You are not slow, there are 2 of you that would normally be a crew of 6 or even 8 doing. Please stop discounting how hard you work and all you do. The home is looking great. Thank you so much for sharing. Happy Saturday. P.S. I love pressure washing videos.
It does go slow when one person is doing 90% of the work, and the other is going at half-speed. Doug feels the need to go a 2x speed just so the projects get done. You don't need someone to do nothing and hold a camera - get a tripod, and then both can do different tasks.

@@XtremeChiliPepper Ashley has her own duties like motherhood and home schooling on top of everything. I also believe she manages the channel. She definitely does her fair share of work.
@@loserplanet What does that have to do with the projects? I'm saying they could get much more done with two people working on them. Those regular every day things would be expected duties during the day, that both of them do off-camera. The kids sit in the van, Doug works on the projects, and Ashley is filming or sitting down somewhere while Doug explains things.
I love seeing Ashley's dimples when she smiles at Doug so proud. Best family vibe on yt and I'm here for it, every video. Great work.
I completely agree.
Me too! Love their approach to life ♥
I never miss an episode
You DEFINATELY want to paint. The humidity is still low in FL and it makes your life so much easier than trying to paint in the summer. No brainer!
Wow... almost 20 minutes watching pressure washing of a trailer.... my life is amazing.....🤭🙄🤫
Watching Doug pressure wash the side of the mobile home rebuild was totally hypnotizing :)
That was fun to watch. If you're taking votes between ceiling and painting the outside, I vote painting. I'm excited to see what color/colors you've chosen. I remember the red and white trailer you painted. That was nice, classic old style. Fresh paint gives a project a new look and sense of accomplishment.
something about watching you pressure wash just makes me wanna pressure wash my house now
This may sound strange but it was very satisfying to watch the dirt and grime being washed away! I love to pressure wash!
That kitty loves being part of the action. She needs a name.
We call her Calla, and we call the long-haired one Dutchess :)
Ashley, I would just like to mention how much happier you seem to be since the move to FL. I know you had some rough days before, but I pray those days are long past. You are an integral part of this channel and it’s a joy to see you smiling. Many blessings and much love…Bye. 😉
Yes, Florida looks good on you! I knew Michigan would be awful for someone who gets cold easily. Of course, I could just be prejudiced since I live in and love this state myself.
Wow! What a difference👍🏻The power washer works great! I vote for paint🙂
Have a great weekend!
BTW, nice glasses Ashley🧐
Thanks!
For a guy, nothing is more satisfying then the ease of pressure washing.
If only all of our projects would go so well as this chore.
Pressure washing is satisfying . Definitely not easy.
I am sitting here gobsmacked. I had NO Vision of how clean that pressure washer would make that job. Great video.
It cleaned up really well. If the new siding was the same color as the old, wouldn't have to paint at all. At least it's now ready for the painting. It will be nice to have that completed before it gets too hot and our rainy season kicks in..
Even if it were all new siding, we'd still paint it. It's getting a whole new look :)
Doug - you did a great job !! The difference is amazing .
I agree that extra batteries is a good purchase 👍
As someone who did power washing for many years … my suggestion is : spray on the soap, let it sit for a while, then soap up again. Then when you’re ready to power wash - start at the BOTTOM. That way you essentially get a double wash & double rinse with less work 👍👍👍👍.
I used a commercial 5000 hp unit with a 5 ft wand - and spin nozzle … but the unit you have can handle what you require. Bottom up will be very helpful to you .
Cause - if you keep holding that wand up over your head so long … you’re gonna have POPEYE forearms 😳😳🤣.
Looking fabulous, Doug !! I’m so proud of you and happy for you too ❤ 😘
I think of all the wonderful things that I have seen you both do, that watching the dirt roll off the siding is the best and most soothing to watch.
who'd a thunk powerwashing videos would be so popular!!!
You're quickly approaching the "fun" part of this rebuild! I love seeing the pretty stuff come together! Thanks, as always, for sharing!
Doug and Ashley great job as always. Seeing all the dirt coming off was so satisfying. Who would think watching someone presher washing the trailer would be so satisfying. It's always good to take a break. Thank you for sharing. ♥️🙏🌴
I vote paint the outside while weather is alittle cooler. The longer you wait to paint chances are you may have to wash it again. Pressure washing really cleaned it up nicely.
