Nasty Mobile Home Kitchen Demolition

- Not all mobile home kitchens are nasty, but this one definitely is! We are so happy to gut this kitchen so we can start over fresh!
We are a DIY family trying to build a better life. We like to share projects and regular life updates. Our goals are to create a happy home, live healthy, develop our life skills, and see where our life leads us.
I spent one whole summer redoing our Mobile home kitchen. I found MAJOR water damage from under the kitchen cabinet all the way to the corner behind the refrigerator. The floor was rotten. The sill plate and 2 feet up every stud was rotted. I had to replace all of that. My biggest issue was setting the new cabinets. My brother from Texas came and helped because I couldn't get things square. Mobile homes are NOT square. It turned out fantastic, but what a PAIN!! NEVER AGAIN. I never want to do another Mobile home kitchen.
@housedimitrescu7196 having moved two...the bigger ones...they don't quite transport well. Stuff breaks, especially toilets. Probably as there isn't much give in porcelain, they crack.
Never say never. 😅 But bottom line is You Did It!
Doug, I am SO glad you have that respirator. I can’t imagine doing these gross dirty jobs without it. You are an amazing builder. I read a super nice complement on your channel the other day. About how calm Ashley remains in a crisis and what a blessing a calm wife is. And I agree completely. You and Ashley complement each other’s personalities perfectly. You make such a solid team. I feel like I know you and we are friends. Love you guys ❤
I own a plot of garden land for a year now, and I am amused and ashamed at the same time how much metal scraps previous owners buried here and there. I am very glad to hear all that appliances get scrapped!
Wow, you've had quite the workout with that kitchen and there's more to come. Great job Doug and Ashley! Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤❤
I've been cleaning out my house & putting "Free" sign at the curb. Lots of good stuff that I no longer need & people are so happy to get the items & thank me! Beats filling up landfills & yard sales are too hard to do any more! So glad you put some of stuff out to make a few bucks for someone who needs it! Nice area for a lovely kitchen to come!
That was alot of hard work! Soon you get to start the fun part of putting it all back together. I look forward to seeing what you and Ashley have planned for the place!
You and Ashley are without a doubt some of the hardest working people I know. Great Job.
Yuck! That WAS a nasty kitchen! Great job dismantling it! I can't wait to see what your vision is for reconfiguring the space. I did like how the bar/seating area opened into the living room.
I still love the layout this kitchen had. Especially for a mobile home. It almost looks like the cabinet in the far corner might have been a desk before and not completely original underneath? That was a lot of work! What is it about mobile home cabinets? So flimsy while using them but a complete pain to remove.😂
Dont you just love it when Doug gets all whack happy?
Boy I do!
Love all of your videos. I've been watching for 5 years or more.
When is Ashley getting her own kitchen? Can't imagine her camp cooking all of these years. Your kids are really growing.
Kitchen will get done towards the end. But Doug does the cooking :)
@@diyfferent lol. 😁
I just asked him what's for dinner. I didn't know he was actually the cook. 😂
@@diyfferent I,m curious what you guys like to eat. I bet you would get a fair bit of views to watch Doug cook.
I can't believe how nosey people are!
@@krystalaura5634 My comment was in regards to they make so many amazing healthy choices with the way they build I though they might have healthy cooking ideas we could all benefit from. Also since they earn there living from making videos I honestly think the video of Doug cooking would be very popular
I always have faith in Doug and Ashley, no matter how awful the project is. They will do what is necessary or rethink their approach. God bless you.❤
Yeah so true
Despite how dirty that kitchen was, I still liked the layout. Yeah that stovetop looked almost new.
Me too. It really is a nice size for a single wide.
Happy Monday!
I felt like you were taking anger out on that kitchen. I even got hit in the eye by flying debris 😂😂😂
I have to remember not to eat when I'm watching demos, I should have realized that with "kitchens are nasty"
Ruth here, That wallpaper behind the cupboard, that brings back memories, 😊
Doug and Ashley. I applaud you. Hard workers and sweet people. I would run out screaming if i saw bugs/spiders. On second thought, i wouldnt be in there in the first place. Good luck on your project. Be safe. God bless.
Wow, you know how to take a room down. Great job!
I'm sure it felt good to have all that old stuff out. What a job but well done.
There is no better way to get frustrations out than to tear something apart. Great job, you two!
