5 Year Trailer to Home Transformation!!!

[@maryannkom299]

If you don’t own the home, you need to definitely get some breaks on the rent, you are improving this persons property by a lot. So you ask for rent allowances

[@beverlyherring6595]

You are making everything cleaner and more sturdy for sure. I hope your landlord appreciates your efforts.

[@darklord9667]

When you replace your curtains in your brother's room put a support bracket in the center of the curtain rod. That will make your rod straight. :)

[@DinoSarma]

And agreed with the million people who said to give the guest room a floor length curtain. That’ll make the room look way taller.

[@elizabethreed3358]

Once you finish with all the remodeling, your home will last a long time, and will be perfect for you. Good job!

[@goodandgreen]

Aw man lucky little bro. wish you were my brother! You’ve done great with the place, hope your channel blows up!

[@thekeyboardzone-kas]

Wow. You look and sound like you're barely old enough to vote. How could you be so talented and ambitious and cheery and inspirational? I'm thinking when you were a baby, instead of "Mama" and "Dada," your first words were, "Where's my vision board?" LOL. I just stumbled upon your channel, and I'm enjoying your vids so much. Your before/after transformations are amazing, and you're a lot of fun to listen to. I've never had a vision of living in a trailer, but you have sparked some creative ideas in this 70-year-old head of mine, giving new meaning to the old adage, "Never say never." Thanks for sharing your talent with us. You rock! -Karen 😊

[@hopesdreamsducttape41]

Thank you so much! That's the nicest thing I've heard in a while, really made my day 😁😋

[@GameCreatorOfGod]

I am 49 and you have motivated me to do the same, I'm planing.

[@margiestevens2384]

You have gained skills that you can use in whatever house you move to and a video resume of skills for jobs if you want them. Really, you have accomplished a great deal in five years, in addition to making your home a more comfortable place to live.😂

[@talos2373]

I believe you are very well on your way to becoming an interior designer or decorator just by your so down to earth presentations you really make them so much interesting that I want to be there to help. And foremost you are not an idiot you are a genius for touching on mobile homes or trailors to make them look more like homes.

[@NoYesJess]

SO awesome, it's looking great!! And did you say you're renting?! Because WOW, your landlord is really making out here, damn lol. I hope he at least takes a decent chunk off your rent each month for all the work you've done and continue to do!! I can't even imagine the projects your future holds once this is complete!!!!

[@777ebailey]

So impressed with a handsome and smart young man.

[@Tkelsic]

I liked the brown curtains

[@Tocco609]

As a young dude looking at mobiles as a viable option to buy a home, these are so nice to see. Keep posting house stuff when you do house stuff! Subscribed

[@FTGentertainment]

Idk man me personally I refuse to do any major work to a rental. I’ve told myself I’d only do a full remodel if I owned the property. But I do respect your work and effort.

[@VivianaCastaneda-d7d]

I subscribed because of this vid.

[@leah__gail]

I’m digging those shower walls! 💯❤️

[@RopeyLoadsOnYou]

You are so freaking talented! I am really digging the masculine look of the rooms as well. Your master bedroom is what I want my room to look like one day!

[@PellyjellyMom]

You could actually extend that curtain over to cover that seam. It would make the window look larger as well.

[@ninjasa1]

You're absolutely right. The thing that keeps people from doing DIY projects is "fear" because they have never done it before. Hey, you never know until you try ... AND... KZbin has so many resources to learn from . Excellent job on your projects. I admire your spirit, and you should know that. Keep up the great work, and thanks for your videos. Very inspiring :)

[@talos2373]

It's January 7th 2024 and it's nice seeing you again.

[@javalily]

Barn doors on the bathroom would look cool.

[@jatdesign4495]

I am down to see the saloon doors and living room floor. Love what you’ve done so far and want more content :)

[@DangerMouseG]

You should look into renting to own. The time and effort you've put into this place is quite admirable.

[@logan4005]

You rent the trailer or just pay lot rent? That would blow my mind putting so much money and time into something I’m renting. You do a phenomenal job, by the way.

