Mini split ac I installed in the mobile home: amzn.to/44hkmtm
We added the same minisplit to two mobile home rentals last year
@@rdavism1 I put the same one in a stick built home and I haven’t had any complaints with it yet.
Should have caulk around the top base boards....
@@lifewithme1187 I never do it when I install new baseboards, if I repaint a home I usually tape and caulk
As a very young single 20 something female, back in the early 90's I bought something exactly like this for my first home! It was not as beautiful as yours (I had no skirting or porch) my my trailer was completely paid for and I loved it! I was my first step into adulthood! I think what I am trying to say please never stop what you are doing with your restoration projects! There are many young responsible adults that would love to have a place like this! ❤❤❤❤❤
BTW, I now own my own more established home in another state with my husband. But I will never forget my very first home as a single woman!
Thanks for the encouragement, I love your story, we all start somewhere.
@@frugallandlord6974 that is for sure! Thanks again for everything you do! 🤗
That's what I did with my first enlistment bonus in the Army, I had a buddy who's dad owned a Mobile Home Park and I bought a small 1 bedroom Mobile home that he couldn't get anyone to rent because I was only a 1 bedroom for next to nothing and gave him like $40 a month lot rent and on weekends my best friend and I from post would drive the 250 miles home and work on it. It took 2 and a half years but when I came home from Active Duty and took an AGR job I had a "brand new" place to live. I live in that place for 6 years before I met my ex wife and we lived there another year together before we bought a house, but in the 7 years I saved ALOT of money because all I had to pay was lot rent and my utilities which weren't much because I was young and I was almost never home. I'm getting ready to move to Arizona at the first of the year and I already bought a little piece of land that already had a Mobile home on it and I've been flying back and forth for the last 10 months working on the property and mobile home, All I've got left of the mobile home to do is paint it and put flooring in.
@@TheREALOC1972 Wow cool story about your military days sounds like it panned out really good. Holy cow flying back and forth isn’t that expensive!
I hope the people that get this home appreciate all the work you’ve done😊
Yeah I hope so too😀
Looks good
@@Boxerlove thanks😀
@@James-to7pi it’s all tile but honestly I don’t see a problem with hardwood either 🧐
Incredible renovation. Basically built a new house. Nicer than most "new" mobile homes. Congrats.
thank you so much
Great renovation! ❤
@@lorraine7039 Thanks I appreciate that, thanks for watching.
It’s a pig with makeup on it.
Wow you did a fantastic job on taking the time to restore that mobile home. Now it’s in livable condition 😊😊
Thank you very much!
I went to stay with a friend in Canada about 8 years ago, and I stayed with a friend who lived in a mobile home in a park. I noticed that people up there do not let mobile homes get trashed. There was several people renovating some of them. They were also very beautifully maintained. I have never seen anything like that before.
yeah that’s great if they can keep them from getting trashed
@@frugallandlord6974 they actually bought them for themselves or their family.
People up in Canada probably trash there mobile homes as well
This renovated home is better than new . It doesn't have the "fancy" look but the junk quality of the new factory homes that cost a fortune. I like that the floors are the same throughout it looks so clean and crisp. This is the way they should be built plain and simple.
kind words, thank you so much.
My sister had me put in her flooring the same way. I at first thought it was strange, but then I realized what filth must be on our shows. I couldn’t have imagine having vinyl flooring throughout the whole house with no carpet. But she absolutely loves it. She sanitizes everything and easily with a wet dust mop. She doesn’t allow shoes in her house. She has a large rug for her baby to crawl on and I have a large mat by the door I can stand on when I visit temporarily. If I am going to move through the house I must shed my shoes. I told her several times how weird it seemed to me to have hard floors throughout. She kept reminding me how gross carpet is. I remember loving carpet in my bathroom, but she is right, it’s very disgusting when you think about it. My next remodel will be like you said, Chrisp and clean, no carpet, just like in this video.
You guys did an excellent restoration! I’m considering doing a property like this.
anyone can do it with lots of time and a little money, good luck to you!
This will be a lovely home for someone! Looks brand new.
Thank you so much I hope it will be a good home for a few years.
oh, I cannot believe this is the same home, the first time I saw it when you first had it shown it looked like a giant tuna can and I thought to myself there’s no way he’s going to make this look decent. Boy was I wrong? This looks like it was brand new just manufactured. It’s a spectacular showcase! By the way, your wife is a doll. She looks beautiful and has such a sweet personality. I am older and I can tell you a good spouse is a blessing like none other.
