This dumpy senior mobile park has hundreds of 🦨🦨🦨 and possum and 🦌🦌🦌. After 4.000.00 spend 2018and much product's it's fair to say, I'm determined and don't do social media much. 🆘🙏🦨🦨🦌🙏
My brother and myself about the same age as your boys found some of that insulation, yellow and pink. We thought it would be good material to make wigs out of. Very Bad idea, about 5 to 10 minutes in, that stuff ate us up. We ran jumped in the creek trying to wash that stuff off. Every time I see insulation like that, I'm reminded of that incident. LoL
Yes, bad call. Back in the day i got a job at a factory making fiberglass curtains. After the first day, my face and eyes swelled up due to irritation. That was a one day job, no more. Stay safe.
I’m sure you have heard this from others, but you guys helped me to go ahead with some floor issues in my 1979 double widemobile home. There is water damage to several rooms from various pipes breaking over the years, with several “soft spots”. I was looking around on you tube to see what I could do to fix things. I stumbled onto your site and boy did I feel better. Having no (as in zip, zero, none) experience or knowledge about how mobile homes are built. I have now started demo on the floor of one of the bedrooms. I almost feel like I know you two because I have watched your videos over and over, trying to burn your tips into my brain. I’m about to start blocking between the joists. Amazing enough the joists seem to be in good shape. I’m retired so hopefully I will be able to finish the projects in my lifetime. 😉 Anyway, I just wanted you to know that I feel much more hopeful about continuing to live here without falling through the floor. I can’t thank you enough for being willing to video all your remodeling. I wouldn’t have started this if I hadn’t seen your channel.
That is so awesome to hear! We are so happy that we were able to be an inspiration or encouragement for you to take on such a project to improve your home and better your living! This is exactly why we try to make our videos educational and take the time to share! Best of luck on your home projects and be sure to see our playlists and channel for more videos. We have a lot on working on all sorts of things in our home! This year we even moved it to another state and renovated it some more. :) We're happy to say after 7 years of owning it and working on it from paycheck to paycheck, that the major interior renovations are done. Now for the outside (come Spring 2023). :)
This was very encouraging! My mobile home is 1984 with some of the same problems. You’ve gave me the balls to start on the smallest problem lol 😂. I’m 46 and can’t afford a new mobile home or stick built home. My home is paid for so I might as well get started while I can still move lol 😂. Good luck on your project! I hope you report back how it turned out.
@@Laswm4950 I’m now working on my 4th room. Sam said in one of their videos, that you have to accept that trailers are not square anywhere so don’t beat yourself up trying to make it perfect. I still have 2 rooms and a hallway to finish. Good luck on yours.
@@Copperred266 My dad recently passed and was working on renovating half of the trailer we have, with the same issues as you've stated above, I applaud you for taking time out of your retirement and focusing on something to keep you busy, and now looking back on the rooms you've done over the years, Is there any tips for a middle aged man on how to approach the job to make it less stressful, my dad had all the construction genes and sadly I don't think I've absorbed enough to confidently do any of the work so far.
I agree guys, once you get to the point where your work is gettin sloppy coz you just want to get it finished, it’s time to stop for the day, get cleaned up, cook a nice meal and relax. Take your time with this project. It’s your home and you don’t want to just throw things together. With that being said, I think you guys have made great progress and it’s gonna be beautiful when you are finished with it. Thanks again for another great video. God loves you both and your children. God bless you all. ❤️❤️❤️
As soon as I'm recovered fully from this dang hysterectomy. I'm getting dirty, going full hog reno on our 1990s fisher single wide. Just can't wait to get started
Been living in mobile homes for the at least the last 35 years been there done that, everything from floor patches to new floors but learned something a couple years ago that has made these repairs so much easier if you are doing a whole room like you all are. Just overlay the whole floor with either 5/8 or 3/4 plywood so much better than tearing out that particle board junk with a million staples, you end up with 10 times less mess a smoother floor to put your covering of choice on. I have done both now and wonder why I didn't think of the overlay to start with. Granted if you are just patching a bad spot that doesn't work but for a whole room it so much better it ends up stronger and flatter and you can just put a trim piece on at door entry to make the transition. Anyway keep up the great work I enjoy your video's reminds me of when we were younger repairing our first mobile home it is an adventure LOL...
