Dude, life hack/law care hack: Get yourself a blue tarp, (8 X 8 or 10 X 10.) When you cut up yard stuff like branches, toss them on the tarp and pull the tarp to your burn pile location. Fewer loads back and forth. Tarp slides easily on grass and road. Love you!
Tarps are cheap and real back-savers. I use them for leaves, branches, trash, you name it! Also, those branches you're getting ready to throw away will make good firestarters next winter, to say nothing of the logs you're getting ready to burn. Stack them under cover somewhere and you'll have all the firewood you need next year.
Tarp for roof, too! Until you can deal with it! Learned to use tarps like a pro in Fla hurricanes! U got this ❤

Ha ha on it
Hi Issac, faucets are easy fixes, extractor fans never seem to work in my opinion, but do some research on better ones, the fans on microwaves do not work unless its vented to the outside, all vans have to vent to outside. I lived in a house with an addition and when it rained heavily the water just poured in also. The windows were the problem and the type of wood used. Check for leaks around the whole building. Yes homeownership is alot, but it's also so worth it if you can the problems solved. University of TH-cam and friends will help you. You will be an old pro before you know it. Hang in there and you can do it. Your a builder Man!!!!
Got ya!! On all of it
I agree, Isaac. You know plumbing from building buses. Do that first. The addition depends. Are you going to use it, or would an open outdoor living space be better? Get rid of mold and solve moisture issues with a tare off.
That's what I was thinking-tear off that back area and have a nice deck or porch with a fireplace or pit for summer cooking and hanging out.
I would just tear off the outside porch! The mold will continue to be a problem as long as water is trapped inside.
Plus the fans would again be vented outside like they're supposed to be.
Trust me when I say we all feel like we're over our heads with home ownership. Especially if it's a older home. Don't give up and remember that hard work is rewarding in the end.
Dang
True statement!
Unfortunately these types of things are pretty normal when it comes to home ownership :( Older homes always have both more character, and more issues. All things can be taken care of though. You're a handy dude.
Wild!
Wall issues in the additional back porch could be gutter and drainage issues. You may have fixed some of that. Keep trees away from house and gutters. Slope foundation away from house if possible. Spray mold with bleach or vinegar and water combo. Paint moldy areas with kilz paint. Our microwave over stove sucks and vents poorly as well. Common? Idk. Bathroom vents are poor in our bathroom as well. They make better ones? Idk. Make sure you put storage container with high sides under all sinks where leaks could happen. Doubles as storage for cleaning supplies. It will protect cabinet if leaks. You didn't bite off more than you can chew. It's common problems.
@@tinybubbles263 I've used hydrogen peroxide on mold. Kills the mold, will not harm the paint and less toxic than bleach. I have a severe allergy to chlorine and also allergic to vinegar. So glad I found something that worked for me.
I think you should tear down the back part because that’s a lot of issues and get it done correctly
Yeah looking into options
Exhaust ducts need to be extended to dump outside of the house. It looks like your addition area needs doors sealed, roof/soffit work and proper insulation to be dried in. It will stay wet in there until it is actually sealed up. Leaky sinks are simple fixes. Get down there with a flashlight and find the leak, don't guess. Run a dehumidifier inside for a week, you'll be amazed at how much moister you remove from the house. Outside you need to get the trees/branches away from the house as you learned in the last storm, they will fall on the house.
Got ya
Dehumidifiers are expensive to run daily. Electric bill will be high
@@tinybubbles263 Who cares. Mold growing in the house is the worst possible situation.
Owning a home is a constant upkeep❤
Seeing that
all homeowners go through this...... get the leaks fixed asap.
Dang
Faucets and vent fans are just part of home ownership . But good news once you replace them and install correctly they will last for years . Now that back area with all the mold problems I would tear off the walls and see if the framing is good and replace the walls .
Thanks for being here truly
In my opinion, you need to start with a new solid roof. My dad was a roofer. That is a big investment, but worth so much in the long run. Once your roof is leak free, start tackling the mold issues. The faucets should be an easy fix. Just take one task at a time. You can do this.
💗💗💗💗💗
100% you've got this. It's just a bigger bus.
