We're a DIY family building our "forever homestead" from 15 acres of raw undeveloped land in Tennessee. All of our content is family friendly and safe for everyone to enjoy.
In today's video we are working in our laundry room of our 1988 Palm Harbor 14 x 70 single wide mobile home. We finish replacing the last bit of old subfloor in our home with 3/4" plywood.

Must feel good to get rid of all that particleboard. We've replaced all of the subfloor in the kitchen, bathrooms, by front door, and any soft spots in the single wide we bought to remodel. It's not an easy undertaking by any means and especially with lumber costs right now. By the time you guys get done you will pretty much have a new house that should last for many years to come. Great job! 👏👏

[@diyfferent]

To not have to do any more subfloor is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G :)

[@davidreed9615]

I could almost feel the frustration around 11m as the plywood just kept bouncing back, not wanting to go under the wall at all. Way to persevere! Congrats on having replaced all of the old subfloor.

[@whip205inthebam3]

Sam, that is a left handed cordless circular saw you are using in your right hand. Left handed saws have the blade on the left and right handed on the right. The blade should always be away from the body so in case the saw kicks back it is less likely to take a cut to the main mid section of your body. Cordless saw designers apparently didn't take this into account and if you're injured by one that might all change if one goes after them in a lawsuit.

[@maggiesue4825]

It's almost like you created extra square footage out of thin air! So much roomier, not to mention the pantry!!

[@gnomeincentralGA]

Congrats on having finished replacing all of the subflooring in the whole mobile home. What a feeling of accomplishment you must have. I couldn't believe my eyes when you put that one piece in from the OUTSIDE!!

[@GreenAcreHomestead]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@LambieSamba]

Sam, said with love, RN Herbalist here, Faces are not supposed to be red all the time. Metabolic syndrome leading to DM could be the cause (have HTN?) Think Keto darling, your wife and boys want you to be with them always! (Tell your brother too) I will go back to minding my own business now! I am so impressed with the work you two do together, and love hearing the boys enjoying their new land!

[@pmartin6759]

👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Sam I gotta say something....you basically have a twin in the world, not identical but so close it amazes me every time I watch you guys. Especially when you put sunglasses on and also when the video shows the back of your head and shoulders. I know because I could almost say....oh my goodness that's my oldest son.....They always say you got a twin somewhere that isn't even related to you....well I know myself you have one lol I truly kid you not.😳 He also is a hard worker and a family man just as you are👍👍👍

[@leem200]

You two make a great team. I am excited for you. Cannot wait to see it completed. I believe in using stuff until you can no longer, get every dime spent on it out of it and fix and repair until you cannot. We have had to buy a dish washier today. My other one is at least 20 yrs old. Its white. The handle finally broke, and we have it working but its jury rigged. Also just started shutting off once in a while before that and we have to restart it. Husband can fix just about anything. He says its time. We cannot order the door no longer make it. It was a whirlpool been a good one. He has repaired the dryer we have many times. Its older than the dish washier. Washier too and he has replaced parts on it too. Also, helps save our landfills. We will scrap what we can on her. No money but it is the right thing to do.

[@estellaknox9285]

i like your idea how you put the subfloor in without tearing down the wall SAM you are a genealogist🤣🤣🤣

[@charlesvrogers]

Hi. Don't forget to put the drip pan under the washer, it will save your new floor . If you have a front load washer, the door gasket "will" leak. Great show. Thanks

[@footplate0]

Great advice but the funny thing is that all of my washers have been front loaders (as in Europe front loaders are the norm) and I have been married for 44 years and never had a door gasket leak, not even once. I have had the water hose and water pump leak, so a drip pan is still needed. Thanks for posting

[@charlesvrogers]

@@footplate0 You are just lucky. I am a former repair man, I have replace a few hundred Door seals and main pumps, " Knock - On - WOOD ".

[@jackiesaylor2487]

Sam I gotta admit I giggled a little bit on that second to very last board you were trying to hammer under the wall WHILE YOU WERE STANDING ON IT. I was wondering if you realized that it wasn't going to move with you on it or not. Y'all are doing a great job, no matter how you do it, you git'er done.

[@gailmaree7719]

What a difference the new layout will make. Big job but good investment for the future life of your home!