When you see the siding and realise that that is all there is between you and outside , it has to be a bit of shocker ?Once you have lovely new walls set up and you cant see the siding it makes it feel like a real solid home surely ?
Flip flops in a construction area.....I see no problem at all! That’s how I work also. 😂. Love that cutter as well. I first saw one on your channel and my husband bought me one yesterday. Used it while laying laminate flooring down at my parents and it’s awesome!! Great job on your home!
Being that it was a mobile home it didn't surprise me that there wasn't any blocking already in place. Given it's age I am glad you didn't have any joist failures already. Should go pretty quickly but still a nasty job. Good luck with it all, take care and thx for sharing. As always two thumbs up!
Can watch TH-cam on the TV. It is good to see you two “TV star”. Thank you for the videos. The boys bedroom renovation will be part of my fix for this duration.
Thank you. We are about to renovate a 26x80 Double wide and with surprise baby due in June we are adding a room and bathroo. On the back. Way over our head but pray for us.
Wow! You will be saving on your energy bills when this room is properly insulated! You are right about contractors; some of them hide a mess. I enjoy watching and learning from you both! By the way, a friend said I smelled nice today and asked about my cologne- I told her no cologne, it’s your patchouli soap! ❤️ she plans to order! Love, Darla in NC
First of all great job guys, watching your videos has become a relief for me as i am very ignorant and have no experience in working with trailer homes. I was feeling very overwhelmed when i came to my mother in law's trailer to help her install flooring, upon inspecting the floors we found out the siding or aluminum sheets outside had some water condensation over the years and due to a tree being next to that side of the trailer water got into the floor and thus rotten some of it, being this was my first ever remodeling/patching job i got very stressed over it as i did not know how to go about it. I would like to thank you for showing me that any average joe like myself can actually get it started and finish it, i have realized that the oscillating tool is a must for any remodeling job. Thank you both for being such a great couple and for all the helpful knowledge you share, may Jah keep blessing your family and work. Thank you very much.
Gotta love the old mobile home flooring....it's like pressed saw dust. SMH. The siding is like a barndominium/pole barn home siding, just sayin'. Glad you showed a bit of the blocking, I was having a hard time 'seeing' it during the patch. Good info. we are going to have to replace a floor and will be blocking. Thanks!! Glad you recognized that it was time to stop, possibly would have led to later regrets.
Love that you kept it real....there are some days trying to push through isn’t the answer..you often can end up redoing mistakes...good call on ending the day when you did...some parts of Reno can feel slow in the progress...so until next time 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️🙋🏻♀️🇬🇧💕jane
Thanks for this vid, have a doublewide we bought to live in until we built a house, but then an unfortunate divorce happened, so I am going to repair this doublewide myself. paycheck to paycheck. Nice to see videos of someone else doing it. I've subscribed, and will be watching the rest of this series as I have the time :)
I did complete make overs in my house it takes awhile and at end day you feel so tired and ready to be done, but when its done it looks and feels so much better. Take care
Awesome hard work we are going forward in purchasing a 1600 sq ft Jacobson manufacture home 1987. Wait a minute don’t laugh for 200k on a small lot but navigable water in back yard to the ocean... You are truly opening my eyes to how much work this rehab could be🤪🤦♀️.
I'm gonna have to do some patch work on our doublewide floor. In a perfect world that particle board sheathing should last forever but it doesn't. After moisture or any water leaks its done for. Your doing it right, its worth the extra effort. I need to get me an oscillating cutter like you have. Those things will cut just about anything.
Oh my gosh, I have watched so many videos on removing the floor, many professional companies and this one is the first with your technique. Sawing down the center and removing the staples save so much mess and time. Remodeling a 1979 double wide next month and all the floors and walls have to be removed so thank you for this video! 💞
My dad who was quite a handyman lagged the roof space on our very large home. He said that anything that was dropped on, or pressed on the fibre glass insulation, ruined its insulation properties.
