You are so kind, as a 76 yr old widow I see things going bad on my home that I just can’t repair. It breaks my heart! We loved or home and took excellent care of it. We always worked together each using their talents and skills. Now it’s just me! Seniors across the world will face these problems. Kindness and understanding is so needed. Thank you both.
I felt their kindness as well, being the 74 year old owner of a home built in 1930. I do have a very good gardener and handyman but home upkeep is so expensive.
Ð
Yes, my parents are 86 and 82 and badly need home repairs. If I had the money I'd have these things fixed in a heartbeat but it's not there. They are raising a great grandson and deserves so much more! I thought of doing a GoFundMe but it would embarrass them to death and I'm up in arms as to what to do. Wishing you the best!!
You are so correct. I see this happening to me. Nobody cares anymore. My house needs some repair as well. Breaks my heart. It's a strong old house,survived hurricane Ida. It was built in 1950 out of cypress. I purchased land and had it moved here in 1993. I love old houses. You take care,someone will help you out @tommiejones1072.. There's still some good people left in this world. GOD BLESS YOU STAY SAFE.
@@marymisdom3955 Hi, I’m 78 (female) and just sold my free standing home to buy a villa..My home was built in 1987 so I knew it was going to cost me every year,,,so here I am in the villa. Great when you have a man or woman with the know how and money to maintain a home,,but especially when you get older it becomes very difficult..So proud of these two..I will be watching…👍🏼
We bought a run down double wide mobile home on 12 acres of land out in the country. We gutted the entire inside of the mobile home, floors, walls, windows, appliances, kitchen counters and cabinets, bathtubs, sinks, basically everything went except for the framing, which was in good shape. We also replaced the exterior walls of the home and insulated. It took us 6 months of hard work, but we now have, basically a brand new home that is paid for. We just added on a 4 car garage and a huge barn ( built on site by the Amish ). We paid 40k for the home and land, spent about 35k to remodel and it is now appraised for 170k.
Beautiful land. Don’t feel like you have to tell us what you gave for this property. No one’s business. You all know what you need to invest in your future. It’s going to be beautiful. Happy for you. ❤
Your understanding of the previous inhabitants of the house is full of grace. I appreciate that. It makes is a lot easier to watch the transformation without unnecessary snide comments. Thank you for your continued commitment to take projects from where they are and turn them into safe and clean and interesting homes.
Well u certainly come off of the no spending diet with a bang! 😊
Everyone that is questioning your projects and home build, seems to have totally missed the point! THIS is going to be your business! A way to add income to your family. You did not say if you will flip or rent but I am sure it will be wonderful and beneficial to you. This is a great starter for your renovation business! Congratulations!
I used to dislike mobile homes, until I bought one. I bought mine because of the location. I gutted it and redid it and it’s really cute! The beauty of doing a mobile home is that they are small enough to take on without spending a fortune on materials. I am so looking forward to watching your progress! Totally thrilled for you guys!
We felt the same way about mobile homes, and then we bought that single-wide in Indiana. I ended up loving it!! haha :)
I can tell by your tone you are excited for this project, and for that I’m happy for you. You deserve it. Regarding your decision to invest in something that you can make better with the skills you’ve developed is an excellent one. We’ve all seen what you and Ash can do. My husband and I have taken similar steps during our life, sometimes taking a chance, and by working together, we moved our self forward, financially. It takes guts to do what you’re doing. The icing on the cake for me was how you spoke of the previous owners with such compassion. I love your videos. I will watch with great interest what you do with this property. I’m excited to go for this ride along with you. Thanks for including us!
The way the economy is now-it’s probably the safest place for your money.

True
Agreed.
I'm excited to watch the renovation of the mobile..it will be nicer to work on it and be able to go home and rest in a clean environment

If anyone can turn this place into a beautiful home, it’s Doug & Ashley! The yard looks pretty nice and private. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
I was just thinking how sad it is that someone would live like that, so I really appreciate your comment on respecting the previous owner. I look forward to the renovation.
Hi Doug and family!!
First of all, it’s absolutely not a living souls business
how much y’all paid for your new place. I mean
that’s just nuts for people to even ask!!
