- In this video I show the process of removing the upper tin trim and rolled metal sheets that had covered the front portion of my old trashed mobile home. Enjoy!

Bless your heart. You are working so hard and all by yourself. You have my utmost admiration! Can’t wait to see the end results!
Thank you so much! That means a lot!
👍
Wow, it’s really coming along. Once the roof goes on the rest will come together pretty quickly and it’ll practically be brand new
Yeah, it will feel like an actual house again once the roof is up there!
I like your videos
Thanks Lisa, it helps to keep me sharing with y'all!
Looking really good. The new roof will be a huge step in the rebuild....
You aint kidding, especially now that the rains have returned!
. 🙇🏻♂️😥I know. Seems like it Ain't stopped in East pointe ,Mi
@@paulbetka2966 Yeah, east of the Rockies have been getting all the rain since summer. The west has been super dry but up here in the Northwest the spigot has been turned on.
🙄 No roof.. better hurry... winter ❄ is coming. Sure is a lot of work. Keep going. No time to stop. God bless
Thank ya much! Yeah, it's getting cold and wet.
Your work show us what can be done to reuse order mobile homes. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome!
Sincerely appreciate you for documenting this truss fix. Some jackA$$ sheet rocked my living room ceiling… unfortunately a bottom chord broke. Now I know what to expect and how to.
Thank you
Really appreciate that! Yeah, if I did it all over again, I'd probably just use plywood pieces instead of having to press in those nail plates. If you just have a few to do, I'd go for the plywood plate option. Best of luck!
You will have a all new home soon.
Yes yes! I hope so!
Hun you have got a lot of work ahead of you before winter hits. I'm looking forward to watching it all.
Thanks! Yeah, I got about 24 feet of the roof replaced and about 20 more feet to go, of the open section anyway. It's just plywood and tarp for now on that built part but at least it's dry in that part. Once the high's don't reach out of the 40's I usually take the winter off till late February or early March. So I hope to at least get a few more days out there to get that last 20 feet covered before I hibernate.
Wow!! I've been tearing off layers and layers of crud on my roof today and was completely depressed until I watched your video. Nicely done! You have given me hope :)
Glad I could help! :)
Yeah me too. I'm knee deep in a flood victim trailer. And its a heck of a lot better shape than this one! Everybody thinks I'm nuts. But it CAN BE FIXED!
Wow nice job! Im doing about the same with mine, but I sure hope I dont have to do the roof too LOL
Yeah, this is a brutal job for sure. ;)
Respect to you. That’s some hard work. Looking good!
Thank ya much!
You are going to have a new house when you get through lol.
For real!
enjoy the watch.....keep up the good work.
Always much appreciated! Thanks!
Lots of work but looking good. New roof will be awesome.
I'm hoping so! Thanks!
Another amazing video 😀 im exited to see the new trusses you made installed. Greetings from Iceland 😀
Always happy to see my international viewers! ;)
Cut off Wheel on a Grinder and Mobile home roofing and siding is the BEST way to remove metal.
Thanks for that but I ended up finding a really cheap electric metal sheer and it snipped right through the roofing like butter. Best $30 I’ve spent in a while.
@@thesomewhathandyman9400 That works too lol. I'm enjoying these Series of video you did!
@@trxtech3010 much appreciated! Should have some new ones up soon. Just moved into the place even though it’s only about half done. Got my computer over last week so I can now work on some new vids.
@@thesomewhathandyman9400 Oh nice! I will have to set my Mobile Home floor repair videos to Public again if you wanna go check them out. I'll do that now and share you a video link.

ill say it for ya..grey w.... no i wont lookin good if ya dont need a roof lol
Ha! Took me a second there.
Hey Mr Handy Man : What makes you think that some of your viewers don't enjoy seeing you shirtless ??
Haha! It's just not the same body as it was when I was in my 20's or 30's!
Great work ser. My question is how seriously do you take asbestos?? I got a 60s mobile home I already did a lot of work myself but wanted to share thoughts with a builder. Thanks
In my place I have not really worried about asbestos being that it was made in 83 so I'm sure the linoleum didn't have it. I did question if the ceiling panels had it because they were that weird mesh type fibers but only enough to wear a standard respirator while taking them down. Other than those two areas, not really any other areas that could of had it. If your's is from the 60's I'd worry about the linoleum. To remedy that, just try to make sure they are damp or wet when you take them up. So long as it doesn't go airborne you should be good, and just bag them all up and tape the bags shut. Or you know, get a piece tested. Not sure how to go about doing that though.
Dang.. not much left now. Are you going to get roof and walls done before winter arrives ?
It's going to be close. I won't have the full roof done but I hope to get the part that's missing finished enough to put a tarp up but it all depends on the weather cooperating with me on the days I have available to go out there and work.
@@thesomewhathandyman9400 I hope you make it.
A nibbler would have made that job way easier. Milwaukee makes the best.
Thanks! But then I'd go against doing things out of step or the hard way, which seems to be my standard operating procedure! Ha! :)
🤞👍🏻👍🏻
Angle grinder for roof
Thanks! I don't think the metal is thick enough on these types of roofs to need an angle grinder but I did end up getting a metal cutting tool and that thing went through this tin like butter and it wasn't even more than like $29 or something like that. Cheers!
🤯🤯🤯🤯😱😱😱😱 to much work 💪👷
You're not wrong! ;)
You really need double cuts to cut the sheet metal.
Yeah I ended up buying an electric metal sheet so when I finally get to the back half, it will be like butter. Ha!
All the money you going to have in lumber and we building this mobile home wouldn't have been better just a find a little bit better mobile home that doesn't need much work
I hear you. Thankfully lumber has gone down in price a bit and I constantly look for deals on the used marketplace. As far as finding a better mobile, or even just removing this and building a stick built home, it was all about cost and what was available. This was the cheapest property in my area that I was able to find on it's own land. Plus it just costs so much here to move mobile's. My sing'e wide is grandfathered in the neighborhood so I couldn't replace it with another single and to fit a double wide I would have to excavate a wider pad which would have cost a ton. Plus it would have cost me about ten grand just to get this one removed and deliver a double, plus the cost of said home, of which I'm sure I would have found one that still needed a lot of work to remodel. Yes, this one needed a lot more work than I had hoped as it has indeed turned into a complete rebuild and not just a remodel. But the rebuild will cost me about 20-25K and I'll have a basically brand new home when I'm done. Hope that helps explain it. Maybe I'll make a video about that as you're not the first to wonder such things.
@@thesomewhathandyman9400 Thats the situation I am here in SC. Nothing to rent, all the sales are meh. Have a chance to rebuild / remodel a single wide myself, a small 11x35x7 foot one. If I was to buy I still would have to fix a bit since everything seems to either be pristine and cost way above my budget or a lot have work to be done and are still a lot of money. I will be renovating though, then moving to a lot. Only because I am renovating a trailer on my sister and brother-in-law's property while staying with them. They provided it as-is for a few thousand.
@@mr00anderson Nice! Best of luck on your rebuild!
Not much left of the old girl when you take that much stuff off......yikes
For real. I think I might have about 4 original wall 2x4's on the framing and maybe just over half the original floor joists. The rest of the lumber is all new. The exit plumbing is about the only original system left in the house. I opted this way as it was the cheapest option for me to go. Most labor intensive way though, that's for sure.