Thank you, the house was a challenge for sure, and my wife is amazing, I understand how blessed I am.
Wow! You did an excellent job. Anyone would be blessed to live in this. 👍👏👏👏
Thank you so much
Great job! I'm redoing a 1972 model. It's been a long slog but we're in the process of redoing the kitchen and bathroom then all the flooring. Drywall is all done now. Man, what a difference!
drywall makes a huge difference in these old mobile homes that had paneling in my opinion. keep working on it and you will be done before you know it.
Great job! I love single wide homes!
@@garyuselman8597 All that is done now. Exterior sheathing is next. Removing the metal and putting up ZIP System. I'm also in the process of doing a wood accent wall and the electric fireplace surround.
@@frugallandlord6974 All done now, kitchen and bathroom are 95% done. Just a few minor things like cabinet door and drawer handles, etc. The thing about adding drywall is it adds weight to the exterior. I need to put in a concrete block foundation to keep it all level. Got a farm jack just for that job. I'll get a couple more bottle jacks as well.
@@SciaticaDrums wow congratulations on getting that much accomplished, what a great feeling that must be for you. Thanks for the update.😀
This showed up on my feed today. Your remodel looks stunning.
Thanks 😀
A beautiful job throughout the mobile home.
thank you very much
Very impressive! I wish I could find something like that to buy at a reasonable price. After your renovation, not before lol. Beautiful house. Y’all did a bang up job!!!!
thank you so much
Luke!! You guys did an amazing job on it. What a difference from when I saw it with no walls holes in the floor, old windows, just a latter to get inside!. It's beautiful!!! ❤❤
Lol yeah it was a mess
Where are pictures of what it looked like before?
@@kimberlychodur3508 go to my playlist called “junk mobile home renovation” you can see some early footage, lol it was literally junk. Thanks for watching.
@@frugallandlord6974 well do thanks.
Brother, I noticed the gap between the trim and the wall. You have white baseboards so can take white caulking and fill all the cracks, then wipe down the seams immediately with a damp rag or sponge to get any caulk off the walls. This will also work around the plug and switch plates. Also make the screws on the plate all face the same directions. Someone told me this years ago and I did it on a home I remodeled. Before I put the caulk in the gaps, people were telling me it looked nice, but after caulking they told me it looked so much better and several people said it looked cleaner. All said they never seen the gaps the first time they looked. They did but couldn’t identify what was changed and different before and after. Today they make caulk in stainless steel color, so my up coming remodel will not have gaps between the stainless steel parts like towel holders and door handles. I also took baby food jars and kept touch up paint. I would touch up every imperfections and ding caused by moving in, every time I cleaned. It was the most beautiful home I had ever seen at the time.
Just so you know, yours is one of the best remodels I have ever seen. The video inspires me to make a RUclips video of my remodel. I have some videos, and lots of photos before and what I have done so far, but things seem so much more expensive today, so it’s not going fast.
I buy new stuff from thrift stores and have been doing so for years. My double wide was probably a fentanyl house and I bought it from the owner for back taxes and a truck and travel trailer. She almost lost it for back taxes and I bought it days before the auction. Thanks for the video.
Yeah I am aware about the gap, if I’m repainted the home I will caulk then tape and paint but on this home I just painted the walls and trim separately and nailed the trim on after I painted, I understand what you are saying with white caulk I just have never thought about caulking walls without painting over the caulk, maybe it would look ok 🤔. Anyway thank you so much for the kindly worded tips, I definitely appreciate that.
@@frugallandlord6974 dude, I truly appreciate you and your video. And your remodel was amazing. I am so glad that you posted, because it gave me motivation. I was almost stopped in my remodeling. You probably don’t know how much your video meant to me. I was reminded of my past mistakes and experiences I made. I really appreciate you sharing your video.
@@jonathanking6546 you are welcome, I’m so happy my video could inspire or motivate anyone, it makes me happy to hear that. 😀
I was looking for a Tiny Home when I came on to this video. This is so my style!! I love clean nice smaller homes and this would be perfect for me due to being on Social Security. Very affordable living and the home looks brand new!
Thanks, I haven’t looked into the price of tiny homes but I’m guessing these old mobile homes are much more affordable, it’s just that they usually need a lot of work to make them nice, good day and thanks for watching.
