Thanks for your help I have been widowed recently and from a home I built with my husband I was the main contractor and it came out pretty good A 4000 square feet had to leave and I moved into a trailer which is totally a different animal everything is different an old trailer. Got a lot of repairs I'm glad I found you RUclips app
I have to say it shocks me Doug that you don't have your own business. In the time I've been watching your videos I've seen you fix just about everything including a roof. An honest hard working guy like you would thrive doing home repairs. It's very impressive. Both of you are great examples for your kids, you have that do it yourself quality that's missing in today's society, well done.
You really can't help but laugh. I said it recently in a previous video...when you work when you are tired you make mistakes. But we worked through it, overcame the issues, and got it done.
Just a couple of tips. 1...get a air tired dolly and some small ratchet straps for moving appliances. Won't tear your floors and more importantly your back. 2..you gotta wear gloves to protect yourself. I put a toilet in new construction at a mall and the sewer line 2nd connected to public restrooms which were already in use. When I tightened the cap nuts the stud came through the dome of the nut...like a can lid so I just thought I'd quick peel it off with my thumb. The brass did not bend but instead cut a perfect scoop out of my thumb. I peroxide it and bandaged it and continued my install. Next day I had to go to the Dr. and found out I had sepsis and he wanted to admit me for intravenous antibiotics. I was under deadline for Grand Opening so I refused so doc gave me some horse pills that worked. But today there are so many diseases like hepatitis and others you must protect yourself. I used to think I was bullet proof too buuut. 3.. When caulking it works to keep a lil bowl of water with dish soap in it and dip your finger in it to smooth your bead....nice clean bead and always be sure to cut your tip on caulk small so not a glob as you smooth the bead. Just some tips from an old man in Michigan...been there done that.....didn't even get a T-shirt
Doug & Ashley, the Arts & Entertainment Network should give you a program call "Flip this Mobile Home", since you are doing such a masterful remodel and soon to be selling. The bathroom/laundry room is soooo much nicer, great job!
We restored a mobile home in Florida that we use for a vacation home! Did most of the work ourselves over the years! We painted the paneling to give a fresh, clean feeling. Worked great!!
Wow that turned out really nice. After getting the place all spruced up not sure how you'll be able to move! You two work so beautifully together. OOOOPS someone forgot to turn off the washer water supply! lol I like that linoleum. Good buy!
Another job well done. Thank goodness Doug you are a clever cookie and can do the work. (Saving you heaps of money). These attributes will help greatly for the sale. Good on you both. xx
Not the nicest job to have to tackle, but you did it and did it well. It looks great! It reminded me of the trailer we used to have, about 30 years ago.
How about 100 percent better?? Great job! The floor is very nice...a great transformation!! You guys just keep on amazing me...us there anything you can't do??? Lovely!!
I have a suggestion in reference to your tub door. You can remove that metal frame that holds the accordion door. Use grout or other waterproof goo to fill the screw holes, then put up a tension rod with an shower curtain that is much more easy to keep clean (and much easier to open/close). Over 50 years ago, my father removed the glass sliders from the tub and the shower in the bathrooms in my childhood home because the tracks of the sliders were almost impossible to clean and, of course the glass builds up soap scum. P.S., the floor looks great!
Nice job! Water flying across the bathroom. "You forgot to turn off the faucets! Why didn't you think of that? Why didn't you?" Baaaa! Haaaa! Sounds like my bride and me!
Thank God for men! You, my, dear, have one of the best husbands. I am so glad you have gloves on. I was a little concern earlier. the bathroom is looking great. Great Job you two!
You are a very talented young man! Those older mobile homes are built well so they are def worth fixing up. The bathroom just needs a a nice fresh coat of paint now. You two are a great team! I admire you both.
Yeah, the paneling throughout the house is in great shape for it's age but the bathroom definitely is showing some wear. That's probably the one room that we wouldn't mind painting but it's mostly hidden with the washer and dryer in place.
By staying true to the colours and design, you essentially are restoring your home to its original condition. You are doing a remarkable job, you should both be very proud of what you are accomplishing. A couple that can work together like that is truly blessed. Keep up that amazing work.
Wow - fantastic difference! Love the bloopers - haha - you are so real! Gosh who knew that mold and gross stuff was under there - you can’t even imagine that up! Not only does it look great now you can feel great about using it (especially having little kids). You probably know this already but once you get the tub all cleaned up and buffed - put a coat of car wax on it. That plus your water softener will help the water just bead off. I like the suggestion of another viewer to place any extra linoleum under the sink. That makes it easier to wipe up. Great great job - kudos!!! 😻
Hey, dont blame Ashley, she didnt unhook the washer, did she. lol it was funny..great job. Lookin good. It does an older heart good to see a young couple doing something good for the next owners of your property. 👍👍 🖖🖖
I would totally paint that bathroom.............it would really brighten it up. You did a fantastic job on the repairs you did! So much better already :)
I am so glad I found this channel. I am buying what is essentially going to be multiple projects. It's all stuff that I feel I am capable of doing, but haven't done before. Seeing you go through this actually gives me hope for being able to do my own.
