Laying the First Panels - Metal Roof Install - Salvaged Mobile Home Rebuild

[@robertbuckley9303]

I just want to say that I am so flabbergasted by the agility, strength, and sense of balance that both Doug and Ashley bring to this work. As an old man with arthritis, it's amazing to watch Doug climb a ladder carrying a metal roofing sheet, walk nimbly across a roof stepping only on secure spots, and then drop into a full squat while reaching across to put in a screw several feet away. If there were a DIY Olympics, you two would be serious contenders for the gold!

[@rikkuskiss1]

Suggestion, maybe you could pull the bus close to the trailer and put all your prepped sheets on top, then just lift them up on the roof from there instead of climbing up and down the ladder.

[@19Photographer76]

I used to call that 'training'.

[@Roadnottaken27]

Doug and Ashley please don't change a thing. I like you just the way you are. You don't need fancy clothes or hair.

[@damogranheart5521]

The hat and long sleeved shirt is to prevent sun damage to their skin. I garden a lot. I wear a hat, gloves, jeans, and long sleeved shirts. I work in the morning from 6 to 10 am. Afternoons from 2:30 - 3 pm till I can't see! I take breaks for heat during the day. And sometimes, a change in gear can lift your spirits! Have a really good day😊

[@meredithchapman2009]

They both are very fair skinned and the Florida summer sun is no joke. I got a really bad sunburn as a kid one summer. It was lobster red in color. I don’t do the long sleeve or hat bit, hats are horrible for me. They keep to much heat in.

[@Ann10999]

I totally agree 👍🏻😊

[@donnabuckner2787]

I completely agree. Don’t change a thing.

[@judyzwemke9305]

Bye Maverick! Hope you had a fun day exploring the yard & playimg with the cat!

[@kellywilliams5112]

I can't wait to see the paint color, I'm hoping for some color.... I still remember the little red trailer.. lol

[@galady8632]

Doug = "Professional ". Ashley = "Yeah". That was the moment I sprayed hot tea across my tablet and the kitchen island. That was awesome! I do appreciate unexpected humor. The timing was perfect! It was so good Ashley included it twice. The mobile home is looking so much better. A black roof in the south is far from ideal. Plus it's difficult to do any work on the roof because of the extra heat. A white roof would quickly start showing debris from trees, wind, birds, etc. The gray roof was the best decision. I admit I am a bit anxious to see the exterior finished and painted. It will be the vesy best new, 40yr old mobile home on the planet. I remain in awe of all the skills and knowledge Ashley and Doug have. Their videos are always entertaining and informative.

[@wescos25]

That is the best investment you could have made. Installed like a Pro!!!

[@tiredandretired]

Carrying up the roof panels up the ladder and walking them down the length if the trailer looks so scary to me! Your strength and balance are amazing, Doug!

[@theREmissionary]

Love Ashley's comparison of the roof sides: "ewww"....."ahhhh" Yup, lady of few words, very succinct. LOL

[@RobertasArtisticAdventures]

I love that you read comments that disagree with how you do things and then you come back and show and explain the reason why you do things the way you do. I appreciate your willingness to teach what you know and what you've learned. Loving the progress and watching your family working together to meet goals. Your love and support for one another is evident every day! God bless your family and your properties!

[@bakednoodle2732]

It's looking so good! So glad you guys are breathing new life in the old mobile home!

[@tiredandretired]

The different angles you do while filming makes watching the video enjoyable. The roof looks so nice and clean! Getting closer to being done!

[@joannbirdsong583]

The roof is already looking good. I’ll just be glad when it’s done and you don’t have to walk around up there anymore. Makes me nervous. I’ll confess to fast forwarding a little bit here and there. 🙃🙂

[@cathybrewer8958]

Doug & Ashley, you did a professional job on that roof. So precise. Love the color choice also.

[@davidbridges8402]

I like the prideful professional attitude you have as a builder. I’d definitely buy your Mobil home rebuild.

[@andrewking2193]

Doug, as a previous metal roof salesman, you are correct on the overlap.

[@frank_III]

Doug, Ashley, your video work is about the best on KZbin. The added content like roof load rating info is also very professional. Sets your channel apart for sure.

[@rrelampago1]

I would love to live in something that Doug and Ashley have reconstructed.

[@theoldfarmerswife5915]

Looks great. I bet the neighbors are glad for all the work you’ve done. The property looks amazing

[@pitsnipe5559]

Doug, you are a master craftsman, don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise. 👍🏻

[@janhunt6214]

Your roof is looking so good. Don’t let the turkeys get you down about anything… clothing,the way you work,raise children… OMGoodness!

[@ethelryan257]

I am a fan of Doug's puns.

[@Beverly-e4z]

That little home is going to be better than it was brand new. Sometimes you can recycle reuse! Whoever lives there will be happy with it.

[@jepcozenith40]

Doug stars in my favorite musical. Nibbler on the Roof. 17:54

[@chalmadanes405]

I am so surprised the home was essentially condemned and you guys breathed new life in those old bones. Bravo👏 well done.