I don’t remember if I’ve said this before so I’m saying it now. Of all the tools you have bought over the years to make remodeling easier for you, getting the ventilating hood was the best investment for jobs like this and previous ones you used it in, IMO. Over the years as I’m getting older, the projects you and Ashley take on seem harder and harder. You both have my admiration for your optimism, energy, determination, commitment and imagination in everything you’ve tackled and completed. I’m glad this part (seems hardest to me!) is almost over! 👍💕😊
for sure
I imagine once you’ve gutted the place & have a totally clean slate to work with….that must be an exciting turning point! Then you start to get your creativity going & do the magic you do!! (Btw Ashley, I know you don’t like being filmed in your glasses, but honest, you look nice in them; they’re part of your look. I was thinking this as I saw how nice you looked with your sunglasses. My 25 yr old autistic son said to me the other day, “Mom! Put your glasses back on, you look so much nicer with them!!” 🙄 Please try not to be so self conscious, you’re a pretty woman!)
Git 'er done!
My heart literally races while I watch Ashley and you do these demo videos.
It's so much work by just 2 people, yet it never phases either of you while I'm sitting here, exasperated, and didn't lift a finger except to keep clicking my mouse as I go back and watch over and over ...
I don't know if you realize when we say we admire you all, how much we really mean that.
Sending so much love to you all! 🥰🤗
Nice job Doug!! That was a lot of physical work but you got it done! This video could not have come at a better time for me... Thank you for sharing with us All how to get things done when myself personally have no idea! You are Appreciated! Blessings and Love to you All 🙏♥️🙏♥️
Well that's done now great job Doug! I know your not done but that part is probably the worst part of the demolition, 😅 have a wonderful day !
When you said demo the kitchen you meant it and was definitely on a mission to get it out ❤ I am so impressed with the progress you both have made and can’t wait to see the vision you have for this project
Major progress and I can't wait to see it when you're done! It's going to be so fresh and new! ❤🎉
Those of us who are long timers know you've tried the scrapping route before and it just wasn't worth the hassle in the end for you. Perfect idea to let those who do it as a profession grab these items from the side of the road. I'm hoping yall are going to keep as high a ceiling through the whole house as you can.
That looked like it was not fun at all .I bet you are super happy it is done with . I didn’t see anything worth saving in there either. Great job as usual . Good luck with the floors .
I get tired just watching you guys work so hard ! Nice work!
Still have the willies from that spider. You guys are brave and intrepid!!!😅
I can't wait to see the new floorplan ❤❤
I totally agree about starting fresh. The hours it would take to clean something that is old and overused to begin with is not worth it. Time is money.
And mobile homes notoriously have poorly built cabinets etc.
Loved watching this demo Doug well done 👏
Doug, it's my own fault. I enjoy watching all the deconstruction. Then today we got some close ups of cockroaches (dead) and a few years ago I would have terrors for a while. Now that I'm 70, I've grown out of the worst of my fears. I can handle anything but those lovely critters. I'll just avert my gaze if I think something is going to appear. Really enjoying the remodeling, you make it look so easy. Glad you include the kids. They will never forget the times with mama and poppa. And all you're teaching them. God bless you and family.
Doug, you bring new meaning to the term, ‘sweat equity.’ Between the challenging demolition and seeing your hard work under challenging weather conditions, it’s miraculous you are doing as much as you are doing.
Ashley, we know you are behind the scenes doing a fabulous clean up job ❤ and watching the kids, cooking, cleaning your own home.
And, both of you are busy with videos for us. Thank you for sharing this part of your journey with us.
Be well, be blessed ❤
I totally agree. They are a mighty example of how much it takes to make progress.
I remember rehabbing our '74 Dbl wide's kitchen. It wasn't that big, and the cabinet frames were solid so we rebuilt using the frames. New cherry doors (28)/drawers (7) & all the hardware. We applied cherry veneer and re-faced the cabinets. Stained everything in cherry. Rebuilt the floors, put in CoreTex H2O proof LVF throughout the entire house. Cleaned & Painted over all the inside cabinet surfaces, the paper was "Paul Revere" themed!!!! It was weird paper!! Seeing the paper in your MH reminded of our remodel! It was sooo worth all the hard work. That kitchen sold that house for us. It was very nice when we finished. 😊
Doug you deserve a nice warm shower and a nap! Keep. Doing. You. 🌵🌻🎶
Great job! Stay cool in this heat!