I give you a hip hip hooray!! I’m so excited for
you guys! If it makes ya happy, do it, right?
You will have it looking fantastic in no time!!
God Bless sweet friends of mine ❤
I agree🎉 they are amazing! This will be exciting 😊
You are full of surprises 😊 This rehab is right up your street. Once repaired it will make a great rental or air b&b.
Ashley, it appears living in Florida agrees with you! You just look happier and content. You look so pretty today (I understand usually you are wearing work clothes, I do the same.). I noticed your hair cut awhile back and didn't comment but want you to know it is flattering and the color blue you were wearing looked great with your skin tones.
I do not think you are crazy as I have seen your incredible transformations. LOVED your last home and the fantastic kitchen you both created.
I lived in mobile homes for a majority of my life. They can certainly have problems, but potential to make it clean and cute, if you’re willing to put in the work. My husband and I purchased a mobile home for $500, about 20 years ago. We put in blood, sweat and tears and with some help from family and friends, made it into a lovely home for our family. I look forward to seeing what you guys do with this! 😊
If anyone can tackle this project, it is you guys!!! I have known several people over the last few years who have invested in mobile home communities. They started with one and now have numerous properties that they rent or sell. They are making a ton of money!
They do all the work and maintenance themselves. They make a good living by providing decent properties to a socioeconomic class that is often left with poor renting or buying choices. Our communities need people like you!!! I'm so excited to watch this next phase of your project! Evertbody wins here!!!!
That’s an incredible find!!! You will turn it into a gem. The yard is so pretty. This WILL be a fun project for you to share with us. 🤗❤️🎶👏👏👏👍🇨🇦
Hi fellow🇨🇦🙋♀️❤️‼️
@@janebray9392 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️🤗
If the property had to be sold, I can't think of better new owners than you. God bless!
This is going to be a really enjoyable series to watch!!!
This is going to be great!
Thank you for not degrading the previous owner/renters ... With a little love and hard work the next owner will be privileged that you renovate it - due diligence - good luck. I
What a great investment, very nice Doug and Ashley. I can’t wait to see this new project come to life!
for all those sticking your nose up, count your blessings and pull your nose back down.
Amen
🤗👃🎯
You all are so gracious regarding the previous trailer tenant by practicing "there but for the grace of God goes I ". You are compassionate people. Yeah another reno to watch!
Wow. New project. I am so pleased with how well Ashley is looking. She appears happy. Congrats on kicking depression's butt.
Now the comments about needing to save money make even more sense!
All you people that are telling him to tear it down have never been desperate to buy a house, or you'll never own one.
I have no doubt that you will make that trailer so cute! Great to start flipping! I'm so looking forward to seeing it all unfold! Mobile homes are some times the only option for home ownership and that property is so pretty.
Congratulations, Doug and Ashley.😊 This house and property has both your names written all over it! I look forward to the next video. Keep safe, and God bless your beautiful family always ❤️
Your compassion for the previous tenant ❤
You're so kind!
I'm going to add my 2 cents. I've done a lot of renovations, too many on mobile homes too.
1. Get a stacked washer dryer
2. Use the washer space for a better closet
3. Take that small closet with vacuum out and make kids room bigger. Good for desk or dresser space inside the room.
4. Get 3 mini-splits. Avoids ducting issues, is efficient and allows for heat and cooling in specific areas as needed.
5. If you get new kitchen cabinets, maximum drawers, minimum doors in the lower cabinets. No bending and hunting in dark corners for a lost pot lid. I found ikea makes soft close standard and has every weird and odd size you need to maximise space, and about same price as big box stores who have less options.
6. If you need to replace water heater get the instant one. Way more energy efficient, takes up almost no space and about the same price.
7. That weird MBR closet...maybe remove and put in a ikea wall unit. Way more useful space, slimmer profile and easier access.
Went thru the comments & i swear it has me wondering if half of the commenters even watched the video?! He said it's an investment opportunity. They're going to reno the entire thing, inside & out. Theyre not going to live in it.
Lol! We all thought you April Fooled us!!!😂🤣😂🤣
This is going to get interesting!
First on the list: Dumpster 😂
Congratulations on your new endeavor.
