Really great job. Especially by the guy on his knees old man better than 98% of us on here watching him. I’m learning dealing with rotted floor under the toilet flange
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair thx I’ll look through them tonight. I’m getting conflicting placements on where the bottom of the toilet flange should lye, on the top of the sub floor or on top of whatever is the highest floor ? Some videos have in middle of top layer
Really appreciate these videos and passing on your knowledge. I’m getting ready to replace the floor of my living room in my trailer and your videos are my go to place for know how and encouragement I need to do the job. Keep up the good work!
Omg this gives me so much hope for myself, since my husband passed away I have had to figure things out for myself when it comes to jobs around the house. I have a big job I need to do and feel honestly scared to try but I don't have the money to pay anyone so confidence is what I need!
@@NatureRocks. You can absolutely do it. If it's replacing subfloor, you may need a man to help you pull thr nails out of the joists. That for me was the hardest job of all. Be sure to accurately figure out the thickneof the subfloors you are matching with. Oh, and measure twice, cut once. Good luck
I noticed when you laid the sub floor there was gaps around the door facing how do you fix that so air doesn't come out It? And what did you use on the grinder to clear the debris off the floor joist?
You are not kidding it is a very painstaking project but very rewarding at the end so I’m glad I was able to help you and if there’s anything in particular that you need to see you can always send me a text message and I would be glad to forward you a video on something like that so feel free to contact me anytime and thank you so much for your support on my channel
Y’all are awesome I sure wish I had the money to pay y’all to redo a lot of trailer my husband tries but we have no ideal what the heck were doing and don’t have a lot of funds to pay for help.. But it does help to watch some of your videos well at least I try to watch them..
Good luck with it my friend and it sounds like your husband has it under control. Thanks for the visit. If you need anything in particular video, I’m always here.
I’m very glad I shared it with you and everybody else for one reason some people can’t afford to hire a contractor even I charge $50 an hour when I work per man so I can understand why homeowners would want to try this project themselves. Therefore I make videos to help you. I’m glad I could help my friend.
Thank you for this video. I am facing a similar problem in my trailer, and it's next to impossible to get someone to do this job, I'm looking at having to tackle it myself 😢
Thank you so much and if you need to see any particular video on any particular thing, I would love to share it with you. I’m sure I have one if not, I can find one.
I have someone that says they can do it, but from watching all your great videos, I feel that I will need to buy all the materials and screws just to make sure they do it right according to your instructions. I am not physically able to. I wish I could but I have arthritis, Arthralgia and on lots of meds. But thank you very much for responding to me. I have tried to find your final video on the bathroom floor, you have part one and then part two goes into the bedroom. So I don’t se the final touch baseboards replacing the door?? God Bless you, Lisa
I like the ideas reinforcing around toilet ! Just curious, why the vapor barrier of insulation faced down? It shall face to the warm side in our pacific northwest area.
The only reason why I did it is because the Mobile Home already has a vapor barrier under it I didn’t want to make a closed off section vapor barrier on two sides inside being moist
We will be starting the bathroom floor in my son's trailer soon but my question is about his roof. It is really bad but it goes level for 15' then has a 45 degree drop for about 18" then goes on level the rest of the way. Do you have a video on how to deal with the elevation drop in a roof.
I would like to ask about how much does this type of repair tend to cost? I have a broken window which has been leaking for a while and now i want to have the subfloor gutted and refloored with proper plywood & vinyl plus needing the toilet & pipe to be fixed too? With my work schedule I just don't have the time to do it myself. So I thought I would ask.
I charged $900 for the bathroom that was just for the part that you seen us do everything else would be extra so if you have to buy a new bathtub a new vanity, a new toilet probably looking at about $2500 doing it yourself
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair ok thank you so much. Thankfully not as worried about the tub, if it can be avoided, and our vanity is still good ( no signs of the damage reaching that far) * fingers crossed* but definetly thank you for the estimate. At least I can be prepared for what a contractor might say. Thank you for the videos too. Its giving me a better understanding of what has to be done.🙏