First thing is what your doing now. You start looking around and finding out proplems that need fixed. It's all normal fixes, just don't ignore them and check off the list. Don't get discouraged because that's why they sell from being neglected. You can get it done.
Thanks for being here yo
Your bathroom fan vent probably needs cleaned. That’s probably why it’s not taking the moisture out. Your microwave has filters in it. One underneath it and one in the top. The top one should be a charcoal filter. The bottom one you can clean with soap and water and rinse, the top one you have to replace.
Got ya
I agree. Open exhaust fan and vaccuum it out. They get clogged
Fix the leaks spray bleach around mold or the special mold spray. If mold is real bad in that back room tear the room down. 6 mo is not long enough it takes time to correct things on your place. It's a progress. It's takes work hard work. You can do it .
💔💗💗
Don't get overwhelmed, take a deep breath and do one problem at a time.
❤❤❤
Thanks yo!
Well said
Welcome to home owner ship! All homes have issues, even newly built homes. You will learn a lot about care and maintenance of your most valuable asset in the years to come. I would work with your dad's to have them coach you through normal repairs and checks like your plumbing leaks. You will want to check to see if your bathroom fan is vented to outside of you house. You may need to replace the fan. Your stove fan may just be are circulating fan that draws the steam and vapors through a filter and blows them back into the room. You can check to see if it is vented out through the cabinets and out the roof.
You do need a whole new roof on the house. This is one of the most important things you need to take care of to protect the house from water damage and intrusion from the elements. You have many strong healthy friends you can enlist to help with the labor, this will reduce your costs significantly! You just need one person who knows how to roof a house to guide the crew through the process. There may be a significant amount of deferred maintenance to catch up on, but that doesn't mean you bought a lemon, it simply needs some love and attention.
Don't lose heart, dust yourself off and film the work you do to share on your channel. Sometimes a lot at little things can feel overwhelming, just tackle them one at a time and soon you will be amazed with what you have accomplished!
Ha ha I am seeing that!
I noticed that If the back add is built into the mountain chances are it's probably not been waterproofed corrected or if at all and all the water that comes down the mountain when it rains seeps through into the walls and floor. I agree with the others that it's probably best to get rid of the add on.
Yeah def gotta figure it all out
You need dehumidifiers as well.
Fosho
Looking good every time you clean up an area. One step at a time. Being a home owner is work but once you get it established, it’s most often just maintaining it.
One step at a time!
Once you get everything under control you can take care of stuff as it come 😘👍🏻but it will get better as you go and when you own the house you will be so proud of yourself and all you have to do is keep it up and it will make you feel great about yourself and your family 😘👍🏻💕🙏🏻🙏🏻
Need to get there first!
Welcome to home ownership 😉, it’s non ending.
Geeeez
My best advice as a 50 yr old who only bought her first house 4 years ago. Slow and steady wins the face!! please don't give up you are so amazing at fixing stuff. Both of you! But shit does it get overwhelming. I love that you're a team and you have your youth!!
They have a bright future. They are doers!
Thanks yo
Yes, remember Rome wasn't built in a day!
Owning a home is like having a car. Maintenance for the life of the home. Did you guys think about tearing that addition off? That may be more cost effective 🤔
My goodness
Welcome to home ownership Turner fam! Yes it’s always something! The sink faucet may be getting water behind it and it’s dripping under the sink. My second guess would be the sprayer hose. Frequently leak. I’m so sad Mother Nature hit you hard only six months in but now you know that the trees close to your home need to go! Moisture is a big issue of course causing mold. Have your roof buddies check that addition roof. Vents should go to the outside of course. A dehumidifier will help temporarily .Don’t give up! Things you fix now will pay off in the long run. A beautiful life on the Mountain. Hugs to you all! Ember Wild cuteness overload as usual!❤😊
Thanks yo
Sorry buddy, these mostly seem like normal homeowner issues. Houses do not maintain themselves. Just like busses dont. Houses are normally bigger so issues seem to happen on larger scales! Take a deep breath and try to be thankful!
Dang ok
You got this my friend. One day, one project at a time. I believe in you!
One day at a time :)
the extension has to go man, those vents need to route to the outside somehow as soon as possible. you could jerry rig clothes dryer conduit, (you know the extendable tubing) to get these things to vent outside temorarily.