[@lindahall3252]

What a difference a new roof has made..you both saw potential where others didn't, win-win for Doug and Ashley 🎉

[@frostqueenbee9123]

You two are the dynamic duo in home renovation. Doug in his black turtle neck and Ashley with the lovely bangs also make you the cutest.

[@evelynbreton9652]

Doug you are doing a great job,more people construction workers should be like you,you take pride in your work.

[@sandraanddelgray3180]

Great choice of color, it will reflect the sunlight off the roof, and will help keep the house cooler. I love watching you and Ashley working together and figuring how to solve problems.

[@pamboone6921]

Hi Family, Oh my ever loving goodness!!! You could not have picked out a better color roof! It looks sooooooo good!! I love it! Fantastic work day guys! You all are so awesome to watch, so professional and perfectionist! Have a safe and Blessed day my friends ❤

[@Designs_Decor63]

I like them too

[@againstallodds0538]

I put this video in my favorite Playlist. Something about this video I loved so much was that it felt nostalgic and represented what a family should be. The team work, the kids playing in the background, the birds singing, the trees, the greenery around you and the fact that this is an investment that will be passed on to your kids... It's so magical to me. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Don't stop planning more investment properties in the future. Having a passive income is a great investment. Stay safe. Have a lovely day.

[@shelbyindianajones3226]

They are definitely #familygoals

[@beverlysearles61]

This is one of the best decisions you both have made! Such a beautiful improvement to this home!

[@ronmimnaugh7674]

You must truly be living life right. I have never done metal roofing on a day without wind gusting. That is really looking great

[@alansmith2693]

Predrilled is the way to go. Everything goes so much quicker and you don't have to worry about putting your bit through the tin when the screw tumbles.

[@karenalefounder4083]

I had to look twice no green fshirt 'what happened?' Haha. Roof looks damn good and I think metal roof is real tidy looking which is why I have in on my workshop. I have said before but Belle and Maverick are so well behaved they really are a credit to you both.

[@johnshaw4140]

The roof is looking great you guys , what a remarkable improvement over the previous roof , that place is looking super

[@MeeganMakes]

Ashley,”Ewww,Ahhh!”That was awesome. It really looks great! Your patience and detailed work is paying off.

[@Kensivren]

Setting a quitting time is good. For mental and physical health.

[@sharonrobledo136]

Love seeing ya’ll accomplish what you set out to do. Ya’ll never disappoint.

[@freddien7]

Good Job guys, maybe, as there is no wind maybe put a few sheets up on the roof instead of climbing up & down the ladder. Thank you Ashley, you work all day on the roof, go home feed youre family, get kids ready for bed, then when its time to settle for the night have to edit video. Soo thanks Ashley. x x

[@diyfferent]

Too heavy to lift two sheets at a time one-handed up the ladder. It's just better to bring up one at a time :)

[@Marilyn100w]

Only 10 minutes in and it’s looking fabulous. Take care in that Florida sunshine. 🌞

[@kaycox19]

Hey guys! You are lapping the CORRECT way! Fantastic progress, fantastic family, fantastic show!

[@Alberto-VO5]

I agree with Roadnottaken27. you are special and unique that's why a lot of people love you. Doug and Ashley you are very natural ❤❤❤

[@ninabooker2904]

I have watched you IMPROVE every home you have lived in or owned. It’s satisfying to see you put care and pride of ownership in every project from customizing the bus, refinishing a mirror for Belle’s room, to refurbishing this mobile home. You do it thoughtfully, patiently and beautifully. ❤ 👍 good job

[@JoyceDeFalco]

You do better work than a professional! Super job!

[@jonmac6133]

Not a disparaging remark, but Doug has an interesting choice in apparel. My first thought was either an orthodox priest or a beatnik. I’m leaning towards the latter where he sits around sipping homemade wine, listening to avant- guard jazz, and snapping his fingers in approval of spoken poetry. 😎 Cool, man!

[@51Lorie]

I think that may be a special shirt that protects against sunburn, just a guess on my part.

[@waterlooboy]

Both my wife and I really enjoyed this video and Doug’s sense of humor with the exhaust crack! 😂😂

[@oldmcdanelsfarm592]

I am thankful you aren't dealing with the wind. Great job, guys!

[@curtainsup9]

I am always amazed at how Doug can just walk up a ladder with a load and step off so effortlessly. pre drilling was a good idea.

[@heavenboundhomestead126]

I think you're going to have some jealous Neighbors. LOL but you might get some paid work from those around you. It looks so good. I think once you start the walls inside, it will take some of the waviness out that you don't like . Blessings to you and your family.

[@sam-and-angela]

That is a perfect install of the rib roofing. I also really like the color you chose -- not stark white, but still a cooler color for reflecting the heat. The only thing someone could question is a lack of stitch screws or butyl tape on the seams for the most extreme weather prevention measures, but you also still have the original roof underneath it and with your purlins spaced together as close as they are, it's really doubtful you'll ever have issues. I'm a typical over-killer on things. The roof is looking great! @17:45 That was the perfect Dad joke! Well played! Bravo!