You're amazing young man you're doing a great job
Who would have guessed, not that many years ago, that an old mobile home, on it's own plot of land, would be worth as much as it is today? Being totally renovated makes it worth so much more. In my area, a mobile home, on it's own private lot (not in a park), used to rent for $250.-$350., but now they rent for $900.- $1k a month, and that's without, or a very minimual cosmetic reno, and we're no where near FL. You never have to worry about supporting your family, because of your skill set regarding mobile homes, and being in FL, you're in the perfect location. You could make a small fortune doing reno's/repair's on other people's mobile homes, just by word of mouth, should you ever want, or need to.
So satisfying! Getting rid of the old stuff. Watch your back! God bless
Wow, Doug, Ashley you both doing a great job, thanks for sharing your video, wishing y'all have a lovely day.
My husband and I have started watching your TH-cam channel. We are amazed that you do these demolitions with a hammer and crowbar! Looking forward to seeing the outcome if your home and this investment property. Stay healthy, and be careful!
Doug, that postcard was sent from Spangdahlem Air Base in Germany. I was stationed there when I was in the Air Force back in the late 80s. I recognized the address. Dave in TX
Wow. Great back story thx for posting.
That sure brought back memories, That was a time before the internet and email. Sending letters was mostly how we communicated with folks back home. We had one pay phone in the barracks we all had to share if we wanted to call home. It cost a bunch so we couldn't do it all the time. Just reminiscing.....
@chesterdroors1605 my son was in the army and too broke to phone home most of the time. He was not a writer either. So no letters. But he did his time and was stationed in Germany & a few other countries. I hope you came home safe & healthy as he did.
@@denisewilson8367 Yes I made it home OK. While I was there the wall fell in Berlin and Communism collapsed so there wasn't much danger in Europe at that time. However the day before I left Europe Saddam invaded Kuwait and everyone was on alert for terrorists. I spent the whole 1st gulf war in Texas watching it on CNN like everyone else.
Love watching when it’s demolition time👍👏😊
Good demo job! Just a little bit more and you’ll be ready to rebuild!
The way that has opened up you could completely redo the entire layout opening it up like you did in Michigan. Been following your remodels for years now and you always seem to do something unexpected (in a good way). So what are your plans for the mobile home design wise? Are you going to do a new layout, new windows and doors? What about air conditioning will it be central air or mini splits? Just curious. 😊.
I wish I could show the new layout but I know that a lot of people don't understand our vision and we'll just get a lot of critiques and suggestions. It may be best for us to just work and share it as we go. But there will be some big changes. The doors and windows are all shot. They need to be replaced. And we are expecting to install mini splits.
I’m so excited for this makeover!!
Going to be fun to see how you rebuild the trailer. Thanks ❤😊🌹
Nothing like a Monday Demolition with Doug to start the week out right😊👍🏻
That was yucky, but thanks for sharing!
Just a suggestion! Get some of the insect foggers put them in the trailer and underneath. You’d know for sure that all the insects are gone. Loving this series!!!❤❤❤❤
I'm with you, I wouldn't keep anything from that kitchen either!
You got lots done today. Probably the worst part. Good for you! 😊
I’m glad you have the protective gear on while you’re doing this.
You could use a 10 lb sledgehammer.
I called scrappers to come get old appliances for me, they even came into the basement to get them. I was happy they could get money for it.
Yea a sledge hammer is definitely handy. Also those big Sawzall/reciprocating saws are a huge help at times.
It was a beautiful home at one time. U will make it beautiful again.
Great work folks ❤️
I think this whole trip of doing 2 remodels at once is amazing ! I can relate to the mobile, I'm in a 77 14X76. We've done a few things over the years and now the floors need recovering but also some fixing to be done. I like to see how you go at it and get it done.
Great work as always, Doug & Ashley. Doug wrecking inside & Ashley hauling it & putting it in the dumpster. That flying piece of trim caught me off guard. Yes, I ducked, LOL.
Can't wait to see your plans for this remodel. All of your others have been beautiful & well thought out. I know this one will be too.
I appreciate all your videos as I am going to be remodeling and adding on to my mother's 1990's mobile home. Thanks!-and may you continue to be blessed with much love and happiness.