Yeah def figuring the moves here
No worries. Fix important first and move to next.
Fosho
Hey Issac. Sorry you’re dealing with all this. I also own a home I know the feeling. 1. Changing the faucet out should fix those leaks. 2. Bath fans are pretty affordable and much more quiet and efficient now. (Just make sure to oversize it for your bath sq footage for it to work well) 3. You could look into a hood fan for the kitchen vent issue. 4. Your lean to roof looks like your main problem is just you need new shingles and/or it wasn’t seal properly. A really affordable option (you will need to verify if your roof is not too much of a pitch for this option) is this stuff from Home Depot $115 for 100sq feet. “GAF
Liberty 3 ft. x 34 ft. (100 sq. ft.) SBS Self-Adhering Cap Sheet Roll for Low Slope Roofing”. You can pick different colors too but might have to order it. Best advice is to apply in cold weather or early morning, because once you peel the paper off, it is EXTREMELY sticky in hot weather. Definitely a 2 person job. But very DIY. Like I said just verify if your roof slope will allow for it. Growing pains or home ownership, Cheers bro! 🤘🏼
Thanks for all these great tips friends. As the weather gets better I will look into it!
You have alot of work a head of you. I hope you got a good deal on the place. You are able to make improvement while designing things the way you want them. You have been doing some remodeling already. If you don't need an enclosed porch on the back open up the area leaving the roof, seeing you already had it fixed. Get creative. You can screen part of it with a partial wall to keep the little ones in. Fans will not work properly if they aren't clean or properly ventilated. You already figured most everything out that you need to do. It is just learning how to do it, having the money & making the time to do it. Good luck. I hope you can get help.
Hi Isaac, if I were you, I'd change all your exhaust vents to vent outside instead of your porch. Google how to change your faucets or hire a plumber, it's a fairly easy fix. You can also put a dehumidifier in the porch to get rid of any moisture. Don't get discouraged, every house has things that need fixing.❤
On it!
Hey Issac. Next time you need to pick up branches or sticks please just sit next to the pile and throw onto a tarp. Then drag it to pile. You can make small loads and be caring for your back. I had to do this with tree limbs and leaves. Before doing that I was bagging and raking 35-40 bags every year of leaves and that was not including branches and sticks. I learned to do it with a tarp and then I mulched with tractor so I could not let yard grass die from it being heavy and I didnt have to pay for bags or hauling.
Great tip!
The wagon is good for small jobs, tarps for bigger ones!
Hey Issac, you always have a few things to do when you buy a home. Some are not so bad, like the faucets and fans . But the addition, may be a tear down problem. Don't give up hope, one thing at a time.
Yeah def looking into options
Isaac doing house repairs is like walking bro, 1 step in front of the other, or 1 project and then another. Good job on the yard clean up. Great to see you all in a video. Is Jaylena going live tonight ? Stay safe bro
Got ya my dude
The leaks under the sinks could be from the freeze. Not a expensive fix. The faucet might just need new rubber washers. The leaks in the add on might be from the metal roof. Could just need some caulking on seams and nails. Welcome to home ownership.
Ahhh
Time to make Limons in Limonaid. You too can do it.
One hun deee zeeeee
With your guys talents you have got this!! One step at a time.❤
Thanks yo
Issac. The sinks makes sure it’s sealed on top around the faucet. When washing and water gets behind fixture it will leak down. Check the bathroom vent take cover off and clean it, if u could get to the attic make sure the vent hose it not crushed. The microwave fan above the stove, because it does not come all the way out even with the stove, the steam does not go directly in the vent to spit the steam out. I put a small fan on the counter beside it and when I broil water or whatever I put it on. Just some thoughts. Could give u more since I use to do houses (flip houses for my boss ). If u need help we could exchange emails I will help. Not hard to do just maintenance. Stay positive
Ok
I really like the plan of Tuesday at home Sundays on the road
On it!