I hate power washing, but I just finished dinner and I am laying on the couch, this is very satisfying. What a big difference when someone else is doing the work.
My vote using my 2 cents is finish pressure washing to verify no leaks and prepare to paint enjoy a slower pace for little and then move to indoors when it’s less favorable to be outside rainy or to hot and then it will look good from afar and less likely to attract attention that the activity inside might have valuable tools or materials and not a lot of occupancy or anybody there and then that headache and all that follows. But great job on the roof and it’s coming along nicely. Wish I could help I would brought my pressure washer too lol
That pressure washer has made a world of difference on how the exterior is looking. Great job Doug and Ashley
Very satisfying, thats why I watch cutting grass and edging the lawn. Love seeing the transfomation
One, you guys are not slow. With only the 2 of you, man you are doing great.
I love pressure washing. It is like instant gratification. You see the results instantly.
Awesome video ❤
I like that you I’ve at a reasonable pace. Too much hurry these days, which leads to mistakes. Keep on doing this at your speed.
Watching power washing is so therapeutic lol
Very satisfying watching all that dirt come off👍
My vote is to paint the outside. It will be getting hot soon. Pressure washing turned out great.
The power washing is amazing. The type of dirt & grime on the metal must be greasy and full of fine grit. I love that Doug is rinsing as he goes along. Looks good.
Is this the most satisfying thing you can do instead gratification
The thing I like about your battery powered pressure washer is that is quieter than a gas powered one.
I am absolutely amazed at how well the power washer worked! I knew it would help but I didn't expect that much. Sorry the battery died but still it must have been very satisfying what you were able to accomplish. Great work!
Have a relaxing weekend! You guys deserve it! 😊
Hi kids!👋 Bye kids!👋 Have fun this weekend!😊🎉
Power washing is so satisfying. Instant results. Looks so good!
Total ASMR moment with the pressure washer!😂
Not sure about everyone else, but watching you power wash the mobile home was so satisfying!
You two work all the time, take some time and go on vacation, have some fun, make memories with your children, they grow up too fast, the home is looking good, I can’t wait to see what your plans are for the inside!
Slow my foot you are both doing a terrific job doing everything .show some of the pride we feel for you both and give yourself a big pat on your backs.That was a big job and so satisfying.
That power washer works wonders! Too bad you had to quit before you finished one side but you aren't in a hurry so no worry. Your mobile home rebuild is going well so far and I know it is going to look fantastic when it is all done. I'm glad you are taking some time to rest up and relax a little after that long roof job. Look forward to seeing you again when you are ready to show us the next step in the rebuild.
Take all the time you need, I'll be here watching ❤
👍🏻👍🏻
Doug, you and Ashley are doing a great job! But Ashley, when you move the camera when he was on the ladder, I screamed out. I thought he was falling off the ladder.😅😅
Pressure washing is just so gratifying.
There’s something so mesmerizing about pressure washing.
Wow what a difference 😊 and almost 6k views in less than an hour… you guys are The Bomb 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🤭🤭🤭
Looks so much better! Keep in mind weather when thinking of painting cause you want to do it before the “real” heat hits! Any breaks are well deserved for sure 👏👍
What a difference. Looked amazing minus all that dirt. I love pressure washing - my wrists don’t! 😂 👏👏❤
The money was well spent on the pressure washer! It was truly amazing to watch!
Very satisfying to see the home be rid of all the dirt. Great job, 😊😊😊
I love the satisfaction in watching power washing. The mobile home looks much better.
I vote for painting for one of the same reason you tackled the roof when you did. The sun reflecting off the metal is intense and the heat increases dramatically. Since you are your own boss it's wise to only consider painting metal in Florida before and after summer. Falling off a ladder after being overcome by heat isn't worth the risk. I do not intend to sound bossy or rude. A friend's husband insisted on pressure washing their huge RV during the hotter months. (We live in Georgia, our temp is usually a few degrees milder than central/northern Florida.) He fell and snapped his spine. He was home alone. By the time their children returned he had suffered a heat stroke. I am certain Ashley and Doug will make the best decision for themselves. I would feel horrible if I didn't mention my reasoning, especially since Doug asked for our thoughts. The mobile home is looking so crisp and refreshed. Every project makes such a huge difference. This channel is honest and real. Setbacks happen. Changes will be made. Your deadline is based on your decisions. That is part of the joy so many viewers derive from this channel - no insulting our integrity or intelligence. It's Ashley and Doug being true to themselves and truthful with their followers.