[@lkcantwell]

Sam & Angela, I'm thrilled that you don't have to buy new front loaders, as they really are about $1K each. Did that last year. Love that you have all new floors - wish we could do that but we are just too old and hubby doesn't want to spend the money to do it, so we have some squeaks. Love you all and your videos too!! So very happy for you!!

[@b.powell3480]

Great video!, the only thing that's even more fun is lifting up kitchen base cabinets and sliding a 4 foot by 8 foot section of plywood under not only the cabinets, but the exterior wall as well, after dealing with plumbing issues!!! Lol 😆

[@laurastevenson2785]

Your wife need to be rewarded because she is the bomb, and she equally works very hard like you, I will continue to pray for your new build journey. God Bless love’s 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@floief]

Wonderful!!! No more soft floor...anywhere!!! Now, don't be me....remember some of the pantry and closet space will be taken by the build. I do that every time. What a great place for the new pantry too. it's gonna be so nice and I'm so jealous.

[@crinkle2649]

If you put a closet bar higher than normal and then put one lower than normal you have twice the hanging space. Or you can just put in one higher than normal and build drawers under it. Whatever you do it'll be great I'm sure.

[@mimiohnine]

I agree.

[@carolannbolinger3795]

That’s a great idea

[@darrylmcleman6456]

Their are screws with neoprene washers that go under the metal washer in various sizes. I changed all of the screws in my mobile home for those with neoprene washers and I went to the next size up screw. You probably are already aware of those screws. CHEERS from HERE

[@SxmTech101]

The dynamic duo for sure, Sam and Angela for the win, keep up the good work and May God continue to Bless you guys and come up with great Reno for the channel.

[@walkintall9000]

Your show is better than “This Old House”! Love it.

[@mlm7598]

I know you are feeling less stressed and more proud in what you have done and made your home newer each improvemet. YOu literally know your home inside and out now. It's an awesome feeling ..........also you know the structure and how secure it is now and you can fix anything it shows and yes agree Angela is a savior in many instances. She is one lady who isn't afraid to go for it and walk the walk to assist in getting anything done. Many ppl would be envious of having a helper so capable and like wise the other way around......how lucky you guys are and the money you save doing it yourself...........plus NO MORTGAGE on the house......WOW that is huge. You guys are rocking it and I hope you are as proud of yourselves as I am watching you.............awesome team and awesome work. Hang in there........it's almost there!!!!! Yahoooooooooo Blessings

Please be in prayer for Gaylord Michigan! Friday, May 20th, 2022 an EF3 tornado ripped through the bissness section of town, a trailer park and private homes. 2 deaths, over 50 injured and many left homeless and businesses destroyed. Only 1 wall of Hobby Lobby is still standing, a camper/rv lot looks like twisted metal. My home church is there, thankfully it wasn't hit. Over half of the church campus is being used to home the homeless from this and provide things they need!! God is pouring out His love through volunteers bringing food and supplies, but much more is needed. It's very unusual for a tornado that far up in the Northern Lower Peninsula!! Gaylord EFree church is the church.

[@jdc5941]

Angela and Sam, another outstanding video, entertaining and informative as always. I bet you will be happy when the remodel is done. Check your PayPal account, should be something there from your friends from Iowa. If not, let us know.

[@timnewman1172]

With all the skills(and tools!) you've aquired, you could just about build your next home someday! Glad you have made it into a solid house, you will not regret all you have done...

[@timnewman1172]

Since like me you live in "tornado country", I hope you can budget for some kind of storm shelter as soon as you can. You may be able to get some funding thru FEMA, etc to help offset the cost. While these shelters aren't cheap, the lives of you & your family are priceless!

[@edgasaway2207]

You’ll two work together like your supposed to and laugh about things which is a great combination.

[@rubberdc]

I am in awe of you both ! you tackle things that I wouldnt dare . I think you are both very brave! you should be very proud of your accomplishments!

Thanks Duncan! We've worked ourselves up to this level for sure. :) Past-Us would be shocked at what we do now! LOL

[@kevinlondon8340]

@@GreenAcreHomestead do you guy have to get a home inspection where you live. In Canada if you do any renovations with out a permit they can make you rip everything out so it can be inspected . Just asking because I remember you saying you can’t live in it until you get a permit to say it is livable

[@heiditatman5055]

A nickels worth of free unsolicited advice. Put a 36 inch door in instead of the open 48 inch opening. With the boys, I'm sure you do tons of laundry. Close the door whenever doing laundry to isolate the heat and humidity generated from washing/drying from the rest of the home. In the climate that you now live in you will need all the help you can get to keep it cool during the warmer months. There's my nickels worth. lol

[@vernellpresident7173]

Y'all are a great team. And from a women point of view i am learning from you girl thank you. I wish i could handle those tools like you. I love it.

