Bedroom Wall Studs ROTTED OUT // Mobile Home Renovation

[@kelleygiambro7542]

When it first came on, the stripes on the “feral”. child’s shirt made it look like he was duct taped to the wall. And if you haven’t watched Sam & Angela before, don’t be offended please, they lovingly refer to their boys as “feral children”. 💗💗💗Much love from SC

I was on KZbin and opened my channel to practice some songs before I record them for the channel. Wait, what is this? a Green Acre Homestead video, my plans will have to wait, they come first!

[@watahyahknow]

probably be a good idea to patch those holes up in the outer wall , either glue a little piece of new outer wall againt the inside or stick a few layers of aluminium tape over them for now

[@jaynegossett6638]

spray foam would seal them good

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

Duct tape? 😜

[@terryhenderson424]

Or silicone caulk?

[@Red-ct6wx]

How about we just enjoy what they have decided to do!! Thanks for sharing guys Peace and Blessing’s 👩‍🌾

[@carolinebeck807]

That hole was right where the wood was majorly rotting. I'm sure they'll deal with it but I wish they had mentioned it.

[@ramman5784]

This would be a good time to add more outlets. They always seem to be just out of reach of cords. Two on each wall is so much better than running extension cords.

[@empressche333]

Excellent idea.

[@denisewilson8367]

Yes, new code is every 6 feet here and at least 1 on any wall that is shorter than 6 feet.

🤣😂After a hard day's work, husband and I sitting in back yard, wiggling our sore feet to try to make them stop hurting. He heard what I was watching and asked, "Do you ever stop thinking about work"? I told him yeah, when I'm asleep!🤣 Shared with him how very helpful it is to watch and learn new things! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and time to teach us DIYers easier ways of doing hard jobs! Have an awesome weekend!

In the early 70s as a teenager I actually worked in the original palm harbor manufacturing plant. It was actually called national homes back then and it was the only plant they had. It’s called palm harbor because the plant was located at the corner of US hwy. 19 and curlew road in palm harbor Florida.

[@lillygardens1]

Thank you Stephen!!! That was so kind of you to provide that tool add, to Angela and Sam, with their remod!! 👍👍 Great job you two!!!

And the feral child on the ladder!! Don’t you love it, start a project and it becomes the money pit. I love your perseverance. I’m so excited to see the finished project. Doug and Ashley are rebuilding theirs one piece at a time.

[@stevequesenberry5848]

i was hoping you liked the bit holder and that it helped you in some way. it was a pleasure meeting your family and if you ever need anything just let me know

[@scottfirman]

Our 1986 single wide had extensive water damage from the kitchen sink to the corner of the trailer about 2 feet up the wall that I had to replace the floor, 2x4s and floor and wall plates. I used treated lumber on the floor plate to prevent future issues. I discovered the hole mice were using to acess the kitchen cabinets in the floor in the corner. Our refrigerator was falling through the floor in that corner. It's normal to find rot under a window like that. All our windows need replacing.

[@theresateegarden9147]

You two will have a new home by the time you're done. I know it will still be a 1988 but in reality it will be new!

[@leoncolyer9420]

HI guys from Victoria Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@susangay4866]

That wall really needed to be replaced. New wall looks great. You can tell that kitchen wall needs to be redone to. You all have gotten so much done. Blessings!

[@suesweetpea7]

SAM AND ANGELA, ONCE AGAIN YOU HAVE DONE AN AWESOME JOB ON RESTORING YOUR WALL STUDS ON YOUR MAIN WALL WITHOUT REMOVING THE WINDOW. I LOVE WATCHING YOU TWO WORK TOGETHER RESTORING YOUR MOBILE HOME. GOD BLESS Y'ALL AND HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND.

[@cindyjohnson5242]

I don't know if someone else said it, but please don't forget to fill that little hole in the siding to the bottom right of the window so water and bugs don't get in. Also, I would seal the top and bottom plates against the siding, even though you are eventually residing. That way bugs, lizards and mice can't get in and live in the insulation. You can use minimally expanding foam. The wall next to the kitchen use cross bracing also to support the weight of the cabinets.

[@rubberdc]

I imagine you both have MASSIVE satisfaction that the improvements you are doing now make the house MORE substantially sound .

[@angelacross2216]

Great idea to take care of the laundry room while the washer and dryer are out. Project creep smart.

[@lennygriffin4464]

Hi Sam, Great job as always Your neighbor in Tennessee. Hopefully I'll run into you at the General store again.