[@diyfferent]

Thanks! Thanks for stopping by again. We're pretty much just going by the instructions and they say butyl tape on the seams is only required for under 3/12 roof pitch. I may have to remove a roof panel or two when I install the plumbing vents. So it's probably going to work out in my favor to not make this roof too stuck together!

[@MarshaChalupa]

Doug you usually wear a green T-shirt but you’re smoking that dark long sleeve shirt. Sorry Ashley ,don’t worry this comes from a 70 year old lady. 😂😂😂 Love this channel for several years. Keep up the great work!

[@caroles5258]

That's what I was thinking too

[@lorettataylor9902]

Hey people Doug and Ashley are putting the metal down correctly 😊😊

[@choosekindness5677]

I really enjoy your channel. Great content 👍👍. Ashley showing the roof before and after... "Eww (then camera pans to new panels) Ahhh!" So cute 😊

[@kerryevans7413]

The roof is looking Great.Nice job Doug&Ashley

[@jacquicoder7160]

You sure got your exercise with climbing up the ladder with those metal sheets! You did a great job, it looks so good. We can really see the impact it is having on the appearance of the home. It was interesting to watch you place each sheet, especially the part around the pipe. Great teamwork again! 😊

[@douglasharlos4113]

I think you and Ashley are doing a wonderful job

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

As usual, it's going to look so good when it's finished!

[@auntiepam5649]

You take such care Doug in all the work you do, Ashley you are a perfect wife for Doug you two work as such a great team. ❤

[@deannamarie4149]

😊 that little voice in the background "bye" melts my heart. #untilnexttimetakecare

[@cindystephens9230]

Beautiful transformation. Love the way you saved the old roof and so much work.

[@oldgloryhillfarmturtlewoma9132]

You two chose the perfect color: Black or dark colors absorbs the heat, white reflects the heat but looks messy quickly. Gray is still light enough to reflect and will look nice in the long run. Y’all always make great decisions 😊

[@ritarevell7195]

This is looking really good. I shared this particular video with a neighbor, who I believe needs a roof over. Your puns are punny, Doug. "This is going to be exhausting," referring to the exhaust pipe. Smh.

[@NanaMom104A]

Wow! I cannot believe how amazing the roof is looking. This old mobile home will look new and what's more it will be a custom design when you two get done with it. I am excited to see it.

[@davidsmith6001]

Glad I have been installing it the correct way all this time lol. So many people won't read instructions and rather believe youtube on how to do it wrong. There are a few that do it correct like yourselves. Thanks for sharing.

[@joeclark9042]

Well Doug I got to say I think you and me are the only one who pre-drilled our roof sheets that's the best way to go brother just keep it up that's good looks good you should measure from way down to the other end to see if you can keep them straight

[@damogranheart5521]

Another KZbinr in Canada did it that way about a year and a half, maybe two years ago. "The Outsider" and his father built a family cabin that is Most Excellent ♥️ He also has pop-up cabin plans for a mini-cabin. So worth a good look!

[@susanmyers6375]

Roof will look 100 % better for sure. 👏

[@TennValleyGal]

I'm worn out from going up and down the ladder with Doug. The roof is looking great.

[@kindasorta3825]

What a great team you are! I just love watching you. Been with you since Maverick was an infant and it's been a wonderful ride. Thanks so much for sharing your lives with us. Hugs to all!

[@Mari-B]

Almost half way done! That color is so nice. 👍🏼🙂

[@02271953me]

That dilapidated old mobile home is slowly looking so nice - step by step - and lots of fun to see it come together. Your work is quite an inspiration! Thank you for sharing ❤

[@barbaracarlson1331]

What a great difference you are making! Looking so good!!

[@jennah6673]

Ashley, I liked your comment about how much better the new roof looks than the old. " Ewww. Ahhh." I had just been thinking how great it looks!

[@paulmoy9736]

Wow !!...The roof is looking amazing.......The panels make such a difference.....Great job guys !! You two make an awesome team.

[@doloresbingham7956]

[@christinewebb7947]

Going to look great when it’s finished, well done xx

[@leahr.2620]

The roof is looking Good! Best not to work late, when you get tire after a long day accidents are more likely to happen. I heard Maverick in the back round at the end, bye Maverick!

[@juliadonley5563]

I agree with you! I am so glad they both stopped before a misstep happened

[@pippaseaspirit4415]

That new roof makes such a big difference! The pale grey was a very good choice of colour.

[@mebhi2]

I showed this video to my roofer today… I’m even going with the same color. Thank you both for sharing!

[@kathleenroman9379]

The roof panels look really good! What a difference! Long day, but y’all got a lot done! Congratulations & TYTY for sharing! ❤️❤️🙏❤️❤️

It’s amazing how much those panels can stretch as you go. It is looking so good! Especially the screw lines 😍! Even professionals wouldn’t make that cut look as good as you did Doug! Keep up the progress! It’s gonna feel so good to have that covered! 🌲
