Ashley leaning around , giving Coco Chanel vibes 🙌🏼❤️. Good video!! I am for the roof- over!
I know right?! Loving it!! ❤🎉
And what cute bangs! Love them.
I’ve been meaning Ashley, to say how much I like your new hair style, very nice look for you.
Loved the kitties smacking each other, lol.
I really like Ashley’s new hairstyle. I also like the highlights in her hair, very attractive.
I see you now have 2 kittens to take home! lol! I love 💕 to watch kittens play like they were. They’ll make good pets! lol!
Ashley you look like a Hollywood movie star with your hat and sunglasses on. LOL!
Please video the whole job of pressure washing the siding. I love pressure washing videos, they are SO satisfying. ❤
My brother in law did a lot of renovation to the trailer they lived in. When he started working on the hallway bathroom he stripped out much of the under insulation to work on pipes. His plan was to reinsulate with greater r value. While he was in the process of stripping the insulation but ran out of daylight my sister kept telling him she could hear cats meowing. He laughed at her. Then when he removed the last bit of under insulation he found out a stray mama cat had crawled up in there to have her kittens where it was warmer than the ground here in NW WI.
I vote for a new metal roof, makes sense to me. You have come so far with the reno so far, you'll save time and energy going with a new roof. love seeing you all, it makes this old lady's day.
Doug, I think Ashley and the cats just took over the show!
Look8ng good nice and clean job site❤
Sister calico kitties?
Oh man!
So adorable!
Thanks! I've learned to trust anything you do, I know you think things through Doug.
Your bush looks like an Azaelia. Can’t wait to see the siding cleaned.
Have you talked to your neighbor that owns the cats? If they don’t get them spayed soon you’re both gonna have kittens.
If you asked your members I’m sure you’d get enough donations to have the spayings done.
We haven't brought it up. They are still just kittens. I don't know what their plans are for getting them spayed.
all the work you are putting into the place its probably best to do a roof over so you know its done right and wont leak
There’s a channel called Kyles Cabin I watch and he bought a piece of property with a trailer on it and he’s going to tear it down and I thought, Doug would make that beautiful again!
Wise decisions. I’m glad you were careful so you didn’t fall off the roof. And I agree new roof now instead of later. Take care.
I was thinking Ashley looked like a movie star with that hat and sun glasses leaning against the scaffolding
It's better to have the metal roof put on before you start the finishing process inside. We were lucky when we bought ours the roof had been taken care of with the coating put on throughout the years. So it lasted from 88 untill maybe 2022 when we added our porches and then covered the house and the porches with metal. You will save time and money in the long run. Love to you all!❤
My husband rebuilt our roof with metal panels and I've never been so happy.
Hi family,
Wow very exciting getting the installation in.
Y’all know best what path you need to take
on the roof, as the old saying is, follow your gut!
No regrets later!
Kitties so cute. Ashley still loving your hair!
Looks so nice.
Stay safe, happy and God Bless ❤
Ok, Doug, you lost me at “The screen door was screwed shut.” You know best about insulation!😊
But I want to know who is that beautiful young lady standing next to you? She really is cute with the sunglasses & the new hairstyle!❤😊
Ashley, I really like the bangs…they’re so cute!
Loving Ashleys hair cut! She is such a cutie. You guys amaze me love your channel.
The kitty found an adorable new kitty friend ❤❤😊
I have a bush like that that randomly grew in my yard. The flowers are so pretty. I have bees also. The cats look related but it's funny how one is long-haired and one look short-haired.
I think you should do the roof once and do it right the first time. If you have the money to do so.
Great video as always!!
Looks nice down there, we are in a snow storm lol
Ashley, your new hair style and those new shades... You could pass for a young Audrey Hepburn! Beautiful - as always! Power washing is soooo satisfying! ❤❤❤
It sure took the crud off the siding. I figured the batteries would have lasted a little longer. If you decide to return it check out the plug in kind. You'll have to install a outlet and run an extension cord but you won't have to worry about batteries going dead too soon. Just a thought.
I'll try it out on the siding before making a decision. It worked good. But my 4ah batteries sure drained fast on high setting. But then again, all of my tools drain pretty fast when run continuously so I'm not super shocked by that.
I love Ashley’s “ let him do his talking” attitude back there.
I think a new roof is better than a repaired one save a lot of time and money . I know you’ll make the right choice. The inside looks great. A lot of hard work went into that you guys are a perfect team . God Bless your beautiful family.
Been there. Sometimes, the fork in the road and a new direction is best. I just started working on a 1970s trailer/MH and I wish I had the money to strip it bare and fix it like you did. The midline is sinking and I don't know what to do. It is a rental, but still, people deserve a decent place to live. It's not a dump, it is just dated. Thanks guys for keeping me motivated. Every time I work on it, I think of you.
Ashley looks so cute with her hat and sunglasses! The kitties really love visiting you guys, they are so adorable
That great this may help in the heat coming up.
