Saving Our Old Trailer - Window and Floor Repair - Mobile Home Rebuild

[@PatriotCoder]

I love seeing Ashley smiling more often. So glad you moved to Florida, so now Ashley doesn't have to be cold all the time! 🥶 🎉

[@diyfferent]

Yes! I'm so glad we moved to Florida. :)

[@terrifletcher7662]

I was very lucky. My mobil is a 1984 and they put good quality insulation in the walls and my windows don't rattle in the wind or leak. I live in a mobil home park in the California desert so you hear about this stuff everyday. I have learned alot form the years of watching you guys redo these mobils.

[@galady8632]

Ashley and Doug are certainly powering forward on their investment property. A 40 year old dwelling will soon be able to reset to a rebuilt date of 2024. With their amazing skills, determination and focus on such high standards they always create better than new homes. It is a joy to watch them work.

[@pattycarosi9618]

Very nice Doug and Ashley. It all is coming along nicely. I could watch you all for hours.😊🙏💕🌴

[@lindajc123]

From time to time, you say "don't worry" - that never enters my mind. You are so painstaking when you do anything, that I just wait for you to finish the job, and know you will do it in the best way possible - even beyond what is necessary.

[@kimglass8371]

What makes a rainy gray day in PA better? A new video from Florida!! Yay! Thanks!

[@patriciastoots486]

Those old trailer windows would make a nice hot frame for starting seeds

[@carolaussie87]

It amazes how often these per-loved homes are overlooked, your all going to bring this gem back to it's glory, for a family to love again. History, memories,life and fun once more. Thankyou

[@steveescape5667]

Great information, great content, enjoyable for everyone, and family friendly, thanks for what you guys do. May you reap, in the best way possible 100 fold economically and spiritually back to you and your family. ❤️😃✝️ I ask for continual and increased favor upon you guys in all you do. Thanks again.

[@jaymeharl3270]

Ya'll are getting me through this dark, depressing, cold, rainy Indiana winter. I appreciate you!

[@deeanderson7358]

I raised my two sons in a 1979 champion mobile home and it was very comfortable for us. In 2001 I moved it to our lake property on 1/2 acre and we did some updates and to this day we as a big family are enjoying it. I love watching your build on this. But anything you both do turns out beautifully. Great video. God bless

[@dianaregan6698]

Nice music as I enjoy my daily DIY update. Going great.

[@chalmadanes405]

Having Ashley there really facilitates your work flow. Toting and fetching is a gift. You guys are such a good team.

[@etd2464]

Slow but steady progress....great work as always. Really enjoy your videos and seeing your visions come to life!

[@lechatbotte.]

That’s a good lifespan for a window, most don’t last that long. Even in a regular house they wear out. Newer technology often has better parts too. I’m just enjoying the ride watching as the rain is pouring down here.

[@pinballrick6031]

As I renovated and remodeled my 1984 mobile home I procrastinated doing the windows. It was just a pain trying to find affordable windows, figuring out the correct sizes and it was simply a job I didn’t look forward to doing. (There was no DIYfferet back then to show me how easy the job was. (Minus rot.)) The previous owner had actually replaced the glass in one window with plexiglass. I tolerated it until one cold winter night we had a huge windy storm with horizontal rain knocking out power. That plastic window kept loudly bulging in and out with each gust of wind. Concerned, I examined it. I gave it a small poke with my finger hoping it would survive the storm. About thirty seconds later the whole thing blew into the house. With rain pouring into the house I frantically ran out to the shop grabbing a tarp, hammer and nails and covered the window. The next day I was able to temporarily reinstall that plexiglass, but I soon ordered new windows and replaced every window in the house. Note to self: Don’t wait until tomorrow to do what needed to be done yesterday.

[@stevensharp6622]

That includes the roof.I live in a 1974 mobile home.Did the roof first.The six inch eave helps.Now all the old windows I need to replace?At least they're dry window sills inside for the first time during rain.

[@elizabethbaker4094]

Man I could watch you guys all day. I hate it when the video ends but look forward to the next one.

[@beverleymartin1881]

I am in awe of how you can go from one job to another so seamlessly, what a team you are,.Please don't be concerned about the doubters and be true to yourself,I look forward to every new adventure. X

[@kylerrichmeier5892]

What a funky tune! Listening on headphones and I started getting into it and tapped my thumb on the table the exact same time they added some tapping noise in the music it tripped me out, made me feel like my finger made a lot more noise hahaha

[@brendahaire8824]

Doug and Ashley I get so excited when I see a new video. I am along for the ride

[@pattysmith2199]

Y’all are doing GREAT‼️❤️I love watching you guys working together. I have watched y’all since Maverick was a baby. This is easily my favorite you tube channel by far‼️keep up the good work and always take care of yourselves ❤️

[@diyfferent]

Thanks! I'm happy that you enjoy our channel! :)

[@zanesutherland406]

It’s unfortunate this home looks like it never had any real maintenance done on it. Most people don’t understand what all goes into home ownership. My dad had to recently pay $22k to replace a wall of windows in their 2006 custom home they built new. He never resealed the windows when I told him and would rather be fishing, hunting, or at the bar. If it was a bad rainstorm gallons of water would pour in that we would have to deal with. It was a great lesson for him. His home leaked and my camper didn’t! All my camper windows are the original ones from 1988. Some of the corners where the glass and rubber glazing were leaking when I first got it. All I had to do was use a screwdriver and push the rubber back in on all the windows! And then I did take all of them out and re-butyl tape and caulk them as well.

