I like the vaulted ceiling

[@sam-and-angela]

We do too! That was one of the biggest reasons we got our home was the high ceilings throughout the whole place. We paid $2,500 for it about 5 years back and had it moved onto our land. It's been a constant DIY project ever since, but we still like it. :)

Yes get rid of the cabinet over the refrigerator! You will be glad you did.

Lazy Susans are awesome, that's all I know about that. Really enjoying your videos, great work!

[@sam-and-angela]

You and me both, Jeff! Thanks! -Sam

[@mamabearandcubs7701]

'Can't touch that wall'! ☺️😅😆 Just a thought, keep it as a cupboard, but remake it to fit the space to the ceiling and use doors matched to your kitchen cabinets, but paint them white gloss finish to continue the white of the fridge. It would all blend in as one, instead of the wood and white. It will brighten that whole space too. And easy to wipe the gloss paint clean. Another great video, thanks. Beth, UK xx

[@donnamarshall2959]

I like the idea getting rid of the cabinet, using decorative baskets. The lazy Susan is a greAt idea!!

Yay!!!! Ice cubes!!! LOL! Yes! Lazy Susan!!! You two are just to cute!

[@serge.crispino418]

Nice work guys !!! The overhead above the fridge does not match the rest of the cupboards so it should go in doing so there will be more air circulating around your fridge so it will certainly run more efficiently. Angela = a Gorgeous Gal you are a very lucky Man !!

[@Hollybank5]

Yay ! 😬. Congratulations 🎉🎈🎊🍾. Rough work , job well done !!!

YAY! No leaks, water to the fridge AND the happy floor dance :)(psssst...ask the hubs what he came home to when I went through the deck of our hay trailer) You guys need a lazy susan cabinet, it'll hold more than the one over the fridge and no climbing.

[@bnbhomestead2124]

Congratulations on getting the new floor down!

[@rosalynrn]

You are amaZING ..... SO BLESSED.........

[@Love4allpets]

I want to thank you very much! We live in a mobile home ourself just made our last payment on the land and trailer. We had a mayor plumbing leak from our hot water heater to under the house with the grey pipe but as you know they don’t see the grey pipe anymore. After spending 60 dollars on so call fixes it kept busting. I watched your video and saw we can do the red pipe connect to the grey pipe! 27 dollars later no more leak! We will be changing out the piping a little at a time thank you so much!

Hello great job guys yes remove the Cabent above the refrigerator and add shelves with basket that’s u can use more take car my friends Raymond here from New York ❤️👍✌️

[@lloydrmc]

I haven't checked lately, and there used to be a guy on ebay that made PEX ring crimper jaws to fit into big bolt cutters. He sold the whole assembly for not that much money. I just noticed you used Avantek floor underlayment. Bravo!

[@sandradiaz7651]

Hi Sam and Angela happy you have your floor done looking good how about shelves with baskets and definetly a lazy susan. See you on the next one.🙋

[@sonniecampbell1788]

Good job on your Pex clamp placement to get no leaks. I used the same clamp and ended up with a leak so I finished the job using 2 clamps instead of one.

[@darbla1961]

Enjoyed the video! 👍👍I would take the cabinet out above the refrigerator. The colour doesn’t match your new cabinets now. Sam’s right, nice baskets to sit on top of fridge would look nice. That’s only my opinion, you can take it or leave it! 😁😁 Can’t wait for the next video! I’m watching this latest video at 4:30 am! I was awake and I saw the notification, so couldn’t wait to watch later, had to watch now! 😁👍🇨🇦

I agree ☝️ the cabinet above the fridge can go. I have one also and never use it. It's dead space. Love ❤️ your videos. Looking forward to the next steps in your renovation.

[@janambrose4917]

I do use my cabinet above the fridge, but only for things I don't use that often. I keep track of what is in it by putting a note on the inside of the door to remind me of things I can't see. I have to use a step stool to get anything out. If it's easier to use baskets, get them instead. :)

Fantastic ! You guys are amazing ,

[@richverreault]

Just closed on a mobile home and I'm gonna have to redo all the piping as it's that same grey piping you have. I was told by a plumber in the area that there was a multi billion dollar lawsuit regarding that piping as its garbage and causes a lot of problems with leaks. Many videos online back that statement up. I saw a video where a 40 year veteran plumber out of texas said the shark bite fittings aren't his go to and cooper is his preferred method, then the crimping of pex pipe like you are doing. I'll be doing what you are doing as I'm not about to pay over 6k just to repipe the house nor am I about to lay under a mobile home for a month soldering copper pipe. Thank you for the helpful info 👍✌

[@sam-and-angela]

I hear many people rave about shark bite fittings, but I'm not a fan of them either. :) We have not had any issues with pex and the crimp fittings we've used, thankfully. Our oldest repairs here are 6 years old and still holding up fine (knock on wood). :)

[@richverreault]

@@sam-and-angela that's awesome and thank you for replying. It gives me more confidence stating that you have repairs 6 years old with no issues. It looks really easy too!

[@sherylynhilyard3402]

So glad u got your floor done good job

WHAT!! NO BLOOPERS!!! Glad y'all are done with the floor. Anxious to see the rest.

[@parkrantz9515]

TOTALY agree on the thing with avoiding working on the floor! Being a BIG man myself I find it troublesome to get down AND get UP!! Tidious!!

[@1611bloodbought]

Yay! Flooring completed! Still praying for your safety and progress. Take care. I vote for baskets, and more air flow for the life of fridge. And a lazy susan would be nice, I miss mine in my old house.

