    That's another amazing transition from nasty, to tastefully, based on quality, creativity, and pure craftsmanship.

    We live in Oklahoma and my father in law got block skirting on his. But his went even with the edge of the trailer. It looks so much nicer than vinyl skirting. You did a good job 👍✌️

    Looks good. That plastic skirting top trim strip was just a water and dirt trap. Good call to upgrade. Should get some of those low profile solar deck lights and mount them under lip for cool look at night and sidewalk illumination.

    Quick question, I have a double wide mobile home and want to replace the cinder block for new once since the old one was not install properly. I made a few calls and the price they gave me was $8,700 to install new cinder block, materials and labor included. Is that about how much it cost?

    There are some stone shops near by that they get some left over powder from the cantera stone they work and cut. I Wonder if that cantera powder (pinkish-orangy) could be used instead of the color used for the concrete. I will consider making a test with it.

    great job but I usually get the cinder blocks flush with the walls, but also anchor the walls to the new cinder block foundation, I know it is pretty tedious work but way better results to keep rain water sliding down and out of the house, and a mobile home sitting on actual foundations, and adhered to the block, it gets pretty price for my clients, but well worth the price in my opinion.