I solute you both,what a great job you have done on your home. This is how we started many years ago in our old Mobile home and it served us well for the first 21 years of our marriage. We were able to raise two boys in that home. Keep up the good work and be proud of your accomplishments.
Wow! I love how 1970s the decor is. Can’t believe it’s still original. I’ll miss that vintage linoleum. Yuk #1 yuk #2 lol! Great job. Btw. You guys are adorable Thanks for sharing 🙏
I'm amazed at how great you two are fixing these thing up and making them functional again for such little $. Think about adding some nice paint to that paneling, would brighten it up even more and you can use some appliance paint to freshen up those appliances. Overall, very impressive work.
I love that ya'll get some amazing deals!!! Just goes to show ya don't need thousands to make things look good! We have a habitat restore in our area and I LOVE that place! I've got some GREAT deals! I appreciate people who re purpose things! Great job guys!!!!!!!
Great job! I love your bargains and how you just go for it. I agree on color on the backsplash. And, y'all are so funny and real. I love the "bloopers" being left in.....the water spraying out.
Just started watching your video's. Wow you guys did a great job . The only thing I would have done differently would have been the floor . My husband and I lived in a mobile home and we had to change the whole floor out with new ply wood . That press board will not last long , especially when getting out of the shower wet . Even when our kids were growing up they would splash and get the floor wet, so we just had to change them out completely. My husband remodels and repairs homes and he's had to replace so many floors like that . Anyway.... fantastic job on all the rest of what you did !! That's is hard word !! BYW ...I love how your kids are included . That's so sweet !!
Oh no! The water from the washer hook-up. Definitely have changed out the countertop, backsplash, and bathroom cabinets, too. Love the upgrades. Really makes a tired place look fresh and inviting.
"and Ashley came in for the win!" You go girl! This was very helpful I'm so glad I came across your video.. or videos I should say because I'm buying a mobile home and looking to remodel pretty much everything 😁 you guys did an awesome job.
This looks great! If you’re looking for ways to update the things you pointed out- bonds fills the chip in the counter and then you can use the counter top paints- looks like granite! Also stick on “tile” for back splash, it looks like little tiny tile and is easy to install- good luck!
I remember when I bought my property back 12 years ago I loved the area and went to the neighbors and asked if I could have a glass of water just to see what it was like and how it would taste! I wouldn't of bought the property if is was not good we have perfect spring tasting water here. when you buy your new property this is a way to see how it is! I know the softeners are expensive testing and asking some questions goes a long way! good to have good water. Love your video's enjoy the channel.
I like that Doug actually finishes projects. My ex husband would start a project and would get part way through and then lise interest and never finish. One of the many reason he became an ex. The only thing I ever saw him finish was our marriage.
You both do a very good job as a team, even your kids help out. Great parenting you two!. I've owned 6 mobile homes. Done a lot of r&m. I'm driven by these words "if it was built by a man. I can fix it!" Thanks for a wholesome program.
I'm wondering if you noticed any of you getting sick from the mold you didn't know you had... I would have ended up in the hospital with my asthmatic issues! You two make it look so smooth and easy. My other half and I would kill each other trying to do a project like that together. You do a really good job.
No, thankfully we have all been really healthy here, but then again it was under the vinyl and we don't spend a lot of time around the toilet, lol. Mold is terrible though.
UGH!So lucky you are not all sick! Could have been worse, much worse! it is so good for your kids to be watching and participating in what you are doing.
behind the sink - clear plastic flat sheet - take your measurements and they will cut it for you --paint it the one one side the colour of your choice - you have to paint down the sheet then across the sheet then down the sheet then glue on and looks amazing - you glue the painted side to the wall - we use the same system in kitchens in New Zealand as well as a back splash
Just found this channel today, you two do great work, we have over the years slowly remodeled our old mobile home and can relate 100% with the issues you are dealing with, we save the money to remodel different parts of our home when we can. We love your videos and we wish the best for you and your family - God Bless
Good job Doug and Ashley perhaps you could pick up some white paint and that would clean up the walls. Usually at the restore you can get some for cheap!
I'm glad you found our channel and subscribed. We will be doing a full renovation of the single-wide we just bought and I hope our videos will be helpful for you :)
If you have a Habitat for Humanity Restore near they have fantastic things for sale, it would be worth taking a look, since you will be doing so much more work! You're doing great!
This one actually looks to be in pretty good shape for its age, I’ve seen 10 year old mobile homes in worse condition. I think mobile homes get a bad rep simply because many people buy them and trash them. Anything will last if you take care of it and maintain it.
More videos of us working on this mobile home here ➤➤ ruclips.net/p/PLB6I6KoGYpp7H8ZBJEHzJmLxuSlI3DyJT
Thanks for your videos they're very helpful for me question do I need to buy a special toilet for a mobile home
@@franfoersteranthony5055 Thank you! Any toilet will be fine :)
Thanks for your help I have been widowed recently and from a home I built with my husband I was the main contractor and it came out pretty good A 4000 square feet had to leave and I moved into a trailer which is totally a different animal everything is different an old trailer.