I have a mobile home that needs completely refurbished,but I live on land that rent keeps going up
That is very nice. You did a great job. My Mom bought her first rental when I was 18 months old, and now I am 69 years old. I've renovated apartments and houses with her over the years, and this video brought back memories. I started finding good buys on remodeling materials at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore, their thrift store, and have gotten good buys on new and used items for remodel projects. They often have the merchandise shown online at their website.
oh cool I’m glad my video brought back some memories for you, I don’t have any restores near me but I have been to them before, thanks for watching.
Great job. The tile floors and tile shower are beautiful. I hope your renters appreciate it and take care of it. Good luck.
Thanks so much, good day and thanks for watching.
Very nice renovation. Love the tile floors and the bathroom. But to be able to go outside on the porch on either side and drink a cup of coffee and listen to the birds. You renovated a nice little cozy home.
Thanks I Appreciate That, thanks for watching.
Beautiful remodel, the interior is more like a real home. Nice.
Thank you so much, and thanks for watching.
I would love to live in that home. Well done. Good lighting and spacious. The covered decks give you even more space. ❤
Thank you so much, thanks for watching.
Everything looks amazing you did a beautiful job, I would be very happy in this home!👍💪❤️
Thank you so much!
Thank you for this!! We're considering buying a mobile home to renovate & use as a summer home. We will be using this video as a guide 😁
Very cool, good luck with the renovation.
This is my first time on your video so I don’t know the backstory, but I can tell you did a great job and I think most people are waking up and going to a smaller homes and trailers. If you can find somebody clean delivered by you that’s the biggest thing it’s not having a big house it’s being safe and people are learning they don’t wanna give up 60% of their income just to live in a big house.
yeah I think you are right, thanks for watching.
Very nice. I love the tile floor throughout.
Thanks, I also like the tile, thanks for watching
That older mobile home looks fantastic! Some young person or older person will love to call it home. Nice job Sir! Just subscribed also.
Cool thanks for the sub, good day and thanks for watching.
Awesome job, love the gray with those floors!!!
Thanks so much!
Really a great job. The home looks fantastic.
Our daughter bought an old mobile home several years ago and after about a week into the restoration process we all decided the lady she bought it from should have paid our daughter to take it off her hands. Lol😂 But in the end the old '72, $2000. mobile home turned out nice andcserved her well fir a few years. A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into fixing that thing up, but her dad and I redid the whole thing from top to bottom. 😊
Yours really does look terrific. 😊
lol my thoughts exactly, thanks for sharing, and thanks for watching.
First time on your channel. Nicely done remodel/gut! I really like the floor tile!
Thank you so much 😀
Your of the mobile home is gorgeous, anyone would be ecstatic to be able too live there. Great job.
Thanks.😀
I have always liked that tile that looks like wood. Great choice, so glad you went all the way with it.
I was reluctant to put tile in a mobile home, but so far it has held up well, everyone who sees it seems to like it a lot.😀
Beautiful! Looks like brand new! You do excellent work!
Thank you so much!
Absolutely great job and I wished that other mobile homes loos as good as this one!!! :)-
Thank you so much 😀
Lucas, beautifully done!!! I'm amazed. Doesn't look like a mobile home at all.
Thanks 😀
Great job 👍 it look fantastic now thank you for sharing have a great day
Thank you and thanks for watching
You did a beautiful job. This is a perfect home for a young couple or retired people. The drawers in the bathroom are really nice. I'm Irish living in Ireland..🇮🇪 Over here there are not many people living in mobile homes. They certainly wouldn't be as big as yours. Particularly the older models. The porch would be perfect for a chair and a small table. To sit drimk coffee and listen to the bird's.
I don’t think mobile homes are common in other countries, I would bet that USA is the king of mobile homes, thanks for the kind words and thank you for watching.
When outside there was a lot of traffic noise but inside it’s really quiet. Great job. Frigal doesn’t mean looks cheap
I think the wood siding new insulation, windows, doors and drywall made the home much quieter, it was a frugal job but I didn’t want to cut corners, I think it turned out pretty good and most people like it, thanks for the visit.😀
You should put cabinets around the refrigerator to make it look built in and more finished.
Yeah that’s a good idea
No it limits the size of the fridge, we have issues with this as they change sizes.
This place is beautiful ❤ You've done an amazing job making it a great home better than before ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you 😀
Looks real good. I talked to an insurer once about buying an old mobile home & they said they would not insure it unless wiring, plumbing & heating including any natural gas line were all redone brand new.
