Hi Sam
I run in to that problem alot I do remodels in old houses really old an a square wall is really never there your shimed out wall will be fine hide it with shower curtain lol
In the words of my beloved daddy, who would tackle anything tho he had no expertise in anything...... BETTER-N-IT WAS!
Your father was exactly right . Very wise man . .
All the time you spent trying to find some help and couldn’t find any....... now someone else can find help from you. Good on you Sam.
Very true... well said!
Mobile homes are always out of square somewhere. You made the right decision. Well done. Good video
Perfect is just a fantasy! Stop being a perfectionist! You do amazing work. Your results are amazing. Stop worrying!!!!!
Every house needs a "Sam"! Smart, thoughtful, elegant solution for a difficult problem.
Kate you have described this young man beautifully and succinctly.
When you first started your soliloquy, I thought you were going to end up with a franken wall! Not. Would have never noticed it if you hadn’t told us about it. But, one of the things we all love most about you is your ability to find a solution and forge ahead! I’ve seen people get stymied and quit a project for lesser reasons. Kudos for working it out.
That's what I say. Who would really notice except Sam. lol. And most likely, later Sam won't notice it either. Easy to get wrapped into details in the midst of things!!
My thoughts exactly - if anyone can solve it, Sam can.
Come on, how often can you say? “ The party’s in the bathroom “🙃and we all fit!
Good job 👍🏼
Hahahaha love it!
Mental downers happen Sam, you are human, I am sure you will make it all look awesome and purposeful!! Even though it took sometime to gather your thoughts and ideas, you still make me laugh. Take care Sam! :)
Well done Sam! Missed seeing Ang!!!
No worries, with a nice trim, who would ever notice? I sure wouldn't. Great job on finding a resolution to your conundrum!
Just like to say, you guys are awesome. I can see how much this problem has affected you. Best advice when you are stuck is to reach out to your followers. You'll get there. The harder the job is, the bigger sense of accomplishment at the end. Ps everybody needs a break sometimes, you guys work so hard!
Very true!
Have been watching past episodes today, enjoyed your mini tractor overhaul, clutch etc...I must say, I admire your persistence, you hit walls, and forge on and find your way through to a good result....so take heart in your accomplishments and tenacity and work ethics. Remember, you have almost completely renovated your home and have done a bang up sterling job...and in between you've built brand new buildings, farmed animals and veggies and given yourself and Angela great work spaces freeing up copious amounts of real estate in your home to be reclaimed for spacious living. WOW!
And you have built a great youtube bus/ channel with a long list of videos for your fans to scroll through.. stand tall and take heart and be proud.
Well said and greatly appreciated! :)
Smart man to take your time to figure out the best way to fix a problem! Good job! I am sure the rooms are going to look awesome 👍
Thanks!
Looks good. You made the right choice on the wall
Great thinking Sam. I know its difficult, but you are doing well. I LOVE your biblical quote at the end. #Awesome.
assess...adapt.....overcome... you got this bro.
We just took out our fiberglass shower and tub today. As you were explaining your dilemma I was thinking wow poor guy. Then discovered we have the same problem. You just solved my problem as well! Thank you for sharing! Sending positive thoughts my friends!
Oh wow! So glad we could help then! This makes our strife worth it in the end. :) Good luck!!!
You do you! It will look great!
Sam you are doing great work it’s looking wonderful take care and God bless
We're doing renovation of our 1967 Mobile home...hang in there. Been renovating since June,2022.....Installed all new Truewood shirting,8 windows,tore down old shed-built new one, painted the whole outside(including porch, built new stairs. Built a landscaping timber 3x12 planter box.....did a little outside faucet repairs and built new exterior hot water tank door. Just started the bathroom, with refinished shower pan, re-studded some walls with water barrier. And we're doing all this on weekends. We still live in another home 2 1/2 hours away. Next trip up I start drywalling the shower, plus of course did lots of other little projects here and there, like installing kitchen ceiling light/fan, moving in new refrigerator, washer and dryer( full size units) . Your doing a great job. Oh yeah, we're in our mid-late 60's. God Bless!