Extremely satisfying Doug & Ashley looks amazing
That video was a great deal of fun and satisfaction to watch.I’m sorry for your arm,I imagine it must have been physically taxing indeed but goodness perhaps worth the pain ? That device made a wonderful job .❤Who knew that elderly siding could look like that ! By the way Ashley you look so well,you probably should have lived in Florida all along 😎.
The weather will help you determine when to work on what. Painting outside needs lower humidity and inside can fill in the time when painting is not ideal conditions. It is really nice that you can work at your own pace. Been watching you and your family and it encourages me to keep moving, thank you for sharing with us.
Such a good difference!! Go ahead and paint the outside while it’s clean…
That mobile home will look brand new once it's painted , good job guys
I love watching this! What a transformation.
You two are amazing!
I am so glad you worked on the top trim. That has been bugging me.... lol!
I vote paint. It will look great.
I believe I would paint before it gets terribly hot but I don’t live there and I don’t know their weather patterns, they’ve been there long enough to know if it’s possible to paint at this time! I believe you ran out of soap also, power washers will do that to and you don’t realize it. When I power wash, I use a small amount of bleach, soap and water wash which kills the mildew and loosens up the embedded dirt, I apply it in sections with a RV brush and poll, let it sit for 10min., then power wash that section off before going to another section; when it starts to dry, you’ll see a very big difference and it will not use up your battery power so quickly either. If you don’t want to use 1/4 cup of bleach, use hydrogen peroxide or vinegar in place of the bleach, just be sure to rinse off with your power washer after 10min. of preparation solutions and the brushing on. Never use chemicals in your power washer! Best of luck to finishing your washing of the trailer, it already looks amazing 😂❤🎉.
Do not forget to check inside to see where you might have some leaks that you don't know about. I would do it as soon as you can after washing an area that way you can mark it with a wax pencil or something. It really looks nice for you. Really gotten all that crud off the outside.
That pressure washer makes a big difference. It looks so clean.
Excited to see the new color ❣️❣️❣️
Take a break. You deserve it. I vote for doing the painting first before the summer heat gets there. Then do the ceiling so you can get started on the interior builds. If anyone gives you any grief, remember, it's all about Mind over Matter. Those who mind don't matter and those who matter won't mind. Hi Belle & Maverick!!
So much wonderful progress on your mobile home upgrade/rebuild. It looks wonderfully clean and ready for the paint job. It's going to look so beautiful retro and almost factory original! Wooohooo! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us!
I cleaned my metal siding w/ a 5gal bucket of soapy water & a flat broom. I can't believe how good that works kudos!!!
Looks good, I don’t know how you feel about cleaners but the 30 seconds cleaner works excellent
Yes, it does! I mentioned it to them last week. The guy I watched use it did a 2 1/2 story house from the ground. It took like eight minutes if you counted the 3 minute wait time between first and second treatment, maybe close to 15 minutes, it was fast and in real time.
Your arms must have been like Gumby after that! It's funny. I never thought I would watch paint dry and this was probably equivalent to that but I thoroughly enjoyed that it was relaxing. LOL. I look forward to the next video. 🙂 Getting so close to the stuff I love to watch like painting and finishing work
What a difference a good power wash does...you guys deserve a break!
Ashley i like your glasses! They look so good on you! The power washing was so much fun to watch. When the battery charges again I hope we can see some more. With each piece that gets done you get closer so its all good. Take care Doug and Ashley...😊 I'm looking forward to the next video! Thank you!
😃 what a difference! Nice! Beautiful job Doug and Ashley! 👏👏 much love 😊❤🤗
Thanks!
I would paint next. Paint while it is clean. That way you won't have to clean again!!
I can't wait for your paint!!!
not that what i say matters but .... grandma always told me to work smarter not harder. if it were me i would start at the top and work down so your not doing double the work by rewashing what was already cleaned. NOT knocking your hard work, just i hate to see people working harder than they need to be thats all im saying. you guys are doing a bang up job on something that was called junk.. cant wait to see the finish product!!