You guys are so much more organized on this build ❤ it.
Anytime you work on roofs it Rains lol😂.
Yeah, roof over sounds like the plan! Happy Hair Cut, Ashley, lovin the bangs!
Cheer up kids! Sometimes things do not work out. go back to the planning board and you will figure out the best thing you can do! Take care of yourselves!
a wise man knows when to implement Plan B
Those are gorgeous cats
they add value LOL
That power washer is amazing! 👍
I think the roof over is the better choice- for both time and money. Ashley has a chic vibe today ! ❤
Pressure washer will come in handy for many things. I know you and Ashley will make wise decisions about the roof. I love seeing the kittens in the video.
I have no idea about what you're doing or why, I just enjoy watching the progress you make on each project. Beautifully colored cats, and flowers, too. That was cool seeing the power washer clean the side of the trailer. It'll be fun to watch you clean the whole thing and then paint it.
Ash love the bangs.....you look like Belle's sister now!
Ashley I love your hair. I think it’s best to do metal roof. I was impressed with the pressure washer. Enjoy every step. Keep the video’s coming!
I learned that if you go around the trailer soaking it with a product called s&h chemical , which is bleach and soap, then go back around rinsing, you’ll be amazed how good it turns out. It’s called low pressure washing.
😍 Love the hair cut Ashley, those sunglasses look so good on you. 😎
I had been under the impression that you planned to install a new metal roof over the existing. That really seems like the way to go, especially as you have demonstrated the skills to do it well. It is not nearly as complex a job as the one you did on your home.
Give everything a spray down with a mold/algae spray and let it sit before using the pressure washer on it. I have a "concrete cleaning" solution I run through my pressure washer on its lowest setting and let it soak everything for 15-20 minutes. Then come back with full power and let it rip
That's what we like about your videos; you are good at explaining all you do, and the logic behind your plans!
I always enjoy watching your family's renovating adventures! God bless yous!
I best to start from top to bottom, roof first because it will protect all the projects from getting ruin by rains
Great idea to reevaluate the roof repair seems like a good plan.
Ashley your hair looked so pretty today!
A new roof is probably the best move. I have installed peel and stick rolled roofing on mobile homes with metal roofs. It works amazingly well. Also quiets the roof down significantly during rain and windstorms.
That's a good idea. Perfect application for it.
I agree Doug just do the roof now. You are right by valuing your energy.
I have an outbuilding that was built out of recycled materials. Crazy construction and not plumb at all. A roofer refused to reroof it when it developed a horrible leak. He told me to get some friends and simply put new metal roofing on top of the leaking metal roofing. That's what i did. A neighbor did the same thing on his self-built house when his metal roofing kept leaking. Just covered it over with new metal roofing.
Holy moly that power washer really worked quick on the siding.
Sensible decision regarding the roof 👍🏼and isn’t it lovely that your feline neighbours love to visit you 😊
Ashley looks very pretty today. The kIttens are so Cute and playful. I am glad you are going with a new roof, it looked awful. You will be glad you did in the long run.
Just rent a pressure washer, than apply a rubber sealant. I did that for my mother 20 years ago and the new owners still have not had any issues. Key is to prime first, after pressure washing and apply a thick coating only during morning hours. Roof can not be hot. God Bless.
this is a great idea!
Im not an expert but here is what would want. Finish power washing. Let it dry then put some kind of spray or roll on sealant. Nothing expensive. Then roof over. But your decision is what counts. ❤❤❤❤
Changing plans, is okay. It's like John Lennon said...Life, is what happens, while you're busy making other plans.
I know you put alot of thought and pray in what yall do. It will be a good decision....love your sunshades Ashley...hugs
New roofing is a good idea 👍🏻
Putting the roof on you definitely don't want leaks and messing up all that wonderful insulation you kids have come a long way with your mobile home and it's really looking great
One thing you could do when you are installing a new roof is space it sligly away from the old roof (basicly screw in stringers horizontally and across the roofframes and lay on plywood or osb and go over that with roofing felt or steel roofing , doing it this way creates an airgap betwee the two roofs wish helps a LOT keeping the sun beting down on it from heating up the interior , You can allso install nice eves to the sides and give the double wide more of a house feel , just make sore you dont go too wide as it still needs to be able to be transported , i remember one channel that had there home moved from one state to another and they had to take a saw to their roof because the trailer ended up too wide to be moved without a special licence , he made it wider to stop rainwater comming off the roof from running down the sides of the trailer
The cats were so cute, hopping and playing around keeping you guys company! So wholesome to watch 🩷
Your thoughts regarding the roof makes sense to me. I was super impressed with the results of the power washer on the siding! Even before painting, once power washed it’s going to look like new! Also you guys seem to be cat magnets!! They just love you guys!! Just like all the cats that came to you in Indiana(?)!! I think I see your own cat in your family’s future 🐈!