Bravo Sam!
I love seeing how you are able to work with things that aren’t perfect...that is real life! I live in a very old farmhouse and DIY all of the time...nothing goes as planned.
My friend, it will look great, go for it
You did Great.
Great job!!! It looks awesome!!
i think you did a great job ...looking good
It looks good 💜
I am loving the outtakes and bloopers once again! 😁👍💕💕💕
Glad you like them! We'll try to keep putting them in when we have them (which is often).
It’s gonna be ok Sam, you got this!! Breathe 🧘♀️
You rock young man!!!
Looks good to me. Don't stress, it's all homestead perfect. Your like my husband, a serious perfectionist. We built a chicken coop that could probably withstand a tornado and earthquake 😂 BTW you look tired in this one, get some rest, you deserve it❤️
Well in a nutshell, shims are your friend. And of all sizes! Btw most all old houses are out of square somewhere. Have fun!
Wow. A lot going on......I would have been completely lost. I am glad you figured it out.......
Sam you are one smart fellow. If I had a problem and you were close I'd go to you and Angela. Your bathroom will be beautiful. Love you all bunches!!!!!!!
We take that as a huge compliment! Thanks!
I was wondering where you were on this project. Good to know Im not the only one who gets workers block LOL I think your solution will work out perfect. Im enjoying the garden videos too :)
There are always inconsistencies to deal with. Good solution Sam.
Are you kidding me! It is the imperfections that make it perfect!!! Great job, well Done. Cheer up buddy.
OmG!!! Sam, you did an amazing job. Consider what you had to do.... AMAZING!!!!! You are awesome
Thank you so much!!
It's looking great! God bless you and your family!
I was impressed!! 2 GOLD stars for you!!
You’re doing a great job, Sam .... don’t worry about what other people say you should do. Do what you have to, to get your project fitted to your conditions.
Rooting for fewer stumbling blocks for you
You two are absolutely amazing. I love how you figure things out and keep moving forward. You are wonderful examples to your two sons. Keep the faith.
Thank you so much!
Paused for a week!! It took me months to figure out how to fix this very same problem in my mobile home and then get motivated to finish it. Thank God it is finished and I love it. Keep going. It looks great
Looking good. Your dilemma reminds me of the problems you face while remodeling our old farmhouses. It'll look good in the end. Best part is, it'll be new, safe and beautiful!
I have a step out on my trailer tub as well.. not a real big deal.. it has a nice trim to make it look good.. it was manufactured that way
Looks good.
Sometimes it’s good to take a break from something that’s frustrating.
That’s how mobile home remodeling goes, I know. It’s good to have that behind you.
Everybody deserves a break once in a while you’ll figure it out or you already have obviously. Looking good as always keep up the good work.
Great solution!!!!! You and your wife are amazing 👫. No matter what you do...love your channel!! 😍😍
Thanks so much!!
It’s always the ‘figure it out’ part that seems so time consuming. The actual work is way easier!! Good job. Your solution is spot on. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
You always find a solution.
Great work. Love your channel.
Looks like your plan worked out well.
Sam, great resolution to your problem. Sorry, you were so stressed. It does not matter what someone else may NOT notice.
Loved the boys artwork on tbe inside of the drywall.
Missed seeing Angela.
First of all I show my respect for explaining what happened and why there are no videos about the bathroom.. other just go over it and try to cover the things that happen. You show up, explain and go up with a solution! Thanks for that! Shit happen, but you learned about it and now you found energy again to go on! I can’t wait for more! To see you alone in this vid is something new, but you manage it, and Angela will be back in the next vid! I love your humor and your positivity! 👍🏻
things happen, but i don't think the bump out will even be an issue, like you said a pretty shower curtain will take care of it..sorry for the hiccup. but you have given the time to figure out what is best for you. i know it will all look wonderful.