🕊💌 When you are a homeowner, there is always something to spend your money on, problems to get sorted. Bet your bottom dollar!! And if the builder, company, responsible for this particular mobile home was not running a tight ship so to speak, you just might be finding yourselves the ones to have to put it right. Sadly. In my more than seven decades on this earth and having many homes, I have had to be vigilant. But, so hoping that getting this moisture situation sorted goes smoothly and costs not endless for you both 🤞🍀❤ ❤ ❤
Geeez
Mold is like mice. You may see a mouse it's the 10 you don't see, that should worry you. Same with mold. Mold spores are very dangerous for you and especially a growing child.
Oh dang

💗💗💗
Leaking sinks are usually minor, easy fixes if repaired promptly. Fan in bathroom is an easy fix. Microwaves over the stove usually doesn’t vent as well as a hood vent over the stove. Back porch, who knows. Depends how they built it. Could be more problems than it’s worth. Have a contractor check it. Did the put flashing where it is connected to the house? Do they have gutters on the outside and if they do, were they installed properly? It all could be minor but it needs to be checked. Definitely the cardboard on the walls needs to be taken down and install insulation and proper walls.
Got ya I’ll look into it
I remember when you did the big bus and had a list of missions you can do that with home stuff too. I do a daily walk around in my basement, after finding the washer drain hose had come out and had to clean up. So the top three things is what I focus on daily. Focus on what is most important and do some other things like when glue is drying etc. You can do this! Do no have the fire too close to buildings and diff. counties have diff. rules for burning.
Yeah on it
Way to break in the new cart 👍 man y'all needed that. All houses need something even when they're brand new. You'll figure it out. If you can build buses n vans like you did, you're a pro, you can fix that house up 💯 👍
Thanks yo figuring it out!
bless you and Jaylena,feel like you’ve had more than your fair share of problems to deal with,but you still keep trying,feel so sorry for young couples today it’s so much harder today than when I was your age to get ahead,hope you find some useful help❤❤❤❤❤
Def
Also so you don't get overwhelmed, fix the faucets first, then seal everything ( windows, etc). Hurricane fans work great if you open the doors to get moisture out of room. Wait on the backroom as it likely needs to be torn down.
Faucets are easily replaced, chimneys need sealing every few years, you may need a new roof on addition, then a product to remove mold and seal surface before repainting. Vents need to be redone to outside area. Bath fans are usually vented out the roof
Fosho
Issac, hang in there. Start with the faucetts which is pretty easy. Then you need to get the bathroom vent outside the house not into the back area. You should be able to vent it above the ceiling into a pipe that could run along the joists in the addition. If you can get above the fan and out, you could mount a second fan in the wall towards the top and vent it out. You have to get the extra moisture out of the house.
Check for drainage around the slope behind the house. You need to keep the water moving away from the house even if it is just graded away. Once you have eliminated the extra moisture and drainage, you need to get rid of the mold in the back room. Hopefully, it is not in the walls. If it is, you will have to address that.
Keep plugging away. You are playing catchup for years of neglect. It will get better but it is a lot of work.
Thanks yo on it
You are getting some good advice. We found with our bathroom fan that it didnt need to be replaced but simply cleaned! It also took care of a rattle noise that was coming from it. And that was over 20 years ago! No problem since. I grew up on the coast so I know all about mold! Ugh. A reminder to insulate outside walls, especially the pipes. Good luck!
Ok good news!
Hi Isaac!!! I had a couple of similar issues at my last house. I changed out the entire faucet and it was good to go! You can do that super easily. (Clean the mold appropriately of course.) For the vent fans, manufactured homes are the worst. Do yourself a favor and change the bathroom fan.. You can get a similar size but more powerful at Ace or any hardware store!! Easy install!!! ❤❤❤ OH AND ALSO - you can change the bathroom vent fan to exit to the roof rather than the side to the addition.
Ahh thanks for the tip!
