I feel like I’ve stepped back in time to the early 70’s Schult mobile home that I bought at age19 in 1984 . Back then it was considered the Cadillac of mobile homes. I saw many similarities including the paneling, windows, awnings, and the original towel bar in the bathroom. The plastic roosters on the kitchen cabinets were exactly the same! Although it’s a little rough it was nice to see it again. It was some of the happiest years of my life.
@@LisaCunninghamLieveEnterprises they take the old ones out and transport them to mexico. No usa laws there. Then they install a new manufactured home on the lot. The old one across the street sold for $170. The new owner paid 190 for the lot and 260 for the new home. She has to pay for landscaping and fence...
The front kitchen area where the table and chairs will go seems like it gets a lot of nice light, between the front bay window, and the other window. Looks like it would be a nice place to sit in the morning and enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning sun, and that front counter/cabinet arrangement would be a great place to keep dishes, flatware and dining items, if the dinning table is right there. BTW, those chickens on the cabinets are so kitschy that I actually sort of like them! lol
Thank you for sending us a sweet comment. We actually made a plaque of the chickens and inscribed "The Chicken House" and hung it up in the kitchen. We did an after video.
This looks like my 1968 Schult mobile home. It a tip-out in the living room and a 3rd door in kitchen and the bay window in the kitchen. This is why I love the homes from back then, you could look at it and know who the manufacturer is.
I have a 1974 Elliot mobile home. It's a 14x65, 2 bedroom 2 bath. It has the bedrooms on each end, both bedrooms have bay windows. I took my furnace out and made a pantry where it was. I had to have it replumbed with pex. It is a really solid made home. It has the same kind of paneling as yours and same ceiling
I spent my first 19 years in trailers and after having an apartment for about 2 years, went back in a trailer for 2 and haven’t been in once since (1968-1992 altogether). I look at the floor in that bathroom and it had frozen and burst pipes at some point and/or more plumbing problems. Backflowed septic, etc. That’s why that floor is replaced. Decades ago, they could actually have made quality trailers that had plywood instead of particleboard (trash) that only has to get soaked once and it’s ruined, they could’ve used real paneling instead 2mm thick garbage you can cut through with a carpet knife. But they didn’t. Renovating these is a joke. Anyone that actually buys one needs their head examined. If you get one in this condition that is NOT in a trailerpark, it might be worth it. But to buy cheap and fix up and sell them? I wouldn’t buy it.
You are right to much of what you pointed out. We do have tenants who need housing. When we replace particle boards, it is with plywood. We do not put back what the manufacturer out in. All in all this ends up being a solution to assist others with not having to pay sky rocketing rents. :) We appreciate your comment.
@@LisaCunninghamLieveEnterprises I think that’s pretty cool! And, yeah, when I was born, my parents brought me home to a small trailer that was from somewhere in the mid-1950s to early 60s. Then they purchased a new 1971 or 1972 Homette and I was in that one until I was 14. Spent 10-11 in that one. Then went on to the last one. It’s really frustrating because the concept is great! If they would’ve just used quality plywood and Marine Grade in kitchen, bathroom(s) and laundry areas and had better paneling, it would have been so much better. You’re repairing it right!
@@rogueandvagabondrabbit5837 Hopefully you are able to find some of our finished rehab work videos. When we just started we use our phones to record, so some recordings are not as well done as recent ones. If these homes are taken care of, yes they can be livable for a long time. Have a great day! Great talking with you. ;)
I don't know of anyone who is repairing a trailer that would go back to using those cheap materials. But, those materials were used because people needed cheap, affordable and quick housing. No one said they were the Taj Mahal in a 12 x 60 box, but they were needed. If you don't think they're worth your time, then don't buy them but don't trash talk people who rely on them for housing and are doing the best they can.
