It looks really great and should last a very long time, unlike the plastic stuff. Love the stories too. It's so nice to see a lady not afraid to use power tools, you rock Charly!
I may be a bit weird, but I have always loved the sounds of the saw and smell when cutting wood. Project is coming along great! That was awesome of him to help yall out (and you replacing his lost stuff). That's the way good people do. 👍😎👍
i live on a bayou in the florida panhandle and i can relate to your stories. once the new roof goes on i will be fixing the skirting. thank you hurricane sally.
Bayou life was hard to give up, in fact, I wrote a poem about life on the bayou. It’s the second poem in this video. th-cam.com/video/3vtMZMqLoik/w-d-xo.html
I have stopped caring what the city thinks. I built my carport without a permit, my porch without a permit, my fence and gate without a permit. Before they will give you a permit, they send a code enforcement officer to my property to see if what I want to build is acceptable to them. I don’t need someone who is also the dog catcher, telling what or how I can build something.
@@bctruck We had a code enforcement individual (idiot) not approve our gas line. We used decking boards as skirting on the front of our trailer as a retaining wall to divert water around the trailer instead of it running under the trailer. I couldn't believe this individual had never read, much less seen a CABO book.
I look forward to trucker story time. When she busted you out about being covered in cat hair I lost it. Comedy gold. y'all family and subs have a blessed rest of your weekend. Working on some carry belts and front pocket wallets today.
Doesn’t matter how good you are there will always be naysayers and “armchair carpenters” ignore them. But I’ve been looking for a solution to my problem and this looks like it. In the same situation as you bad knees and bad back, but I also have a mobile home sitting on uneven ground 5 feet at the back 2 feet at the front, this is the route I’m taking I believe it’s the best solution for my situation thank you for posting this video and being very detailed.
I am so sorry- I can feel your pain as an older person- just can't work as hard or long as I "usedtocould". Looks great. I wish I could start a small club of like-minded ppl to work 1x a month on each other's property- taking turns! However I bought some "gel" knee pads for like $25 bucks (2024) that really help. Worth it. Also, I like staining or painting the wood before I install it- on saw horses. Thx for sharing your project
Looks great. I got this job to do myself. No wrong way to underskirt a mobile home. This looks awesome. I finally decided to leave the 3rd coast after Harvey and covid. Just got tired of floods and people. May 2022 be awesome for y'all. Keep it shiny side up and between da lines.
Thanks! I had to leave where I lived in Louisiana also. The crime was just getting ridiculous. We had to carry guns just to go to Shreveport to see our doctors.
@@bctruck I got burglarized in Shreveport. By the landlord I believe and it was the only time I've ever been burglarized. You couldn't even get into the police station to file a report., you had to talk through a PA.
As the Scots say...Hoot Mon...whatever blows ye skirt. :) Gr8 Video! Appreciate info on how you constructed the ground surface using the 12" tiles. My Mobile sits on a sand and clay fill dirt pad and I want a level permanent surface to mount the skirting to. I've thought about the tiles and vinyl or cement board. I feel your pain and I'm having to stand to type this cuz of hip pain I have while sitting. I think the hip pain is from a sciatica condition I get from being a pure back sleeper. I got a Sports Doctor TH-cam tip and have cured my sciatica low back pain several times by putting a pillow under my knees. I guess I love pain, lol :( , cuz every time I cure myself, I kick the pillow and the pain comes back after a few months. Last night I started using the pillow again, and doing some hip stretches I saw on YT that hopefully will stop the pain.
My word Brad you would need to be a millionaire to purchase that lumber here in the uk 🇬🇧 our lumber prices have more than doubled……great vid god bless
Those 23 minutes flew by this morning. Thank you for a good way to start our Saturday. Liked everything about it, from the how to DIY skirting to the banter between you and Charly. Can't leave out Breezy supervising, either. Cut off access door 👍👍👍 Good thinking on the people access door. I have 2 on the back of our house (trailer, mobile home for the critics) and both have challenges because of conduit or ductwork. Hope the rest your job goes smoothly and you'll soon put another ✔ on your to-do list. Hope you and yours have a blessed Saturday. Godspeed if you venture forth.
i wish i was closer, i would come help you so as to learn how to do my own skirting. looking good. i live on a bayou in the florida panhandle and i can relate to your stories. once the new roof goes on i will be fixing the skirting. thank you hurricane sally.
I feel ya brother!!! I have three screws in each knee, six screws in my lower back, and a medical implant for my back in my abdomen (Medtronic pain pump #8637-20). I'm trying to do the same thing you're working on. Which is how I found your video. Thank You Sir for bringing us along with you! Much appreciated. Have a good one and be safe out there brother!
Looks good Brad. Do you think you will need vents after they dry I think you will have gaps and that should be plenty ventilation. I know my fence has small gaps now and I had them wedged tight when I installed it.
Just found your channel while searching how to's on mobile home skirting and oh wow can I relate to everything taking a LOT longer at my age haha. First day of prepping the mobile here for skirting and I think every muscle in my body is sore, and I havent even got any of the skirting up yet LOL
If I could impersonate JNull0 I'd say "You're doing it wrong." but I could never be as funny or clever as him. I like the little access door for the shutoff.
