- My final inspections before starting work on my 1957 Pacemaker mobile home.
Why am I doing this you ask? Because a house that has a 6 digit value just doesn’t make sense in this economy🙅🏾♀️ I’m making my dreams come true with living in a space meant just for me.

Sorry, some of the video is muted. I was only showing a virtual walkthrough of the mobile home and inspiration. Working to fix audio issue🤞🏾
Girl you've got this. As a 65 year old WOC who has lived all over the US, MX and Europe I've lived in many different types of dwellings. Take your time and get quotes for work needed. Do not agree to anything right away. Get different quotes and then check reviews, customer refrences if they have them and then check with the better business to see if the person/company have any complaints against them. Unfortunetly there are those who will take advantage if they can. You're young, a female and a WOC and that's what they will easily try and prey on. WHomever you decide to work with get quotes, timelines and everything in writing. Don't pay for anything upfront. A deposit at the beginning, halfway through and at the end if you can. Get reciepts for everything.There is so much information available here on youtube and many women pros who have been there and done that. Yes, being in your location does indeed require proper insulation, sealent and add a bit of skirting around the bottom to keep those critters out. I look forward to your progress. Congratulations! 🎉
Thank you for showing us this...I'm almost 59 and I will have to sell my house because I won't be able to afford it once I retire even though its paid off but...I've been looking at the older cool mobils to up date... I've remodeled houses but never something like this... SOOO thank you for all of it and I've subscribed after your last vid. can't wait to see your journey...much love for ya babe from Arizona gam
Thanks for watching. Cost of living was my issue too and after my car was stolen I just decided it’s time to get out of Chicago and make a home somewhere else.
Fellow old mobile home dweller here. I recommend A framing the roof and getting metal roofing, it's been amazingly durable and sounds amazing during rain. Think about storage and get creative, if you get furniture with space under it it will help so much. Cans under the sofa, off season items under the bed, storage Ottomans for blankets, hope chests for seating and storage. Basically look at all storage like shoe storage especially if you're trying to live farther out. Also, asbestos isn't dangerous if undisturbed or at least that's what the internet says so🎉
The hospital I work has asbestos in the flooring that they left in place and put new flooring on top of the old flooring. If the hospital left the asbestos flooring and placed new flooring on top of it then it should be safe for residential homes if it is undisturbed.
If there is asbestos you need a Professional to remove it. It is DANGEROUS!
Yeah, I’m not touching it. Some say if I don’t agitate it is fine to cover it but I need it completely removed. I need to reach out to a professional in the area.
@@kioflife good choice also if there are any damages spots you'll want a stronger better mask when you work in there. Getting one with a respirator will run you between $30 and $50 but will save your life when dealing with mold, lead paint, and other toxins.
Sometimes you can cover them and seal them in. Just put plywood on top that would seal in
@@kioflifeplease do that for your health baby. Your breathing is already compromised because you have Asthma! It looks like your home is going to be so cute! I’m going to subscribe so I can follow you. God bless you on your journey.💕
Asbestos poses no danger undisturbed. Covering it is a very cost effective way to remediate it. Also if your sanding or removing it always wear body, face, eye coverings and gloves. Dispose of in sealed plastic made exclusively to contain the material. It can be extremely expensive to dispose of. Also..many people chose to just build a pitch roof over a flat mobile roof..I’ve even seen them built “over” the home but not attached and it works!..Blessings
Put new metal roof over the old one- paint the old roof with estolastic white paint- they use for mobile homes. Mobile home roofs can hold up to the elements
Try a solution called GOO GONE on those stickers in the bath tub!
looking at your bedroom inspo, I want to recommend a RUclipsr named Kelly Eden. her entire house is decorated like your inspo and she shows how she did everything herself. she is an artist and her home is like a cotton candy colored girly dream vibe. plus, her art is so beautiful.
My husband and I just bought a 1985 mobile home and we put in a metal roof. I highly recommend. Metal roofs are very light weight. We live in upstate NY.
Is it flat roof or slightly elevated.
@@kioflife@kioflife Its flat. I used a guy who lives in the park i live in. He has done five or six here. It cost us a little over $3000 for labor and materials.
