Building A New Layout in our Salvaged Mobile Home Rebuild

[@fromthebayou]

Loving the progress!

[@Alberto-VO5]

Doug, you are the man. We love your work. Tell Eevee to give you big hugs you are awesome 👋

[@lauracebula3222]

That nook might make a nice laundry area, with the plumbing being right there.

[@MrsMac3099]

I was thinking that or a small powder room. After having 2 bathrooms I am biased. I never want to go back to 1 lol.

[@joycejones2979]

Belle’s love of bugs has rubbed off onto Maverick. I love it! He’s getting so big and intelligent! I love it when you find something. He’s so interested in it. And when he comments, he sounds like a wise old man. The wall frames were easy to install. You’re getting closer to walls which makes me happy and eager for the next faze. Have a restful weekend.💕

[@julieofidaho]

Doug, you always amaze me with your teaching ability. When you first mentioned you really liked a tape measure, I’m thinking why? Tell me more. Then you went home and sure enough, you told us more and more and more. Wow! I had no idea there were so many different types of tape measures. So cool. Thanks again for being you.

[@lechatbotte.]

Like the magic of a speed square it will make calculations for you, that you didn’t know it could do. Measure twice cut once

[@janiceliles9877]

Does that Crescent brand Lufkin glow in the dark? since it seems like those yellow numbers would…

[@yavrum22]

💯 agree

[@patriciaammann7906]

I really enjoy your videos. ❤ Evee and Doug you tŵo are a amazing couple ❤

[@diyfferent]

Thank you :)

[@donnadilbeck7021]

You 2 are certainly hard workers. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

[@KarenAnthony-cv6qj]

Bathroom walls w double wall looking like great warm idea.its coming along fast . ceiling looking great in the trailer.

[@sybilresh1905]

Eevee, you are so cool, working construction with pigtails, a skirt and sunglasses. You rock!

[@fijid8976]

Hi Doug and Eevee. Great job with the framing! And how interesting is your tape measure knowledge. I never knew there were so many different ones. You are a wealth of information and super talented! Thank you for sharing and educating us😊. As always keep safe and God bless your beautiful family always ❤️ 😊 🤲 💐 ❤

[@debbiesmith851]

Thank you Doug for calling it a “TAPE MEASURE” & NOT a “measuring tape”. Thank you for showing us all your tape measures & the different features each one has. Can never have enough 😉

[@deefrye5390]

A whole bathroom framed it what an accomplishment. Things are moving fast❤

[@JadeDragon407]

Doug & Eevee don't mess around >>;=)

[@Hollybank5]

Doug - it’s really beginning to look more like a home than a cavern !!! Yay 😀 Eevee- loving the sunglasses and the pigtails ❤. 😎

[@pama.6410]

Those walls went up fast! Note to self: keep Doug away from tape measures and car sale websites. LOL!!!

[@Mari-B]

The house that Doug and Eevee built!!👏👏🙂 That's an awesome tape measure collection, Doug, and that was a beautiful dragon fly, Maverick!👋🏼

[@galady8632]

Nice tape collection. The black tape was a first for me. I knew a carpenter that had over 100 old manual hand planers. He kept them in a footlocker. They had all been used and well-loved. Measuring tapes and manual hand planers are 'tools of the trade'. Your mobile home is taking shape. I never once doubted or questioned your design but I admit this is the exciting part of the process. Actually seeing walls is proof you have created a sturdy and safe shell that is transitioning into what will be a well-designed and comfortable home. Well done Eevee and Doug!

[@fredmaxwell9619]

Nice tape measure collection. Thanks for showing and sharing it will help me pick a new one out.

[@christinemiller7238]

I love that Milwaukee has the fractions. But then I love Milwaukee.

[@Jo.H.]

Hi Eevee and Doug, framing coming along nicely. The nook,I thought laundry maybe. Who knew there are so many differences between tape measures. Interesting facts Doug, Thankyou. Have a lovely weekend

[@AfterTheRains]

Love the look of that heavy duty black tape measure. It looks so unique.

[@letasparks2485]

I love the one with the fractions.... I AM CLUELESS WITH FRACTIONS!! I'd whip that thang out and hollar 4 FEET AND THEN THE FRACTION.....LIKE I KNEW IT ALL BY MYSELF!!!! 🙂

[@labbrockington7854]

The trailer is really taking shape. A closet or a laundry room. Nice find Maverick the dragonfly is so pretty. God bless this family.🙏💖

[@brendariddle2349]

I love your tape measure assortment!! I have about 5 of them!! One is a Stanley power lock, one is a Lufkin 50ft!!!!! I keep these in the house & I have a little one that is a cheapie that I carry in my purse. The others are in the shed outside & since it is 1:35 am here in Oklahoma can’t tell what brand they are!! LOL. I know you are wondering what a 76 year old woman needs with all those tape measures, but I use those things a lot!! I also have a few cloth tape measures. Those are handy too. You got a lot of work done today. Little Maverick is growing so fast. I love that he likes bugs & worms & things like that. I do also even still at my age. Until next time. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@carlapierle8623]

That extra alcove looks big enough to hold a washer and dryer. Plus it's on the same side the plumbing will be on. I would like one of those tape measures with all the in-between fractions to save my eyes!

