Who loves this family as much as I do!! Always amazing videos!!!
Thank you. We really appreciate that!
Me!
There’s already over 700 thumbs up so we’re not alone
❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉
Anyone who gets to live in a house you have remodeled has won the solid house lottery!!!! I love watching you guys work,
New to the channel. Not only does this family seem nice, calm and kind; but also hard workers and wholesome. Getting through things together and making great progress and memories always. My kinda humorous, clear, concise and helpful. If you ask me, they are living the dream, really. Seriously warms my heart. I'm hooked!
Listen you two! You would not believe how much this video has just helped me. I have a rotted spot in my rim joist and my contractor didn’t even know how to repair it and he just quit on me. He said the whole/back of my single wide trailer was just going to fall off and he couldn’t afford to buy me a new trailer. Now that I see how sistering is done on a rotten rim joist I believe I can do it myself, and I’m a 57 year old woman! Ha! I’ve drawn out a picture of what you just did in case I couldn’t find this video again. Thank you both for all the good that you’re doing I personally appreciate you both.
If yours isn’t gutted, it might be a good idea to support the two sides beside the area you need to cut out, just so it doesn’t move on you and you can get the new piece in.
You can do it!! I'm 59 and just did this! Can do attitude will win over everytime! You got this!! 💪👏💃
There is simply no better a finesse builder, whether it’s a home, roof, kitchen, bathroom, dining room, or bedroom than Doug. He has mad skills and is obsessive in his finish work which always results in exceptional results. But I kinda think he enjoys demo too :)
So many people see a small amount of rot like that and run away from an otherwise solid home. This is 100% fixable; even a stick built home can experience this kind of rot.
Doug and Ashley thank you for sharing this journey! Keep. Doing. You. 🌻🌵🎶
I’m looking forward to following this renovation. I see Stan is guarding the place.😊
i'd get a heart attack each time i saw him lol
Being the third mobile home you have remodeled, I am sure you have learned a lot to make this one go more smoothly. Getting in the home stretch on the house, I look forward to seeing it all complete very soon!
Trust me, ive rebuilt many mobile homes, SEAL the floor before any floor coverings
I watched you gut your last mobile home, which was the house you last lived in and I have absolute faith that you will make this home right. You may not use the absolutely most expensive materials to refurbish this home, but it will be correct. There's no such thing as over engineering.
Wait just a minute here! You mean to tell me that Stan was there this whole time and he didn’t even bother to at least get started on the floor repair??? I realize that good help is hard to come by, but Stan is clearly not pulling his weight….IJS🤷🏽♀️😉😁
😂
Well, if you think about it, he probably doesn’t weigh too much.
😮😂🤣🤣
I am so excited to see this worn out home come back to life. One day this will be some one's happy place.
You have shown from the house in Michigan, that you can repair anything in a mobile home!!
Doug's carpentry is perfect. I'm happy your mobile home is now your focus. It's going to be fun.
lt's gonna be amazing, Your previous mobile home refurbishment has been great. Glad you're doing it up...
Good Morning Doug Ashley & kids,if anyone can turn this mobile home around it is the two of you.Just love your channel and all your projects.Have a nice week!❤️
The great thing is you can now go back to your comfortable home & not have to live on a construction site. :-) Looking forward to the transformation.
Yes, that is the best part of this project, is not having to live in it! It will certainly be a new experience for us!
Doug - have you ever told us where/how you acquired all your building skills ?!!
I’m looking forward to seeing this house renovation ❤
He did here and there within other videos. Basically just experience, practicing over time. 😊
I have been watching you for years and it amazes me how many homes you made new again , came up with personal ideas and they all came out gorgeous...definitely a one of a kind. You left love, respect and a piece of your heart in each and every one of them . I cant wait to see what you have in store for this one . Nice start and I must say, I agree with Ashley...it looks so nice to see a clean patch down already...you know its a fresh start !
You said that so beautifully. I agree with you, they have lots of love in every home they have done.
