Out in the Country I'm at work a watching this video on mute but I have CC on. But I have to say y'all did a lot of work in a short amount of time keep it up it will looks great. Roofing nail gun will go a lot faster I'm glad you remembered that you had it
Disgusted, tired hard working home renovator: "They did a good job caulking". In a tone of voice that says it all. Me: "Moderate your tone sir!!! There are LADIES present!!!"
Many people are quick to tell you that you should have bought new. But, look what you have, a house, barn and 10 acres, that is paid for. You are not in debt. You are paying as you renovate, and not going into debt. Many people can't say they are mortgage free! I'm happy for your family and excited to see your progress. By winter your home should be about 75% done. Congratulations, you are doing well for yourselves.
What some may refer to it as insane; however, rot allows mold a place to grow ( warm, dark, wet place). What you are doing, is not only customizing to your preferences, but also removing health hazards.
You are saving yourselves a ton of money!!!!! And yes this is something I would do BUT this is when I become overwhelmed!!!!! But you both have such good attitudes and know the outcome. It's amazing what you can uncover when you demo. And its all yours, everything you do PAYS you back in quality of life.
I love it when I hear that Doug voice."well, it doesn't have to be perfect."..telling us but really telling yourself..Mr.Perfectionist..we love you ...and all
Boy you two must sleep real good at the end of the day. Or you're up all night with sore muscles. It does look really bad. But so much better built when you are done
It’s so refreshing to see the 2 of you working so hard doing this all on your own, I must say if half of the married population followed y’all around one day they might see life is so much easier when you work together and put in as much hard work as y’all do that marriage and life do work! It’s not always easy because life is hard but y’all do make it look so easy and have such great attitudes with great minding children! (That says a lot for the both of you)
Y'all are doing an awesome job, when I started working on my home I had some rot due to the roof not being guttered. Since I have 2 rooms upstairs and had to replace the 2 by 10's holding up the second floor, I was a scardy cat. LOL Went to Lowe's and got me a bunch of 4 by 4 post, that's what I used for my temp wall. Everything I know I learned from my Sweetheart [ he's gone on ahead ] I know he would be proud of what I have gotten done. I was always his helper, he was a Carpenter, and I actually learned how to build an entire house, wiring and plumbing too! Ashley, pay attention! Love your channel! BTW I am 77 years old and still going strong, Blessings to you all!
Thanks Hon, I need all the encouragement I can get! LOL Would love to have my own channel and show what I've been able to do. My only help has been a 9 yr old great granddaughter. God's been good to me though.
I'm really impressed with your attitude and the fact that you weren't cussing a blue streak. Lol! Y'all really are a great team and are doing a wonderful job!
ASHLEY, you beast !!! Amazing such a tiny young lady has so much strength. Doug, you sure have a keeper there. I’m sure you get discouraged, but you sure don’t show much. You just pick up and move on with the repairs. (I know, what is the alternative?). I was just routing wood doors for hinges this weekend, and was off 1/16 of an inch on one hinge and sat down and cried. Chemo hormones, I’m thinking. Yes, I DID pick myself up and fix it, lol. I thought , “Now this isn’t what Ashley would do!” You’re making that mobile home better than a frame home as you go. I don’t thing ANYTHING overwhelms you guys ... you’re awesome.
Ashley just amazes me with the strength she has for such a little person. Doug is so handy and knowledgeable. As a team you’re unstoppable and could tackle anything!
ASHLEY AND YOU ARE A COUPLE OF "OLD SOULS". THE TWO OF YOU ARE HUMBLE, MODEST, DECENT AND VERY HARD WORKERS. TO SEE YOUNG PEOPLE SUCH AS YOURSELVES IN THIS DAY AND AGE GIVES A BODY HOPE FOR THIS CURRENT GENERATION.
You have got one awesome wife!!!! No matter what job needs to be done she is right there to help!!! From pulling nails out to carrying a bay window which I know first hand how much they weigh awesome awesome awesome!!!
I haven't watched TV in a couple of years. I love the programming y'all put out. I could watch y'all all day. It's real, honest and relaxing. Thank you for the over 20 minute video. I loved it!