[@deborahhope9094]

So nice to see all the old wood rot replaced with solid wood. It’s very satisfying! ❤️🇨🇦

[@savannahsmiles1797]

Just want to say WEATHER ENVY as I am being slammed with wind, SNOW and everything cold...but great job as usual y'all 🙂 and THANK YOU!! for the diversion!

[@lindakemp2742]

The neighbors must be happy to see you fixing up that rack of a trailer, it will definitely make a big difference in the look of that neighborhood. 👍

[@diyfferent]

Their homes look about the same as this home, so they probably don't care. But once ours is done, it will be the best one around there! :)

[@janetapplegate4163]

i have come to the realization that i am addicted to you all...i look forward to seeing as often as you post

[@yavrum22]

lol I guess I am also 😂. I look forward seeing how they do things because I find them very informative and a really good family 😊. Overall, I just enjoy their energy.

[@sharonrobledo136]

Another window bites the dust with the vanishing couple. Moving forward so cleanly. Looking forward to seeing more projects!

[@EveBrandy]

Someone is going to end up with a mobile home that's much better than when it was new! Great edit on the sped up musical portion. 🙂

[@ndlz1]

That is a great job! If you come back to the mobile home, and it has moved a bit, it’s because it was doing a happy dance after you left.👏🏻🤗🙏

[@niksand1713]

Nice to find minimal rot for a change, good work!

[@missykenyaking7741]

Hello my favorite family thank you for another great video I can’t wait til you drop your videos I love love your channel Ashley and you are the hardest working people thanks again keep the videos coming can’t wait til you finish 🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰👍👍❤️❤️

[@lindajwilson9848]

I am loving how often you are posting! Shorter videos, same informative information, and plugging along to complete each small project--big check mark on the to-do-list: DONE! Progress with precision!! Happy days to your family and keep cracking!

[@jimdelong949]

It was nice that this window change went a lot better than the others. It's exciting that you only have a few more to go. I finally found a shirt the same color as Doug's I just wish I could put it on and be able to think like him 😊 See ya next time.

[@rbirkheimer59]

It will look brand new when it's done! Keep on keepin on ! Hi Mav! God Bless. Love , Granny

[@kaycox19]

More BIG TIME PROGRESS! Well, well done!

[@EngineersHomestead]

I get a chuckle thinking of Sam from from Green Acres rattling off "1984 Palm Harbor etc etc" mobile home whenever you mention its an 1984. Love Sam and Angie's channel too.

[@diyfferent]

I think his was a 1988 Palm Harbor. Sam has such a great collection of videos on this topic and even I have referenced them at times to see his methods.

[@EngineersHomestead]

@diyfferent dang you're right! I messed up his running joke tagline. I think I found Sam due to workshop build then you guys after I started watching his reno videos. Can't say I've ever had a mobile home, but enjoy watching both your channels. It's the DIY spirit and honesty I appreciate.

[@maryjanepate4359]

Whatever y'all decide to do ith your mobile home, it's going to be a lovely home.❤😊

[@Flower3394]

I noticed how easy it is to tell the old windows from the new windows. The old ones are white and cloudy from the outside. You can't see through them. The new ones are beautiful. I do love the music selection you pick.

[@marshamclemore6790]

I love this channel the first thing I look for every morning! Awesome videos always ❤❤❤❤

Been following them for about 7 years. The Cat House Build for the ferrel cats. They are on their 2nd or 3rd home, their 2nd trailer. Rebuilt a metal shed , built a greenhouse, several decks, old garage to barn, chicken coop, repurposed a bus, worked on a car, plus so much more. I’m not sure exactly why but I have been and will be following them, curios what they will come up wit next.

[@missykowalewski]

It’s these kind of projects where I get the confidence to try things. I always thought u made it look easy. Find the problem, get rid of the bad stuff, clean the area, take a break and a deep breath, then just go step by step. Didn’t quite happen so easy the first time but the second was better and by the third I knew what I was doing. I’m so grateful I found this channel back when I did. I’m certain I never would have even tried. As always, thank u for sharing and for all the work it takes to deal with the camera. And Ashley, great job in the editing.

[@canuckyank82]

Great work! These videos are quite appealing. Your methods are familiar and satisfying to watch. There is no uncertainty. You work with great confidence and that really makes it all so enjoyable. The window looks great. Thanks for the video!

[@aries37]

In Florida the hurricane winds pushing against the panes will pop the seals on the window as well. That was the reason we had to replace and rebuild our breakfast nook. Hurricane Charlie plus the heat, humidity and rains just feeds the rot once the rain finds a way in. -- Not to mention the bugs it attracts.

[@number1pappy]

It's amazing the difference in build quality between these 1984 mobile homes and modern double wide mobile homes. Ours has 2x6 exterior walls and 2x8 floor joist on 16 center with 3/4 inch subfloor. It also has traditional windows and doors like a regular stick built home. Plywood exterior sheathing with vinyl siding. However one can't argue that this 1984 mobile home wasn't built sturdy as it's obviously lasted 40 years and being in Florida has weathered many hurricanes without major damage. I have zero doubt that the place will look fantastic when you're done with the renovation. 😊

[@diyfferent]

Yeah, I was looking into that recently and was really surprised by the build quality of some of the new mobile homes, just as you described. It does make me wonder if weight isn't as much of an issue today as it was back then, or was it just a cost thing. No idea.