[@KoiLakes]

I could watch you guys all day.. especially the behind the scenes bloopers :)

[@alashley5599]

I would recommend attaching a steel plate on the room facing edge of the studs, where the holes were drilled for electrical wire. This discourages someone from placing a screw into the electric wire after the wall is finished.

[@fionajane56]

I always enjoy your renovation and rework videos because you do what suits you and your situation instead of fretting about doing it the 'typical' way!

[@jazcele]

You are truly an inspiration for my husband and me. I put your videos In-N-Out tv on Friday nights now like classes for him🙈😬 we just bought an old mobile home too and we don’t know anything about construction or remodeling but sure we learn a lot with you guys. I love how details oriented you are when give information about simple stuffs like nails or simple materials is very important for people who doesn’t have a background or knowledge on this. I was trying to buy some soaps also but all my favorites are sold out😱😱

[@earlwoody7084]

You guys are great and don't ever apologise for being you, most of us could benefit from being more like you guys.👍🙏🔥💜💪

[@lomgshorts3]

We have to do a bathroom floor - AGAIN! I'm using treated lumber and marine grade plywood for subfloor and joists because I do not ever want to do this again. Using marine grade plywood is unconventional in a home at best, but if you treat it with the correct varnish, it will last forever. I have worked with this type of plywood before, and cared for correctly you never have rot no matter how damp it gets under the home. Water here in the South is forever present, and destructive to exterior grade plywood no matter how you treat it. I live far above the water table, it would take Noah's flood to bring water 550' up to my hill, but moisture is always present year round. I hope this repair will outlast me by 20+ years! You have done well with your remodeling, it is what I will do to my workshop to repair a water damaged wall in the former living room of my 14' by 70' mobile home/workshop. I repair small engines, old tube radios, and other Ham Gear, plus some gunsmithing I do for myself. Many hobbies, but small engine repair pays for the other stuff. Good Luck!

[@trinashepherd7636]

It’s totally interesting to see how to beef up the walls and floors of a trailer with the right wood replacement don’t you wish they built trailer that way to begin with👍 I remember as a kid growing up and living in one due to my Dad being in the service and you moving it to your new property of what our move was from Nebraska to Ohio then buying a new one that was a up grade to a two bedroom 😂. Keep up with the improvements I will be watching 👋

[@Og-Judy]

It's not the matter of using the "right" wood. It's keeping it from water damage to begin with. They use smaller framing to keep it light weight. Unfortunately, putting a stick built house that's "built better" on a mobile home frame would make them too heavy to transport

[@naomicastle3656]

@@Og-Judy They are now built with 2x6 walls. That is code since 1990. They should have put headers throughout over the windows and doors for roof support

[@tudywittlake1072]

Boy you kids have taken on a big project. Im happy to follow along.

[@donaldkennedy5604]

You answered my question on headers, thanks. You did just move it and the windows didn’t break so I guess it’s strong enough.

[@thomasfreeman7770]

Did you do a video about removing the old water heater and replacing it with the tankless unit? If so I missed it. Another idea for a future segment would be a network tour. You do have viewers such as myself that are into tech. Since you are too it would be interesting to see how you meet the challenges of bandwidth in a rural environment and how your LAN is configured to outbuildings over a larger area than you had in NC.

[@sam-and-angela]

That was “before KZbin” but we have to redo it again before we move in. We’re ditching the tankless and will share our experiences and reasons why. :) The network video is a cool idea, we’ll put it on our list when we go to install our permanent setup. For now we use the Verizon Home Internet and it’s in our workshop for localized wifi nearby.

[@justaviewerortwo2924]

What I find amazing is on a I see this a lot in mini homes in the states is that on the outside of the minihome it’s just the aluminum next to the insulation no sheathing or vapour barrier. Mini homes in Canada they have quarter inch chip board or plywood on the walls then the siding with housewrap. With replacing all your walls and flooring and then that metal siding are you not worried about water getting behind the metal siding and getting insulation wet again from screw holes screws popping out etc.

[@Katzbynite]

The work is looking fantastic guys. I think most of us hate floor work but when it is completed it will look awesome.

[@redmapleleaf4617]

There seems to ALWAYS be "project creep" while renovating. Perfect opportunity. You must go to bed at night after something like this with your minds just swirling with what's to do next. I think you're doing a great job and really enjoy watching the progress.

putting new studs beside in the 1x3 wall would allow you to leave the kitchen wall mostly in place. You might need to remove the wiring and do the hole trick you did on this video. getting that done before you get power hooked up would help....