Hi Doug Ashley Belle & Maverick,I was so happy to see you purchased a pressure washer.You are an amazing couple & family.❤
I'm in northern Wisconsin. I had a metal roof put on my MH. I went with a 4 inch overhang. If I was doing it again I would give serious consideration to a 6 inch overhang. 🖖
I don’t know anything about roofs. Im thinking that it is, or soon will be, hot where you are. And that Florida heat is bad. Ashley, I love your new shades. And it looks like you have bangs now. I love it.
Ashley looks so cool in the background.......
Hi Ashley and Doug, getting the roof done now is a good idea. Will save you time and effort in the long run. The cat’s must hear your bus and rush over to visit you.
The roof on our old mobile home is very similar material to yours, except it doesn't have a pitch. We saved up and did a metal roof-over before starting on the inside. You are so right that you want to make sure of your roof before more investment inside. "The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry." Stay flexible, pivot when needed, go with the flow. Y'all are doing a great job.
Several months ago I had to get a new roof on my doublewide. I was very crabby thinking about the expense but I had no choice. I got three estimates and found a good highly rated company who saved me thousands. Now I don't fear rain storms anymore and enjoy listening to it fall on my new roof without regret.
Classy look Ashley. You guys do you, you do it better. Love your channel.
Speaking of insects and bugs, put a light dusting of diatomaceous earth in your wall and roof cavities before sealing them in. I would do this anywhere you can. Hope it's not too late. Was thinking about mentioning this yesterday.
Keep Doing You 🔨🌻🌵🎶
Thank you for the video. Your new roof will be great! I can't wait to watch it fall into place! Ashley you look beautiful as always...love the hat and sunnys!
Thanks for the video!
New roof now instead of later.
If you are going to Re-Roof, maybe put the new roof on using shaped metal battens that work well with corrugated iron roof panels as they give an approx. 2 inch air gap between the existing roof and new roof, further insulating the inside of the home, just so long as the built up hot air in the air gap has some way of escaping at the ridge cap peak.
Doug you are the renovation guru, what ever you decide to do I know a lot of thought has gone into your decision. Ashley you standing in the background looking like a Coco Channel model, hat and sunglasses are a perfect look❤
The more work you do, the better your mobile home looks. I'm amazed every video. 😺😺☀️
ya'll, is Doug being the job foreman on the insulation move? funny, his hands on hips supervising his laborer. I love it, made me chuckle moving along nicely
you guys always make the best choices for the circumstance. It will turn out great in the end.
Ashley, I like the new fringe. Looks really good on you.
Ashely is rocking the sunglasses!!!!! Love your videos
Good you're fixing the roof. Be a shame to have to redo anything because you didn't. Ashley you are looking good. You both are wonderful people. Peace!
Doug maybe get a Go pro and head gear clamp ❤️🇨🇦
Oh, In my opinion, I would return the battary operated pressure washer.
In the long run you would be saving time and money and headaches by replacing the roof. Patching is a good idea but you will go back to the same old problems. Like the new power sprayer it did a great job on the siding and less hard work.
Those bushes are azaleas, they're usually the first to bloom in spring, they're beautiful.
Good to see you both.🌻🌴
Ashley, today you reminded me of Natasha (of the evil couple, Boris and Natasha) on the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon 😆👏👍 also, another great work day 👍
It would be a lot of time and work for a short term fix. Best to go ahead with a new roof.
Doug, one way you can help with the heat is a carport over the entire trailer. Leave a 18 inches to 2 feet between the trailer and cover. That will cut down on so much heat!
I had an older mobile home and it needed a new roof.and I had a rubber roof put on. And I was happy with it it cost me $2,500. Put up in 1 day
Definitely, just do roof and be done with it.. so much gone into new floor etc , dont want leaks .. im feeling the same 😊
I think it's great that you can step back and reevaluate thing without freaking out
Maybe you should add a plug outlet over at the breaker panel that way you'll have some kind of electric on site
Little steps of progress Mr Doug &Ms Ashley
Roof replacement is probably the best call.
The new roof is more economical, considering the time and materials plus you would still end up putting a new roof on.
Ashley love the new haircut, very attractive on you.❤
Good call 🎉🎉well done team! 💕💕
I would roof over just because by it being as old of a trailer that is it would just be a better investment in the long term, fixing the factory roof was my grandpa's idea until he cleaned his and it wound up being trashed so he had a new roof installed. It'll save y'all money time and labor in the long run.
everybody ok over there?
Hope it's just a rest and you are enjoying an Easter break.
Take care
You deserve time off but are you ok. Been missing your videos for 6 and one-half days
It's hard to explain. We've all been sick and we have some other personal health issues going on too. Plus we have been busy with some odd things that have come up. It's been hard to get our heads together to be in the right frame of mind to do a video. And we've been trying to work out some finances to buy the roof materials. It's coming together.
Once we pull ourselves together we'll get back into the flow of things. Sorry though for keeping everyone waiting.