I'm loving this journey that you are on... I know you are going to be so happy in your new home!
There is an ikea table that folds down then you can open it into almost a island.
Love this project. I am an old camper dweller myself, I’m not 100% sure but your roof might not be rotten. Like for example with my camper roof, it’s the wood trusses, and then the flat metal roof floats right over that and is secured around the perimeter of the home. There is no plywood under the metal. So thus when you are on the roof you need to make sure you are stepping on the wood beams underneath. You might have this. Newer models have plywood underneath and then the metal. Not sure what yours is though. If your ceiling has water damage you would see obvious water staining, especially along the edge of the wall and ceiling.
yES!!! Good for you do everything you need to before getting a quote. You are SO right. People will be out here nickle and diming you on every little thing. because we are wormen. It's ridiculous.
Also I have the rainfall shower with the take off attachement. It's amazing. you can have both going at the same time if ya want. I got mine off of amazon for like $45 and it has both and the rain shower head is gigantic.
I’m here for the big changes!!!
Love the updates on your new soon-to-be home! Can’t wait to see the transition😍
Anxious to see your progress!! Great job so far!!
Get your trailer frame checked you need a straight frame to get home leveled properly if not your remodel will be unlevel and difficult for precision
Your layout for your new home looks great, but I would switch the location of the stove and the sink so when you do put your window on that wall, it would make more sense to be above your sink than having your window in between the hood and the stove it’s going to get dirty much faster and will surely be a nightmare to clean, especially cleaning underneath the windowsill.
This! I’m thinking the exact same thing. I think traditionally the sink is under the window and it makes sense
Take a hair dryer to the tub and heat the stickers, then peel off sticker, watch out for too much heat on your fingers
Greetings ! Like this video , you have such a great skill . Praise God !
It’s my first time watching your videos but you gotta slow the camera down. 😂
Been waiting for the latest on the project--you're amazing! I know how hard DIY is, but keep the faith. This is an investment in your future well-being and happiness and I am LIVING for it!
👷🏼♀👷🏼♀🖌🖌🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you! I’m looking forward to this project and completing so I can’t start my new chapter
Ya that tile and glue are aspestos. If you can really its best go over it in that small of a place. Its not good to disturb if.
I’ve been waiting for this video!!!!
I was gonna say make a rooftop deck
Now that's a thought! 😮 Wonder how much more that would be?
Good luck with your new home renovations! I look forward to a future update video. Cheers!
Love this
Gorgeous, flawless skin. I love your mobile home! I've been here since you got it and look forward to seeing the progress and the finished home. Keep posting!
Thanks for watching 🫶🏾
As some said previous asbestos isnt dangerous unless its disturbed but have someone come in and have a look love the journey
Please save the music for when you're not talking or please turn it way down. It was hard to hear what you were saying over the music.
Living in Dubai, I had two washer dryer combos and a ton of issues. They don’t dry after a while, just a hassle.
Good call on not getting a washer and dryer combo. They have them in England as a pretty standard thing and it's well known that in England everyone hang dries their clothes. Honestly though with such a big laundry room you could also hang dry your clothes and save some cash on electricity!
Line Drying wet clothes indoors can also cause a lot of indoor humidity.
Congrats and I love watching your journey✨ Also, the 3D images/tour of your mobile home is cool, what website did you use to do that?
Omg sis you are funny 😂❤
If you have asbestos, you need a Professional to remove it and that could be costly I hope that it is not, I would get it checked before you do anything else for the health of your body and wallet Peace & Blessings
Getting a professional to do it will be my best bet. Thanks for watching 🤗
Disturb as little as possible. You dont need to rip everything out. Preserve the original features as nuch as you can
You can wear a respirator mask from Harbor Freight, buy some 55 gallon contractor garbage bags from HD and bag the tiles up, remove them, vacuum the floor when you're done and you'll be fine. Oh and take a shower...lol save yourself a pile of cash vs paying some so -called expert because that's all they're gonna do
😂”take a shower”. But that’s great advice because I don’t want to spend so much unnecessary money if it can be done inexpensively
Use luxury vinyl plank. Not real wood.