Sorry for your troubles, you'll get it figured out. Cute baby, she's gotten so big! Wishing good luck guys👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
💗💗💗
Hi Issac, I think I just tear
And just build a brand new porch in the back that way you know it’s done, right
Yeah thinking the same
Isaac, tackle all the problems one problem at a time, starting with the most urgent problem first, then the next problem and so on. Before you know it you will have them all tackled and dealt with. Owning property is a lot of work but it is so rewarding. You’re new at this, give yourself grace. Really, a large portion of the problems you mentioned you know how to deal with. In my opinion if y’all are not using the covered moldy back added on back porch, I say tear it down. That really would solve so much of your mold and ventilation issues. Y’all don’t give up, you are both hard workers there’s nothing you mentioned y’all can’t handle. The only thing you may need help with is that closed in back porch. Mold is very bad so that needs to be dealt with fairly quickly. If y’all decide you want to keep it, call someone who knows how to deal with mold removal, and find someone that can help you with the leaks you mentioned back there. Not the ones under the sink you know how to fix those. Y’all can do this. In the long run y’all will be so glad you stuck it out and didn’t give in to defeat. Neither one of you are quitters so hunker down and get her done. Y’all have a really good place to raise Ember. It’s going to be okay. You just gotta get the right mind set and remember why y’all chose that property in the first place. We’re all cheering y’all on.😊
Thanks for watching yo. Def trying to figure it all out
You two look great..I have already started getting ready for hurricane season..It’s cheaper when you don’t wait until the last minute..Much love
Got ya
Prayers going your way that you get everything fixed love you all hang in there
Thanks yo
Sorry to hear this my talented friend.... But just be happy what you three have ok... A month ago we were living on our 35 foot houseboat, then back to back we got two major rain storms, packing 60+ winds, our boat sunk and State Farm turned us away, saying it was a natural disaster... No pay out. So here us three are, living in our Kia van..😢 Hope you get your place up to speed...
Oh snap sorry to hear that! Thanks for bringing here yo
in the future youll find out that this is all very simple fixes. Yes this is pretty normal with houses, especially after moving into a new one. The previous owners sometimes neglect things and dont tell you things. Deal with the Mold as fast as possible that is your most important issue atm imo. Your channel has convinced me and my lady that we want to give the skoolie life a try for at least a year or two due to us wanting to leave our current state because weve grown not to like it anymore. We appreciate all the hard work you put into your channel and maybe we will start one when we start traveling but we are definetly moving to the northwest. (We are currently in Oklahoma and hate it.) Also as far as the limbs go.. I wouldve just drug the whole branch up to the fire pile and put them in and cut anything protruding out of the diameter of the fire off and thrown it back in
But hard work never hurts :) you and your family are awesome, keep up the hard work!
Takes one day and step at a time, it'll get done, and will always be a new learning experience and adventure as you go. I even try to remind myself this daily within my still new property ownership in the workings yet. So much to do and so much time to do what can be done in the time needed to do so. Sometimes i just wish we could in a snap of a finger would be done...lol 😂, but reality, it sure doest. Like that wagon you have gotten, I need one of those better that a wheeel barrel for this property even thought its not on any mountain here, and flat, but feels like one at times especially when this property here needs to be cleared and cleaned out to the dirt and old roots of these thorny trees and bushes, cacti, etcso to eventually do fresh and new landscaping. Anyway, sending lots and lots of love hugs and prayers daily to you, Jaylena and Ember 🤗❤️🙏
Thanks yo
Unfortunately water is not your friend! We have lived in four houses and everyone of them had issues of some sort with water. The best thing you can do is tarp the roof and put fans inside to dry out the moisture. All your vents need to vent outside not into another room. Dehumidifiers work wonders. Don’t keep letting the water just sit there. Even under your sinks, put a bucket to catch the water until you can fix it. Good luck!
Dang!
You got this Isaac. You're young strong and talented. I know it gets overwhelming but sometimes just stepping back and assessing your next move is the smart thing to do. Well done.
Welcome to being a home owner we built our home ourselves and still have issues, it seems it never ends!!!
lol feeeling it
Great job Isaac, that seemed like some rough work. As for house disasters, I just SMH, there is always something to fix here and there but, IT"S YOUR HOME and there is nothing like being a homeowner. I see it as content for us viewers who enjoy watching other people work. God bless and stay motivated. Hi Ember and Jaylena♥
Thanks for being here
Enjoying the journey
Fosho
YAY! baby got a new pair of boots,the first minute of this video make me smile, Ember looks so pretty in pink! Isaac, every other person who has ever owned a house is right there with you, they have all been there at one time or another, finding problem after problem that needs to be addressed to the fact that it becomes overwhelming, The only thing to do is come up with a plan of attack and pick off the problems one by one, once you start you'll realize it's not as bad as you think it is once you start whittling down the list, it's a learning curve hundreds of thousands of people have had to deal with, finding the time to deal with the problems while trying to make a living doing other things can certainly add some stress to your life, just go aout it methodically and you will persevere in the end, treat it the same as building a bus on a 30 day deadline and you will succeed...FULL SEND!