Take care
I like the way you respect the people that owned the home before you bought it.
This world needs more people like you: kind, honest, good values like frugality, hard working, resourceful, willing to save & repair rather than dispose of the old. I love your videos!
Whaaaaa? I think the little Caesars box adds a splash of color to the living room 👍🏻
Plz watch for rattlesnakes. They love places like that. I speak from experience.
@@valerierobinson8872 I’ll let them know 👍🏻😳
...."mobile home remodels are more interesting"....that's such a "sweet" way of putting it!😂🤣
Oh good, I have a mobile home that I'm renovating and I really will benefit from this too.
You two blow me away! With all the work you already have on you, you add more. There's no doubt that the mobile home will turn out beautiful. Our 1988 mobile home has plywood floors. That was a plus for us when we had to redo everything. I'm excited to see how everything works out for you. Love to the family!❤
Looking forward to your rehab project on this little mobile home.
Never a dull moment with you two, looking forward to seeing what you can do with this one.
I wish I had the money to buy a bit of land with a mobile home I could fix up. I like it and I see so much potential!
Man I respect people like y’all. You do the best you can with what you have with vision, creativity and hard work. I admire you both.
Oh my gosh! Another project? SWEET!!
I can't find the words to express to ya'll, how extremely proud and happy I am of you both!! You've come a long way, from where ya'll started from and each step you've been taking along the way, has led you to this moment and opportunity in ya'lls lives. It couldn't have happened to better people, than you two and I have a feeling, this new adventure in ya'lls lives, is going to be really exciting and interesting to watch the transformation unfold and ya'lls talents are going to really shine!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Ya'll have a great big family on here, who truly love ya'll and we'll always be here cheering for you. So don't listen to any of the negativity that some may say, because they're the ones, who really need to take a good look in the mirror, before they speak.
❤❤❤ Much Love and Great Big Hugs to you both and to your beautiful children, from your social media Auntie in Kentucky!! ❤❤❤
Rewatching the video with my girls. They call your channel " the Doug and Ashley Show". They love your channel! Thank you so much for the quality video I can show the kids!!!
That's awesome!! I'm glad you all enjoy our channel :)
I’m coming along for the ride, because after losing my home, I find myself living in a 1978 Mobile Home in need of renovations. It’s in a serene setting which is what I really need and I’m feeling lucky to have a roof over my head! I’m excited to be on this journey with you!
If anyone can bring that house back to life it's definitely you both . I can't wait to see the start of the renovation and everything you say is 💯 correct I am happy you have took it on while doing your own home 😊
I've seen you renovate a couple of mobile homes - you definitely can do this!
The land is beautiful. Yep, little by little. It's nice that you can work on it when you don't live in it.
You know what you’re doing. You have the vision, drive and determination. Incidentally, the lot is beautiful!!! You’ve got land!! In FLORIDA!❤
No one can call you lazy, that's for sure! Doug, your forte is demolition! Love to watch you work.
oh this will be so interesting! The mobile home you remodeled in Ohio was so beautiful when you got it finished. I understand the "all over the place"ness of this one - when you live in a remodeling environment, sometimes an "emergency" presents itself. You are so brave. I was hoping to see you and the kids relax on occasion but I guess that's not happening. hugs from here.
May I comment as a native Floridian... since you're new there... the palmetto bushes harbor palmetto bugs and rattlesnakes. Please teach your kiddos what to look out for when they're outside, whether you're there with them or not.
Your work shop is mobile, that will be huge! Congrats and good luck!
So excited for you all.I am looking forward to you getting started. You will be making a silk purse from a sows ear.xx
This is a great starter place!!! Can’t wait to see it develop.
Sounds like a good project. My Dad used to fix up small properties in a lower middle class neighborhood and owner finance sell them. The banks didn’t want to fool with those “little” properties. It was win win for him and whoever bought the places. People don’t tend to trash their own property as much as they do rental properties. He lived in the same neighborhood so he could keep an eye on things. He helped a lot of people.
God’s blessings on this project! Excited for you and your family. I know you like the lush plants, but palmetto bushes are notorious for snakes. Be careful when trimming around them.
