There’s no better feeling than the feeling of a door closing properly after installing it! Her face says it all 😊

[@dougroberts1333]

Being a retired contractor/project manager I would like to pass on a trick. You dont need to leave the door in the frame to hang it. Get the hinge side plumb and the threshold level and then fit the rest of the frame to the door. I promise with practice its much easier then fighting that heavy door and frame all in at once. I also use 2 1/2 to 3 inch torx head screws to hold it in place under the weather strip and then one in each hinge..

[@DebraWild]

Angela during the exterior reveal, "Nice!" Made me smile so much I watched it twice.

[@minnesotagal507]

My ex was installing the door into our mobile home and a few friends stopped over, next thing you know he left with them and I had a big opening , had to lean the door up in the there until he came home many many hours later, couldn’t go to bed , couldn’t lock the door, he was too inebriated to finish of course, so many bugs got in . Just one of the dumb moves that made me decide NO more! And I had a 2 year old running around !

[@loissaedder2214]

Wow his priorities were up the sh*t weren't they? And his friends could have helped finish the door before they all left. Or perhaps it might have been just as well they didn't.

[@sam-and-angela]

We're very sorry to hear you had that happen.

[@kaw10]

Loved watching this video.

[@davidosburn4042]

😂 the kid said I'm out and left the 2 year old with you

[@christopherdavis2171]

Sounds like you needed to get rid of him instead of the door lol

[@julielee2297]

I am so impress with your intense dedication to the various upgrades and renovation work that you have undertaken. Glad that you've included the boys with many of the projects. Way to go mom and dad

[@rubberdc]

I really enjoy watching Angela's facial reactions and squeals that she answers you with when you say anything she thinks is exciting .

[@dianajohnson7337]

Y'all are inspiring me to get some upgrades done on this poor old 70's model double we live in! Came for the roof over and staying for the rest. Stay well

[@Gary-hi5xr]

Great job you two. Not everyone would take the time to make it right.

[@reannejarvis9464]

Wow that makes the house look like a HOME. Having struggled with furniture and small spaces I definitely approve larger is much more functional. Can hardly wait for the full Reno. So enjoying watching you solve challenges.

[@sam-and-angela]

We totally agree! It's amazing how the "big door" makes the space inside and looks outside feel now!

[@tracymclaughlinholmes677]

As someone who never intended on, never planned on, and never wanted to be in a wheelchair but now I am I personally appreciate when people put in doors big enough that me and my wheels can fit through even if I never come to your house, even if you never need it, it helps that resell value!

[@sam-and-angela]

It is definitely something I try to bear in mind when doing things and if at all possible make accommodations. We never know what the future may bring for us. :)

[@ronmartinmhg2804]

I'm impressed by the way you two work together. My wife and I are like two tigers in the same cage. After nearly starting World War 3 by trying jointly to do a job, it was decided, by whom I wonder, that men's work should be left to me. We are still together after 34 years so it was a good decision. Well done you two. The door looks quite posh!

[@oreobenavidez953]

My husband and I are in the same cage lol heck I can't go anywhere with him and we have 25 yrs lol

[@TennValleyGal]

You'll are awesome. Hearing the 'feral' kids in the background brings back wonderful memories. God Bless you.

[@sam-and-angela]

Thanks!!

[@SciaticaDrums]

I may replace the residential door in my mobile home with another one so here I am! Next Spring when I do the exterior. Thanks for the video.

[@danbailey96]

It’s basically like a regular home install after you enlarged the rough opening to fit……I have always replaced mobile home doors with house doors and the rot you found around the door is very typical of mobile homes…almost every metal clad mh I have done had rot.

[@homezero]

I started watching SamCraft vids on KZbin. I too am a woodworker and have purchased a Shapeoko Pro XXL and loving it. Sam had mentioned in passing about this channel and how it was taking up his time. I see why and how this is. However, I am enjoying watching your family work your land and renovate your home. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of it all.

[@sam-and-angela]

Very cool! Welcome to this alternate version of Sam & glad you came over! LOL

[@danielheartsill4269]

I would like to see you put a roof over the front porch and the steps. I know you guys don't have a lot of snow and ice but having the steps covered when you do is very nice and a safety factor. Good job with the door.

[@POSMhorsefarmer7]

You guys are cool! It's fun to watch you work together. Nice job on the new door. It's a beaut! Praise God!

[@kuehnel16]

My wife and me inherited my parents 1988. Well last weekend a young girl backed into the front corner of our mobile home, she just started learning. No insurance so I will have to fix it myself . Was hoping to get a idea of what its going to take to fix it by watching you two . Guess all I can do is jump in and hope for the best 👌

[@timbarbour9402]

Did the same thing a few years ago. Much easier getting furniture in and out with the bigger door . Great job !