💗💗💗
INTERESTING. Good time for getting things on sale. Good Luck Isaac. You got this. Take one step at a time, combine it with lots of positive thoughts. Be inspired by looking at some of the nicer homes online. Pretty soon you will be on a roll and you will have you and your baby and Jaylena lining up projects you can do to polish off a room and check it off on your list of "Honey-Dews"
💗💗
Hey Issac you are right the inside littler stuff are easy fixes.. The addition on the other hand appears to have a big black mold problem that was just painted over. You probably know that black mold can cause numerous health problems. Some can be. serious. I think you are wise to have the addition torn down, but remember its a bio hazard so do your research on how to do it safely. Take care.
My goodness yeah def looking into it
Yep been i
n my house now 20 years. Different little things need to be fixed and changed to keep em going. Like all the plumbing pipes, hoses, shut off valves, inside toliet parts. I just had yesterday my yearly checkup with the company I deal with and kitchen and two bathrooms all need new plastic drain pipes and new shut off valve,and washer shut off valves. All that $3,000 dollars. It's a pain, but it's being a home owner. Daily work, no time to go off and play cause it's always there having to be done. For safety reasons, you should change the water hoses bout every 5 to 10 years. Just a peace knowing they are new. Good luck at what you gotta do.
Dang!
Hey those are small fixes - tackle one item at a time so not as overwhelming- back porch needs some ducting tubes to vent outside your back porch - strip down old drywall - think composite style panelling like trusscore vinyl siding panels easy to put up for diy homeowner for walls in outer shed/ porch area -get insulation in there and prep it better for getting warmth from woodstove again venting can help bring heat inside your main living spaces
You have a perfect little place for yous to call home - it’s very manageable- keep her going and scheduling your projects throughout the year will seem less daunting - don’t give up you’re doing great 🎉❤😊
Fosho
I used a tarp with a rope in the front that I could tie on back of riding lawn mower to do leaves, branches, etc. Saves a lot of back work
If it were me, I’d hire a professional and get a bid to fix all the fans and leaks then see if the addition can be vented and fireplace sealed. It might be worth the money to bite the bullet.
Got ya
I quickly learned as a homesteader, you are a carpenter, roofer, plummer, electrician, farmer and sometimes a TH-cam Creator...lol! Sink leaks are very common and look into more ventilation in back room. Probably burn those stoves regularly. Take Care Neighbors! ✌🏻
Yooo thanks for the tips homie!
Good job!
Thank you!
In the uk we get the same problems with ventilation. I would start by extending those vents going into your addition by putting the vents along the roof So they vent to the outside. Good luck. 🥰Just do one job at a time. Hope you get it sorted.
Got ya on it
One thing I think I noticed was the lack of rain gutters along your porch roof, that would direct the water away from your foundation. The other thing I would do on the side porch is purchase a dehumidifier with a long drain hose to collect water and drain it automatically out of the porch area. Then I would spray the black mold with bleach or a chemical spray. We had fantastic results using Wet & Forget which we purchased from Costco. It worked wonders and it's been about 5 years, no mold and no algae.
Good luck!
They are there just not good
Oh my gosh,yes when you have an older home plus the weather you have,In my opinion only I would take down the back addition and rebuild.
There is so much water damage and of course your black mold concerns. Also you can redesign it the way you both would like it. You got this !
Fosho
Home ownership is constant work. you are both handy and can fix a lot on your own. I would pull-down that back add on and start over.
❤ from Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks yo
Looking good! Could a trailer hooked to your ATV help? That helped us. Home maintenance is a lot of work.
Maybe!
I agree, rip out the addition. It'll make a great outdoor space!
💗💗💗
Advice to both of you!
In your area due to the weather changes yes, water leaks are common because of how cold it gets in your case, I recommend that you shut down all water pipes and replace them all as soon as possible the next state like yours is Maine as temperatures goes.
