We were at Lowe's looking for a new bathroom faucet. We were talking to the guy and he told us about a discontinued one they had only one left. It was originally about $80. They had it marked to $20. He marked it to $4.99 for us. It helps to be nice to the employees.

[@cherylm5234]

Such a smart way of storing those boards. Who'd have thought of doing that? Much better than having stuff on the floor that gets in the way and constantly needs to be moved and restacked. Good one Sam.

[@mimiso2522]

My hubby did that in his woodshop.

[@marsha4138]

So glad you are staying out of debt! It takes patience and creativity sometimes. God bless you.

[@sandyweatherwax4877]

Sam! That's pure genius! (Storing those boards on top of the windows!) Proves you're not 'just another pretty face!' Love you guy's channel!

You guys are such a beautiful couple. Love and admire that you both are so involved with your children’s homeschool program. Enjoy the time watching you!

[@celticfiddle7605]

You two are such hard workers and work so well together! You are going to have such a nice home when all is done!

[@victoriaahlbrecht9715]

U both need a good pat on the back. It hard raising children, and teaching . The boys get so much more when they are helping u with small projects. They will look back someday and think how lucky they are to have someone took the little time to show how things are done . We know our sons are very thankful for the time they have helped when they were young. And all they can do themselves now. Awesome job to u both

[@pipewig74]

With the walls opened up-would be space saving to do a pocket door and that way you would create even more floor space.

[@kathyusa-iowa5137]

Or a barn door in the hallway!

[@annnicholls7585]

It is better to leave a properly fitted door to the bathroom to contain smells and moisture and sounds....

[@rickkube4608]

Hey guys! If your still doing the plumbing, please stick a rag into the opening, helps keep the fumes out... as for the venting under the sink is on top of your pipe... legal in mobile homes...just be sure you add one ,or reuse the old one on your new sink! Helps for draining ! If you have questions don't be afraid to ask!

[@plf1of6]

When you two had taken the toilet out and were explaining the aftermath aroma's and Angela said she thought the smell was stuck in her nose, I immediately thought that if it were me I would have ran as fast as I could over to the Soap Shack and soaked up as much of the soap smells as I could. Lol.

[@sam-and-angela]

🤣 yes!

[@SenseOfWonder2]

When I was a kid, I always watched the plumber, because I like to know how things work. The plumber we had always put a balled up rag or paper towels into the hole until he was ready to put the toilet back. The way you have the pipe for the sink and toilet cut, maybe you could put a piece of aluminum foil or plastic wrap with a rubber band around the pipes to keep out the sewer gas until your ready to put things back together. Excellent with the TARDIS box :)

Sam , Angela , the last part of this video that you spoke about your boys , I found it the most enjoyable to see how proud you are of them both and how you care very much about their being taught at home . I really enjoyed this

[@angelacross2216]

We did exactly the same thing with homeschooling. Homeschoolers have the luxury of tailoring the resources, which are legion, to their children’s needs at all times. In public school, with tens of thousands of dollars invested in any particular text there is no way to adapt to the children if a poor choice has been made. The teachers just have to make the best of it.

[@karlagrymes649]

I love how your minds work ☺️. Talk about thinking outside the box👍🏾

[@allthenuts9179]

I was going to ask about the popcorn ceiling as well. I scraped all of mine off with the exception of the bathrooms and kitchen (which I haven't remodeled yet) and I'm so glad I did. I cussed the whole time I was painting the remaining popcorn ceilings.

[@darleneclark6098]

Can I ask you what technique you used and any tips on doing it. Trying to decide if I want to tackle ours before we move in. Because once we do, I know I'll never do it LoL

[@allthenuts9179]

@@darleneclark6098 sure. It is really simple. I just got one of the hand held sprayers from Lowes (I think it holds like half a gallon). Spray a small area, maybe 2 by 3 feet, then immediately scrape it off with a putty knife. I used about a 4 inch wide one. You can make gouges in the ceiling if you don't have the angle right, but thats an easy fix if you do. It is messy, so be prepared for that. Put some plastic down to cover the floor, that way you can fold it up and throw it away when your finished.

I love all your videos, but, especially the renovation ones. You are on my list now. I said I would watch every video Tom Pemberton farmlife has (again), all rewatched liked and commented on. I'm about 450 videos in so not much to go but, I will re watch all of your videos ads and all. Least I can do. Good luck with the reno.

[@jamesconway4821]

Just a suggestion you may want to think about is to leave your aluminum siding on your home but go over it with new siding this will help work as an insulation barrier and sound barrier and should prove to be less work making the wall actually stronger basically using the ribs of the aluminum like studs. I've seen this done and other mobile homes and I've even seen where people have brought their walls out to the edge line of the roof if you have an overhang it can add like 2 feet to a bathroom or any space of the house.

[@Zombie-adventures]

Make sure you have the underside of the tub resting on something so it isn't flexing, which will make cracks.

