Re: electrical wiring problem in 95 Palm Harbor
It sounds like you may have a problem with moisture. My exterior lights are also on a Ground Fault circuit. Many times after a heavy rain I find the GFI breaker tripped.

Re: Leaking Roof
Roof replacement is one of the most costly expenses in home maintenance and so can be very aggravating. The majority of manufactured homes built in the USA include roofs that use a "20 year" grade of shingles. The number of years serves as more a general grade rating than a definite shingl...

Re: French Doors
The short answer is YES..... Some builders offer French Doors as an option. If they don't you can make the replacement after the home is installed.

Re: title issues
When the attorney closed the sale/purchase he should have issued you a title insurance policy on the real-estate. That policy should have some mention of the home permanently affixed to the land, being free and clear of liens. Find the Title Insurance policy and contact the company that issued it. Y...
