Get rid of that Carpet!

If you buy a used mobile home, the first thing you want to do is rip out that gross old carpet in the bathrooms. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? Now I already feel that mobile home manufacturers are the scum of the earth, building crap-ass mobile homes with wallpaper that went out of style the second it was invented and they are always looking for a cheap way out of things, but seriously? It's easier for them to install carpet AROUND A TOILET than to just put linoleum?

Yuck I just threw up a bit.

Like I was saying, rip out that disgusting carpet, and dear Lord, if you are living in your home right now with that carpet in it, get up and rip it out now! Carpet is easy to remove. You just grab the edge and yank. Then you'll need to remove the tack strips with spikes in it, but after that you're golden.

Even if you can't yet afford the $1 a sq ft. sticky tiles I'm about to show you - just rip out the carpet and live on the sub floor. It's worth it. I don't have a picture of this, but what I did was paint a nice coat of primer (the same stuff I used on the walls) on my bathroom sub floor before I tiled. There's already some green crap on there but it was poorly applied. Then I lived on the white floor until my handy awesome dad came over and installed the sticky tiles for me.

Sticky tiles aren't the best thing in the world. But in the spirit of being cheap and trying to improve your mobile home, here ya go.