Knew it would be a satisfying video! You appeased the up and down sprayers AND the side to side sprayers! 😂
We hope you all are having a great weekend! 🌲😊❤️
Y’all washing that mobile home brings back memories. I washed a few mobile homes back in the day with the scrub brush and my two hands. I think it was before pressure washers was invented. Lol
Amazing results using the pressure washer! Good work! Love your channel! Take care
Aloha 🌺 Wow! Pressure washer did a wonderful job! Good job! 🥰🌺
Wow, the ASMR of power washing 😂 Very relaxing to watch especially after I very stressful day.
As always be well, be blessed ❤
Doug you didn't ask , But I think you should finish the outside. And then going inside cause it'll take a lot longer to do the inside than Out. That's just my opinion. Hugs
It makes sense, to me, to paint the outside since you're cleaning it now, but I suppose it would have to be washed down before painting because of the environment. I still say paint and finish off the outside so you can tick that off your list and look at a nice home, at least on the outside. Love how much happier Ashley looks and sounds since your move to Florida. Best wishes to your family.
That was so satisfying to watch. Can't believe all that grime came off! Maybe the weather will help you decide which project is next. I'm sure WE'LL enjoy it whatever it is. 😊 Very smart to pace yourselves. Injuries happen with fatigue. All the best and God bless!
I can not believe how much crud you got off the side of the house. I thought that was rust! Nice job.
Wow, what great job the pressure washer is doing on the old siding. That has to be very satisfying seeing the crud gone!
Can't wait to see you next jobs. Your two options mean rain or shine you can work.
An incredible difference in the cleanliness of the mobile home exterior!!! 🥰🎶❤️🎶🏡🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
More and more I am getting really excited to see what this is going to look like when it is all done. The pressure washing of the siding was amazing. Looks great.
I borrowed my daughter’s pressure washer a couple of years ago and cleaned my patio, path and driveway. It never ceases to amaze me the difference that a pressure washer can do! Very satisfying. Great job! It looks fabulous! I can’t wait for the paint to go on. I would suggest that you do the paint next to avoid having to reclean it just in case you get any stains that require washing again. 😊
Powerwashing is fascinating to watch.
Work at your own pace. It took me a month to do my carport. Doing it right the first time is so much simpler. Toss a brush in on the sprayer work and it could go faster. I taped a long handle brush on my nozzle. Your job is the best!
Watching that dirt come off was so satisfying! It cleaned up way better than I anticipated. If you wait too long to paint after doing this, you'll have to wash it all over again, but at least it won't be as bad as this was.
Looking good. My vote is to paint the outside next. The amount of work you have put into the exterior it would really pop with a fresh paint job.
Pressure washing is so satisfying because you immediately see the results! It is looking awesome!
Wow. That pressure washer did a wonderful job!! I think you did a great amount of work Doug as those spray heads are really small. I’ve never used one but that is a lot of pressure you have to hang on to. What ever you decide to do next will be the right thing for you to do. I know you all really think things through before you do it. So I will be there no matter what you decide. Until next time. Hope you get some rest.
I would think about doing the outside - weather permitting - while it is clean enough to paint. Then you can tackle the inside jobs without worrying about the rains : D
I can't wait to see the paint colors 🎨
WOW 😮 what an awesome difference the power washer makes! I knew it would clean, but I didn’t expect it to make the siding look almost like new!! Very satisfying to watch!! You’re making fantastic progress, & I know it’s not, but you make it look so easy!
They bought this one to do the trailer 😂
Since that pressure washer doesn't seem to have trigger lock on the handle, to save your hands getting tired, you could use a quick clamp to depress the trigger for you. I discovered that whilst trying to avoid the hand cramps, so much easier.
That battery powered power washer did a pretty good job it was a nice watching you do that
It’s amazing how just soap and pressure washing can make such a “ Hugh” difference… It is also amazing how watching the process it’s also so mesmerizing …looking good, Love your channel and the unique content
That clean up is so satisfying. I love instant gratification jobs!
As for batteries and chargers, there are usually a lot listed on Marketplace in the Tampa Bay area. I just bought a new 18v Ryobi with charger for $24. I had been watching for a deal for awhile.
Looking good you guys. Can’t wait to see what color you’ll be painting it😊
The two of you always amaze me. Blessings forward.😊
