HGTV needs to give these to a show. We could call it “Fixer to fabulous: Mobile Mansion edition”, Ps don’t ever cut out the bloopers!

[@mimiohnine]

Never cut the bloopers!!

Mobile Mansion Edition! Hilarious!!

[@AleeshaWeesha]

I have to tell you guys how much I've enjoyed watching you these past two years. You're down-to-earth, industrious, skilled (yes, you are Sam), great parents, and you make me laugh. I even put on your playlists to keep me company while I do housework.

[@tsnowden2252]

I know that's a proud poppa to see your boy swing a hammer. I always get a lil tear seeing a boy and his dad working together.

[@dezfan]

What some may call “Selling out”, I call being practical and realistic. I’d choose the latter.. Great progress on the floor. 👍🏼

[@diyfferent]

Blocking is a good idea, but if you are using the standard tongue and groove subfloor panels you really don't need it at the joints. A really neat tool for cutting along the walls is called a toe kick saw. It's kind of a specialty tool, but great for flush cutting along walls and such.

[@kimberlyminnis3202]

It is so good to see Angela right by her husband side doing her thing 👍🏽

[@lechatbotte.]

How terrific more progress. I love seeing the feral children helping and asking to help. Not to mention is just a hoot to watch you and Angela. I remember when she wasn’t as brave with power tools, but she was willing. You’ve come a long way from that kitchen Reno.

[@lbarney56]

I have heard"Stomp a mudhole in ya!" many times as a child😀. Looking good and keep on track👏👏. God Bless Y'all 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏.

[@darrylmcleman6456]

I am in my 7th mobile home.I did repairs and improvements on each one while living in the home ,working paycheque to paycheque .Great feeling of accomplishment and you know you have a much better unit!

[@natashacrystal6490]

The best part is debt free.

[@RumMonkeyable]

Your DIY expertise is showing through with this part of the bedroom renovation! The power bank equipment is NOT a sell-out. It's practical, and something you do believe in! Love your new project!!!! 💪👏❤👍😎

[@susanc8170]

“Stomping a mudhole” isn’t just a southern thing. My dad grew up in Kansas and he used to say it. I really enjoy your channel. I like that you show real life, the good and the not so good.

[@asigridpreiser4970]

Sam I never heard your grandmother's expression. Love that your boys are helping too!

[@natashacrystal6490]

I haven’t even watched this video yet, but based on thumbnail, I wanted to make a comment. I found your channel as we are remodeling a mobile home. Through your channel, we found out about the oscillating tool. We are cutting on the edges of the wall and yes, I had a contractor to give me a quote. He was only going to use a regular saw along the edges. Thanks for sharing your techniques and knowledge with us. Now, I have to see every video. Keep up the great work and I can’t wait to see how your new homestead continues to grow. You have made great progress in what seems to be a short period of time.

[@deborahlehman8617]

You will learn so much from them go back and look at all the other Sam’s a good teacher so is Angela. Natasha I love your name💖

[@KJ-jq9pq]

You may like to look at Diyfferent channel's past mobile home remodel videos if you haven't seen them. Very good and detailed. Just a thought.

[@mitchelcline9759]

There's also something called a toe kick saw, i bought one for 60 at harbor freight. It only cuts down to 3/4 inch, but it'll run right along the wall. Leaves a tiny ledge that cleans up beautiful with your oscillating tool.

[@JennyMacBallard]

I'm pleased to say I've definitely learnt stuff watching all your renovations lol. As soon as you started ripping up the floor I knew blocking was next and why. Does that make me blockologist now? . Love watching you guys.

[@valeriebostick1913]

Angela is really something with power tools

[@LuJustLu]

"Stomp a mud hole in you", I can't tell you how many times I've heard that! Lol, that was one of my aunt's favorite sayings. You two amaze me at the amount of "know how" you have.

[@lindaspradlin1436]

I can’t believe how neat you guys make the work look.

[@lindacutler9214]

Yes

[@pamelaremme38]

I am so impressed with your BOYS!!!! They are really showing an interest in the build. That is a sign that you guys are leading by example. Shout out to the BOYS!

[@raynall3593]

Stomping a mudhole in you is a phrase I have not heard in years. When I was young, it was popular. 50s and 60s. Grandma said it a lot when we were doing something we knew we should not be doing.

[@crinkle2649]

Who ever said you were selling out by being sponsored is totally wrong. Especially since you got to keep that, it's an amazing item that's is helpful. I think you need to be sponsored by a siding company now so you can get the outside of your trailer done for free.

[@bigtom1948]

Stomp a mudhole was one of my mom's threats but she rarely resorted to stuff like that.

[@scclif]

Heard it but not from a parent just as a saying.

[@lisadaoued-ouhssain7052]

Lol I am sure familiar with that phrase "I'll stomp a mudhole thru you" You guys are inspiring

[@kscheuerman5378]

Angela, you are amazing. Great job!! I am an older lady & I am always impressed with you, and of course with Sam, too!!

[@arwoods1237]

I’ve never heard that before. You two work so well together. Thank you for sharing.

[@grandmachickenscluckingoodsoap]

I'm living in a single wide I bought a few years ago. The dogs that lived here were allowed to pee inside, and the subfloor was saturated. No one else would buy it because they ran out! I got to work after I bought it and was pleasantly surprised to find there was actual plywood floors! Where the floors weren't peed on they were in good shape. There is a slight difference with the height of the subfloor, but I put patch and skim on those areas and feathered it out then put underlayment down. It was a bear to pull up the old ruined plywood because of all the staples

[@megostop9650]

The staples are a nightmare. I can attest to that!!!