[@TonyMWilliamsII]

a Gamer and a builder...I'm in love. But more importantly I love these remodels.

[@briancormier8189]

Would love to see the saloon door project.

[@chrispy0812]

I absolutely love what you’ve done to the place! I just.. don’t get how you could do this for the landlord. Are you renting to own or strictly renting? What happens if they sell the home and evict you? I just wouldn’t feel good spending that kind of money if it’s not entirely mine.

[@mostlyghostey]

The look of everything is very eclectic and while it's not really my style, I'm so glad you have taken the time to upgrade everything! It looks so much better than it started out as. I'm glad you feel like you have a home rather than a trailer! 😊

[@tamaraliscia3408]

I don't think bedroom curtains need to be floor length because a bedroom isn't a "formal" space. However, the bedroom curtain rod needs a center support. If you have curtains in the living room, floor length looks nice. Or, you can use some type of blinds and omit curtains.

[@adriennegibsonchristopher2293]

Use the same flooring from the kitchen in the living room space so it will flow better

[@huntingdemons9039]

Man all your comments love you. You're so genuine. You're really doing some awesome work, bet your friend loves the free help lol

[@Fenrir-cf5rt]

Another AWESOME job!!!! Where are you now though?

[@sylviaramos8908]

Yes need to make a video of the saloon swinging doors

[@Jennybeeeeee]

So proud of you. Maybe they will let you buy the property 🤔 👍😊

[@kldegeyter]

Everything you have done so far is pretty Awesome! I too live in a mobile home as well. Thanks for the inspiration! I will make sure to watch all of your remodeling vids Just buy it and stop renting it!

[@carlenewilliams5388]

You have done an amazing job on your M.H. ! When you replace the drapery go from top of selling to touching the floor will make the room look bigger. I hope you’re landlord is helping you buy the supplies for the remodel after all it’s increasing his property value .

[@eliseoreynoso3586]

That would be a cool project to do

[@EpicgamingChannel108]

Great video. As a possible future plan, I'd like to save up to buy an old house in the future and completely remodel it when I have the right funds for it.

[@lizsanabria5541]

You did a terrific job you made a trailer into a home well done looks awesome 🤩 😊

[@cameronashton6987]

Season's Greetings. I love the rustic traditional looking fireplace. Do you plan on decorating for Christmas? I'd love to see the place decked out for the holidays...especially around that fireplace. :-)

[@ragetotheend]

I like your energy. You are a good inspiration my man.

[@michellep3814]

You’re a great brother and a wonderful renovator!

[@rickyoung7586]

Love all you’ve done to your home-u sure are cute!

[@Drawnny]

Love your trailer house. good job! 💙

[@jm7804]

No matter what you can afford for housing there's no excuse for not having it clean and presentable. I had some dump apartments in college, but I always had them fixed up with bargain and thrift store finds. It made do just fine until I was able to afford nicer things. In a lot of ways I was happier back then because the lifestyle was much simpler.

[@leonardoalfonso7080]

You got some very interesting art by the chimney. Would love to hear the backstory behind them ^_^

[@hopesdreamsducttape41]

Lol, just random doodles I've done from time to time, with a few pieces that my little siblings did 😋

[@MagnoliaEmporium]

I want a blanket fort!! Overall I think you have done a tremendous job on updating the space... hopefully there is a good work & product deal in exchange for rent.... Thoughts for you..... (coming from a designer) try taking those labels off the curtain rod in the guest bathroom... on the curtains in the guest room... instead of replacing... try adding a coordinating piece of fabric to the bottom of the existing curtains and some trim... and your good. Also, add a middle support anchor to the middle of the rod... side note.... hair cut is looking awesome... xoxo Randolph

[@marthabothwell9884]

actually the strips can be enhanced by painting a contrasting color continuing to the ceiling molding. It's a lot of work (use painter tape) but it really adds interest!! I did one on a feature wall in the LR and just painted the rest the color of my walls. In the kids room I painted the walls light yellow & did the slats pale blue... looks great!!

