Mobile Home Makeover | Single Wide Remodel | Fixer Upper On A Budget

Hello and welcome to Little Blessed Nest! In this video I'll be sharing what our 1988 single wide trailer looked like when we first purchased it in 2019, as well as some clips of the renovation process.
This is a 14x52 two bedroom, one bath home. With the help of our family it has been transformed into a home that we are so blessed and thankful for. I didn't have a KZbin channel at the time this footage was taken which is why more of the renovation process wasn't recorded. This is the only footage I have from that time.
Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy today's video.

Awesome ❤ More people need to learn to live within their means. You own it outright, no mortgage the next 30 years. You all have saved thousands and thousands of dollars.

[@cw9790]

Looks great! No rent , no mortgage! THAT'S the way to do it!

Home is where the heart is, and friendship is a guest. A book, a fire, a handclasp. A place where souls can rest. Your home is beautiful. God bless.

You, your dad, brother & family have done an awesome build. You had a vision and accomplished it. A home paid….No mortgage!!

Thank you so much!

[@suzannehicks5856]

I live in a single wide too. So thankful for my home and the blessings of ownership. Your little home is lovely and you are truly blessed to have family who were willing to help with getting your home repaired and arranged for a disabled husband!

[@juliestrait3263]

Well done! Four years ago I purchased a double wide, built in 1978. Learning a lot about how it wasn't maintained. Now have had all the water leaks repaired, back bathroom work being done now. Thank you for your inspiration. I cannot say I have no mortgage though. I love my location, and wasn't willing to give up on this. Thanks again

[@eleanorrkuntzi6422]

God Bless you, your husband and those you love for taking on such a project. It will be wonderful - no rent/no mortgage - hooray! We all face difficult times in this lousy economy. I will enjoy watching you on this journey to make this place a cozy, safe, beautiful nest.

[@terrystarnes4413]

What a wonderful daddy you have! He put so much time in helping you have a home & also gave you the land to put it on. I lost my daddy 40 years ago at the age of 50 & I will never get over the loss. You are so very blessed! Tell him you love him every chance you get! ❤️

[@LittleBlessedNest]

Thank you Terry! I'm so sorry you lost your dad, I know that must be awful. I'm very blessed and I appreciate so much all the help and hard work my family put into our home.

[@randallsmith2521]

This came out really well. My wife and I are thinking of doing something like this in the future. We're currently looking for some land in a more rural part of the state. Once the kids are grown and out of the house, we won't need anything approaching the size home we have now. Quite frankly with as much as it costs to do anything now regarding building a home, something like this is the way to go! You've taken the sort of mobile home that gives "trailer parks" a bad name and turned it into a beautiful home. I am quite impressed at what you were able to do with that single wide!

[@holldoll7764]

I love this idea! Everything is getting so expensive, we need to be able to lessen our monthly expenses! Thank you for sharing and inspiring me, I would love to do this in the future! And how blessed you are to have your sweet parents to help you that is truly a blessing!

It turned out gorgeous! Congratulations. Even what feels like insurmountable obstacles, can be overcome with time and patience. I live in a mobile home too, but mine is only 12 years old and in fantastic condition. I hated it when I first moved in, but I’ve made it mine and fixed it up and now I love it. Enjoy your new home.

Stephanie, I have just watched this video again and want you to know it is so motivating for me to see that, though you were very overwhelmed at the beginning of your renovation, once the ball got rolling it took off. I appreciate the fact that you shared with us the real emotions involved in that feeling of biting off more than you can chew, but with determination and faith you have come SO FAR!! You are my inspiration, Girl!

It looks great!!! I would love to be able to do this instead of buying a new mobile home but we are just not able to do this physically and my sweet daddy has alzheimers. He could do everything before he got sick😢. Such a blessing that your daddy has been able to help you. You will appreciate it so much more just knowing what he did. God Bless You Both 🙏 ❤

I feel you on this project. I'm going through the same thing right now. Well, mine turned into a complete gutting to the frame since water has pretty much rotted everything. I'm finally just entering the rebuild stage from a year of gutting and clearing. Best of luck to you!

[@LittleBlessedNest]

Oh no! Sorry you had to deal with all that water damage, I'm sure that was a pain. I'm happy to hear you are starting to rebuild, hopefully things will move along more quickly and smoothly for you now. Thanks for your support!

I'm doing the same. Total gut job, rewire, reinsulate, house wrap, new subfloors, new receptacles, slowly getting it done one room at a time

Habitat for humanity is a great organization. I always donate to them when I have something that they can use. I see people on tv and KZbin remodeling and they take a sledgehammer to the cabinets that are perfectly good, and could be a great addition to someone who is on a budget. It makes me feel sad that there is such little regard for something that could be reused and then ends up in the landfill.
