Please remember: Whenever you
are making repairs on your manufactured home, you should be
conscious of ladder safety. Make sure you pick the right ladder
for the job - use a wooden or plastic ladder if you're working
near electrical sources. Check the ladder to make sure it
is in good repair, and be sure to put it on a firm, solid
surface. The ladder should be at a proper angle, and you should
always stay inside the side rails as you work.
NOTE: Do not attempt repair work
on your manufactured home if your physical condition would
hinder you, or if you feel that the job is too difficult for
you. Be realistic about your skill level and your health when
deciding what repair jobs you want to do yourself. When in
doubt, call a professional.