[@Button56]

I've not only heard of the expression "I'm gonna stomp a mudhole in you!" but, when I was a teenager, my dad told me that regularly! He never actually did it because I knew he was liable to if I didn't straighten up! He was actually a gentle man but he expected his kids to listen. :)

[@patriciabeyer7824]

Big builders inside. Small builders outside. Yay! 🙏🙏☝️☝️👍❤️

[@BethGrantDeRoos]

Just a simple hint. When using fiberglass insulation, wear a face mask and gloves since the fibers are 'glass; and you do not want to breathe the glass fibers in. As for the battery backup that is 100% wise and in NO way a sell out when accepting/using it. In fact most people would be foolish not to accept and use one. Also appreciate seeing children ask if they can help!!

[@sandraridley6445]

Ya'll are such hard workers. Love watching you.

[@619DioFan]

" stomp a mudhole in ya and walk it dry " was how I always heard it. looking good there.

[@donnap587]

Love the bloopers, but the videos are not long enough. We need to see you three times a week.

[@darrylmcleman6456]

Good stuff! The oscillating multi-tool blades are usually toasted after cutting two or three nails or screws ! CHEERS from Westcoast Canada

[@dorothymitton7602]

You guys sure work well together, love how you enjoy your home and how you make it homey. You show such love of each other. Xxoo

Never heard "stomp a mud hole" here in my part of SE Wisconsin. Must be a southern thing 😛🤣 Love watching you two. Makes me laugh.😁👍🏻❤

[@CoastlineMx]

I can completely feel your pain I have remodeled our 1985 oakwood home 72 x 14 1/2 wide single wide. So glad that it's over with and done!!!

[@Starrmiller]

No never! Lol sorry Sam! Ang will you guys be replacing that stuff in the walls? oh insulation? Omg lol you guys are so cute!! Hey Ang give Sam a bar of your wonderful soap lol.

[@virginialewis9854]

I used to visit my grandfather in Kentucky growing up and he used "I'll stomp a mudhole in it" all the time. Angela - I sincerely agree with supporting women because we need to stick together but on this one, I'll have to support Sam. You guys are being so smart with going ahead and doing the reno of your bedroom before you move back into it. Thank you for sharing your lives! Psst: "Don't tell anyone...I got my badge back next to my name! I'm proud of that!" LOL! 😁😁

Love the metal toed protective boots for that kind of work Angela 🤣🤣🤣

[@reneebrown9391]

Angela is a demo demoness! Love watching you two work together - a real team effort!

[@lesliesnowdon8490]

I like it when you post after a couple of days work, we get a visit and the amount you get done is irrelevant. If you think you might do something in the laundry area, maybe put some blocking up for the cupboards and maybe do the extra outlets before you close in the closet wall. That way you're ready for that project and it's way easier.

[@cindyjohnson5242]

Great idea!

[@private15]

What Angela said was said with love. I would say ‘used his superior strength!”

[@toolmantim613]

Yes! "Stomp a mud hole in you" Have heard it all my life here in Eastern NC 😆

[@abcxyz1797]

You two have me laughing so hard, at the end, my dog thinks, I nuts! Love watching you DIY.

[@aphughesr]

My husband and I had never heard of stomping a mud hole in anything. That is funny. You both are doing a great job renovating your bedroom. We are excited to see how your place looks once you get everything back together and done. I am excited to see the stonework foundation under your mobile home also. That is going to be so pretty! I hope you will really be able to do that.

When I was young…so long ago…..the phrase I’ll stomp a mud hole in your butt then stomp it dry… I haven’t heard anyone use it in years.

Haven’t heard that phrase. But I also haven’t heard “knock the paint off the school bus” either. Cracked up over that one!

[@tailgategardeners7752]

I definitely grew up with the “stomp a mud hole “ phrase! Lol!!!

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

I grew up in the Dr Spock age and Grandpa always told us "If you don't behave, I'm gonna' warp your personalities". I told/tell my daughter, my grandkids and now my great grandkids "It's not to your advantage to make your mother/grandmother angry". Always works for me.

Yes, I have heard that phrase many times, I guess it depends which neighborhood you were raised in... Lol I love how Angela just jumps in and starts construction. I have lived several mobile homes and they do slap them together so fast that many things are missed, and ye they sell a load of them for mega bucks !!

Yep like whole areas of insulation missing in one spot and shoved in another. Or lose wires dumped between studs.

You guys crack me up, great job. Xoxo

We’ve learned so much from you guys and your renovation on your home. We have a double wide from 1995 that’s been getting a little revamping here and there and you guys have inspired us to do more!! Currently thinking about tearing out the gas/propane fire place that is no longer in use and can’t be used with wood from my understanding! It’d give the living room a lot more room for when people are visiting! Anyways thanks again for these videos we appreciate them a lot!! I do miss the gardening videos but completely understand why you aren’t doing them but can’t wait till you start again on your new place!!

[@sam-and-angela]

We are so happy to hear we’ve helped! We ARE gardening and working on building it out. We’re filming all the work and will release a bigger video of building the garden when it’s done. :) For now we’re saving footage.

I have definately heard and used the term stomping a mudhole into something. And I love your videos. We just bought a mobile home that needs alot of work and are moving it to our land soon. It had been heavily smoked in and has to be nearly completely gutted. I have been slowly remodeling the house we live in now for several years and I'm excited for the new challenge

[@Katzbynite]

Angela!! LOL , you are really telling Sam when they hook ups come you are moving in! Sam just moved out of the way and let her work for she was not messing around!. You are correct I have seen so many flooring without the blocking and many homes I have been in which the floor boards and the joints are clapping as you walk.