I have the same issue with my back and knees, it make it hard to do anything that has to do with bending or squatting. Have to sit an slide on my rear end, it's dirty but it work slowly. I feel for your pain but the job looks nice and I think I will try it myself.
Hi Brad, Charly and fur babies! Looks good and I’m sure it was a pain with the variance in the the wood, they where probably scrap wood when they built it that they used. My son-in-law used to work for Claytons and he said they use every scrap of wood. Good job Charly. I would freak out too, don’t do water moccasins, I had a incident with one while swimming. Glad y’all didn’t fall down that slope, would have been bad. Have a blessed day and be safe!
Get yourself one of those lawn and garden creeper chairs. You can roll 'em sideways while you're workin' and you don't have to be bent over all day. They've got big tires on them so they can roll off road rather easily. I'd have one myself but my knees can't take being bent that much. I'm too tall for most of that stuff. Have to have about a 23 inch chair height for me to be able to get back up.
Brad excellent job! I relate to bad knees. I am 74 and cut down a 15' tree sitting on a stool. A friend once told me " Tom when you are in the land of 'got to' well that's what you do, got to" LOL
Honestly, with the gaps that will form between the boards, you are probably ok with just that alone for ventilation. Unless you are planning on insulating behind that.
I’m not. The front porch kitchen I built is a perfect example of how much space will open. I butted one piece against another when I built it and now there’s a 1/4 inch gap between them.
@@bctruck Yea, honestly, I think you will have enough airflow with out adding the vents. If it was tighter like board and batton, or tongue and grove with a solid seal, then I’d worry about venting. It’s like having two spare tires for your Honda, not gonna hurt, but also not really a requirement. ;-)
I hated to move. It was a one bedroom house on an island. Surrounded by wildlife. I loved it there but a few times a year, you had to stay in your house, or if you were gone when it flooded, you couldn’t get home unless you had your boat with you.
@@bctruck yeah I couldn't do that I enjoy living in the woods only time I have trouble getting in and out is when it really really snows or we get a lot of rain at once but within a hour of it stopping I'm able to go
You're doing a great job.. thank you I'm a fist time buyer. And I really like your idea..do need help trying to get my skirting on my new double wide mobile home...
Charly, Have you toured the quilt barns? I saw some interesting pictures. They paint a quilt pattern on part of the barn. There are supposed to be tours across the country.
The work looks good… great job…!!! Also far as your knees…. Try rubbing organic castor oil on them every night and see will it help you. It worked for my knees. Of course it doesn’t work overnight but just keep rubbing it on nightly and see if it helps…
Forgive my ignorance, but since the wood is considered “treated” would I have to treat with something else to prevent warping and rot? I’d like to do something like this for my mobile home as well
I completely understand when you talk about the knees and the back! Man, it looks awesome. We have been thinking about doing this for my son’s mobile home, could you give me an idea of the cost?
@@bctruck Thank you. YT was doing that weird thing where I see video that is not in sync with the audio. It seemed like the audio was behind and possibly missing some parts. How do they do that, LOL.
Here is what you can tell the armchair experts: After reading your comment, my wife and I spent all last night ripping it all out to do the job exactly the way you so generously provided.
I screwed a 2x2 up under the edge of the house. I screwed the top of the skirting to it, and dug a trench for the bottom of it to fit in, then filled it in.
No, I got very sick for a couple years. I had numerous surgeries, and I’ve recovered,but I haven’t gotten around to finishing this project. While I was sick, we had a tornado. It’s taken me 18 months to clean up.
I did my skirting similar to this. And I also used treated wood as well. But because the wood is touching the ground and is more than likely prone to getting wet during the rainy days. Do you not worry about termites? This is my only concern with my skirting. Though I spray pesticides around the outside of my house Religiously
Hello Brad, you did an amazing job and I’m going to mimic your idea. Question, so the bottom of the pickets, you just buried them? Have they held up well so far? Thank you for the great video.
Ya done it wrong! That's not the way I would have done it. I would have saved the money up and paid someone else to do it! If I tried it would have taken three times as long and looked, maybe, half as good. Heck, I run the dust mop over the living room floor and then I gotta sit down and rest for half an hour! But then, I'm a bit older than you so I use that as an excuse. Good job!
Id love to know how you did the skirting across the front of the mobile. Mine has a big metal cross bar across the front that I cant attach wood to. which is how I found your channel cuz I came in here to google it LOL. You did give me a great idea on how to do the top piece on the long sides of the mobile tho! Also, what did you attach the bottom 2x2 to?
I haven’t gotten to that side yet. I can only afford a little wood at a time and right now I’m paying for cataract surgery. I hope by spring I can buy more lumber and I’ll show how I plan to attach it.