[@douglasbooker8330]

What I like is that Doug & Ash work on the fly with their building materials and tools Doug is chopping boards on the floor. Without all the KZbin sponsorship big tools. Good work guy’s!!

[@kerrylynnparsons7879]

Great progress!!! Maverick is SO SWEET!!! 🥰🌻🎶🌻❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🏡

[@thomasmorse6692]

My house, built in 1940...I'm sitting in the kitchen when I hear you mention an 80" door, so I measured my back door. 79" with the ceiling being 85". Lol. Total square footage is 648.

[@thasfun]

I just figured it out. I enjoy watching this channel because you guys remind me of the Doozers from Fraggle Rock. Always building new and cool stuff. It was my daughters favorite show when she was young. Also, who would have thought I would like seeing tape measures just as much as puzzles 🤔🥰🤣

[@diyfferent]

haha!

[@GratefulGma10]

I remember Fraggle Rock from my daughter's youth! Fun show.

[@joellenbroetzmann9053]

My husband loses a lot of tape measures. I think he usually forgets them at the hardware store. I remember both my dairy farmer grandpas had those wooden measuring things stuck in an overall pocket that were like a bunch of small rullers hooked together that would click into shape making longer ones. One had a round very skinny tape in a metal case that would pull out. It may have not been metal tape. I think it was only about a quarter inch wide if even that. I think it had to be reeled back in. Both grandpas also had a tin of Copenhagen snuff tucked into their Oskosh B'Gosh pockets, or some Black Jack gum. Precious memories of Grandpas who always let me "help" drive their Ford tractors, help feed cows, wash milkers, and even collect maple sap.

[@denisec6577]

My Grandma always kept Beemans, Black Jack, and Clove gum packets in her purse. She would allow me to snatch a stick whenever I wanted. Good memories.

[@kathleengraves4647]

So did mine! 😊

[@ca6177]

I like how things are moving along! Great work! I'm glad Maverick is always on the hunt for insects and "stuff"! 😊

[@jemreandeau3583]

Doug, you explain things very well. I’ve learned a lot from your channel but probably won’t use most of it. ❤

[@pamboone6921]

Hi Family, Awesome work day, ahead of schedule is wonderful for you guys I’m sure! My guess is the nook is washer n dryer hookup. Lol Probably wrong but I like to guess, lol I know you didn’t ask for a guess but I though I’d throw it in there anyways. 😂 Nice measuring tape collection, I love the ones with the fractions on them, just seems to speed everything up a tad for me. So good seeing you guys! Be safe, happy and God Bless ❤ Hi Maverick 🛴 Hi Belle 🐛

[@peggymohr7899]

I look forward to watching you every morning while I have my morning coffee. Love you both. Such a great team.

[@OldCritters]

Very exciting to see walls go up.👍💞

[@missykowalewski]

I’m am a nurse who is now trying DIY that requires some carpentry so I’m a beginner. Literally. I find the DeWalt tape measure to be the easiest in understanding all the fractions. Just makes things clearer. I have also learned that I’m doing chalk lines I prefer one that is 3:1 much more than the 6:1. Never before did I know any of this nor did I think I would need to. Would love to hear other beginners tips if u guys have any to share. NOTE: Great find Maverick. That dragon fly had very distinct and beautiful markings.

[@tammysarrazin-ux9tv]

Ashley the pig tails and the skirt makes you look like a teenager you look great hugsssss

[@sharonsardeson7992]

My favorite morning video.....thank you! You two make things look so easy in the way you work together....such a joy to watch. The mobile is coming along so nicely. I didn't know there were so many different tape measures....interesting side note!❤

[@lindabunce5133]

Your tape measures are like my scissor collection! I have scissors everywhere I might need them. And specialty ones separate.

[@lindajwilson9848]

Me too! I don't like having to search for scissors. Kept a pair in each room of my home!!

[@lindabunce5133]

​@@lindajwilson9848...and maybe it's a "Linda" thing!