That was hard work and Sam you are right if you are too tired to do it right you do need to stop and rest so when you go back at it you can do it right and not have to worry
As you saw, many don't take pride in their work especially if it's not their own home. Love how you're doing it right! Lots of work but worth the effort when it's finished! TFS :)
Don't judge others so harsh. Some things are beyond our funds. I had a whole new roof installed and before that I had bad leak that I was catching water from a bucket as I was removing it my foot when through the floor. I placed a board over the spot and it will stay there until I have the money to fix it. I am willing to live with just subfloor until I have the money to replace the flooring. It is hard to find renovators that will work on a mobile. I do take pride in my home.
It’s a year later and your video is still helpful, detailed and you two are so funny!! We are needing to replace areas of our mh until we can afford a new home. The amount licensed contractors were going to cost, we could use that as a down payment on a new one!!! So your videos gives us the directions for doing it ourselves. Thanks so much for sharing and being funny doing it!!😂🤪
Our pleasure! We're just about to finish our new pantry/laundry room reno so if you're interested in them, check out our newest videos. :) Since moving our home to another state (also in a video) we decided to do our last batch of renovations before moving back into it. In the meantime we're in a camper on our land. :)
Good work you two plus the little guys. So glad you are removing the “pressed wood” subfloor and doing blocking. You will never regret the extra mile..rest good! I know you two are tired that is a lot of work ! all the best to you.
Amazing what is found when walls and floors are torn out. Happy to see you take your time and do it right. It will pay off in the end. The room is going to look great. God bless you.
Me and my husband bought a fixer upper double wide and we have done replaced our subfloor in the kitchen and both bathrooms but we still have a few more rooms to do, mainly because when they built the house they didn't put no bracing where the plywood joins another piece all they have is the floor joyce running one way. We have done a lot of work to the property in 10 months of owning it but we still have so much to do till it is finished. We are doing renovations when we have the money to do it ( pretty much pay check to pay check) but we have went into debt buying the house and the property.
Great video - I learn so much. I’ve purchased an older mobile home too and working on renovating. Thank you - love you showing the tools you use. I’m uneducated on tools so I really appreciate your information. 😊
I’m starting my own project on remodeling a single wide And watching your video has really helped great selection on tools as well, thank you for sharing
ya'll seem like really nice folk. Thank you for the video. I live in a 1999 singlewide and I'm going to be repairing my floors throughout and I'm green as green can be so I do enjoy your video as it gives me somethings to look forward to.
I watch you guys all the time. Your House is looking good. I feel you pain . I paid someone to side my house it looked good but i started getting sick.No idea what was wrong to find out i had mold growing .My son and nephew resided my house. I bought a new shower for the Master Bath could not get it through the front door . Well have some pretty big windows in the house so the shower come through my bed room window.Found out the man who worked on my house before he took my window when he put the window back in he only put 7 yes 7 screws to hold my window in.it hold 70 screws so we had to fix that. If you do the work your self then you know it is done right.Be careful when you are working it is easy to get hurt..
Thankfully I live in a bungalow with concrete floors , I'm enjoying watching all your hard work it is nice to see people taken pride it what they do , and did you notice how quiet the boys were with their masks on , stay safe and well ... Debbie from Norfolk, UK
You guys are awesome! You guys have great chemistry, and seem to work really well together! Thank you so much for letting me watch this process with you guys.
Don’t get down. I’m a big heavyset boy myself. And it takes me sometimes a week to do one project. The main thing is is always get back on that horse and keep moving the next day or a few days after. And it will get done.
I have just binged watched your Kitchen/diner videos, soap shack, already seen the roof one ( came over from Diyferent) and now watching the boys bedroom makeover. Loving your Chanel and your videos, I know I have a few years to catch up on but I am sure I will eventually. Take care and God bless, oh and thanks for sharing.
Sam and Angela. Always love the content. Hey guys I watch Drews Roofing & Home Repair and he repairs hundreds of Mobile Home Floors and Roofs. He uses a Toe Kick Cut Off Saw from Harbor Freight to flush cut floors against bottom plates and cross cuts infield. I had never heard of such a Saw, of course that's not saying much. I think its like $75 dollars, not to bad. Keep up the great content.