[@derekdavis6508]

I was looking at a van to live in I'm solo, but with prices going crazy I may just find a nice overpass or bridge, or be like those mole people and live underground, bad thing is no hidey holes like that here.

[@scruffyguy5695]

Dude your place looks awesome love your MH videos gives us some great ideals keep em coming👍👍👍

[@curiousgee5513]

Hey I LOVE this work. You have inspired me to go for it and try to make some changes to my place. You have great taste and talent. I’m definitely a fan. Please keep making these videos. I wish I could get your in person advice for my place. 😊

[@jordanfx]

Your place looks great…it’s been fun watching you turn it into your own vision. Also you’re adorable. 😜

[@karenirby6810]

Great job!

[@luanahaigood278]

You did a great job. The house is beautiful

[@sophiecat1920]

[@joycemiraglia280]

The outside also matters. Some of my mobile home neighbors must feel that way as you say doesn't matter and it looks really trashy !! I care.

[@wanderotter4667]

Love it, just discovered your channel, such great vids.

[@questpropertiesllc4952]

AWESOME JOB!!!!

[@hopesdreamsducttape41]

Thank you! 😁

[@SuperMarquis1994]

How were you able to renovate when you rent?

[@jakovm1070]

Please film more projects. Why did you stop filming? 😞

[@hopesdreamsducttape41]

I decided I want to do youtube full time, so I am in the process of changing my entire career up in order to make more time for youtube 😁

[@mchelvantx]

So proud of you! really good job!

[@KarazyKidAtHeart]

Omg! The dreaded ice maker line caused my jump start to redo my home as well! I capped it off and it got broken, and was a geiser so I cut /capped it off and so far so good! But yes it was first slooowly leaking I thought first it was the HVAC causing it only to find out I was wrong and so it ruined the floating floor around the fridge but the 5 cases of extra flooring to replace around the fridge got stolen from someone I let stay with me before so I had to redo livingroom kitchen /dining room and both halls. But that started redoing it all, I took everything out of front bathroom Inc carpeting... I'm the bathroom! Yuck! I thought they stopped that in the 80's but my home is a 2000 model and well it had carpeting in both bathrooms now only front bedroom has carpet only because it looks brand new still lol

[@jimalancook3157]

Love your energy dude!

[@showinmissouri]

I really enjoyed this video. Looking forward to the saloon doors and what you'll do to your brother's room 😀

[@frankly3498]

Oh looks very nice. Funny, was chatting with my pastor today about practicality and beauty and it's nice when you strike a good balance of both and I think you nailed it so far. And I agree that wall with the closet was a very strange choice for the builders. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos!

[@thorned10]

I would like to see better before and after pictures of how you took out that closet? I have the same situation in the master bedroom. Trying to figure out how I’m going to fix my closet that we will still need to utilize it. Also, We got sliding barn doors for the master bathroom separating the bedroom

[@hollyfin5659]

Thankful for you 🎉 awesome job!! Keep going and the good work!!! 👏

[@lmmartin959]

I'm new to your channel and I'm really enjoying your remodeling work.

[@slc6900]

Do you have detailed videos about redoing the kitchen sink, countertop and cabinet? Same with for bathrooms:shower/tubs? I need to do those.

[@arixies]

I dont understand how mobile home stuff work but would there be a tempature issue like during winter?

Omg but how handsome is he :) I almost forgot about the purpose of the video lol

[@beckiblack4651]

I'm here for any other renovations you plan to do. I love what you've don'e so far. One of my favorite things are the black squares on the walls of your bedroom. Could you please explain what those are and where you get them? Thanks. :)

[@hopesdreamsducttape41]

Thank you! And those are foam squares for noise reduction, given that's where I record voice-overs. You can find them easily on Amazon 🙂

Hi I love your videos and it’s real inspired me. I was wondering what the overall Square footage of the place was.