@@bctruck I know how that goes. I just happened to find a great deal on a load of cedar, enough to do all my skirting. I have no skirting now so hoping to have mine done this week. I did get a few ideas watching videos so hopefully this pans out ok haha
@@bctruck oh yea I have the same thing but I am sure on a much smaller scale. Just wait until I make the videos re-doing the Coleman stove. I am going to make heads explode when I paint it any color other than green. LoL
It looks real good, nice work. But I don't think you were using the drill right with your left hand. Here is how I do it, use lots of profanity and hold my tongue just the right way. Lol just kidding. Great job 👍
why would you need vents when I see people put up vinyl on the bottom they put up house wrap under the vinyl so all those cracks and vents or the wood separating you could still get rodents
you should get yourself a cart with wheels and you could slide along and sit while you do it or a wagon or something instead of bending over sitting on your knees
It looks really great and should last a very long time, unlike the plastic stuff. Love the stories too. It's so nice to see a lady not afraid to use power tools, you rock Charly!
I’m like a mother hen. I’m so afraid she is gonna hurt herself because she has no fear.
I may be a bit weird, but I have always loved the sounds of the saw and smell when cutting wood. Project is coming along great! That was awesome of him to help yall out (and you replacing his lost stuff). That's the way good people do. 👍😎👍

It’s been over a year and it still looks good.
The wood under painting looks really good and I like the idea of the round louvered vent

Here is what you can tell the armchair experts: After reading your comment, my wife and I spent all last night ripping it all out to do the job exactly the way you so generously provided.
How did you anchor the bottom 2x2 or did you just screw it into the skirt boards? Looks great appreciate you sharing your hard work.
The bottom 2x2 is screwed to the skirting a few inch above the ground.
@@bctruck thank you sir. I thought it was but wasn't sure.
After my thumbs down now I'm trying to think of something ya did wrong to comment on... lol looks good brother... hopefully my knives come today...
Dang! I thought you’d have them by now!
Great job!
Thanks!
You were doing it wrong, you should not use your left hand, LOL Now that looks good, I like it.
I’m terrible with my left hand. My right hand laughs at my toddler like uncoordinated left hand.
How are you securing the bottom of the boards? I combed through your video a couple times but I don't think you covered that part
They are all attached to a 2x2 horizontally about a foot above the ground.
Looks like a great idea but what about termites or water damage. Got any tips to make the wood last as long as metal or vinyl?
It’s treated wood. No idea how long it will last. It’s already outlasted the vinyl skirting that was there
I’d like to get a quote on this
I did this myself. It wasn’t difficult. I’m 64 with a ton of health issues. Do it yourself and save a ton of money
This video is exactly what we need. Did you run a track along the bottom? We're trying to figure out how you secured the pickets.
I screwed a 2x2 up under the edge of the house. I screwed the top of the skirting to it, and dug a trench for the bottom of it to fit in, then filled it in.
@@bctruck thank you for replying so quickly!

I'm thinking of doing this with treated plywood
I used pallets for my skirting for now
Thinking outside the box!!!
do you have a second part of this that showed you doing the door on the side u we’re talking about? i’m about to start the same type of project.

is a stem wall the same as a skirting
No. A stem wall supports weight and skirting keeps animals out as well as cold and wind.
Nice job picketing! I keep trying join the protests every time I see a sign that says “End Road Work” but that group is so lazy they won’t show up…
Dang, I’ve had that all wrong! I always pull over and get my shovel out at the “ begin roadwork” sign.
How much you spend on lumber?
It wouldn’t matter even if I remember. It’s gone up significantly since then.
You're doing it wrong. You're supposed to lose the guns in the boating accident. LoL
My videos where I build or make something, always attract the “you did it wrong” people.
@@bctruck oh yea I have the same thing but I am sure on a much smaller scale. Just wait until I make the videos re-doing the Coleman stove. I am going to make heads explode when I paint it any color other than green. LoL
@@TheWatchmanNews ya mean you aren't planning on using John Deer green!?!?
@@Jimwill01 negative I was going to go all rogue and use Kelly Green lol. I am going to do the majority of it in flat black.
It looks real good, nice work. But I don't think you were using the drill right with your left hand. Here is how I do it, use lots of profanity and hold my tongue just the right way. Lol just kidding. Great job 👍
Sometimes when I work on things, people think I’m speaking in tongues.
why would you need vents when I see people put up vinyl on the bottom they put up house wrap under the vinyl so all those cracks and vents or the wood separating you could still get rodents
What cracks are you talking about? The vinyl you see has tiny little holes in it for ventilation. Where do you see house wrap?
I hate Phillips screws. I will not buy them anymore. I only use torx.
I have thousands and thousands of Philips screws of every length. I’ll be dead before I use them all. I have 3 1/2 inch deck screws that are torx.
yore doun it rong!!! u shud use bacon grease on dem screws to make em go in mor bettr 😄
What would I deep fry my chicken in?
@@bctruck I use 10-W30 😄
All joking aside, I have heard that if you soap the screw threads with bar soap they go in easier. Haven't tried it yet.
@@Jimwill01 That's true. My dad taught me that a long time ago. He also said to rub soap on a saw to make it cut easier 😉
My dad taught me to stand in water before I plug an extension cord in and to check my fuel level with a lighter.
you should get yourself a cart with wheels and you could slide along and sit while you do it or a wagon or something instead of bending over sitting on your knees
Great idea!