[@richardlechtrecker9083]

Your accuracy is awesome..all your walls fall into place so effortlessly..but of course that is due to your attention to details ..Mobil home coming along so nicely😘

[@carmenmariacortesmarin2664]

That was a good bonus to the ending of another great video. Love your tape measuring collection.

[@ginagonzalez6547]

Hi Doug and Eevee, thank you for showing us your tape collection. I thought they only made a standard. Now I will also get my own mini collection for different things i do. However I love the sturdy ones because when I measure the length of a room it beds and is frustrating. I did not know they had a sturdy one. Thank you.

[@ryanking7312]

Good work, thanks for the content.

[@diyfferent]

Thank you so much!

[@anetzband1383]

Doug, since I started watching you back in Indiana I've been so impressed with your measuring and cutting ability. You helped me see how important it is to get the proper measurement to get that perfect fit. As I've watching some other KZbinrs I've had to laugh at how they do it. There's one especially that I just wish you could spend a half day with to teach them how to measure and cut. Anyway, all that to say I'm still old; I'm still living vicariously with you, and Florida is hot right now!

[@dragonflyneb8212]

Great progress. Love your emergency stash.

[@universaltires8530]

Thanks!

[@diyfferent]

Thank you!!

[@JadeDragon407]

You must be buying that lumber at a local outfit. Lowe's nor HD ever has anything that straight. LOL Great to see the baño and "laundry lounge" getting framed in, that gets the non-kitcheny plumbing all in one place. I've never seen tapes with markings on the backside, that is wild. I have a 15-20 yr old 25' Craftsman tape, it's got great reach before it "breaks". I like that Lufkin he's got, kinda has a fishing reel look to it, and cool dark mode it's got going on, and the numbers appear to be in DIYfferent font even, so you can't get mad at that. >>;=)

[@shadedflower9530]

A niche that is close to a water source must be going to also contain something that needs a water source -- easily plumbed. Washer/dryer/hot water heater closet? By the way, I'm loving your skirt, Evee! Hello to all and wishes for a wonderful weekend! ☺

[@elizabethbesco4758]

Doug, where did you learn your carpentry skills? Shop class, books, video's? Did you apprentice? You are a wonderful mentor explaining your projects. TY!

[@XtremeChiliPepper]

Holy cow tape measure collection - pretty funny ... then I went through my tools and thought, yeah, that's normal to have 6-8 different tape measures LOL! Great job framing! Wish your videos were longer, you convey information in a practical and enjoyable manner.

[@boredpeanutbutter75]

Great job! You're making it look so easy. This seems to be so going quickly.😊 Cool dragonfly Maverick! You guys take care! Bye 👋

[@cathybrewer8958]

Great collection of tape measures. Never knew they were made so different. Can see why you like them.

[@NosyHausfrau]

This is so incredible. This is essentially a completely new home. I can't wait to see what it's going to look like.

[@marafarnham595]

Love it! 👏👏 coming together 😮 Doug, you and Eevee have great vision. Thank you for sharing. Much love 🤗❤

[@tampajan1790]

I am so impressed by your family. You are such a good teachers and hard workers... Thank you. God bless you all. I pray for your health, happiness and continued success.❤

[@annettearties8538]

Good morning, family. I'm excited about the bathroom wall going up.

[@debrabrooks6138]

Awesome job! You got a lot done today! :)

[@alansmith2693]

I always leave a tape measure in the area I'm working and one at the miter saw. Invariably they both end up at the same location. Keep up the good work people.

[@alicet8791]

I went to my local big box hardware store and extended every single tape measure in stock to see which had the longest "break point" before it bent/folded. The crescent Lufkin won by several feet. Helpful when you are measuring alone, with no one to hold the other end of the tape.

[@GratefulGma10]

I learn so much from you guys 😊 Always working hard.

[@debbralehrman5957]

Thanks Guys👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🌺 What no Maverick saying goodbye at the end.🤷🏼‍♀️ 😀Bye-bye

[@doncc6080]

Nice work on the walls. I see you started on a porch for the back door. A man never has enough TAPE MEASURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kindness5130]

Nice bath size. Moving forward. Nice tape measures. I have never seen some of those and their different features and colors. Thanks for sharing. Blessings.

[@Christa10]

I really like the tape measure collection

[@lindakinsey1093]

I like you. Get really frustrated when tape measures bend. But you taught me something about the width making a difference. I will be paying more attention now which one I pick up.

[@lynnew5619]

I like the black tape. Jumped on here pronto, so I’ll count towards your YT algorithm! You mobile home is coming along quickly now. 👏👏❤

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

Looks great! Thank you for sharing! Bye Maverick!

[@cheryllytle4955]

Tape measures! Very cool.

[@SusieQ450]

Nice job. It always looks like a clean workspace. changing subjects, curious if the trailer is anchored.