[@alexdreher]

I do not know exactly what has changed and what happened, but there is a slight difference in the videos since you move your mobile home! I can feel a new fun and power, also a new way of thinking and a new way of filming! Angela is way more open and happy in the videos! I love the new way of how you do it! 👍🏻❤️

[@marywest2896]

lordy lordy. that small area there looked to be the hardest floor install of all, having to ease it in like that but as you said it made real sense to do it that way.

[@garycarter4297]

Very proud of you two, y'all work so well together. I live in a single wide and love it. I had a house but when my kids left, I ask myself, why do you want to clean and pay taxes on this thing. They grow up fast so enjoy the closeness while you can.

[@deanbarr5740]

Sam, thats about as "professional" as it gets in my book. You and Angela did a good job. It always pays off in the long run, to do it right.

[@watahyahknow]

wat you mightve been anble to do is screw a beam across the inside of the wall studs passed the opening in the floor and toward where the floor is solid , then either screw legs to that crossbeam to hold the wall up to the original height or maibe use two hydraulic jacs to rase the whoe thing a few mm (sorry european here) so you could slide the new flooring under there without hammering and drop the wall back on it , them remove the beam and keep on going

[@garysoykin2783]

Sometimes if you’re trying to slide a piece of wood in a tight spot use a little wax paper on both sides and I’ll help it slide in

One of the best things about a front loader is the amount of water saved. You don't need to get both.

The great thing about making video is it keeps you filming and working. So no lazy half done jobs that we all (your viewers) have.

[@GreenAcreHomestead]

You're exactly right!!! We "must" keep working to show progress and it had better be right! LOL

[@LearningToLiveTexasHomestead]

A little suggestion for anyone else doing this. Cut your self some 1 inch tall by 6 in long tapered wedges and drive them under the bottom plate directly under each stud about 1/4 inch past the bottom plate after you have removed the original floor. This will give you some wiggle room to get you plywood floor started going under the bottom plate. There will be less weight and friction on the plywood. The wedges will drive out easily by the plywood passing under the bottom plate allowing the bottom plate and wall to re-settle on the new plywood flooring

[@itwaswrongwrong3713]

You two are very good workers. And you make a great couple.

[@cindyjones1270]

The floor looks great. You seem to be doing a good job with your own ideas.

I don’t usually comment on video episodes, even though I watch a lot of different content … I started watching you at your old place on following the shop work and maker business. I now continue to watch your move and establishing your new homestead, and of course now you home restoration. I just wanted to tell you I admire the diligence of you both, and how well you work together… at least on camera 😊… really I get a sense of your dedication to your homestead… it is admirable. Not many are willing to step out there and take risk, you both are an inspiration of independence and taking personal responsibility for your family, homestead and “getting it done”. Thank you for your inspiration of independence and family relationships!! Sorry for the rambling, cyber is difficult to convey thoughts, hopefully you get the essence of my thoughts. God bless you both and may your strength endure when the journey is sometimes difficult. Michael

Is there some kind of class action lawsuit against particle board floors? I am so upset by my subflooring and the stacks of extra plywood on top of the garbage subflooring that the old homeowners did to this place. It is so janky! Why didn't they just put a plywood floor down to begin with? It HAS to be against the law to build a house this way?!

Omg!

I love that you can see where the closet is going to be and where that new door will also be, and that layout looks so good, I agree with Angela that a wider entryway is going to be so much better, and I like where the stackable washer and dryer are going to be.

Wow Another great video. Not a single dull moment As always we get to hear words from Sam's dictionary. Couldn't stop laughing watching you wiggle/ jiggle whichever the piece from the outside. The methods you use may not be conventional and make some people just look and scratch their head. But you know what. It works. Don't know how but it does😊 Keep those bloopers coming at the end. Showing us the layout by taping it out on the floor really gives a more solid idea of what is planned. Can't wait to see you saw, hammer, drill, put in screws, and whatever next time. Stay strong and safe
