homes are made with studs with considerably smaller dimensions than those used in stick-built homes. In this case, the studs were 1" x 2 1/4". Because I wanted stronger studs to support the load, I "sistered" a standard 2x4 to each of the thinner original studs. This meant that I had much stronger composite studs for the shelf supports and it also meant that the studs stood an inch and a quarter further out, so that I was able to make enough room for Patrice's buckets on the floor without having to make the shelves above wider than the standard 1 x 12 pine boards I had on hand.Donhttp://www.rural-revolution.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-16466676985987021342021-02-16T13:35:25.967-08:002021-02-16T13:35:25.967-08:00I would rather have a large pantry than a large, f...I would rather have a large pantry than a large, fancy, spa-like bathroom.

Although he is now 87 and such, would be a big job, for him, now. -smile-<br /><br />so we have to live with put together shelving, in our bedroom! And our small pantry. <br /><br />Which is fine! Having a "deep pantry," is more important, than how the bedroom "looks."

The batts are held in place with belly wrap. Whoever put the place in also poured a realllly good concrete foundation, pretty obviously installed french drains on the out side and actually covered the interior ground with heavy mil ground cloth. They also put in heavy wire cables anchoring the steel frame to the concrete. Doing all of this allows the house (for insurance and financing purposes) to be classified as "real" property rather than just personal property. Good place and pretty well built for a 90's manufactured home.