I feel your pain! We’ve been working for months trying to get bathrooms worked on. Keep at it - the struggles are frustrating but y’all are doing a great job! 🙏🏼
Sam, I love ALL your videos. Good to know you've solved the issues you encountered. You are the best!!
you are doing a better job than a lot of contractors would..
Looking good Sam! It's always something so I guess we know to depend on that no matter who takes a project!
I am excited and think it will be just fine. No worries! Everyone needs a mental break from DIY every now and again......I know WE DO. LOL Excited to see what you do next and I know it's going to be a wonderful improvement for you all and it will be fresh and new and absolutely wonderful!
Blessings
Thank you so much for this comment, it's very encouraging to us!!
@@sam-and-angela You are both doing marvelous. It can get overwhelming and sometimes you just need to walk away and leave it for a bit and then regain momentum. Also hard to have spring and planting season nagging at us and we want to get out in the garden and do fresh new things. Just breathe easy and you will get the groove on again and it will be better than ever. Sometimes we are so deep into a project we live, eat and breathe it and it's too much. Often we see better by walking away and coming back for a fresh view and it's all right in front of us. You two have failed at nothing you have gone to do nor will you now. You are both VERY talented in many many ways and expect a lot of ourselves and we don't settle for normal easily.......we want it perfect! LOL And it will be. You guys are rocking it!
God bless ....... live each day as it comes and knowing you guys, it will be better than it was originally. High FIVE to you both and keep on keeping on!!! Love it!
You did a great job of figuring it all out, and It's looking great! Enjoy your video's.
Good enough for government work! You got this ☺️
True!!
Way to go Sam. It will be perfect looking however you do it. You make things work for your family.
Being a perfection is is a life long battle. Whatever you do it always turns out great. I'm glad to see you working on the boys bathroom bedroom Call sure to the time were you get your own Room back.
You might consider installing a sliding shower door so you can actually align the edge of the frame with the stepdown on the drywall and you won't even see the stepdown. Just a thought. Ya'll are doing a great job.
We'll have to check into that, thanks!
Sounds like a perfect plan to me! Keep on keeping on. It all worked out. You Needed a little extra room for the vent pipe anyway
Nothing wrong with the a break. Mental sanity in a family means a lot & taking time to make adjustments! You got this!
Projects are rough. I think you're going the right way. Can't lose hope now! You're almost in the home stretch
So true!
Sam, you are a true inspiration for me, well you and your lovely wife both! I am single handed doing many things you are doing to your single wide but on a 2004 Clayton 32X72 that has a lot of water damage due to the previous owner not replacing the roof and watching your videos gives me hope I can do it all DIY and love DIY projects and working on my home! I have always been a DIYer growing up poor and living in a DW myself and love manufactured homes. I watch yalls videos all the time and you really help me think outside the box. I wish we were friends where I could ask your opinions which are plentiful but your home has come such a long ways and I am keeping on being a fan! Take care and God bless you both! Kory from Texas
Trailers yes I had the same problem.😬
Looks wonderful!
You do great work !!
Sometimes best thing is to leave it alone for awhile. .glad you figured it out. might help someone else runs into this issue, great job Sam.. Be Blessed..
It's perfectly imperfect. No worries.
I think things are going to turn out just fine...You've got this!
Part of it could be spring fever. I understand the mental stress past few wks too. I had replace hot water heater and then another pinhole in poly b pipe. Getting close to replumb it all. My mobile home supply store said they are having hard time getting tubs and showers. I looked online getting subfloor and Lowe's in my area is out. So u might want buy extra of what u can drywall etc for ur projects. Great video. Your doing great job I'm learning lots from u guys.
I think it looks professionally done! If you had said last week you had run into a glitch, I would have put my full confidence in you solving the problem. Outstanding resolution.
Oh ,Sam -- what ever the challenge, you always find a solution!!! ❤️
Well done Sam. My TAFE college carpentry teacher told the class I was in that carpentry is 1% building and 99% fixing mistakes
Its great to see the drywall go up ,so fast .making it more complete and satisfying to see that .