Hi. Each state's requirements are different regarding mobile homes. If we had to move the home to another location, new set up etc, then yes, an inspection would be needed. We did not need to go through all of this because it stayed. We did replace all the old plumbing with new pex. The wiring was fine. We put in all new light fixtures, sinks, toilet, tub abd surround, partial kitchen cabinets, flooring, carpet, water heater, new efficient furnace, replaced some windows, new hood vent over stove, new stove and refrig, painted all walls/ panels etc... We do have a walkthrough video "after" rehab prior to renting this out. We had a metal peaked roof replacement costing almost 5k put on after 1.5 years of a tenant living in there. An old dead pine tree from another lot fell on the kitchen roof area and caved it in along with a hugh hole. Luckily tenant was not there when it happened.
@@LisaCunninghamLieveEnterprises thank you for replying. All in all, do you think it was worth it? I’ve been thinking about renovating a double wide 3 bedroom 2 bath with a deck. Just about everything needs to be redone. The alternative is to demo it at a cost of $6,000.
@@Taking_Back_Thyme If you are going to live in this home as your forever home, its paid off, it's worth it. If you are going to sell it down the road, then consider age of home. MH's are like a car. Once pulled off the lot, depreciation starts. What you put into these home, you have to consider the possibility of not getting all the $ back you put into it IF you do sell. Just some things to ponder on. Hope this helps. ☺
i know im late tot he party, but wondering how much it was to replace all the plumbing to pex? im trying to purcahse a 1968 mobile home with old aluminum wiring and coper plumbing.
Actually the materials were not that expensive. It is usually the labor. The flexible pex, you can even purchase red lines and blue lines. So depending on how many water lines to hook up, ex: sinks, tubs it's really not that hard to run under the home. HomeDepot and or Lowes sites sometimes have videos on how to...even other RUclips channels.
@@LisaCunninghamLieveEnterprises thank you for your reply. Unfortunately , this mobile sits too low to the ground so we are unable to craw under, any work will have to done on top, but the floors might need replaced anyway. thanks again!
I wouldnt wast a dollar on a mobile home that has no value by the time you put all the money in it it still isn't worth nothing waste of time and money
TY for your feed back. These mobile homes are worth fixing. That's our business. We provide affordable housing for families and individuals. When you invest, repair homes like these and take care of them, worth every dime. Residual income. Long term rentals.
NEVER GIVE UP ON THE OLD THAT INCLUDES CARS, HOMES, LAND, PEOPLE, ANIMALS, AND YES MOBILE HOMES LOL! I know 5 families right now that have remodeled mobiles 1979, 1980, 1985 (me), 1995, and 1991. All paid cash for the home and remodeled it up to code! All but 2 are retired and started traveling after the remodel. One person bought 5arces of land moved their small nice home on it after saving money for 4yrs. Another was a RN finishing school to become a nurse practitioner and sold hers for $60,000! She paid $2,000 for it! I owned a brick home, neighborhood got bad so i sold it, moved into an apartment, and then bought a trailer. Sometimes that's a person's only option for shelter. My parents had a 5 bedroom 2 bathroom huge home when i was growing up and paid it off. THEY DECIDED TO SELL AND BOUGHT A NICE 2BED 2BATH trailer CASH! They have a nice nest egg, brand new home on one acre, and both are retired no note. They wish they would've done this earlier like im doing in my 40's. Please don't count out old things! I work in healthcare I've learned NEVER give up or underestimate ANYTHING! I know you've seen old classic cars redone worth more than these new model cars today.

Put in framing for grab bars for the shower tub.,for older people.
IF we have a senior that would be moving in and s/he requests this, then yes, we would. Otherwise not at this time.
@@LisaCunninghamLieveEnterprises easier know then trying to don't later with the framing , good luck.

To bad about the chickens i really like chickens. i think you should paint chickens a light color so they show up
Yes, the chickens were cute. I saved them and made a chicken coop. 😉
I’m with you Angela ...I thought the chickens were the best part of the house!