My husband and I love your channel. We can’t wait for each new video. You have completely amazed us with your abilities during this remodel. I read your reply about the cost of new double wide mobile homes and have to agree. We live in FL and the prices of new ones around here are absolutely outrageous! You’re doing the smart thing. God bless-
The wife is small, but strong. Impressed! Hopefully in the future you can afford to buy one of those ladders that can also act as scaffolding. Get some money from the aluminum.
Mad respect for basically tearing off the entire front of the house & repairing it. It looks good after the repairs but, man my heart would be ready to explode taking on a project like that. Keep it up guys. Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!!
Did you have construction experience in your past life? You certainly know what has to be done! That house will be better than when it was new. I am so amazed at what you are accomplishing together!!😎🙂
Impressive! Surprised me how thin the walls are especially for cold MI. You are smart to repair and do it right. ( please wear eye protection with that nail gun!)
You guys are magic! Doug, I love the way your mind works when you see what needs to be done next. You segment the jobs, ahead, so you don't project a sense of anxiety. I'd see the whole job and be overwhelmed. I hope the rain holds off long enough to keep the project dry. I was talking with my son yesterday, who lives in Mi. There was a lightening storm. Hope it didn't come into your neighborhood. Enjoy the strength of your youth. You're amazing. It's going to be so nice.
You are both amazing. Ashley as little bitty as you are you are one stout little gal, the perfect mate for Doug. You two go together better than peanut butter and jelly. Great job Y'all, just another video of just what you two are capable of. Outstanding! xoxo
We bought a 100 year old farmhouse way out in the country. We have been working on it for the 26 years we have lived here. We have and are still ripping out stuff and replacing rot. We have done it all. Had to tear out the utility room and the floor while keeping the roof up. Same with the wrap around porch. Just remember it makes you appreciate it that much more when you get it done. Then on to the next!
What counts is you're doing it right and that will take a bit longer and a bit more mess. Awesome job!!! I'm really enjoying this series of videos. Peace& Blessings to your family.
My wife and I bought a modular home and I replaced the front living room window and did exactly the same as your doing. The window leaked and all the pieces your doing I did as well I took pictures of mine. All I can say is I am glad it is done. I did a total renovation on ours, built a little 12 x 12 sun room on the back to house the wood stove as we use wood to heat our place. Want to move in this fall I am close.
Wow guys, what a mess, and you both rock! way to go Ashley helping Doug carry that big heavy window, I can only imagine how tired you both are at the end of the day. This was a great video, I bet it feels so good to see that now the wall will be solid and new and so much better. An awesome base to build on now. I'm looking forward to seeing more of the build, thanks for sharing, rest and take care, bye for now.
The fact that you are taking your time and doing it right says a lot about the kind of work you do and how you will be happy to know that you did it right. You both work do well together and I enjoy watching the good work you are doing
Thank goodness you’re getting rid of that horrible rotten wood! I’m loving this I know it will be so wonderful when you are all done! Bet your home will smell great when you’re all finished! Thanks so much for sharing! You guys ROCK! 👍🏻😎
Doug, does the living room face north? Because of the weather is that why the front of the house is in such terrible condition? Ashley is a wonderful wife and partner! You both are blessed! Love watching your progress!
I await your videos more than any other channel....I think I've told you before. You guys are my absolute favorite YTubers. Keep up the good work.......I've learned so much.
Now you know why I wanted to get rid of my mobile home supply/repair business. Loved the work but my knees and back will not allow me to do the work anymore. My 20 year old mind is at constant conflict with my 68 year old body. You two are doing great.
You two sure do work well together! No fussing and arguing or getting mad and throwing things. Congratulations on your patience and fortitude! Glad I’m watching instead of doing what you two are. Y’all make me tired! 😂😂