Great video, Sam. You do make me smile
I'm remodeling most of my "new to me" 1995 mobile home and I've adopted the opinion that if it works, looks to suit, and is gonna hold up, call it good and move on to the next. As long as you can live with it that's all that matters. Seems after every project I end up saying "it's good enough for who it's for." Nice fix man.
Wow! I feel very normal now, knowing that I'm not the only one who gets stuck on projects, especially on the bathrooms. You have truly giving me inspiration and motivation! I look at this way, better to be safe than sorry. In all my years of remodeling nothing is ever square. Mobile homes are a lot different from foundation homes. After framing, drywall, mudding, flooring, decorating is the easiest. Thank you again for your honesty! God Bless you, Sam and Angela!
I'm really glad to hear this was helpful for you! I'm an over-thinker on things and can get stuck sometimes, but am very glad this one is behind me. LOL
Doing a total gut job and Reno on a double wide here in Northern Ontario Canada. You two are our heroes!!!
Omg! I just had the same problem as you Sam. To short of a tub. Got someone to fix it but I'm not all that happy with it. He would never listen to me.... your doing great.
The LED banding and the music made an awesome retro game feel. Gave it a Fix it Felix Jr feel for sure. Great job.
Well done Sam! We have all hit walls when we are in a project...sometimes we have to go recharge our batteries and allow our brains as rest. While we are resting, our subconscious solves the problems without using up our energy. The bathroom looks awesome and everything is going to be so nice when it’s done. Not much more to go! Closer now than when you started for sure!
Missed Angela today and those helpful boys!
You are so right! Maybe taking the time off to tinker in the garden/greenhouse helped me. :)
It looks amazing! What a headache, but again you fixed the problem and forged ahead! So proud of you and Angela! God bless your family!
Hi guys still watching! Blessings
You are very entertaining Sam. Enjoyed very much. God’s blessings sir.
You always do a thorough job of thinking your way through a problem. Good work. If you guys keep having such funny outtakes I may start there first. 😃😃😃
GREAT JOB SAM!! EVERYONE HAS A POINT IN THEIR PROJECTS THAT THEY NEED TO STEP AWAY TO MAKE SURE WHAT NEEDS BEING DONE IS CORRECT ESPECIALLY WITH THE COST OF MATERIALS NOW. DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP SAM FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING, IT IS LOOKING GOOD.
The other bathroom, bought a 54 inch shower with sliding shower door to replace the tub. The walls will be tiled redcoat was used after the vinyl wallpaper was stripped off the walls. The ceiling was popcorn coated, it was scrapped off. The adjoining vanity room and shower room was join compound and sanded (using 6 inch sanding block) painted 2 coats of Zintzer 123 Kilz water based primer. Painted ceiling flat finish 2 coats, walls low luster on the walls. This really made the bathroom brighter and roomier.
Good job Sam !!
This was a GREAT video!! You showed us how to fix a difficult situation when you didn't have anyone else's experience to go on. Chances are that you weren't the first person to run into something like that, you were just the first to be real and deal with it in front of an audience. Somebody else will need to know this one day! Thanks for publishing it!
Well said!! Thank you
You always come up with a solution that works! Great job Sam, congrats!
The bump out will look fine ... also if you're going to put up a decorative shower curtain...that would help blend it in.
Son y'all are doing GREAT!.
Giving y'all both a big virtual high 5!
Never give up, never surrender!! Sam you guys are an inspiration on how to power through. Life will have a tendency to get us down but, pushing through makes us better ppl. Well done so far guys. Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!
Yes, I enjoyed watching you work! Now go get some rest!
Thank you,you did a great job
I agree that that little bump out will be a non issue. I understand what it is like to require some time to settle on a solution when things don't go the way they are 'supposed to'. You both made a good decision. Looking forward to the future episodes!