With all of the hard work Doug has done, he has saved all of you a lot of money. Also, he knows how to cook, sew, iron and who knows what else.
The vinyl floor looks great. Like the color a lot better. Great makeover !
It's looking great I had to laugh at the water valves to the washer being left on glad to see I'm not the only one that forgets things
You really can't help but laugh. I said it recently in a previous video...when you work when you are tired you make mistakes. But we worked through it, overcame the issues, and got it done.
Always save the old vinyl or linoleum tear it out in one piece and trace it on top of the new linoleum so there’s no measuring saves a bunch of time
Yall are so cute together, love the spirit your wife has. Comes off as loving. I'm trying to live a life of feeling free n not stressed.
Just a couple of tips. 1...get a air tired dolly and some small ratchet straps for moving appliances. Won't tear your floors and more importantly your back. 2..you gotta wear gloves to protect yourself. I put a toilet in new construction at a mall and the sewer line 2nd connected to public restrooms which were already in use. When I tightened the cap nuts the stud came through the dome of the nut...like a can lid so I just thought I'd quick peel it off with my thumb. The brass did not bend but instead cut a perfect scoop out of my thumb. I peroxide it and bandaged it and continued my install. Next day I had to go to the Dr. and found out I had sepsis and he wanted to admit me for intravenous antibiotics. I was under deadline for Grand Opening so I refused so doc gave me some horse pills that worked. But today there are so many diseases like hepatitis and others you must protect yourself. I used to think I was bullet proof too buuut. 3.. When caulking it works to keep a lil bowl of water with dish soap in it and dip your finger in it to smooth your bead....nice clean bead and always be sure to cut your tip on caulk small so not a glob as you smooth the bead. Just some tips from an old man in Michigan...been there done that.....didn't even get a T-shirt
Doug and Ashley you're a mighty duo. The bathroom looks awesome.
Doug & Ashley, the Arts & Entertainment Network should give you a program call "Flip this Mobile Home", since you are doing such a masterful remodel and soon to be selling. The bathroom/laundry room is soooo much nicer, great job!
Yes that will be cool 😎
Heck yeah! They should send them some videos!!!!!
We restored a mobile home in Florida that we use for a vacation home! Did most of the work ourselves over the years! We painted the paneling to give a fresh, clean feeling. Worked great!!