Doug, demolition is fun ! It relieves stress and makes for a quick change. I really like the dining room light removal technique.
That was a nasty kitchen and a very nasty job removing it. What a relief now that it is done. I know you were looking forward to a shower afterward. I also know your remodel of it will be done in a very functional way. I like what you did with the metal stull that you took out of it - offering it to someone who can make good use of it or recycle for money.
This kitchen was do gross how can anyone live in this filth thank god its gone as always you do a grand job
Doug: Do you like demolishing a room better than remodeling it, all the detail molding work and doorframes etc?
I dislike doing trim work, But the rebuild is fine, framing, walls, wiring, etc. I like the rebuild better than the demo.
I think take the door off refrig for safety, kids play and climb in..
Well done!
My favourite bit was when Doug walked over & then hit the lower cabinet door, came off with one hammer blow 😀
I love how you have Claus hanging out far in the back looking like a spectre in the videos! Put old guy to work to earn his keep!
Any else @ 12:43 feel like they was at a 3D movie! That was amazing. 😮
Hey, Doug, looking at your work and accomplishments I see one thing missing. It's time after years for you to get a PROPER demolition crowbar. It woild make so much easier work also for Ashley, since it requires less effort to "get it done".. 😉 Cheers, good job and carry on!
Making quick work of the demo! I am amazed this mobile home lasted as long as it did.
Thanks for the video!
Have a great week!
This is why Doug and Ashley start from scratch on rebuilds. You just never know whats under stuff.
Loving Ashleys shades. The house is looking better already and alot of space is being revealed. I'm excited to see how it all turns out.
I continue to be amazed
That trailer going to look beautiful after you and and Ashley gets you hands on it almost ready to rebuild it can’t wait to see it done
Nasty doesn’t begin to cover it!!! I learned important lesson don’t snack while gutting nasty kitchen. You both are always amazing
At about 12:50, looks like your camera needs a face guard, too, lol.
One favor I would ask you to do … when you put closets or upper cabinets back, can you put trim/molding up to the ceiling? Whenever I see cabinets with just a couple inches above, it makes me think it’s unfinished … even in higher end remodels, it just doesn’t look right, PLUS, it’s just another hard to reach dust catcher.
Amazing job, as always ..l can’t wait to see your plans for rebuilding.
It’s funny to see and think about layouts that were done years ago and how much style and tastes have changed. I’m not one for cookie cutter things but if it’s classic, that’s different. Amazing the amount of change in the space you guys have achieved already just gutting it. 😊
What a job!❤
That oven can be cleaned and will outlast anything new you install. Modern appliances only last about 6 years.
It's disgusting do you know mice can get in it and eat the wires, not safe!
They get recycled. 19:10
I can't wait to see the final results, I like your job.
Ta Da! Almost 100% demolished!
Well that looked like fun Doug good way to get your frustration out😊 ❤️🇨🇦
you two are amazing, you really are good at demolition!
12:42 ouch, you hit me in the head!!!!!
Doug, I’m exhausted watching you work!
Good Morning! That kitchen is disgusting needless to say. Doug you do a great job destroying that kitchen.😂😂😂
Coming along! What a job! Thank you for sharing! Much love 😊❤🤗
I am looking forward to seeing what you do with this house.
Therapeutic to watch those cabinets get demolished 😂. Keep up the great work Doug!
I love the piece of wood flying at the camera.
Makes you feel you are in the room!
I have no doubt this mobile home will be beautiful when y’all are finished!😊❤
Was anyone else “helping Doug” pull those cabinets out? I was, lol!
Wow wow wow is all I can say. Good job you guys. It will definitely be a lot better. Can’t wait. Stay safe and God bless
Nice to see that nasty stuff gone. Our house reeked of cigarette smoke. I tried everything. We finally remodeled the smell is gone. 🎉
Probably shouldn't have been eating breakfast whle starting this one up.
Loved the comment, ‘it’s just the way it is’ then kitchen gone ❤😂. garbage is garbage
Great job. 🏴
That's a good sized room now that it's opened up.
Hot nasty work especially in our Fl. humid hot weather.
Hi Doug and Ashley!!, another great video demo adventure!!, be prepared to replace some of the floor in the kitchen, probably a lot of water damage! God bless you both, and don't forget to watch out for those brown recluse spiders !