[@sam-and-angela]

Totally!!

[@marialooksdelishwillhaveto3640]

Wow!You both did a great job!Never realized you could install a residential door in a mobile home,great job❤Watched video at 12:30

[@barbarainalabama460]

Fantastic! You may have just earned you PHD in Doorology! 🌼

[@knight8821]

You guys are adorable! You can definitely tell you love each other!

[@rondahoward5341]

Y’all! I love the new door. Doors are expensive in general if you think about it, it’s a door….. Great teamwork! Love watching y’all!

[@sam-and-angela]

We agree! Thanks!

[@kathyusa-iowa5137]

💡 When you get that new furniture 😍, if there are any cushions on the old stuff, KEEP THEM❗🙌 They make great knee cushions for when you have to kneel to do a job❗👍

[@sylviakeller3134]

Hey Sam I learned something new! Now I know what a king stud and a jack stud is. I already knew what a header was.

[@sam-and-angela]

Happy to help spread the -ologisms! :)

[@michellecapps5445]

Thank yall.

[@michellecapps5445]

Yall are so smart.k wish I could be as smart inspiration

[@PattiRoseLifeHappens]

I really like that style of door! Looks great.😊

[@sam-and-angela]

Thank you! 😊 We're really enjoying how much better it makes the place look and feel already! Just have to look at it with tunnel vision to hide the walls. LOL

[@joliecole5548]

Makes a big difference, absolutely love the door, and you two are a great team.

[@peggywilson9929]

Just think of the beautiful outcome of all those flustered moments ❣️❣️❣️

[@annarichardson8284]

These folks are smart and funny. Very funny. And very smart.

[@carolyncarlson3825]

I absolutely love the door I have looked at it and wished I could put it someplace in my house. I love it that you guys always go the extra mile to make sure everything is done correctly....... Hugs

[@sam-and-angela]

Thanks!! We really like it too, so happy Angela found it and at a good deal from Home Depot!

[@dottymarnoch2496]

I love it when you both work together and your a team, your boys help out when they are asked to, you guys never argue or fight...and this is Exciting to see you guys do this, keep it up your doing a good job...love you guys

[@sam-and-angela]

Aww, thank you!!

[@paulawilliams7030]

Sam you did a good job explaining what you were doing.

[@judyhoppe999]

Another great diy project done well. Entry door replacements are often times challenging due to rot of the opening or actual door frame as well as rot on the floor near the door as well. I've replaced several exterior doors and have never had one that didn't have a problem along the way to fix. Good job and I can't wait to see the finished entryway!

[@sam-and-angela]

Thanks 👍 This was our first full replacement. Quite the plethora of things going on, but thankfully our prior DIY projects helped see us through the newness. :)

[@mjp5129]

Sounds like a plan, on the door. Square and plumb. Also KZbin has great tutorials…lol. Thanks for the fun. 😀

[@moman0166]

Every year you are at your new location where you are moving your home buy a 50 lb of K31 or Rebel fescue grass seed and seed to a 100 lb to the acre every spring. You can drive anything over it once it gets established on the wettest days. The Rebel Fescue is a thin bladed Fescue which is very popular in the Midwest. It stands drouth and stays greener longer or probably green year round where you are at. My yard is all Rebel Fescue and looks like bluegrass. Buy a section of harrow and raise as high as you can get it then weld it into that position then drag it backwards to make one heck of a reseeding drag.

[@wolverine82nd]

I am a retired GC in residential construction of custom homes. I love seeing people go out of their comfort zone and take on projects they have never done. That is how I got started, KUDOS to you both great job and I know from experience that Mobile homes are a whole different ballgame. You did a great job and look forward to more videos. God bless

[@sam-and-angela]

Much appreciated, thanks!!

[@couthgaming]

This video was good enjoy watching this you can also use your multipurpose tool to cut your shims. So you don’t have to use your saw.

[@jb5959]

I've been watching your channel quite a while now. I've never left a message till now. I want to thank you for taking the time to create and share these videos with us! I thoroughly enjoy watching you and your family. And I am always encouraged whenever I spend time with you! 😉👍

[@sam-and-angela]

We really appreciate you taking the time to let us know and consider this such a big compliment. Thank you!!! We'll keep working to not let you down. :)

[@deanbarr5740]

Sangela, sounds fitting. You forgot to mention Angela, when completing the door with extra screws you said " we have two boys" I think Sam always says two feral boys. MobilehomeOlogist or not you did a very professional job. Its gonna be real nice when you're done.