I’ve watched you guys do 2 mobile home renovations and both turned out fantastic. I’m excited to see what you do with this. The yard is nice.
This is an awesome idea! I know it would be tempting to focus on the mobile home being finished in the way you would want it to be as your family's home. Few renters would appreciate and be careful with higher-end light fixtures, doors, etc. I do admire your money management skills. Thank you for letting us know there's exciting new content in the future. (I believe having various projects to work on can help avoid burnout. Spending weeks building foundations and filling the blocks would have been mind-numbing for me. With so many choices of projects you can easily refresh/reboot your mind. Now if we could determine a way to reboot sore, aching bones and muscles.) Congratulations on a totally new journey!
Y’all are always surprising us and we Love it! Everything you touch your hands to becomes WAY better than it ever was before! I’m sure I’m not the only rubbing my hands together with glee saying “Let the adventure begin!” 😁
Praying for you as always.
~a grandma from Arkansas 😉❤️
i remember the last mobile home it turned out amazing also this one you wont have to do dishes in the tub Ashley lol great find hugssssss
The first video I saw of yours was the mobile home you renovated in Indiana I think.
I have watched you guys renovate since Kokomo. You have always been careful and considering in the choice of materials and style you chose. I wonder if knowing that you won't ever live in those property will change that in any way.
Some of these comments just amaze me. People saying it's gross and moldy. Who cares that can all be fixed. I think you made a great decision buying that place. I can't wait for the transformation. We need more people like you that will go in and fix up these places that have been run down. Kudos to you guys.
Investing in real estate is always a smart idea. Especially since the two of you are so talented with renovations. Can’t wait to see what you guys do with it. Plus it’s investing in the improvement of the neighborhood and giving some love into a home that can be brought back to life.
Well this is a plot twist! Nice!
Hey Doug and ash good to see your going to flip a property,I’m sure you will have worked out the pros and cons of this ,all I can say is don’t personalise the property look for good bargains on line ,,make it have kerb appeal first impression normally sell a property,, all I can say is GO FOR IT 🥳🥳🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧John UK
I live in a 16×80 1989 single wide. Unfortunately I don't have a handy bone in my body, so I'm looking forward to watching what y'all do. I love my home and the layout. It's paid for, so that's huge for me right now. But it does need an electrical and plumbing over haul. I have window ACs also, so your wall damage is not unfamiliar to me. I'd love to be able to stay here rather than go into debt for something new. Thank you for the inspiration and hope that I could possibly tackle some of my problems diy as well!
Me and my husband bought a 96 trailer in much worse shape than this. It was our only option. In 2 months we got it livable and have been living in it for 2 years now❤we love our home. Keep in mind we had an extremely tight renovation budget of 2,000 dollars
I think you two are the only people that could and would tackle this trailer and make a success of it. Good investment to fix and/or resell OR fix and rent out. Good luck to you.
You guys rocked your two previous mobile home rebuild/renovations. No doubt you will kick you-know-what with this one, too.
I'm fixing up a 1963 mobile home right now. I love it! I think it is great!
Brilliant. I can't wait to see how you salvage this property.
I can't wait to see you fix this little home up! You are a very talented couple.
Flipping homes... right in your alley. You guys ALWAYS make things look beautiful at the end. No doubt what so ever.
Watching you guys grow is an amazing thing thanks for the journey.
I’m very excited to see how this goes! Your previous mobile home work is amazing 😊
Woohoo go for it, it’s going to look amazing when completed. I just love following you guys as it’s always something. INTERESTING ❤ The old dresser in MB that would make a great project as we know you have always done fantastic carpentry skills.❤❤
Most of us subscribers know y'all's work and know how beautiful and better it will be when it's finished. You don't do shady work. You go above and beyond what needs to be done. I would love to live in it as long as I knew you renovated it. I wouldn't have a worry in the world whether it was done right or not. I can't wait to watch the transformation. ❤
I love your mobile home make overs, always unique
You guys will turn this into the cutest house on the block! I found your channel when you were renovating the mobile up north & it came out amazing. This will also make for great content 👏👍💚 Congratulations
If anyone can ‘make a silk purse out if a sows ear’ you guys can. I’m sure it will be beautiful. Can’t wait for the journey.