I found your video today. My '88 double wide has 2 weak/soft spots in the utility room floor. This gives me an idea of how to begin working on my floor. Thanks for you video!
Thank yoi guys. I know its been a couple years since this video. I hqve been trying to find a general handyman who does everything with trailers and they dont seem to be around as much so its looking like i will have to do my own as well.❤
Good job well done‼️ 👏 🤩 Breathe. Progress feels good❗Now you can move on. Blocking is a back breaker, but oh so satisfying a job. 👌 I'll over before you know it, and you'll be SO glad you did it‼️👍😎
I love this kind of "stuff"!! Wondering if you could not have taken out the tack strip & strategically make the cuts as you took the floor out. This is not a question requiring an answer, I was just wondering. I'll see you next time !! God Bless
Great question, and one that gets answered in our next video. But to answer you now... no. That insulation is key for keeping our pipes from freezing as it forms the bottom layer of the home's underbelly. Now, that being said, we will do as we've done in other areas of the home and insulate the floor between the joists to keep the inside of the home warmer. :)
Hello, We my wife an I redone our own home, went over the hole house outside to the in side, 3/4" ply wood in all the floor, back when wood wasn't so High as it is now? 16 years ago wireing an all, yes it was hard work, tears, blood, sweat, all the above, so yes, our home is a 14×70 something long, so yall keep up the great wook don't give up? U can do this, get it done while ue young an in good shap ; later look back an see what uv done!! Rick.Mary Whitaker Arkansas Van Buren.
You both are awesome, doing a great job love your work and understand the process as I have done construction, renovation, demolition, landscaper, as a builder's labour most of my life would have Loved to have helped you both you and I will be so proud of you both when you have achieved what you have set out to achieve keep well and strong, God bless you both.
Thank you for this I really need to replace some floors due to cat pee. Also, I have a rank smell coming from the floors/vents in the hot season which might mean I need to replace the floor insulation and whatever else needs replacing under there. I'm thinking of replacing the walls and insulation too. My mobilehome is a 2000 Silverado (or something like that). I know you will love your new home!
The wisest decisions are made with a rested body and a clear mind . Know when to say ‘when’!!! And don’t feel a need to apologize for it . I just know that the finished room will be beautiful !! Sleep tight 😴 😘
You both are hard workers but the results you achieve are soooo worth it & not forgetting the pride you feel when you see the end result & know its been done PROPERLY !! TFS

I really enjoy your videos. I have 1971 skyline. I'm intimidated by putting a exterior combination door
I absolutely loved their reasoning for some of these projects, it was for the “wam fuzzy feelings” and not necessary the money. You guys are the best!

Cross bracing would probably help also with that span.

Don't need any blocking when the floor decking spans the whole width of the mobile home.
Look'n good! You got this!
It's going well and yes, it is a ton of work. Your home is going to be solid as a rock when you are done. Excited to see the next video.

Love what u r doing. It is my hope to be able to buy a used mobile home and fix it up so that once I retire I will not have to pay payments
That's a lot of work. Been there, done that. Good idea taking a break.
You guys do such a good job. You are both extremely talented.
They are for sure. It takes a special person to work on them

Just bought our 1st mobile home. Floor in bedroom needs fixed so this video was perfect and fun to watch! Thanks
Glad it helped!
You guys work hard, but it will be super when it's done.
It's the outcome that keeps us going through the grunt work. :)
As you saw, many don't take pride in their work especially if it's not their own home. Love how you're doing it right! Lots of work but worth the effort when it's finished! TFS :)
Sad but true... probably the #1 reason why we try to do anything and everything ourselves, too. Thanks Elaine!!
@@sam-and-angela you're welcome. That's what I appreciate about your videos. I see that you both take pride in your work. It matters! :)
Pride is everything I also take pride in my mobile home work and the mobile is not mine
Don't judge others so harsh. Some things are beyond our funds. I had a whole new roof installed and before that I had bad leak that I was catching water from a bucket as I was removing it my foot when through the floor. I placed a board over the spot and it will stay there until I have the money to fix it. I am willing to live with just subfloor until I have the money to replace the flooring.