I'm sorry, I have no clue 😅

You're only missing a few things and that is some green put some plants in there fake or real u did an AWESOME 👍😎 JOB

[@tammyyoung-schweiger3350]

Do you have that kind of crappy popcorn ceiling or is it a different texture? I'm totally down with everything you've been doing. I'm trying to make changes in mine...ugh but the money though!

[@rosegarden335]

What state are you in?

[@Rae_777]

You don’t own this building you’re investing thousands of dollars of your time (and hundreds of actual dollars) into???? 😭😭😭😭😭 I have no words. You’re so sweet & deserved better parents to teach you what renting is, I’m so sorry. I’m glad the process is making you happy, and it looks lovely.

[@jamesscherping2461]

Why would you assume he is unaware of what renting is or that his parents did not teach him the difference? Did he mention that, this may be his choice. Since he has a YT channel it certainly falls under business expenses.

[@Rae_777]

@@jamesscherping2461 Because…. there are about 60 good reasons never to do this to a property you don’t own (and instead BUY a property), and we count on others in our lives to save us from permanent financial ruin. For example, the risk that stands out the most is that the owners of the property would have every right to sue him for thousands in damages and ruin his credit; it doesn’t matter if WE consider it an “improvement,” making changes to the domicile is usually against the terms of a lease, and when a tenet breaches the written contract, it’s easy to sue, especially when he’s documenting PROOF publicly on KZbin. Making changes to a property you own is an investment in your future that will yield financial benefits. Making changes to a property you don’t own is more than simply a waste of resources; if the property owners choose to exercise their contractual rights, you could be obligated for all the costs associated with changing it back, time & eviction costs, and other financial damages associated with breach of contract.

[@0hmymia]

Hi there! Love the way you did this! I do have a question. I live in a mobile home and the wallpaper doesn’t come off easy. I was wondering how you switched it out or did you just paint over it?

[@hopesdreamsducttape41]

I thankfully didn't have any wallpaper to deal with, I'm sorry 😅

[@0hmymia]

@@hopesdreamsducttape41 Ah ok no worries! Thank you anyways 😊

[@dadzwag]

Just subscribed, you have lots of excellent information. Have you kept track of how much you have spent on renovations?

[@hopesdreamsducttape41]

Thank you! It's been rough lately, and comments like that are definitely a pick-me-up 🙂 I do have a rough estimate, but it's nothing I'm very worried about. My landlord is a good friend who let's me rent at a loss so that I rent at a 3rd of the price. In return, I take care of the place and remodel it to return the favor and improve the quality of the place I'm living in. It's a pretty sweet deal 😁

[@DollzUnfiltered]

What was the total cost of all your remodeling?

[@hopesdreamsducttape41]

Oh geez, lol, quite a bit 😅 I'd say just under 10k, but I certainly wasn't trying to go with the cheapest stuff, so I'm sure it could be done for less

[@DollzUnfiltered]

Wow that’s amazing and ur place looks beautiful I’m definitely inspired !

Thank you!!! 😁

If you do not own the home, I hope they were giving you a good deal on the rent since you’re fixing the place up.

[@lisamaczko9133]

Boy don't you put saloon doors on your master bathroom. No one wants to hear someone's bathroom business. Barn door sliders or a regular door.

[@robragland]

Casual viewer question: is there a layout diagram we can see how the room are arranged and relative sizes?

[@hopesdreamsducttape41]

Unfortunately no 😅 although it is a fairly basic design, with the kitchen, dining room, and living room being one massive open room in the middle, and the master bedroom and guest bedrooms on opposite ends of the house.

[@robragland]

@@hopesdreamsducttape41 Ah that's nice that the bedrooms are on opposite sides! Where's the guest bathroom located in there?

[@hopesdreamsducttape41]

Directly beside the guest bedroom

Labdlord let u do all that and your renting and or you gonna buy maybe then i get it but if you decide to move or he kicks you out isnt all that a waste to you good for him

Secondary question: Why are you putting so much work into this trailer if you are renting it?