As for the time being, again, I would have kept the big bus up live-in until I had everything replaced with new stuff now I would live full-time in the camper and shut everything down until I can get to everything and see if you can tap into your water supply into the campers, water supplies and live in it full time, the house care is completely done again this is why I would keep the big bus is the shower availability.
This is why selling the big school bus is a disaster in this situation.
Unless you build another bus for the rest of the stuff that you need and still live in the camper for housing while the rest of the house is shut down for complete repairs are completely completed.
Again welcome to homeownership in the area where you live at this point, in time build-out the van with what you want to have to live and do that as fast as both of you can do, and never sell them because they are your ability to live in without getting a hotel room you are going to have to think about showering unless the van has one.
Again shut the house down during the summer and fix everything as long you have the van and the camper to live in until the whole thing is finished and still have back living situation until you have a backup place to live in when home issues like this welcome to homeownership.
I am just giving both of you advice you can take it or leave it alone!
Sincerely!
R.S.V.
Thanks for watching yeah. Realizing should have played my card diff
My cousin who just retired has been fixing & repairing stuff at my home for 6 months. I also had a leak under my kitchen sink he had to tear out the bottom of the cabinet to rebuild it adding a new pipe & faucet. What a mess it was so rotted it also smelled damp & had spots of mold it was a big job to tackle. As others have pointed out, the exhaust has to go outside through the roof. Also, not in the attic as it can cause similar problems. Though the original venting was done correctly, adding the room made it worse. I plan to keep a window open for fresh air you might also until it's all fixed. Being a homeowner you have to maintain it too, but looks like the previous owner was aware & kept it to himself. Good luck, you will be fine, between you & Jaylena you've got it handled. Ember is growing up so fast!❤
Dang! On it
Isaac, If you are going to be planting your own garden this spring/summer, it's time you started ordering your seeds. Burpee has a good catalog for seeds that really do well in a garden/garden bed. Think about where you can get a truck load of mulch. It will be worth every penny you put into it, but you must pick a nice sunny place for your garden bed. Sending prayers & love from Ky. ❤❤❤

Owning property is constant repairs..But it’s worth it..Property is a Winner… vehicles depreciate..
I don't think any of that side room with the fireplaces are legal. I'd rip it all out. A covered patio there would be great. Maybe turn that area into just a screened in porch to keep the cats in plus give ventilation.
Yeah looking into it
I definitely would make that side room a screened in porch. The sink leaks are easy and the bathroom fan is probably old and just needs to be replaced. The range fans might just need cleaned. The outside is just regular maintenance. Yes its work but even new construction has it's problems. Slow and steady and in a few years you will have a home to be proud of.

Did you have a home inspection before you got your mortgage? The mold and leaking water issues should’ve been addressed. Before you signed off on the loan. Go back and reread your loan docs.
My husband and I purchased, remodeled and flipped homes for years. You have to decide how long you plan to hold the property. If you want out of the home as soon as possible, deal with the more serious issues so it will pass further home inspections. ie: mold and water issues affecting the structure and roof issues.
We did!
10:28 it looks here as though part of the problem with the lean to is the roof is too level.
If rain water comes down off the main roof, does it go into a proper gutter, or down onto the almost flat roof?
Is there moss growing up there? Any kind of vegetation would stop proper drainage. Maybe build it again with a better slope?
15:08 you can see a good roof angle here, on the building behind you
Great tips looking into it
I also commented on the first video of the 🏠
I like these videos better than the ones you don't talk in💯👏👏👏👏👏 every home has maintenance and problems. Put a dehumidifier in that back room.
Ha ha ha thanks for watching
Check and see if they have home owner ship helps info. with your county or extension agents from the collages & google that too.

It's a wonderful house and yes, that is common problems even after living in a house for years. Dehumidifiers are your friend.... maybe just open up the walls in the ill built porch/ storage area, keep and redo the roof.
Learning a lot!
Yes owning a house after a previous owner will have issues. Handling anything to do with water is important to fix. You can handle it. Blessings & courage. ❤❤❤
Honey in ref to the brush. Some municipalities have shredders, where you can bring brush and they will shred it for you then you can bring it home for jaylenas plants. Idk it's just a thought.
