(Page 1)2. Eric,
Love your show! You crack me up! The sarcasm kills me, I'm laughing all by myself- my husband is working. I'd love for you to come and help but I don't know where to start sooooo many projects.

3. Eric, Love your program. My honey do list with my honey,well he can't do it because he is disabled. My question is I live in a mobile home with dry wall. But, I want to hang a fan with lights over my dining room table. The one I picked out ( handy man said it was too heavy for the plastic box)!! Ok why can't I install
a metal box?? I just can't believe this can't be done. I'll do it myself. Thanks for any help at all. Evie

4. The downstairs basement of a two story home we have needs work and the bathroom needs a shower buff, as well. Could you help with the instructions on this. It is quite unusual it has a 3 1/2 inch concrete guild that could be made easier by insertion of a stall liner with linea. Thanking you so much in advance.

5. Eric did change my way of thinking about construction. But, I still everything I do is over my head. Keep that great attitude.

6. Eric, I love watching you on TV. I live in a space that says nothing about who I am as a person or what I love about life or what I am passionate about. I have a question, why do they never show how to do things in mobil homes? I used to live in a home till my daughter passed away in August of 2004, and my home was sold out from under me. She, Debra, was 27 when she passed and I am disabled but have some know how about projects on a home. I used to tell her how to do things, then she would do them and I thought we did pretty good as a team together. I miss her to bottom of my soul. I now live in a 1964 mobile home, which is mine, so I can re do things. I have many questions but I will try to just pick out the most important ones. Insulation here is a BIG problem, you might as well say I have none, the codes back then were a joke and what they did put in has disintergrated and most likely just sitting at the bottom of my walls. It is very cold in here. My wall, all of my walls are a very boring light tan fake wood grain paneling and the outside is metal. I would love to find a way to stay warm and cool here and be ablle to buy food at the same time. I also am a very colorful person and all this tan is driving me crazy, is there a way to paint this cheap paneling? I do have some color, the 1964 pink tub and sink in my master bath and the blue sink and toliet in the main bath. Oh yes and the matching pink shiny stuff they used on the counter. I am sorry if I sound like I am complaining but my life has been turned upside down, it is just me and my dog Sassy and I am in a wheel chair. I would love to have some bright color in here, the carpet is dark blue so looks almost black. The kitchen and bathroom floors are a red and orange right out of the sixties. Everthing in here is original to the mobile home except for a kitchen light and dining room light I had put in when I first moved in here almost three years ago. I also had to put up curtians in the living room and dining room as there were none when I moved in. I picked a light beigh with a touch of light brown so they would go with any color. I have no curtians in either bedrooms or bath rooms or kitchen. I know you probally will never even get to read this, but help! I am drowning in dull or strange colors. Enjoy life and your loved ones, they can be gone in a blink of an eye. If you do read this, thank you for listening to an old lady complain. Oh one more thing, if you do paint the paneling, is there anyway to get rid of those things that hold the paneling up? I really dislike the way they look, they seem to shout "Look I am cheap paneling!" Even the ceilings are the same.
Take Care,
Patricia

1. Eric....I have wallpapered for years and you will be in deep do-do if you don't run an actual plumb line instead of using window frame for a starting point!!! Shortcuts in doing this will add to your misery instead of pleasure at the end of the project!!!