[@barbarabell3366]

I love watching you guys, you are so cute the way you interact with each other. Keep.up the good videos. God bless.😊💗

[@mariom6616]

Very helpful. My mother just purchased a manufactured home in Florida. I can do this project with my brother and uncle. Thanks for sharing.

[@charlene5461]

"Winging it. Volume 12, page 37".....that"s the same book i've been reading for decades!😂 But now, have turned to page 37 and will be doing this same job this Saturday...and yep, calling for rain🤦 Thanks for sharing and I'm just gonna GO FOR IT!! (today is Feb. 1st, 2023) and taking FOREVER for this remodel of ours. We work on it as the money, mood, grandkids activities, holidays and a little laziness allows us!😂 Not a primary home but will be when we finish. And have learned "Nothing is ever easy"!! Especially a mobile home remodel!!🤦😂🤣

[@abbyjones9686]

My son just bought a single wide that should have been condemned...thanks for sharing how to install a new door. THAT will be the first project! You two are so cute!!!!

[@sam-and-angela]

Happy to help!

[@kimmybee12]

I just found your channel and I'm so happy I did! I'm a new subscriber. You two are a joy to watch. I love watching Renos and it's a pleasure to watch a couple that work well together and are so respectful of each other. I know what channel I'm binge watching this weekend 💕

[@sam-and-angela]

Awesome! Thank you so much for the kind words!

[@bryanpride7228]

A good life hack is using a car jack and a 2x4 stud will help lift the roof up to get your studs in if beating it doesn’t work.

[@djterry1218]

Sam, you are so smart that you make everything work. You are going to have a brand new house. You could have built one from scratch with your knowledge and determination! Well done! 👊🏼👏🏼👍🏼

[@davidwhite478]

Just bought a old mobile home and me and my wife are renovating it piece by piece so your videos are great info for us so big THANK YOU!

[@ladyangi100]

You both are enjoyable to watch, You work so well together. Angela you are amazing in good way. Sam you are great carpenter amazing with tools this why you need everyone you have. 😊😊😊

[@sam-and-angela]

Thank you so much!

[@KeatShadows]

Wow, you folks get lots of rain. Your area is beautiful. Thanks for the lesson on replacing the door.

[@melbocarol1960]

Love the way y’all work together. It makes a marriage strong.

[@sam-and-angela]

Thanks! We truly do enjoy working with each other on things.

[@bubbaramsey3732]

Good for y'all for not letting things intimidate you. Just jump in on it. That's what I have always done. Got it from my dad. It always works out even if you have to ask advice. God bless you and God bless America 🙏.

[@maggiesfarm7970]

I used to live in TN and I remember the rain storms and humidity so well. Now I live in Idaho where the humidity gets as low as 17 percent and the summer heat goes up to 115 degrees. I love Idaho but I've always loved TN too. My parents lived there for about 30 years. It's always been home to me. I love what you guys are doing!

[@lisapointer4350]

Beautiful quality door & fitting, so nice to see first class workmanship & attention to detail TFS

[@sam-and-angela]

Aww, thank you!!

[@nieshalynn2136]

I got a trailer home a month ago and am going to have to do this soon... I’m starting to think I’m in way over my head at 19 without a stable income (until as of recently) a lot of your videos are SUPER HELPFUL. I’m so thankful your channel exists 😭❤️

[@jeremybowen3097]

You can do it.

[@nursebecky2006]

that was a great video! I recently trimmed out my main entry door and realized how much I hated the metal frame that is there and wanted to THINK about replacing my door and frame. this gives me hope to do it myself for sure!

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

🇬🇧 Bespoke....lovely word, but I also love your 'fenangle'...ie. to arrange something after a lengthy period of negotiation. Thanks for the new word!💞🥰🤣. Door is indeed a delight....and added light is great!

[@kevintoepper2828]

Just picked up a standard residential door for my mobile home with no casing so I will definitely be winging it and have to add some mystery sauce but you definitely gave me some ideas and by the way you guys are just the cutest couple and work so well together best wishes and luck to you

[@lauragladden6835]

Y’all are so down to earth!, I enjoy following along.

[@sam-and-angela]

Thank you, we appreciate that! It can be difficult sometimes comparing our channel to others and wondering if we're doing the right "style" of videos. Glad you enjoy them as we make them! :)

[@BigDsHomestead]

I really wish I had your help. My home is 21 years old and my storm/front door has seen its better days. I called a few years ago and the mobile home dealer was asking nearly $400 for the combo door. Just recently, its $100 more. I can definitely get more bang for my buck by doing what you all did. My door is the same size as your original door, so I'll just duplicate what you all did here. I am a single father off 2 so it won't be easy, but I need to get it done before the really cold weather sets in. Congrats on your new future homesite. You all are an inspiration just like Doug and Ashley. GOD Bless.