Wow Ya'll have captured my attention. I watch several RUclipsrs, and get behind sometimes. But when a new OITC video pops up I immediately watch it. Amazing!
I am amazed at your tenacity and your building knowledge. You guys just go for it but every step is thought out to completion and you work safely and securely. This is great to watch and I look forward to each and every video you post.
It is WELL. GOOD TEAM WORK. I PRAYED for both of you during THIS WINDOW removal and red door and SUPPORT WALL. I am PROUD of BOTH of YOU working SIDE by SIDE. You took you MARRIAGE VOWS TRULY TOGETHER🀄🀄😎😎 You have a NICE FAMILY. GOD BLESS YOU SHALOM from MICHIGAN. CHOW 🍄🍄🌹🌹🌻
Ashley you're a brute!!! I can't believe you were able to help with that giant window! I am constantly amazed at what the two of you attempt to do & accomplish, all the while making the job look easy! Loving your videos in Connecticut........
I would never in a million years make a window smaller. The view doesn’t matter so much but light does. Furniture can be put in front of windows. That’s just my opinion though. You guys are awesome and should always do you!
@@donnahong5998 Alot of our family lives North. L.P.& U.P. They have LARGE picture Windows for the BEAUTIFUL VIEW. They keep warm and also have smaller reg. Windows. They use wood stove also for heat. Each family does what works the BEST for them. Thank you🌻🌻🌹🍄🍄🀄
All I can say is to each their own! Ashley and Doug have their own style and reasons for what they do and as many videos as I have watched, they have gone through the whole thought process and will end up with exactly what they want!
I am not a fan of windows, all of ours are covered in thick blinds and curtains to keep the A/C in and keep the sunlight from fading the furniture and bleaching the wood floors. our house is 170 years old so most of the windows were not huge to start with except for the livingroom with its 10 foot ceilings and the windows are almost ceiling to floor but not very wide.
Doug standing in the window working... omg.. that is what it was like working for the company I used to work for.. lol, we also said.. No Tools, No Problem! It was an insider work crew joke. Because the boss had 60 employees.. and he felt he had to buy a new tool every time he needed one due to theft. I cannot count the improvisations we made to get our jobs done! We sometimes built temporary ladders.. you name it.
Since my house is similar to yours, I can only imagine what might be under my siding. Great teamwork! I get encouragement from your videos to do small projects. You set a good example.
I’m so sorry you had so much rot but at least you caught it now and took care of it! When you all get done with this house it’s going to be like a new house!!! I don’t think I’d want to tackle that, it’s so scary to take down the main walls, be my luck the whole side of the house would come down. Doug you and Ashley are very brave people!!! I can’t wait to see how beautiful it’s going to look! Xoxo 😘
Both of you impress me at how well you both work together, day after day.... I call you RUclipss power couple... guns 💪🏼 and brains 🧠😊equals... unstoppable ❤️
Would I do this? Only if my name was Ashley, and my husband was Doug! All I can say is wow, good on ya! Mobile homes are kinda cool really! I wish I had the guts to do this. What a great job you guys are doing! Very impressive
Always so respectful to Ashley. What a gem, she's always there for the nitty gritty. Also, nothing mobile about this stick rebuilt home. Woukd love to do project like this. The accomplishment makes up for the delays.
The reason for all that dry rot........... Roof pitch is NOT steep enough for Michigan snow fall. No eaves and gutters to carry water away from that deck and chimney. Eave troughs are tricky in Michigan as well, you need tin strips at the edge of the roof and a form of heat tape system that zig zags at roofs edge to keep ice dams from forming and melt backing up inside the house walls. Once you get down below the Mount Pleasant area, snow fall is not as much of a problem.
Wow you have an awesome wife ! To do all that heavy lifting and all the work she does is such a great help to you .you both are workers for sure ,such knowledge is a fantastic thing to have .may God bless you both with strength and wisdom to finish your tasks at hand !
I do enjoy watching this hard working team! You have skills and youth! My husband have worked together for 20 years and it does strengthen a marriage. Great job!
I could never envision doing this level of renovation on my home. I am amazed at how strong and beautiful your home will be from the ground up. This truly is a labor of love. Thanks.