Taking a break from Spring cleaning (today is window wall day in the bathroom....Yipee) and you guys uploaded. Having a good time watching you work (he, he, he, he) The project is getting so big but, it will be solid, clean, and safe for years to come. So worth it!! I've been cruzing Kahn Academy myself lately. It's been 55 years since I was in high school and I've got two kids schooling here all day. The math questions were driving me crazy. A little brush-up and Grandma is a math hero :) Now, back to windows and those mini-blinds soaking in the tub........ :/

[@sharonromer6606]

If you ever go to sell your home...you will never get the money payback that you have put into it BUT the buyers will get one great home. You guys are role models for family values and home schooling parents. God bless you❣

[@sam-and-angela]

Oh, we know. :) None of this is in hopes of making money or resale value later on. As Sam likes to say "We gotta do something with our time!" :) We enjoy the work and leaving things better than when we found them. We've lived in several places where we improved them only to leave it all behind and start over again. This one probably will be the same way. :)

[@TheJohnnyBoyShow]

HEY SAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, READ THIS I redid our bathroom in our 1978 mobile home and we cut that pipe that goes out the roof off underneath the subfloor and installed a vent cap, its just a cap that has a rubber flap inside to let air in for drains (sink, toilet, shower) but closes off to keep any foul smells out of the house, you can install them anywhere that has an existing stack, SO even if you are not going to move that wall you can still do away with that pipe! hope this helps, keep up the good work man ,thanks

[@sam-and-angela]

We read all the comments! :) I would consider that, had we not already installed the vent boot and pipes through our newly installed metal roof. :) At this point it's easier to just leave it as-is and keep the system intact rather than capping the vent or doing something differently. Spoiler: the plumbing has already been redone -- KZbin lags behind reality by a few days. Thanks all the same though!!

[@TheJohnnyBoyShow]

I don't blame you that metal roof is NICE!

[@rebeccasanders8795]

😅You guy's are awesome. Love you and your handsome sons. God bless.

[@Silvermoonhomestead]

I've been building raised beds with saplings/young trees. You cut some 1 ft pieces off the thicker ends of the saplings and pound those in the ground about 2 ft apart. I make my beds 3 ft wide but you can make yours however you want. Then you take the thinner part of the saplings and weave them along the 2ft spaced pounded stakes. Just look up a wattle fence and you'll get the general idea. The 1ft stakes makes about a 8-10 inch deep bed. If you want a deeper bed, just make your stakes longer.

[@jd30850]

When we did our bathrooms we put these metal flange rings on all the toilets. We are larger people and a teenage boy that is rough on everything. Stainless steel ring $5.50 at Lowes Oatey Item #253208 Model #427784 screws right on top of the pvc flange. They have them built in the Pvc too.

[@dper1112]

Light tubes are a cool idea, but we usually see them in dry climates. Putting holes in roofs in areas with decent rainfall is just one of those long-term risks that's probably best avoided. Even if you flash and protect the penetration properly, it can still fail over time, and that often leads to either expensive repairs or major damages.

Looking good and lots of work but we've done that on our two bathrooms and much much worth it. First thing we do when we pull the toilet off is take an old LARGE t-shirt and roll it up and push a bit half of it down that sewer hole. NO ODOR.......then when ready to replace the toilet pull it out and set the toilet. It's too big to actually go down the pipe so no prob. No need to inhale those odors and they are not healthy! As we all know......LOL Great job and I can't wait to see how you finish it up........going to be nice as you two do good work! Awesome......can't wait to see it! Best of luck.

I'm cracking up about the popcorn ceilings because people bring that up in our home too. They don't bother me at all, even in the living room where the previous owner started scraping off the living room popcorn in the middle of the room, got tired and stopped. It's all painted, and we just think it's quite creative. There are always so many other projects to do before we might even think of doing the ceilings. Love your renovations!

Sam and Angela I did think about the wall space when I suggested you add a second door one going into the boys room one going in the hallway. I knew it would become kids bathroom but I thought a maybe just maybe it would fit and make it just more convenient for the boys to go to bathroom you know kind a like having an en suite in both bedrooms so anyway it was a good thought. of course you are right about the space, growing boys need all the space.❤️

I lived in a mobile home and used steel wool in the "mouse" holes and it rusted away. I changed to the copper or aluminum scouring pads and the mice didn't eat through that and it didn't rust away. You might consider that. Those mice can get through a dime sized hole. I caught one coming through the hole in the floor next to the water heater where the overflow pipe went. My mobile didn't have any load bearing walls inside the house. The roof supports went from side to side of the house. The outside walls were the supporting walls. I love what you are doing. I miss redoing my mobile.

[@marlaschaefer9245]

I think you guys are doing a great job as usual. If you change out another toilet I've seen them put it in a large trashbag to carry it out and put a coffeecan over the hole. Also you may want to keep your aluminum siding, and just paint it. I have a 1977 and I used a roller in one spot to see if I liked the color and it went on good. Probably would work to spray it. If I can ever get some help with it. Haha.

[@skeeter1]

Many mobile homes are built with floors, walls, roof/ceiling first, with interior walls being added last. Therefore many mobile homes have no load bearing walls.

I don't know the indivudual instructions for the tub you bought but they all say "self supporting" on styrofoam or plastic legs these days. You will do yourselves a huge favor if you mix and put down a 40 lb. bag of mortar. It will make a solid base and there will be no way it can become a mouse condo. In the old days they used to say to get in the bath tub during a storm. That's why, they were solid. Everybody's got a tip or opinion I guess and you can't use them all. Great job so far.

[@standingforjesus1214]

It amazes me how Elijah at 8 does and that he wants to. And Issac at 5 is exactly how my 2 boys were. That young there is always better things to do . Like building forts or making roads in the dirt to push your trucks on. To me a 5 year old is still close to being a toddler. And to be truthful my boys had to do things like keeping their room clean. Even helping with supper dishes. Our youngest put them up after his brother and sister dried them. But if they didn't have to play was much more to their liking. Children grow up so fast anyway. Enjoy them while you can. This time is so precious. And Elijah is having fun working with Mom and Dad. And Issac is enjoying the activities for his age. Your boys are both precious. Glad you are homeschooling your boys. Too much ungodliness being taught in schools. The Bible says to train up a child in the way he should go. Can't wait to see how you put the space back together . I know it will be what works for your family and that's what counts. But I also just know there's going to be some neat ideas along the way. Just like with the soap shack. Stay close to the Lord. And please don't take that vaccine. It is the mark of the beast. Don't take my word for it. Research it for yourselves. It is a DNA vaccine.