[@genep.1005]

Very nice door ! Thanks for the smiles and laughs.

[@sam-and-angela]

Our pleasure!

[@anetzband1383]

That was really fun to watch, and as I sat there I kept looking at the main entry door on our mobile home, realizing that the previous owner must have done something similar. The big difference is that there had not been a door there at all, and he completely rebuilt that whole wall of the house. I'm appreciating the work he did a lot more as I see you laboring away. Thanks for sharing this.

[@kristineolver3268]

I'm sure by now you've already done the drywall wind the door but it think once you put up drywall the door will be touch and trim nicely... looks good! And I left a different comment asking about cost but you have now answered that so thank you!!

[@williamwilliam728]

Sweet couple, you can see the love and adoration they have for each other! And you do good honest work!

[@GMA4441]

I own a 1974 mobile home. My handyman is just completing a remodel of the west end of my home. Because I live in a very hot area I had him fasten 1x2's to the existing 2x4 framing to make 2x6 walls. The added wall insulation IMMEDIATELY cooled the interior temperature of the home. An amazing difference!

[@ianmcfee6038]

Enjoyed Y'alls chemistry...Y'all are blessed.

[@sam-and-angela]

Thank you! 🤗

[@davidreed9615]

Ok, that ending was awesome! The music is playing, the drone flies up to expose the view and birds do a fly-by! That's some great cinematography! Three exclamation marks in a row‽‽‽

[@xzenomorph1]

Yall are doing so much stuff just like me. I too build a second roof over an old trailer. I too put a res' door in. I too hang my tarps from the second roof. I had 5 big water damage spots. 3 down 2 to go. I saw other new mobile home installs having 2 cinder block supports under the door. I followed suit.

[@andreawheatley5528]

She’s a great Carpenter!

[@margaretgreenway2339]

Man I wish I had enlarged my door when I replaced it last year I absolutely love it you guys did an awesome job.... I will enlarge mine also when I replaced my wallboard for drywall

[@thesomewhathandyman9400]

'And they call that a header!' Ha! I was thinking the same thing!

[@johnnyobigcatdaddy]

You kids did a good job with that door, and i like all of your vids that I have seen so far! Thought you were very young to be whistling "Rain drops keep falling on my head", I was just shy of 7 years old when I first heard it on Armed Forces Radio Network, living with my Dad when he was stationed in Germany!

[@sam-and-angela]

Why thank you! :) I'm pretty sure I was singing that song as we were working in/out of the house with it raining. Just the whistling made it to the final cut though.

[@marystrenke6299]

One of my first grade memories was that song!!! And I'm 62☺️

[@johnnyobigcatdaddy]

[@mjp5129]

I love this kinda stuff. I used it do this stuff all the time. Loved taking something less than desirable and making it look nice. Nothing like that kick. My second husband and I flipped a couple houses when we first got together. Hard work, but such satisfaction. We remodeled his house, sold it, then a our first house and house we live in now. I’m 72 now, so time to turn in the hammer, unfortunately. Lots of kinda arguing, but not bad. You guys are doing great.

[@happyheart2414]

I actually set down and watched this video two times because it was just great to see that beautiful door go up and see you two work together the way you do just amazing. God bless you all.

[@sam-and-angela]

Aww, thank you!

[@denalucier952]

I am so happy for y’all. My hubby and I lived in a single wide when we first got married and had to spray paint X’s on the floor so we knew where not to step! I love that you are able to make these improvements on your own life situation. And the fact that you are doing it is freakin awesome!!!!

First time viewer from central Georgia. Where are you located? The views were lovely. Thanks for such a thorough job of explaining the steps you had to take to change out your mobile home front door and replacing walls and subfloor, too. Guess as DIYers you have experience. I enjoyed your relationship with each other and smiles. And you even planned ahead about the several rain storms you had to work through!! Looking forward to watching more of your renovations.

[@floief]

I love that new door!!! And, it has a window! Golly, I remember the first time we bought a pre-hung exterior door. I thought "oh, goody! Old one out new one in". Ahhhhh, not so fast cuz, you see, older homes are not level. It turned out alright in the end but not without a lot of shims. It was a job!! I was kinda worried when I saw all that rain you had. I thought for sure you'd have to board it up for the night (like we would...you know...to keep the critters out, like bear, cougar and, yep, skunks. They come up on the front porch at night to drink from my fountain.....the beggers!) But, you carried on in all that weather and the door is in!!! Yay!

[@sam-and-angela]

We were very happy to get it done in a day, that's for sure!

[@lindaschoolcraft8536]

You guys crack me up! I want you for my neighbors….lol. I would have lots of projects for Sam and Angela. The new door looks great. God’s blessings from SW VA.