Not the nicest job to have to tackle, but you did it and did it well. It looks great! It reminded me of the trailer we used to have, about 30 years ago.

Synthia McBride I was thinking the same thing!
So helpful! I have a vintage 90’s trailer and the toilet needs to come out. Now I know what’s ahead.
You will attack anything. Doug you really are an inspiration! You are both just go getters and I like it! Really nice flooring. Great job!!!
Awesome job guys! I love the accident with the water. You guys are so real. I’m looking forward to the new chicks. Hope most of them hatch
Nice job! Water flying across the bathroom. "You forgot to turn off the faucets! Why didn't you think of that? Why didn't you?" Baaaa! Haaaa! Sounds like my bride and me!
Thank God for men! You, my, dear, have one of the best husbands. I am so glad you have gloves on. I was a little concern earlier. the bathroom is looking great. Great Job you two!
Bracketville August - I thought the same when he jumped over the dryer. 😊

ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIC JOB YOU TWO!!!! WONDERFUL OUTCOME. BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL.
99% better! All repairs the average buyer dreads, and done right. Bless you!
Amazing job done ! Congratulations to both of you. Take care. 😊👍👍👍
Great looking bathroom DIY, thanks for sharing.
You're so smart! You can do it all-plumbing, carpentry, electrical. Saves so much money too.
By staying true to the colours and design, you essentially are restoring your home to its original condition.
You are doing a remarkable job, you should both be very proud of what you are accomplishing.
A couple that can work together like that is truly blessed. Keep up that amazing work.

Thanks! I like that idea of using the car wax on the shower! Just have to do a little more cleaning and scrubbing and we may just do that!
Hey, dont blame Ashley, she didnt unhook the washer, did she. lol it was funny..great job. Lookin good. It does an older heart good to see a young couple doing something good for the next owners of your property. 👍👍 🖖🖖
Turn them into planters!! 😂😂😂. Y’all are cute! You could paint that bathroom paneling also and make it look like a whole new room! GREAT JOB 👍👍
I would totally paint that bathroom.............it would really brighten it up. You did a fantastic job on the repairs you did! So much better already :)

I'm amazed at how great you two are fixing these thing up and making them functional again for such little $. Think about adding some nice paint to that paneling, would brighten it up even more and you can use some appliance paint to freshen up those appliances. Overall, very impressive work.

Fantastic job on the bathroom renos. It looks great!
I am impressed! It looks so nice and clean. You both did a great job!
We covered the counters in our bathroom with Contact paper and it has held up great for years.
I love the shower!! This a very interesting vid considering I went through this about 30 yrs ago..
Great job! I love your bargains and how you just go for it. I agree on color on the backsplash. And, y'all are so funny and real. I love the "bloopers" being left in.....the water spraying out.

For behind the sink they have peel and stick glass like tiles
Awesome job!! Looks great!
Wow! You both are so great. Most worry about making things look good, but you two work on the important things first. Very wise.
Fantastic job on the bathroom repairs.
Oh no! The water from the washer hook-up. Definitely have changed out the countertop, backsplash, and bathroom cabinets, too. Love the upgrades. Really makes a tired place look fresh and inviting.

I also live in a mobile home and I'm remodeling all of it, I know it makes me happy to see it after I'm done with every one of the projects
Love it when a plan comes together, look a water fall...Kool
Had too LOL when you turned water on and came out washer supply :)
I'm wondering if you noticed any of you getting sick from the mold you didn't know you had... I would have ended up in the hospital with my asthmatic issues! You two make it look so smooth and easy.

A 2 wheel cart can be your friend. Or a 4 wheel dolly is great as well.
You two have some Mad Skills, I wished I could knockoff some of the stuff on my Honey-Do-List...Love your videos and your cute little family

You have a great talent for remodeling!
You two are powerhouse renovators!!! Great job!!!!!
Oh my gosh you both are awesome at figuring things out together, you are so inspiring. Trial and error.
Very impressive job! Plus, I love it at the end when she said "the camera is still rolling!" LOL You guys are too cute!
looks great! I would have painted the cupboards, that's me though ; )
Great job guys but you guys always do good work. And I always enjoy watching your DIY projects.
Really do like how you remodeled your bathroom! WOW!! Looks so different. Beautiful.
Wow! Looks amazing! Another great job guys 😉
I'm very impressed with the improvements you made in your bathroom!!! Looking great!
Wonderful bathroom makeover! I’m interested in how you fix the chip in the counter top! 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
It really helps me watching your videos, cause I don't know much about mobile homes: plus my mobile home is a 1973 single wide skyline
I'm glad you found our channel and subscribed. We will be doing a full renovation of the single-wide we just bought and I hope our videos will be helpful for you :)
Looks great!
You're some man Doug! I wouldn't know where to begin to tackle a job like that. 👍😀👏👏👏Well done!
If you have a Habitat for Humanity Restore near they have fantastic things for sale, it would be worth taking a look, since you will be doing so much more work! You're doing great!
This one actually looks to be in pretty good shape for its age, I’ve seen 10 year old mobile homes in worse condition. I think mobile homes get a bad rep simply because many people buy them and trash them. Anything will last if you take care of it and maintain it.