Seriously tho, Ashley I give you the upmost respect for helping your man carry that window!!!! Great job!!💪😎
I was thinking the same thing, she's awesome!
Seriously..she's a warrior
So true, she is so tiny but she's a hulk in spirit and she gets stuff done!

That one time that Demolition Doug and Amazing Ashley wanted an open concept fresh air living room 😉! Looking forward to more vids, ☮️☯️

It's amazing what you can uncover when you demo. And its all yours, everything you do PAYS you back in quality of life.

I think FEW people would be able to do the projects you do. You are incredibly capable and hard working. Kudos to you both!!!
You guys are real go getters! Love watching your channel
You two are so talented and capable. I'm proud of you! What a good job! You coulda built a new house and given the mobile home to the chickens. Hahaha
Boy you two must sleep real good at the end of the day. Or you're up all night with sore muscles. It does look really bad. But so much better built when you are done
At what point might it have been better to sell the monile home and either purchase a better used mobile home or possibly a new mobile home?
It’s so refreshing to see the 2 of you working so hard doing this all on your own, I must say if half of the married population followed y’all around one day they might see life is so much easier when you work together and put in as much hard work as y’all do that marriage and life do work!

By the way, that big window would be a great start for a green house.
Yes and they are going to end up with a bunch before it is all done
If I was to ever buy a new place, I'd like it to be one you two have renovated!
Working with what you got and refreshing. This was heaven watching the transformation. And you're only half done.
Praying you stay safe with all that heavy work. Great team! Blessings, Mrs CB Ohio
Best team in the business!

That wall faces west. The damage is because of a badly installed chimney and deck. Thanks!
A lot of our weather here in Michigan comes out of the northwest because of the lakes. ❤️
I await your videos more than any other channel....I think I've told you before. You guys are my absolute favorite YTubers. Keep up the good work.......I've learned so much.
I agree! This is the first video I watch and always watch the ads.
Now you know why I wanted to get rid of my mobile home supply/repair business. Loved the work but my knees and back will not allow me to do the work anymore. My 20 year old mind is at constant conflict with my 68 year old body. You two are doing great.
I wish we could do this to my mobile home, it's in rough shape! But, I don't have the crazy skills you two have. Love watching you rehab your home!
Oh my. This is becoming like the money pit. You both are amazing how you roll with it.
I appreciate how positive you both are when you continue to find “opportunities” during the renovation. I would have lost it by now.
I would never do that to my house!!! But I would let you do it!!! You do a very good job. Can't wait to see the finished product!
You two sure do work well together! No fussing and arguing or getting mad and throwing things. Congratulations on your patience and fortitude! Glad I’m watching instead of doing what you two are. Y’all make me tired! 😂😂
My wife and I are in the process of doing the exact thing to our third house. It's tough work but very rewarding when it's finished. Keep it up, guys!
You two are an inspiration to me. Love seeing a husband and wife sharing the labor. Thank you.
Well done 🇬🇧😘🎉💐
I can only keep saying the same thing "awesome job"! You and Ashley are amazing! Mad skills!
Thank you :)
Great job guys! You two are the super team of deconstruction and rebuilding. Can't wait for the next episode.

May God bless you and your family
It is WELL. GOOD TEAM WORK.

Amen to that..gemma light anyday
All I can say is to each their own! Ashley and Doug have their own style and reasons for what they do and as many videos as I have watched, they have gone through the whole thought process and will end up with exactly what they want!
Smaller Windows are less expensive, less heat loss... 2 windows are plenty of light...
I am not a fan of windows, all of ours are covered in thick blinds and curtains to keep the A/C in and keep the sunlight from fading the furniture and bleaching the wood floors. our house is 170 years old so most of the windows were not huge to start with except for the livingroom with its 10 foot ceilings and the windows are almost ceiling to floor but not very wide.

I can't wait to see it put back together! Seeing the living room all open makes my hands sweaty 😂
Love seeing the two of you work together. Both are responsible for making your home wonderful. Grt work done today.
I literally check RUclips everyday to see if you have a new video! I look forward to seeing new content
Third viewing. Still leaves me shaking my head. Doug and Ashley are unstoppable. :D
Hats off to you both! Hang in there. 💪
Another great day of work!! Sometimes U gotta take a step back to go forward!! Great job 👍👏 Always keep it real country!!
Since my house is similar to yours, I can only imagine what might be under my siding. Great teamwork! I get encouragement from your videos to do small projects. You set a good example.
You guys did the right thing by removing the rotted wood and replacing it. I know its hard but keep up the great work!!
I’m so sorry you had so much rot but at least you caught it now and took care of it! When you all get done with this house it’s going to be like a new house!!!

that big front window would make a great ground green house for starting veggies and etc. lots of hard work but wil be wonderful when done
Repairs always cost more than you think and take longer than imagined.

The reason for all that dry rot........... Roof pitch is NOT steep enough for Michigan snow fall. No eaves and gutters to carry water away from that deck and chimney. Eave troughs are tricky in Michigan as well, you need tin strips at the edge of the roof and a form of heat tape system that zig zags at roofs edge to keep ice dams from forming and melt backing up inside the house walls. Once you get down below the Mount Pleasant area, snow fall is not as much of a problem.
You both are so brave and confident in your ability to fix anything. Love watching your progress.
