ReFrame Conference 2021: Mobile Home Repairs

Posted By: Adrienne Osborne (deleted) Video Library,

In this session Adam Bean, Appalachia Service Project’s Home Repair Coordinator, will discuss ways in which their organization approaches mobile home repairs. The session will begin on non-invasive methods to improve the energy efficiency of aging mobile homes. Adam will talk about the "hug system" of sealing the envelope of a mobile home with blue foam and vinyl. The later portion of the session will focus on techniques and materials for repairing leaky mobile home roofs. Throughout the session participants will discuss ways to coach volunteers through mobile home projects, material and cost considerations, as well as cost savings for homeowners.

Thank you to Tennessee Housing Development Agency for sponsoring this session!