Got ya
Hey Isaac, I would take a look at the outside in the back of of your addition. is there dirt and debris right up to your wall? You may have to avert water from that area by putting in a french drain. Also, dirt gets so compacted; maybe adding some rock to an area may help with drainage and also may be aesthetically pleasing. We lived in a mobile home for 20 years. had it torn to the studs and reframed put in real sheetrock and cabinets, real tile floors and real oak flooring. It was gorgeous. Even with all that new stuff, we still had normal issues such as yours. Don't be dismayed. handle important stuff like leaks first and move onto the mold. See if you can get the microwave vent vented through the roof. Have a professional do it. Oh, before I foret, we had the same issue in our bathroom with the vent. We used kills paint(kills mold while it covers) and look into a new fan. you can retro fit regular stuff into a mobile home it just may take a bit more time. Not everything has to be bought at a mobile home supply store. Good luck to you and the wife.
Ah great tips
You can put a cheap plastic short tub from Dollar Tree under the sinks, till the leaks are all sealed. Rome wasn’t built in a day, your home looks so much better since you moved in! All homes require maintenance(unless new), and the more you problem solve, the better is should get. Take a day each week to rest and have fun!!!
Hey Isaac! I own a manufactured home too, been here for 9 years. Things go wrong just like a stick built home but fortunately you are really good at building and repairs. I know it’s stressful…been there. I’ve had 2 pipes burst under my house at different times. We have know idea how to fix sh*t but things do work itself out. I agree with those that have said to tear down the problematic addition. Not worth it if you don’t need the space. TH-cam taught me a thing or two also. I may try to email you with crap I’ve dealt with and how to fix it!
Thanks yo on it
I've mentioned this before, but so much water has been running down under the home foundations since it's been there. Those foundations and pipes all need to be inspected. Will it cost to get professional advice? Yes, but it's what they do. Qualifications go a long way.
Got ya
Yes, agree, and then you might be able to get a plan on what gets done first and to fit the budget, and, it might put your mind at rest🦋💐🌟
I understand what you are going through, I really do. Keep in mind that the storm system was an extreme type event. Your homes utilities were tested to the max! You have a really cool property despite some of these issues you are having.
My suggestion is to run that wood stove. It will dry out everything fast if you keep it going. It doesn't have to be a roaring fire, just a small constant one. I would keep a window or 2 cracked but close the rest to keep the outside humidity out. We heated our house for years with only a wood stove. It dried out everything so we kept a water pot on it to help put the humidity back in! I figured this suggestion is the easiest and cheapest, using what you already have. Hope it helps! Take care guys! Homeownership usually gets better once the kinks are worked out in the beginning.
Got ya
Yes, tear that section completely down and then look at the issue closer of the back of house or side, whichever. The fan over the stove and under the microwave may need cleaning. I have one just like that and it gets dirty easy. The big problem also with the fan is its not venting probably. So hence tearing the back off.
Def looking into options
Hi, I’m actually a mobile home owner as well, it’ll be a year in May, 1st I’ll address the leaks under the sink, the gray pipes must be replaced with red or blue pipes because the gray pipes are cheaper and quick to leak. Now as far as the mold, well, you must first spray the mold you can’t get to right away for health reasons, just get you some bleach and some spray bottles and spray the mold, it’ll clear it up. I actually only had mold on the walls around my water heater, I sprayed, actually saturated the 2 walls, left it, went back the next day the mold was gone. Check you vents on ur roof, ur going to need a dehumidifier, perhaps a few of them for the different parts of the house, you must avoid the build up of humidity; you may have holes in the roof and along side your house or poor spouts. Now back to the leaks, I’ve had to replace the plumbing in the wall of my shower and added a shutoff valve, under the tub, the work is massive, I hope I was somewhat helpful.
Thank you so much for the tips!
Do a walkthrough and work on the worst projects first..I live in Florida we always prune our trees Before hurricane season..
Omg love Ambers tutus
Ha ha that’s her thing

I would check the washers in your faucets and tighten the connections on the sprayer in your kitchen sink. Tarp the Roof on the addition till you can seal it or replace it, and replace all the drywall. The vents for the bathroom and microwave need to be run up through the roof of the addition.
Ahh good tips