[@johanlaurasia]

Can't imagine anything that sucks more than having a fridge with water / ice capabilities, and NOT having it hooked up. Nice point to get to, all the plumbing in the kitchen is done as is the floor, so big milestone ! Congrats, and enjoy the cool fridge water !!

[@memaw5455]

I like the idea of getting rid of the cabinets over the fridge.

[@francescampbell4731]

You're both working hard on the kitchen and doing an awesome job! When my hubby did my kitchen, he stripped the entire room down to the rafters and updated the plumbing and electrical, new appliance and cabinets BUT it took 3 months! At first I enjoyed it because it meant no cooking but before I knew it, I was bored with eating out and wanted my kitchen back. Learned my lesson, now I hire someone to work with him so things can be finished in my lifetime. Can't wait to see your finished kitchen!

[@kflan3342]

I imagine the floor feels so much sturdier with all the extra bracing. Looks good!

[@diyfferent]

In case it helps anyone, Sharkbite makes a Pex to Polybutylene coupling which could be a good choice for difficult areas. The kitchen is looking great and that's awesome how you guys ran the new water lines. You two really plan it through and do a good job.

[@sam-and-angela]

Say Whaaaaaaaaatt????!!!!! 😳😱 Consider my mind blown on that one... I need to open my eyes more the next time I go to the stores! 😂😬 -Sam

[@stever4376]

Great job guys! I really enjoy watching your progress. Just a family figuring out what they need to do, and doing it. Fantastic.

[@kristiecarver6923]

It looks great so far!! U guys rock as always!! Lazy susans r wonderful n make it so much easier for getting those hard to reach items. It's definitely a great compromise. Y'all have a blessed day n I can't wait to see the next video!! 😊😊😊

[@indigoblue4791]

Wow, the plumbing job seemed a huge task!! All done on the floor in those areas though, very well done both. That a wonderful thing a safe, level floor is!! You are both doing so well, every day chipping away to get all the jobs done. I know how difficult it is to live with things upside down while jobs are being done. Especially the jobs that can take several weeks to complete. I'm living that way too along with you, and admire your patience. I'm with Angela on the lazy susan, they are fantastic for pans and large bowls. I also agree that some lovely wicker baskets would look stylish and be functional on top of the fridge. I have a mini, painted, pallet wood crate on top of mine for kitchen overflow! 😊💗

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

J.T.Farrier. I learned something on this video I use the same type flooring

[@BonnieLeah]

you guys have done an AMAZING job on your kitchen floor.. I cant wait to see how it looks when it is finished.. WOW, It's gonna be BEAUTIFUL... May God continue to bless you all..

[@scottfirman]

The one thing I learned when we remodeled our mobile home kitchen was any low spots in the floor will stand out like a sore thumb. It's best just to remove the entire subflooring. I got the great idea of using BONDO to fill in the low spots in our entryway. My brother loves working with the stuff. Well, he got carried away. Four cans later and a bunch of Sanding and BONDO dust everywhere , he got it level again. That's the LAST time I ever use filler to fix a floor. I will tear up every square inch of subfloor before I do that again. It's good to see you using insulation in the floor. I added new where ever I had to pull up subflooring. That includes the bathroom and hall as well as kitchen and living room. I swear by the shark teeth pipe fastener. We didnt replace any of the water lines. I did add in water shut off valves on everything. As you know, mobile homes do not have them. The dumbest thing ever.

[@sam-and-angela]

You're absolutely right! New floor all the way! That's the first I've heard of using Bondo on a floor, too! LOL When we replaced our water heater about two years ago I added several shut off valves -- can't have too many! Thanks -Sam

[@cindyinaz2357]

Looks great already!

Oh the hassle of working in confined spaces. I need to put in shutoff lines on all of my pipes. I don’t understand why manufacturers are so darn cheap. I mean I understand they do it to save money for them, but what a hassle for us. Just found your channel. Great job guys!

[@neaseycedergren8970]

Its nice to have the cupboard above the fridge, maybe a back shelf would accomodate both parties...

[@DLRyoung]

I’m so happy for you both. Get rid of that dead space above the ice box. Plus honestly it doesn’t even match the new ones, and... It’s good for the box to get air. Lazy Suzan would be good too. Depending on the cabinets. Good job 👍🏻

[@barbaracatalano6299]

Great job!! Glad it's done for you. Lazy Susan's make dead space in cabinets disappear so I agree with that. But also agree with no cabinet over fridge. It is so tight in there the air circulation is nil. Lol you are both right.

I’m new to your channel and I’m binging, trying to get caught up. I’m fascinated by building/remodeling shows and I really like yours. You’re both so entertaining! If you want to lose the cabinets over the fridge, why not put up shelves? You would have air flow and a bit of space for Knick-knacks, or whatever. Just an idea. Have fun, kids!

Love the video!! I done the same thing on pex but the one handed ratchet pex tool is so much better it frees up a hand in when under a house you will need it. Also on my trailer remodel i got rid of all the grey line cause mice loves it and its junk ... i placed it all under the belly band an left all grey lines above the belly band.. just done away with it. Thank you.

[@thatsmalltowngirl4]

Nice job! Plumbing looks so hard 20 years ago, and now with all the pex options and youtube now days anyone can do it. Angela I would have him install some more floating shelves and add some pretty baskets. Utilize the height you have there. And yes, lazy suzan cabinets!! I have two and use both!

[@JimDockrellWatertone]

What team work! Fantastic job. I am so happy for your success. As for the cabinet above the fridge. It's a hard to reach area to start with. Perhaps just a shelf, could be ventilated, and then decorations on it on , or baskets, or whatever. Something you don't mind pulling off the shelf to dust now and then and don't need often.