Another improv from Doug using a piece of floor tile for a square!!!!! You are amazing there hasn’t been any job throughout your home renovation and now the mobile home that you wont tackle. Great job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️. I’m goi g to love this mobile home series.
You must be so very happy to do a reno without living in the midst of the chaos😂. It's going to be another amazing finish no matter how long it takes❣
You guys are OUTSTANDING at saving tear down mobile homes. Can't wait for the next episode!
Thank you!
Nice way to start my day😊
Now we're back to the type of remodel that I can really get into. My mobile home is nowhere near as bad as the ones you've done, but you have taught me so much over the years. I'm a woman, 67 years old and I've done most of my own work except for electric. I've been tinkering around with some plumbing as well, hoping to install a bidet. There's something you could do guys!
Anyone who gets Doug and Ashley builds will get a good solid product. Great Work!
folks, this is going to be utube gold. sooooooo excited!
You are a great team and never afraid of hard work! Go Doug and Aashley!🙂💪🏽💯
How exciting! Just think....a year and a half of more videos. Not to mention anything you do to your dream home. That should hold me over for awhile. heehee.
Knowing what you guys have done before, I'm so EXCITED for this build!! Thanks for sharing!
You guys are so REAL and I can't tell you how refreshing that is!
I love watching the two of you work together so well. The work is always beautiful, never disappointing! The kids are adorable, btw!
I think he puts his heart and soul and everything he does
Looking forward to the mobile home rebuild
“That was the wire I wasn’t supposed to hit” 😮😂. I love you guys
I like Renos. There's something very satisfying watching old/rotted turning into new/clean construction.
After watching you guys for a while now I believe if anyone can make that old and tired moble home nice again it's you two. Good luck and keep moving forward.
I’m sooooo excited!!!! Ur intro about the mobile was also a description of what u guys do. Take something that has little to no value and completely turning that around. I’m very interested in this project and look forward to every step. Nice to see Stan has been keeping guard duty. 😉
After watching yall for years, I can say that your mobile home reno skills are top notch, yall can get that done in a year I bet.
So happy to see this going forward, I live in a mobile home and this is so helpful for me 👍
I agree 💯 I have a spot in my closet thanks again Doug and Ashley ❤️
They have shown me how to do a lot of things I have used in my home!
@@user-zz4fp3vl1r nice me too
People need to be less critical you guys are doing a great job in all you do. You are one of my favorite channels to watch. Hi to all of you and Merry Christmas
Comments are invited by the very nature of UTUBE videos. They WANT comments and comments are not NECESSARILY criticisms. That's how they make their money. From comments.
When the second battery quit after 5 seconds, I said Good Grief, Ashley said Wow and Doug said That’s why I bought new batteries! 👍😂 I’m glad to see Supervisor Stan is still on duty to make helpful suggestions along the way! Amazing that there’s not more and larger areas of rotten wood, a blessing for sure. If you don’t have more videos before, sending wishes for a peaceful and joyous Christmas remembering the birth of Jesus and God’s amazing love, grace and mercy! 💕💕💕
i can see how much level the mobile home is now they made a good job of it just a small tip now you have all the wood open use water proofing to keep more damp &mould out for good 😎👌✌ have a wonderful christmas
Leaks where the roofing sections overlap. I'll have to check for that on my '99 mobile home. I learn so much from y'all.
Hi Ashley and Doug, great start on the floor. I bet it’s nice to go home and not have to live in the place you are working on.
i'm so grateful for this and other diy channels. seeing how such things are done gives me great confidence i can do it myself
I didn't expect a video today so this was a nice treat. I adore seeing Ashley working alongside Doug also supplying advice and feedback. They are an amazing team. They understand one another's goals so their communication isn't lengthy, allowing for morre productivity. This home will be a true blessing to any tenants. It will definitely be better than when it was first built and most likely better than newly built mobile homes. I am not referring to fancy bells & whistles - I care more about quality and safety. Ashley and Doug always have an eye on unique things that elevate their properties so no scrimping allowed. It will be an exciting 12-18 months watching the mobile home's rebirth and I am ready for it. (I am so thankful you hired the foundation repairs completed. With the recent flooding that could have been prolonged and potentially more dangerous. And so messy. Very smart investment - as is your norm.)