It is hard to find renovators that will work on a mobile. I do take pride in my home.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything towards those who can't afford to do anything , I meant as you do the work, you do it well. @@melaniehampton5562
I did carpet and tack strip removal a couple decades ago. It was tough. I glad I never have to do that again.
It’s a year later and your video is still helpful, detailed and you two are so funny!! We are needing to replace areas of our mh until we can afford a new home.
The amount licensed contractors were going to cost, we could use that as a down payment on a new one!!!
So your videos gives us the directions for doing it ourselves.
Thanks so much for sharing and being funny doing it!!😂🤪
Our pleasure! We're just about to finish our new pantry/laundry room reno so if you're interested in them, check out our newest videos. :) Since moving our home to another state (also in a video) we decided to do our last batch of renovations before moving back into it. In the meantime we're in a camper on our land. :)
The oscillating saw are good tools the blades are expensive
They make blade for every job.
Oh my gosh, you guys are such a good team.
Oh my goodness what a chore this project is I know that your ready for it to be in the finishing stages.
I enjoy watching you, and may God bless the labour on your hands 🙏🏻🤓
Good work you two plus the little guys. So glad you are removing the “pressed wood” subfloor and doing blocking. You will never regret the extra mile..rest good! I know you two are tired that is a lot of work ! all the best to you.
Thanks for taking the time to do the patch job, very helpful
Amazing what is found when walls and floors are torn out. Happy to see you take your time and do it right. It will pay off in the end. The room is going to look great. God bless you.
Me and my husband bought a fixer upper double wide and we have done replaced our subfloor in the kitchen and both bathrooms but we still have a few more rooms to do, mainly because when they built the house they didn't put no bracing where the plywood joins another piece all they have is the floor joyce running one way. We have done a lot of work to the property in 10 months of owning it but we still have so much to do till it is finished. We are doing renovations when we have the money to do it ( pretty much pay check to pay check) but we have went into debt buying the house and the property.
I enjoy watching your videos you two are a great couple working together is not always easy plus when you get done you will have a new home
Love it! I Have about 90% of a floor to take out in a 84 doublewide
Awesome video! You are a great team, including your little men 😊
Great video - I learn so much. I’ve purchased an older mobile home too and working on renovating. Thank you - love you showing the tools you use. I’m uneducated on tools so I really appreciate your information. 😊
it is not to hard when you get into it
I'm happy to see that you guys are replacing the insulation too! It will be nice to have everything fresh and clean! Great job so far!
Yes! It sure will! :)
I agree
This channel is awesome for mobile home investors
I can’t wait for it to come to gether I know it’s going to be beautiful tyfs hugs
Enjoy your videos very much - your personalities make the mundane but hard work very watchable!
Love from Tennessee! Love your channel!
I’m starting my own project on remodeling a single wide
And watching your video has really helped great selection on tools as well, thank you for sharing
Without the closet it looks to be a great size room for the boys, looking forward to seeing the transformation.
Great job! Happy for you!
Nice to see you clean up other people stuff. Good job
Craftsman trivia...oscillating tools originated as surgeons' bone saws. That's why they are designed to get in where you need to go.
I’m loving the soundtrack to your videos 😊👍🏻
Yay, thank you!
ya'll seem like really nice folk. Thank you for the video. I live in a 1999 singlewide and I'm going to be repairing my floors throughout and I'm green as green can be so I do enjoy your video as it gives me somethings to look forward to.
I watch you guys all the time. Your House is looking good. I feel you pain . I paid someone to side my house it looked good but i started getting sick.No idea what was wrong to find out i had mold growing .My son and nephew resided my house. I bought a new shower for the Master Bath could not get it through the front door . Well have some pretty big windows in the house so the shower come through my bed room window.Found out the man who worked on my house before he took my window when he put the window back in he only put 7 yes 7 screws to hold my window in.it hold 70 screws so we had to fix that. If you do the work your self then you know it is done right.Be careful when you are working it is easy to get hurt..
Thankfully I live in a bungalow with concrete floors , I'm enjoying watching all your hard work it is nice to see people taken pride it what they do , and did you notice how quiet the boys were with their masks on , stay safe and well ... Debbie from Norfolk, UK
You guys are awesome! You guys have great chemistry, and seem to work really well together! Thank you so much for letting me watch this process with you guys.
