We're Saving This Place - Salvaged Mobile Home Rebuild

[@Hollybank5]

Most people would look at that mobile home and think it’s trash - haul it away and place a new one on the property. Not you guys!!! You see potential. With some hard work, time and skill -. VOILA !! = new house 🏡 More young folks should get the hint - What an amazing example and inspiration you are !!! ❤

[@Mitch-Hendren]

These days itd cost as much to dispose of it as it would to strengthen it . People tend to forget it was a free mobile with the land they bought . .not the other way around . Its about time we went back to repairing rather than dumping I'm really glad to see it . So Im in total agreement with you 😁😁 hi from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@roseeckstein6534]

What’s sad is that usually you can’t get a loan for a trailer especially a 1984 one. Doesn’t matter how well the fix it up. But they said they don’t intend to sell it so it’s all good.

[@metalmyke1]

That's because trailers depreciate in value

[@kdugg]

@@roseeckstein6534 all you have to do is have its taxes switched from personal property to real property. My double wide is real property just like a stick built home. No title to it anymore. Home value increases over time like a house also instead of falling like personal property

[@kdugg]

@@roseeckstein6534 that being said. This one wouldn’t have qualified for that

[@lindabunce5133]

Everytime I see Ashley or Belle handing you the next screw, I think you are the luckiest man alive. To always have one at the reach is so valuable! It is a much bigger help than it shows.

[@davesimmons1784]

Thank goodness the rot is gone. Can’t wait to see the new layout. So far so good! Hang in there! Rooting for you guys, you’re awesome!!

[@TheWoodHaven]

Ashley, I love watching you help Doug. You always know what he needs, an extra hand, a tool, holding something back, moving stuff out of the way. It's actually rare for people to foresee what's needed. You provide the type of assistance that everyone appreciates. Not sure if you realize that. And...Maverick!!

[@rod1695]

I would put the eat in kitchen on that end of the house. I would love sitting at a dining room table, drinking coffee and looking out those windows! I’ll keep watching to see if we’re on the same track.

[@ruthiezophia7118]

I'm getting spoiled seeing a video every day

[@rose-g3l]

You did a very good job of removing a useless door to give you more space to live in. It is in my opinion better to have to manage in case of unknown problem, to quickly evacuate the premises TOGETHER, the number of doors you have decided. You win in both cases. You are careful, you always document seriously, before making a decision, on the best standards, norms, and you apply them. I admire your sense of responsibility to protect your family. BRAVO

[@lakeliving645]

You all do amazing work. Whoever the lucky people are that buy that mobile home are going to enjoy it. They also will have the extra benefit of being able to see how it was assembled again. Go back to your KZbin videos and you can see the detail that you put into every step along the way.

[@hoosierladyus48]

It sure was a mess around that old door. It's looking great now!

[@tomthumb4767]

My father has a dozen Mobile Home Rentals . You do your repairs the right way , just like I do for him . Two thumbs up .

[@barbaracrane470]

Belle looks just like her beautiful mom. She is getting so grown up. I miss her drawings. I hope she is still doing her art. I was an art teacher for 45 years, both elementary and high school. Her drawings were so well done and advanced. One of the best drawing books I came across was "Mark Kistler's Draw Squad". It has simple, easy directions for drawing shapes and shading for volume and mass, step by step instructions for drawing shapes and shading. My students loved it and it took them into shading for 3D shapes like vases, castles, and many, many other things. Amazon offers it. I have followed you and your family for many years now and love your videos and you all as well. Thanks for allowing me to become part of your "family".

Removing and closing that door turned out nice. Everything is looking good on the mobile home. Great job Doug and Ashley.

We were in 120mph micro blast in Northern Minnesota several years ago silos and hip roof barns went down but our 1980 Mobil home with those straps never moved

[@mrrs8118]

After watching this project, I am more convinced than ever that you two aren’t afraid to tackle anything! This is a fun renovation to watch.

[@jacquicoder7160]

This project is coming along so nicely and I know you have great plans for the inside. I loved Maverick's concern at the end about his dad hurting himself with that heavy door. He is such a sweet boy. Thanks for sharing your family with us as well as your remodel/rebuild projects. I am so happy your lunch wasn't ruined!

[@sarahmiller4069]

That was really neat to watch how you took that door out and it doesn't even look like there was ever a door there Great job

[@Duma39]

Aww, little Maverick- “don’t hurt yourself “ 🥰. That was too sweet! Doug mentioned it felt like you’re building a mobile home.. YOU ARE! Practically from the foundation up. Great work as always 👏🏻

[@cjones6049]

I am surprised that there were no screws supporting that door! So thankful you guys were not injured! Stay safe.

[@Slievenamon]

Doug, when they are making the frames for the mobile homes they should use corner brackets to attach the vertical timbers to the horizontal timbers, that way it would make repairs so much easier.

[@tinalehmann8047]

I really like watching you guys! You have great work ethic and I appreciate you explaining the building process well and interestingly for non- professionals like me. What are you planning to do for the exterior of the mobile home? i.e. pressure washing, painting, decorative siding or anything? Keep up the good work 😊

[@ourmobilehomemakeover662]

They have mentioned previously that they plan to paint it.

[@diannahawthorne4988]

I’m always so impressed with your attention to detail

[@pamd4068]

I too love the little insight into little happenings like meatloaf. I have a slow cooker and a hardly ever use it. I need to get it out. 🙂 Thanks for the inspiration

[@deborahrobertson2340]

Maybe it's my misconception, but the front right tire on the bus looks low. Maybe it's just the way it's parked in the dirt and sunken down? This trailer project is pretty exciting. I look forward to the results. There are so many details in every decision. I find it so interesting.

[@diyfferent]

It often looks that way, but it's inflated to the correct psi :)

I was hoping to see some more dancing today, Doug. You have great rhythm. Maverick was very good too. Well that was a great job 👏 replacing the door with the new siding. It looks awesome. You guys are going full steam ahead on this project. Lunch looks amazing. I love meatloaf. Ashley, you are a superstar. Great offsider for Doug, and still manage to take such good care of the family.

[@d.s.3551]

I think if these homes had a more substantial gutter system it would help immensely. The gutters aren't enough to handle the water shed.

[@diyfferent]

Those mini gutters are terrible. I seems they are more for securing the roof and hiding the roof edge seam than for helping with water. That's definitely an area that could use some improvement.

I like the fun design shapes of the vintage mobile homes. I have a wish to have one from the 50's to restore, and use as a work space. Yellow & white would be too cute. I won't do it though bc someone would want to live in it. 😄 It's looking so good!! Gives an idea of how nice it will be when painted. 👍 ``