This will be interesting to watch. I have lived in 3 old mobile homes during my earlier lifetime and believe it or not I have even patched a few floors, put in a couple of water heaters and ceiling fans, insulation, ect., that is why I enjoy watching your show so much. I don't know if you guys celebrate Christmas or not but I would still like to wish you Happy Holidays.
It is interesting that your mobile built in 1984 actually has a plywood sub-floor. Mine built in 1998 has a high density pressed particle thing. When I went to install underfloor radiant heat and tile in the bathrooms, I had to replace that subfloor. I initially wanted hardwood in the rest of the house but to enable that to be nailed I would have had to replace the subfloor. I went with engineered hardwood floating floor to avoid that. Your little unit built 15 years earlier actually has a better subfloor. Cheers.
Like almost anything, it boils down to the manufacturer. Some are built better than others. Which of course means they're more expensive new. There are 2 manufacturers in my region that build quality mobile homes, the rest are not as well built.
I found myself wishing I could show up at your worksite with a big push-broom and an industrial vacuum cleaner to clear away your workspace for you, LOL
This is really exciting to watch! I can’t wait to see more of this old mobile home renovation. Great work!
Yippee, more videos to watch ❤
Agree!
I think this is the third mobile home we've watched you rehab, and it's still fascinating. We'll enjoy it, all the way to the end. You guys are the best!
Our mobile home had very similar leaks and floor repairs. I attribute the leaks to the putty in the corner of the aluminum windows degrading over time and allowing water to leak from the window onto all the framing members below. Thanks for your videos. I'm now priming everything to help slow down how fast if rots.
I am excited to see what you do with this mobile home, your last ones were awesome, and this time you don’t have to deal with severe cold weather or snow.
Nice, but you guys always make the impossible, possible! My favorite diy people because you make it happen.
I think you are both so experienced now that this renovation will go fairly quickly. There can’t be too much you haven’t yet come across.
And so the fun continues. 👏👏❤
Save all of your receipts and add up the cost at the end. I think you will save a lot over the cost of building something new. If you end up renting the home it will make a nice steady income stream for you. Thanks for sharing
Save those receipts for tax deductions. Between your own homes receipts & the trailers you should have to pay very little taxes from your 1099 form from RUclips. Also the purchase of the mobile home.
We bought a 1969 mobile home and moved it to our property in 1980. We used it for two years while we built our "real" home and then sold it to another couple. Sometimes I wonder if it still exists. Repairing it was a challenge, you guys are in for an adventure but by now you are renovation pros, good luck.
The cool thing about your work shop, is that you could park it at this sight when you start working full time here.
Hey guys! I remember the first one I watched you guys do, it turned out great!, and so cute. You guys never disappoint! God Bless. Have a Blessed Christmas. Love, Granny
Over 4.4 thousand likes, by the time I could get settled to watch the video! Well done and a great way to start rebuilding the mobile home!! Much Love and Hugs to you both and to your two beautiful kiddos!! ❤❤❤❤
Very good instructional video.
Thank you
Take care
Great job. I feel your pain on that. Termites got my mobile home like that and had to redo the entire back of the house.. Can't wait to see more of your work!
You both are such troopers! That is a lot of work but if anyone can get 'er done, it's you!
Can't wait to see what you do with the mobile home, exciting to watch 😀 much love ❤🤗
Love the smiles you give to each other you can see the love 😊 May you have a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year.
I've been a viewer for a few years so watching you track down & remove rot is actually comforting while sitting in a holding room in a Dr's office. Also a mobile home I once lived in had particle board floors w/ water damage. That was in the 1980s. Glad your floor is plywood 👍
Thanks 🙋♀️
Great job once again keep them coming Doug
"it may never be perfect, but it is good", I love this optimistic and energetic sentence, for good work that begins at your mobile home.