That’s one thing to think about for sure. Some of the very old mobile homes had aluminum wiring. Thanks for stopping by.😀
Wow I love the wall and floor colors.
Yeah I think it’s a good combination 😀
Very nice! That's everything that I would need for my retirement home! I would screen-in the back porch - the only change I would need...
Yeah a screened in porch would be nice I totally agree 😀
Good job I love how it turned out!
Thank you very much, I’m glad you liked it.
diane just found this,i didnt know there was a be4,thanks,i think i might just have 2 sub.
Wow! What a great job! You made a beautiful home for someone...!
Thanks.😀
Looks brand new. You did a great job!
Thank you.😀
Love it. It looks more like a house then a mobile home. !!!!
Thank you so much.
Thanks for the showing 😊 you did a great job.❤❤
Thanks for watching.😀
Wow! This is beautiful work! Great job! :)
Thank you so much!
Nice job!! Looks fantastic!
Thank you very much!
You did a fantastic job! I love it ❤!!!
Thank you so much!
It would have been so nice to have seen a 'before' picture of the coach. I live in a double wide coach in Palm Springs, Calif in an over 55 complex. I just witnessed a '70s era coach completely renovated to a similar extent so this video was very interesting. I'm wondering where the geographical location is? Good Work!!
I have videos on my channel showing the home in early stages of renovation. Thanks for watching.
I now have all the videos on this home in a playlist, “junk mobile home renovation” so you can watch more.
You did an absolutely beautiful job.
I appreciate that, thanks for watching.
Great remodel. You can always use LVT and also there is this rubber type flooring that is just as durable as LVT
Yeah I have used luxury vinyl plank flooring on several homes before, I do like it a lot. I have not seen the rubber flooring yet though. thanks for the tip.
@kldegeyter What is the rubber type flooring called? I have tried to find residential rubber flooring for years, so I am interested. Thanks!
@@jls6n when I get home I will get the info for you.
You did a lovely job! Hopefully a renter will be proud of it & care for it properly!!
Yeah I hope so too.😀
You did an awesome job! The house is beautiful
Thanks I appreciate that, thanks for watching.
Great job and your room looks great!
Thank you so much 😊
You did a beautiful job
Thank you so much
Beautiful job. Love all the tile.
Thank you.
The bathroom is beautiful!!❤❤
Thanks, I appreciate that.
Night and Day transformation. Very good job.
Thank you! yeah it was pretty crazy to fix that mobile home but it can be done obviously.
High quality finishes, great job!!!
Thank you.😀
You did a wonderful job sprucing that mobile home up. My daughter just bought a trashed RV with a house added to it and is wondering whether to tear it down or what, just to flip it.
Wow is the house, a mobile home or just like a stick built cabin. I guess it would depend on the quality of the build, if I would keep it or not.
Wonderful work done!! It looks fabulous
Thank you so much 😀
Our first house was a trailer. Great starter home. We sold that to pay for closing costs for our house. Have always owned and never rented. Trailers and tiny homes are a good way to start. Great job. I would put up shelves above the washer/dryer. Small corner in the small bedroom would put shelves also for clothes. Not much room for dresser. This way more room. Love you have a deck at both doors.
Thanks for the thoughtful comment, very appreciated.😀
Nice place! Last November I had to give up on my 1983 Madrid because it had deteriorated so much. I had lived there since 2005 when I bought the 3 bedroom 2 bath 14x80 for $2,600.00 from a neighbor. We owned our land and paid a friend $500 to move it across the street. We had to do a lot of repairs, but something was always wearing out. Our finances were limited, but we held it together until 2022. I miss living there every day. It is still my home, and I live where I'm at now.😢
are you living in the 14x80 now, you got a pretty good deal on that, I don’t see many 3 bed 2 bath single wides but I know they made a lot of them, good luck to you.
@frugallandlord6974 No, I do not still live in my mobile home. One of my daughters bought me a house in town. I do still own my trailer, but I have not been able to bring myself to go there since I moved last November. My daughter did not let me bring a lot of my things that I treasure. Almost all of my clothes are still there. I also own the land, 1/2 acre, my home sits on. I've lived there since 1990. It's all paid for too.
@@jeanbaker2087 I hope you like your house in town, what will happen with the mobile home, will you rent it out or sell it?