I completely love watching your builds. Keep up the great work!
Nice work, the room is going to be a big improvement. ❤
Don’t get down. I’m a big heavyset boy myself. And it takes me sometimes a week to do one project. The main thing is is always get back on that horse and keep moving the next day or a few days after. And it will get done.
I have just binged watched your Kitchen/diner videos, soap shack, already seen the roof one ( came over from Diyferent) and now watching the boys bedroom makeover. Loving your Chanel and your videos, I know I have a few years to catch up on but I am sure I will eventually. Take care and God bless, oh and thanks for sharing.
Thank you do much for these videos! We're replacing a mobile home bedroom floor this weekend, so I'm sure I'll be referring back to your videos often.
Sam and Angela. Always love the content. Hey guys I watch Drews Roofing & Home Repair and he repairs hundreds of Mobile Home Floors and Roofs. He uses a Toe Kick Cut Off Saw from Harbor Freight to flush cut floors against bottom plates and cross cuts infield. I had never heard of such a Saw, of course that's not saying much. I think its like $75 dollars, not to bad. Keep up the great content.
I found your video today. My '88 double wide has 2 weak/soft spots in the utility room floor. This gives me an idea of how to begin working on my floor. Thanks for you video!
Thank yoi guys. I know its been a couple years since this video. I hqve been trying to find a general handyman who does everything with trailers and they dont seem to be around as much so its looking like i will have to do my own as well.❤
I do appreciate you guys showing every step. It makes it easier for me to understand and learn.
Good job well done‼️ 👏 🤩
Breathe. Progress feels good❗Now you can move on. Blocking is a back breaker, but oh so satisfying a job. 👌 I'll over before you know it, and you'll be SO glad you did it‼️👍😎
I love this kind of "stuff"!! Wondering if you could not have taken out the tack strip & strategically make the cuts as you took the floor out. This is not a question requiring an answer, I was just wondering. I'll see you next time !! God Bless
Its going to be all brand new....great job as always
Another good job you guys work so hard it looks pretty easy on camera but I’m sure it’s a lot of work can you guys do an excellent job God bless
Yay for getting r done!
I'm looking forward to seeing what you do next! ☮️💖🙏
You work so well together the boys will be so happy. Sam are going to replace the insulation in the floor?
Great question, and one that gets answered in our next video. But to answer you now... no. That insulation is key for keeping our pipes from freezing as it forms the bottom layer of the home's underbelly. Now, that being said, we will do as we've done in other areas of the home and insulate the floor between the joists to keep the inside of the home warmer. :)
Hello, We my wife an I redone our own home, went over the hole house outside to the in side, 3/4" ply wood in all the floor, back when wood wasn't so High as it is now? 16 years ago wireing an all, yes it was hard work, tears, blood, sweat, all the above, so yes, our home is a 14×70 something long, so yall keep up the great wook don't give up? U can do this, get it done while ue young an in good shap ; later look back an see what uv done!! Rick.Mary Whitaker Arkansas Van Buren.
Great job guys! Thanks for video!!
Cute flip flops but, dangerous footwear for construction. It is probably what I would wear. 🤣. Great work!
You both are awesome, doing a great job love your work and understand the process as I have done construction, renovation, demolition, landscaper, as a builder's labour most of my life would have Loved to have helped you both you and I will be so proud of you both when you have achieved what you have set out to achieve keep well and strong, God bless you both.
I love watching there videos
Thank you for this I really need to replace some floors due to cat pee. Also, I have a rank smell coming from the floors/vents in the hot season which might mean I need to replace the floor insulation and whatever else needs replacing under there. I'm thinking of replacing the walls and insulation too. My mobilehome is a 2000 Silverado (or something like that). I know you will love your new home!
The wisest decisions are made with a rested body and a clear mind .
Know when to say ‘when’!!!
And don’t feel a need to apologize for it .
I just know that the finished room will be beautiful !!
Sleep tight 😴 😘
You both are hard workers but the results you achieve are soooo worth it & not forgetting the pride you feel when you see the end result & know its been done PROPERLY !! TFS
Good hard work and done right way.