You definitely have your work cut out for you on this project but after seeing the other restorations you have done I've got high hopes for the old mobile home. Can't wait to see you guys do your magic 😊.
Such wonderful work ethics!! Bet there are a lot of parents wishing their grown children had your work ethics! Merry Christmas to your wonderdul family!
The nice thing about the mobile home reno project is you aren't living in it, so you don't have to move furniture and other stuff to work on it. The down side is you have to remember which tools and supplies you need to bring with you to work on a particular area. Hopefully, you can get a lot of the structural tear out and rebuilding done over the winter when you have cooler weather.
You two always put forth such a good example of positivity! Fortitude! Thank you very much
Can't wait to see what your mobile home looks like whem its finished you do such a good job of renovating property
Great job!! Doug and Ashley you both always do the best in your work!!
If u plan on renting it, paint everything neutral colors. It's more appealing, but I'm sure u all know because you guys rock!!!
Yes, because if they paint it the way they want it, people aren't going to want to rent it.
I look back and remember doing wat you guys are doing 😊😊 Not young anymore. Thanks for taking me back😊😊😊
Yeah can’t wait to watch you guys rebuild this old trailer into one of Doug’s finest restorations!! 😅
I absolutely love the fact that nothing scares you two off!
I have been watching for so long now I feel strongly in saying that I am so proud of you both! Continued good luck with this Reno I know it will be just beautiful when done!
A great start perfect floor Happy Christmas to you all.
Love seeing you bring the mobile home back to life and value. If anyone can, you guys can! Merry Christmas❣️🎄
What I love about your channel is there is always great content. Ive been watching for years...this mobile home brings me back to the old days!!! Love it!!!
Merry Christmas Doug, Ashley and family! I'm going to really enjoy watching this redo!
And so the repair begins, many good videos to come😊
I look forward to every one of your videos. They always start my day in a good mood. Thanks😊
Exciting! Our friends own the mobile home park across the street. Homes are all early 70s, and the previous owners kept the property picked up, but were slumloards and never took care of the actual structure of the homes in terms of resealing etc. they’ve had to do a lot of work to the homes. But even if you have to put $8-10k into each home, they rent a 2bed 1 bath for $1200 a month or so and can make that back relatively fast.
I can't wait to see what magic y'all do to this adventure.❤
Great to see you working on the mobile home again. Great job.
I expected the underwear bandit in this video...😂. Sorry, family, funny stuff, big hugs. Love y'all!
Really awesome!
Not jade with envy for this kind of work. I hate floor work... bluhhhhh. So glad this place has plywood floor, and not that particle wood crap, that makes life a lot better getting a quality floor. I give you guys 8 months to finish, long as you don't have to run to Home Depot every 30 minutes. Stan the Man still with us I see >>;=) We should celebrate the first install in the home 🎉🎉
Took me back to last winter, when I tore up my kitchen floor. Oh, the memories! 😂
I am always learning something new with each video I watch.
Thank you for including us in the process.
As always be well, be blessed ❤
Yes I was waiting to see this video, I love the way that you guy's work together as a team, but the patience that Doug has is unbelievable ❤❤❤
I'm so happy that I found you guys because I have to do this to my home as well so I will be watching all of your videos thank you for sharing this the only thing that scares me is getting under the house !!!God Bless!!!❤❤
You definitely found the right channel
I just love ya'll!!! Such an inspiration to so many! Hugs and love from Mississippi ❤
Nice work today, you two. Thank you both.
I’ve always enjoyed watching rebuild projects. This one is exciting because the original is so yucky and your improvements are already great! I look forward to every improvement along the way! 👏👍❤️❤️
Great job guys ,no job to large ,no job to small you solve them all …love it ♥️🇨🇦
Back at the trailer! Thanks for sharing your progress!
