- Опубликовано: 24 дек 2019
- I start installing new siding on a single wide mobile home rental, located inside my mobile home park. This was a home formally owned by a narcotic dependent woman who destroyed the home. This is the first step in a complete renovation, please subscribe to follow along with the renovation.
U make it look so simple. I work alone myself so thanks
Thanks, its not easy but it is simple.
I did this with my old place, but I was also replacing rot and rim joist while I had it open. Definitely level your stuff first! Otherwise your plywood will stair step and you will have a bitch of a time when you get to the roof
I would do some sort of vapor barrier, and hang your windows first so you have a proper seal, then side it
Oh ya. I bought mine for 5k in NH. What a fun time it’s been so far
Thanks for watching I hope you enjoyed the video. Part 2 will be on soon
Looking better already.
Thanks for watching. it will go from worst in the park to the best in the park. Part 2 coming soon
Oh yes much better.
Thanks foe sharing your knowledge thanks 🙏 thanks 🙏
Adar Noel, you are welcome, thanks for watching.
Thanks for share. It is good for help me.
Your welcome thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed the video
Nice work ^^
Thanks I am trying to get some windows in so that I can keep it warmer inside to work on the interior in the winter weather
Very good
Hey, Question: What made you decide not to go with the OSB/T1-11 combo and weather wrapping the walls before installing the new walls? This is all new to me. Thx.
cool beans
Yeah 😀
strong man
You should have kept the original window shape that would have been very pretty but more expensive
Hi. What the name of this panel you attached first to your house? You ordered them from manufacter home supply or it can be purchased in local store?
Hope he foams the walls. Or will be so drafty and unreal heating bills.
so im suffering with my mobile home here in Houston. leaks everywhere and im so fustrated with no help. so i gotta do everything on my own , so my question is take off metal and just cut siding to the size and nail it to the wood?
Yeah that’s what I did, a vapor barrier might also be recommended in your area if it’s that wet, is the roof leaking? If so the best thing to use is 100% silicone, it’s more expensive but it works amazing a few gallons will do for a single wide home
I would have saved those aluminum sidings and used them as templates for the new cuts.
Good idea, next time i might try it.
When are you going to finish this mobile home with a new video?
Just wondering why you went with wood type replacement as opposed to metal. I'm thinking of doing just the opposite. My home has wood like siding while my neighbor's is metal. Both are the same age. My wood type siding is rotting while his remains good as new. This even though I repaint every year. I just feel myself that I would have been better off to purchase a home with metal siding as opposed to the wood-like siding.
Good question, I don’t have a great answer though, it was on clearance sale at my local lumber yard lol, that’s why I did it that way, I also think it looks good, for sure metal will last longer but most likely will be more expensive.
Does adding this kind of weight to the exterior walls cause any issues? I know those mobile homes are built with close weight and structure tolerances.
Good question, this siding is much heavier than the aluminum that the home originally had, but it also adds a lot of strength to the structure because it’s more rigid, you can notice the difference when you close the doors and it’s also a quieter home with the wood siding, I also replaced the thin would paneling with drywall so that might have made a big difference also, I don’t see how the weight could cause any issues, I hope I answered your question, good day to you. 😀
Hi, thanks for vid! I have the old metal on my home and was wondering what that is your replacing it with ? Is it the T-1 I believe its called. Really need an update. Looks great by the way. 😊

Maybe put the house wrap on ? Watched another guy and he did that first😊
Shawn Klein. for sure its probably better to wrap it, especially if you are in a wet climate,
Must have switch videos. Now there talking about roofs.
Was the siding already precut for
No I had to cut the siding to fit.
arent you supposed to line it with some moisture resistant paper underneath the wood siding?
i was thinking the same thing lol
You can do that if you wish to depending on your climate it might help, I decided against it as the home was not built a vapor barrier, and I am in a very dry climate.