[@diyfferent]

Yep, it's anchored.

[@SparkieLady3]

Eevee, I'm guessing the nook is going to be where a washing machine, and the water heater goes. Because you're like me, and prefer to hang the clothes up on a clothesline, instead of using a clothes dryer. 😊 Doug, we share the same obsession and I'm always on the hunt for a good tape measure, too! LOL!! However, you have a couple of them I don't have, so I took screenshots of the ones I'm interested in, and I'm definitely going to be doing some shopping!! LOL!! Hope ya'll enjoy your weekend!! Much Love and Hugs to you both and the kiddos!! ❤❤❤❤

[@dmartin4295]

Nice tape collection! 😀Framing is coming along nicely. 😊

[@valerieb8006]

Hi Doug and Eevee! I enjoyed the video! Ya'll have a restful weekend!🙋🌅🦩

[@mygarden365]

Something to think about - not nailing in the shower wall area of the wall - because if you decide to purchase a complete shower unit you might want the wall to be removed to slip it in more easily. But if your shower is in pieces - then it can more easily come through the door opening. Just a thought.

[@lmmartin959]

Loved seeing your collection!

[@denisewilson8367]

2 more steps forward. I like it. I'm going to guess maybe besides being the rear entrance that it can house a washer & dryer? In that niche? It would be so convenient.

[@diyfferent]

Yep :)

[@shelbyindianajones3226]

This is the fun part! Roof is done and the outside work, now time to enjoy being inside

[@darrinkotlinski2827]

I thought it was daughter helping you at first. Ashley is sneaky ha Get the boy in there and help move some 2x4’s. Good job Doug.!!

[@3rdgrainrocks88]

Love your choice of music.

[@cherylemaybury9967]

I’m guessing the extra alcove space is for the laundry area. Great progress today. 😊😊😊

[@jmuraw1488]

I love the self locking tape measures. So much easier to use!

[@charlenethomas9966]

Everything is coming together very well. 👋💕💕

[@TheLiFeInPines]

As always the frame work is on point! 👌🏻 Loved the tape measure bit. You are so good at explaining anything! We are pro Milwaukee 😝 We got new 25’ Milwaukee tapes but I’m not sold on the magnetic end (I didn’t know they had it). Off to watch the President episode! 🖤 We hope you all have a great weekend! 😊🌲❤️

[@MarkThielking]

You 2 are moving right along & doing great work

[@kamaoleaka9193]

Great educational skills. videos are very straightforward explanatory, thnx for sharing enjoy the wk/end .

[@SqueakyBarbarian]

I'm so excited we are at this point of adding walls! And by "we", I mean you because I live vicariously through your videos 😂😂😂

[@barbarakoeppe2623]

It is coming along nicely it probably won't be long before it is done you two work so hard

[@jahnkecy]

We are a Milwaukee Tools family! We love all their power tools that we own!

[@agresticumbra]

After seeing this, picked up a Lufkin. Thanks, Doug!

[@Rob23465]

I only have one 25 ft tape measure and a 100 ft tape measure. Thats neat that the Klien tools has a conduit bending guideline. I was just bending some conduit today for a barn. I was thinking when you add the electrical panel in you should add some conduits on the bottom of the panel going into the bottom of the trailer into a metal 4 square box, so your trailer is more futureproofed if you decide to add some outlets or whatever, because fishing up into a panel sucks.

[@pippaseaspirit4415]

My guesses for the little nook are either a closet for coats, outdoor shoes and boots; alternatively it could be a laundry room.

[@connieverbeck1110]

👏👏👏👏 Cheering you on!!

[@carriebishop8838]

Thank you for showing us your collection.

[@faithluckystar]

Yes I get it tape measuring emergency! Nice collection Doug.

[@beezhomestead6576]

I’m always encouraged by your videos. Love your channel. 😊💕🇨🇦

[@ireneromero5326]

Looking forward to seeing more progress on your home 🏡 ❤😊

[@shergc]

It's looking more like a home.

[@BigDreamsTinyBudget]

Doug you need to find an old Tomboy Tools brand tape measure to that collection! Has all of the fractions on it. Its smaller but its also pink so easy to find!

[@ILGuy2012]

And no guy is tempted to steal it?

[@BigDreamsTinyBudget]

@@ILGuy2012 exactly! They even had pink jumper cables. Ive never had anyone walk off with them LOL

[@patriciasiefert7140]

I think we all collect something we like! Love your collection. Maverick is so cute!

Looking good you guys 👍

[@cindydimery708]

Well, you’re really making progress with the mobile home project. 💪👏🏼☺️👋Bye Maverick ☺️