@frugallandlord6974 My youngest daughter pays for her trailer in October, and she will pull her trailer onto the land in front of my place. I will continue to use my house as storage. My place has holes in the ceiling all over, and some areas of the floor are weak (a hole under my couch). The shape it's in no one would rent it or buy it. The place I'm in now was built in 2018, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. She bought all new furniture that suited her taste. It's a nice to live, but not my home.
@@jeanbaker2087 so sad to hear. I understand having a home that is yours. I lost my first real home. I have lived in several places before and since but still miss my home. I am getting older and have made homes for others. I am now remodeling a double wide to sell, and will use the profits to build my final home. Don’t give up and don’t hang on to the old homestead. Let it go and build your new home. It’s not easy or cheap these days, but I believe it is still possible. I have dreams of a home powered completely by solar. Completely paid for and no utilities. I will overpay my taxes by several years, and keep overpaying as long as I can afford it, so I can’t ever lose it. I don’t feel like we can ever really own anything in America.
You did a fantastic job! Your wife is lucky to have a man that's handy.
Lol, I hope she feels lucky, appreciate that and thanks for watching.
Looks very nice. If it were mine I'd put as big of an island as I could in that kitchen. One with alot of storage capacity. Nice job.
Thanks, yeah an island would be nice.😀
This is amazing!! It’s beautiful!
Thank you.
Very nice! It's a home now. Great job 👍
Thanks, I hope someone will feel at home here.😀
I love trailers! Awesome Job.
Thanks I appreciate that, I hope you enjoyed the video.
Fantastic renovation....very impressive work.
Thank you I appreciate that.
You have done a GREAT job on this.
It just so happens to be the same model as mine and ours has also been remodeled.
Cool did yours have the front windows that were rounded on the top? Thanks for watching.
@@frugallandlord6974 It had already been replaced with a 8x4 picture window.
I think I'm third owner.
@@ronnisimmons9992 probably built by the same couple of people, the construction is actually pretty good for an old mobile home, at least in my opinion.
Bravo!!! Nicely done! ⭐️
Thank you so much!
Beautiful. Awesome. I'm 85 yes old. This just what I need. Perfect. To bad you aren't Spokane WA. Of course I need the price
Thank you so much 😊
So bright and beautiful!
Thank you so much
You did a good job on this mobile home.
Thanks😀
Great job! I really like the floors.
Thanks 😀
Beautiful job!!
Thank you! 😊
This place looks amazing for a mobile home. Good work. Mine won't be nearly as nice due to budget but it'll be home.
Yeah that’s all you need, everything is just insanely expensive anymore.🤨
I like the way that you have renovated this entire mobile home but where I am from in TX I know that many people will just keep them till they are no longer livable.
Do you mean that tenants will destroy the home, yeah I understand that occasionally you can get some tenants that are extremely rough on a home and I have had some tenants like that. If they stay for many years then it’s still worth it because the cash flow you get over the years along with the deposit will be enough for the damages usually. Thanks for the visit.😀
Beautiful job but I have several issues. I think you brought the kitchen cabinets too far into the living room. I would prefer a larger living room area. And I think the porch could have been alot bigger since the only window was the kitchen window. That porch could have been a nice 8 feet it longer. That would have given much more space to be able to sit outside and enjoy. Beautiful flooring and wall color.
thanks and I appreciate the ideas I agree with both.
lol you sound like the customer nobody wants to work with 😂
Great job!! Thanks for sharing 👩🏽🦱👩🏽🦱
Thanks for watching, and you are welcome.
Beautifully done !!! 👍
Thanks😀
Excellent job!
Thank you very much!
It really looks great. I hope you find a good tenant.

You are amazing!!! Great skills!!!!! 👍👍
Thanks I really appreciate the compliment 😀
Amazing job! Well done. Its lovely.

I love this renovation 👏🏽
Thank you so much, it was fun but also a lot of work to get it finished from the terrible condition that it was in before. Thanks for watching 😀
@@frugallandlord6974 you did great with the resources you had! No problem 😊
Great job. It’s beautiful
Thank you so much 😊
Busy Highway is only real negative. Nice redo!
Thanks, the Highway is not the access road, but it’s close enough to this highway to get a little noise but it’s not as bad as the camera makes it seem.😀
looks great man, good work!
Thanks😀
Awesome work!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks
Awesome job!!

Nice job! Looks great.