Challenging, but exciting project. It will no doubt look amazing. 👍🇬🇧🐻
Great job, Doug and Ashley. Congrats!!
Just a reminder from a man who grew up in the same area of florida, be very alert about snakes. Talk to your kids about always looking where they step, not putting their hands in places they can't see like under anything that has been left outside or in a bush, when opening a door to go outside take a microsecond to look ahead before stepping out (there has been snakes at our door a few times) and most importantly discourage them to play with any snakes they encounter.
Good advice almost anywhere you live that isn't a city. Rattlesnakes alone cover most of the USA, My parents taught me to look wherever I walked, particularly tall grass. I have encountered rattlers 4 times in my life I only saw one of them, the rest I heard and walked another way. Florida has several venomous varieties. So it is best just to leave all of the snakes alone if you live in that region.
Heck, sometimes alligators show up on people's doorsteps. They're big enough to see easily though.
I love your enthusiasm for taking on a property that most would think was hopeless. If anyone can turn this older property into something beautiful and enjoyable again it's you two. I look forward to seeing the progress.
Ditto!
I had a feeling this was no April Fool’s joke. All I can say is, you are on the right path. I have no doubt you are going to transform the mobile home into something much better than it ever was before. Brings me back to the single wide you renovated with the school house and the huge garage.
That single-wide was awesome! I loved it :)
You know what’s crazy is these mobile homes will withstand a hurricane like no one’s business too.. my granny lived in one in Florida for over 30 years
I love your rehabs! Can't wait to add this on your channel .
Doug and Ashley, congratulations!
You two amaze me. You are both so talented and I love your hearts by not judging the previous occupants. You are right, we never know their state of being.
Will you all be redoing the outside of the mobile home or washing and painting it? As always I love watching the transformations y’all do😊
Perfectly said and I totally agree!❤
Washing and painting.
I am looking forward to watching Doug work his magic.
Beautiful country home has potential 🫠😊
Honestly I don't see much wrong with it. Id love to own it! Seems like with some paint, carpet and few repairs and a lot of elbow grease it would make someone a good home.
I'm kind of glad y'all are doing this. I live in a 2005 MH & the front wall where the water valve for the hose comes out of the wall leaked, for months before I found out about it. My elderly sister lives in that end of the house & I never go back there. Now the wall has a big bow in it. I need to learn how to fix all the damage. I believe I can learn that here.
You have a gift and your good at what you do. I always have said I wish I could hire you because your good and I love the fact you always think outside the box
I've seen all of your renovations over many years and the results are always amazing! I can't always comment due to where I am when watching. But I always watch! Love you guys and your work!
There's something about watching you fix a mobile home that seems worth watching. Mobiles are small enough for two people to renovate and most adults are couples. You have high standards. You two never just slap on a coat of paint, new flooring, new cabinets, and appliances and call it good enough. Many 'house flippers' do just that. They say they're putting 'lipstick on a pig.' That could be dangerous because if enough mice have gnawed through the electrical wiring in the walls, then the house could be a fire hazard for the new homeowners who thought they were getting a completely renovated mobile home. And that's what they were told.
It's April 2024 and I've been watching since March 2024 for this mobile. Today I decided to go back in time and look at the original tour of the home. I'm glad that you're sensitive about not dissing the prior mobile home dweller. People who live in mobile homes are often called 'trailer trash.' I do think that is deliberate negative propaganda to encourage people to spend way too much money on houses. And now, especially now, when so many Americans are trying to keep their families together. While living in RVs and shed-to-house conversions, all in an effort to avoid being called 'trailer trash.' If someone does buy a mobile home fixer-upper, your series shows what to look for and inspires to fix to a high enough standard that the home is clean, comfortable, and as safe as a house ever gets.
Your videos are important. Although not how-tos, they do inspire people to consider mobile homes in their (sometimes desperate) search for housing. I can tell that that mobile was once a comfortable place. I'm actually impressed with the kitchen. I don't own dogs, but I do know that it is truly the nature of some (many?) to share their lives with dogs - and they do love them and let them into the house because their dog(s) are part of their family.
Can’t wait for you to start. Love all your projects.
