- In this video I show you how I repair a rotten rim joist on the Abandoned Mobile Home Project.
This is a common repair on older mobile homes. This home is 40 years old. It looks a lot worse than it is.

Thank you for showing this! Much appreciated. My husband and I will be moving into a mobile home after living in block homes our whole lives and I was wondering about mobile home repairs. #1 on the list: take care of leaks immediately! lol Blessings!
If it’s made of wood you can fix it
Drew's Roofing and Home Repair, thanks for watching and commenting. Appreciate you showing up here. 🙂 I love your channel. Been watching you for years. You are on my recommended channels list for my viewers.
Looks fantastic, Kent! I don't think there's a problem you can't fix. I look at that mess and think it's beyond help. And then you just fix it no sweat. I love it.
Becki, thank you! 🙂
finely a video showing how its done thank you i need this done to my mobile home asap my front door is sagging cant open it more then almost half way open
This is exactly what I'm doing now with mine. So far, on a 65' home, I'm into 20' of rim board. Thanks for your videos 😅
We’re about to tackle this. Any concerns with sagging? I figure not, because it’s not really load bearing?
@@bennybongosbigolebonanza894 If you build a supporting interior wall, give it a 1-2" extra lift, then when you take out the wall it will settle back.

Wow! I was lucky my 1972 model was fine except the bathroom, which was easy. That's some crazy rot.
Very informative. Thanks!
I live in a 1982 trailer the work you do is most informative. Hope all is well after the floods.
Hi, nadine. I am glad to hear you find the videos helpful. We are all fine, waiting for the next disaster! 😯
Mercy..mine have steel joists every 4 feet. Bolts are rusted tight! Guess a grinder take em off. Itll be a 3 man job and I'm only 62, but i may tackle it piecemeal. I just need a few years and some insanity lol.
Looks awesome great job
That definitely needs fixing lol oh my God you are the man for the job
Hi, Drew. Thanks! 🙂
I'm glad I found this video. I have a similar problem. Very useful information. I subbed you.
commonsensehill, thanks! I'm glad you found this useful. 🙂

Well Done
Joe, thank you. 🙂
Great video!! Thanks for sharing.
We have this problem. They didn’t hang the siding below it and our cinder block foundation skirting so water ran in. Nice that it’s not load bearing and TOO much of a structural issue.
What is the red tape?
p.s. I've liked and subscribed. Can you please tell me if it's easy enough to pull aside the skirting and to look under a mobile home and to pretty easily see if there is wood rot or termite damage? Thanks a bunch!
Do you have a video of jacking the trusses off the wall to replace the bottom plate? My trusses are scissor, and Im not sure how to place the temporary header to safely jack them up. Can I jack three studs up from the outside by bolting 2x8's to them without the jacks kicking out?
Can call the rim joist a band board as well
This is my next project. I have 5 sections I have to replace then fix the underside of the trailer.
How do I replace the composite board underneath the sill plate with osb? Am I okay to just use an oscillating saw to remove it? Will the studs move if I cut it out before replacing it?
Yikes is right
How did the new floor come out level with that mess?
Great job, you do great work.
Is this going to be your home ?. Or are you just fixing it up to sell ?.
Full Body Joe, thank you. I am fixing this one up to sell. This is the fourth project like this that I have done.
wish you would've shown how you got the 2x8 up by yourself, that is one of the most difficult parts when I'm doing it. Also, would like to know your thoughts on best thing to do when levelling a trailer isn't an option but repairs still have to be done (like what are minimum parts to fix). Also, how did you take care of the mold?
I've done this before by myself you have to think outside the box and be very limber
I just did this on a 80' trailer in Waverly TN that was flooded out. I stumbled onto your channel looking at jacking this trailer up so it can't flood again.
Very interesting. And I immediately noticed your in WA state. Somewhere around Puyallup I'm assuming. I grew up in Bellingham... but live outside of Nashville TN now.
Cool channel.
My sister in Moutlake Terrace needs to watch this stuff.
Forrest Lee, thanks for watching and commenting. We are actually in British Columbia, Canada. 🙂
Good afternoon, Sir!
I found your vid because I am getting ready to do the exact same thing to my mother's mobile home. The header rotted due to the prior owner attaching a small deck directly it under the back door and it trapped moisture. Little nervous to say the least, any insider tips/hints you can give me for this job? If not, I'm just going to follow your vid.
Hi, Keith. The video pretty much covers it. Just use it as a guide and you should be good. It looks intimidating but really, it's not that difficult. Just make sure that you take the steps to weather proof things as you put it back together using the tarpaper and flashings.
@@BCRenovationMagazine Thank you very much for the reply. Once I got into it, I found out it went a little deeper than I thought it did.
I have to put some of those sisters along the stringers. No it's not too bad so far but I'll feel so much better when it's done. Thank you again
@@kemobam , sounds like you have a good handle on this. All the best to you on this project. That's awesome that you are helping your Mom like this.
The way you attached the rim board to the floor joist will it be strong enough to attach a ledger board for a deck?
Chopshop, the restored rim board would be strong enough to support a ledger board for a deck, but it is recommended that decks be built entirely self supporting. In fact, here it is a code requirement.
I explain how we make our decks self-supporting in this video: ruclips.net/video/iLFgrp5UbPc/видео.html
where r u located?

nice work@@BCRenovationMagazine
@@tommycall355 Tommy, thanks! 🙂
He is smart man. I learned a pot from him. I had repeatedly match him. I do hear him.
Great video, any tips on replacing the rim board on a corner? Would it need any extra support before cutting?
Just completed the same but with the skin on.
How?
Curious how that went, I’m getting ready to tackle the same thing and wanting to save the skin