What size are these boards in my trailer are they 2x3s or what drew there not 2x4s drew i need to replace some i don't know what size they are looks like 2x3
What r rating of insulation do you recommend for the floor? I'm in South, South Carolina . I tried to see it in the video, but I guess I missed it. Thanks 😊
I own a '77 single|wide but I live out West, in Northern Nevada. It was actually manufactured in Southern California though. And it's a lot colder in the winter here than in SoCal. My heating ducts lie just under my subfloor. There is no insulation between the ducts and the subfloor. And under the ducts in the underbelly, it's just crammed beneath the belly board. I'm wondering if the location is why. I've never lived in a trailer before. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I laughed when I once heard you say, "you never know what you're gonna find" once you open it up. Just when I think I understand what's going on, I come across something truly crazy. Like um, the toilet that was relocated to the center of the heating duct... That's just one of the innumerable problems I've discovered. I don't open a can of worms, I open trash bins of snakes. Big ones too! And in Nevada there's a manufactured housing division of state government, which requires any contractor to be licensed by manufactured housing. Great concept, however it completely prices me out of any reputable and affordable work. No one will even help me, except idiots who are unlicensed. Essentially requires me to perform all my own repairs. I don't know how I'm going to get the porch detached from the trailer. Yes, literally bolted into the side of it which is pulling it down. I'm basically f*#ked.
If it’s made of wood you can fix it it’s gonna take some elbow grease and of course a few bucks. I wish you well on your project. If I was anywhere near you, I would gladly help.
can the underbelly be installed from the top of the joists and hanging down between each, stapled along the bottom of the inside edges? the space under my mobile is too small to fit a person under there. thanks
Paul seems to think we do it the way he did it. I say it’s the other way, but there is already a vapor barrier, so it really doesn’t matter which way it goes at that point.
Got hit with an advanced pay. Guy ripped us off for $2300 to redo living room and kitchen floor. Materials still sitting in my front yard 3 months later. If my spine won't injured I'd be doing it myself at this point. Floor still ain't done. 🤣😭🤣 Won't ever make that mistake again. Sometimes we learn the hard way.
That is terrible. I am so sorry to hear that. I never give money upfront. That is just bad policy. If somebody ask you for money upfront, tell them go away.
Probably the only thing I would have done differently would have been to use pressure treated 2X4s under the outside wall and the bathroom/ kitchen sink areas just in case of future leaks from frozen lines . My boy also likes those star/torque screws ... Me , I like the square better . They seem to power in a little better and stick to the bit better when you dont have both hands available in certain areas.. But both are better than Phillips... i just ude them on thin soft wood.... Good job.. nice to see people willing to do manual work in this day of woke , lazy , people wanting money for nothing...
Never give a contractor up-front money "for materials". Any contractor worth his salt has "net 30" accounts wherever he gets his materials (meaning he doesn't have to pay for the materials for 30 days after he gets them). If he hasn't done enough work within 30 days to pay for the materials, then he's worth less than nothing, no matter how big the job is. It's fine to pay them for work-completed in stages so he can pay for the materials and labor, but that should happen AFTER each stage of the work is complete, not before.
Really great job. Especially by the guy on his knees old man better than 98% of us on here watching him. I’m learning dealing with rotted floor under the toilet flange
I have a few videos on toilet flanges

Nice work the only thing I would do different I would have took the trim off and made subfloor tighter to the wall

Hi Drew, your video is fantastic. Question, what is the average price to replace rotted flooring in a mobil home that is 400 sq ft.?
Somewheres around $1000, labor and material
I like the ideas reinforcing around toilet ! Just curious, why the vapor barrier of insulation faced down? It shall face to the warm side in our pacific northwest area.

What type of tape are you using to hold the insulation up?
Gorilla tape
What thickness of vantec flooring are you using?
23/32
Any chance of you visiting Florida for a Job. Both Bathroom floors are rotted and need to replace both tubs , toilet and sinks
I have lots of videos you can watch to learn how to do it. If I could I would
Doesn't the floor insulation vapor barrier face up?
If it has vapor barrier. Some don’t

Yes but you can only do so much. That is why we block everything like we do