Dry climate? isn't that snow? I like the video, it gives me some ideas. Yes folks install 2 layers of grad D 60 minute paper behind the siding., even if you live in Arizona where you get torrential rains in the summer
no vapor barrier? your just gonna go the work again later down the road, didnt reframe for new window opening????
If you say so, I’m just going to say you misunderstand how mobile homes are built and leave it at that.

What siding do you recommend is the best ? I will be completely renovating a 1997 single wide 18'x76 using osb/plywood then waterproof wrap and final vinyl siding!!!
First time doing MH rehab
Hi - I need to purchase the type of siding you are using. In your comments, you said you used b grade and paid $16 a sheet at the local lumber yard. Please let me know what the panels are called or made of so I can try to find them in my area. Thank you!
yes my lumber yard called it grade b or shop grade T1-11, it is made out of osb and it is pre primed, if you chose to go with the T1-11 at Home Depot it will cost you double, good luck finding it because not every lumber yard sells it, but I was lucky and my local yard had it.
@@frugallandlord6974 Thank you so much for the info and the video!
With the right trim and a wide belly band T-1 11 can be really dressed up.
Do you remember the dimensions to the siding was? The thickness etc.
1/2 thick 4x8 sheets I can’t remember how many I used, maybe about 40 sheets.
Alot of people around where I live put vinyl siding on top of that metal but I dont know if is a good idea
Carpac pac, I never thought about doing that, I don’t know why it wouldn’t work.
I think I'll do on top of aluminum.. but the way u did it looks pretty good too.. those sheets are expensive like 30 bucks a piece
Carpac pac, I used b grade and paid $16 a sheet at the local lumber yard, Home Depot does not sell any b grade, I still think you could make the vinyl work too.
Any extra weight should be avoided . If you are gonna add weight I say make it matter.
@@frugallandlord6974so, you do think hanging vinyl siding over the existing aluminum panels would be ok? Would i be able to just hang with furring strips? Would i need to wrap the aluminum panels before hanging the strips and vinyl siding?
Im gonna use a stucco board, for siding, and plan on using it as the skirt
Thanks for the video
Sean Mehmood, Thanks for watching
Sean Mehmood, Thats a great idea, I used hardi siding on a stick built house, and it seems like its going to last forever and it holds the paint so long without chipping, I think its worth the extra money for sure.
Fast ...
Lol. As fast as I can. 😀
Was that how they installed the insulation from the factory? if so, that's appalling. Tons of voids that would lead to drafts and cold spots
I replaced all the insulation in this home and it stays pretty cool in the summer and warm in the winter compared to other old mobile homes I have.
Is it wrong to put the siding on top of the aluminum?
I was thinking the same
after you try it let me know how it worked, I’m sure it’s possible
Can anyone tell me how I get a huge mobile home garden tub white again? It has yellowed to literal YELLOW! What paint scheme can I go with? Nothing but white or something that matches the hideous stained yellow monster tub! Its not supposed to be yellow. This I am certain of but for 12 yrs I've tried and failed.
If it is fiberglass you can buy a kit to paint it. If it is plastic I don't know if it can be repaired.
if its fiberglass you can buff it out like a boat, use an automotive buffer and some heavy duty rubbing compound, I have done this with a boat and it does take some time but the results are amazing, good Luck!
I used a reciprocating saw. Cut it out and replaced it with a regular tub. That was after I moved the wall inward. Gave me extra room in the bedroom on the other side.
Are your walls 2x4 or 2x2?
Dominic Ruelas, the walls are 2x3’s with 1” furring strips on the outside to make the walls 4” to accommodate insulation, the windows frames, door frames, sills and top plates are all 2x4’s, I hope that answers your question.
Lots of Mouse holes in that insulation.
all the insulation was replaced because of this, as it was unusable.
What size of nail are you using
They are 2.25 inch ring shank coil nails, I don’t think they need to be that long but they are holding good, thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed the video.
@@frugallandlord6974 thank you for sharing your video exellent work
