Mobile Home Rim Joist Repair.

[@DennisMiscannon]

Without theese videos to go to I would never attempt to do what I'm going to on my home. Thanks Big time!!

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

You can do it!

[@tedpanes1865]

Thanks Drew. Your videos are the most informative I've found online.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Glad you like them!

I’ve been watching this mobile home repair and I think to myself “what’s taking them so long to repair these floors”? Then on tonight’s episode, I can see the floor joists are just completely rotten along with the perimeter sill. No wonder its taking so long to repair! You are doing a complete repair of the floors and beams! Thank god for men like you that really repair the damage. If I lived nearby, you would surely be the man I would call to fix my home. Thank you and all the repairman out there!

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Thank you and yes that’s why it’s taking so long everything is being replaced outside walls bands everywhere

[@SuwanneeHomestead]

I learn so much from watching these videos. The brace really makes sense.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

We are good at what we do when it comes to mobile homes.

[@thankyouvlog9333]

Master Drew what i see on this house is totaly rehab.. the work you did.. i would say from imposible to posible... you gave life back of this house.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

It will live again. Thanks 🙏

[@stoweby]

Truly appreciate this. I have to do this repair in our trailer soon

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

I have tons of videos to watch and learn from. If you’re going to do it use the best flooring so you never have to do it again. The flooring were using in this house is the best kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYjIpXyHnNN5fdU

[@suedavis4467]

Hi what size screws aRe you using to connect the joists to the outer wall? Thank you for your videos we are fixing our single wide

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Either 2 inch or 2 1/2 inch is my favorite

[@suedavis4467]

[@souldasherjoanie7517]

Watching this while sitting in line at the scrap yard.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Thank you my friend

[@pooddescrewch8718]

I have tinnitus so I cannot tell whats being said . Are they replacing just the damaged piece of the rim joist ? How is one run of rim joist butted to the other? Are they just toe nailed to each other ( seems unlikely ) or is there a short piece of 2x6 sandwiched to the Rim joists joining them lying between the two nearest floor joists ?

[@mgailfernandez]

I'm having to do this But right nowI am having to replace the forward trim that sits on the metal frame, so I can start replacing the trim joists and the floor joist coming towards the back.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

If it’s made of wood you can fix it

[@godisgreat8462]

Another awesome video

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Thank you 🙏

[@JesusIsaFlatEarther]

If just on floor joist end is bad for about a 1 or so, would that be ok to just double up new floor joists to the new section of rim joist? I'd hate to have to tear up more floor to get a more secure attachment for the new floor joist.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Yes, I would probably just double up my floor Joyce that’s a good idea

[@randallharris3113]

I fix a lot of mobile homes . I live in West Virginia they are built fast on lines and there not built like stick built homes. People I fix there homes they will say why are they built this way. One they are weight restricted for being put on roads for delivery. So there design is for those reasons for one. The other is to get them built fast to send out to sale as fast built homes for people who rent home spaces so they can relocate them some were else if you want to. And are affordable then a lot of stick built homes. There good for there purpose.and all Homes stick built or these need repairs done over time. Nothing last forever.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

I agree

[@w8what575]

Do all mobile homes have screws with the weird rectangular bit head? I can’t find a bit that will fit it and all of them I’ve tried making myself won’t work for very long lol…

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

They sell them at any hardware store. They sell them at any Lowe’s or Home Depot. It’s called a square bit

[@JesusIsaFlatEarther]

I found a square bit in an assortment of bits I had. I was taking down kitchen cabinets and it only worked on a third of them, and I had to sawzall the rest.

[@larrybland007]

This looks just like my trailer. It’s completely trashed but it’s mine

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

And it can be repaired

[@raphaelszok8561]

Hope you are feeling great and not over doing it.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Trying

[@larrybland007]

My question is this, “Can the walls be reinforced to support a heavier roof?

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

The roof will carry more then what I do. So no. You might want to make sure the walls are saported

[@MalleusDei275]

This is what it's about...

[@MalleusDei275]

It's what I refer to as the Green Acre's phase of the project.....

[@Onry1]

I've never seen 2X4 floor joist's! Mine are 2X6's and run length wise, big PIA...

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

If they run lengthwise how do they support the outside edge

[@Onry1]

There are metal outriggers attached to the frame that hold (did hold) out side walls. They've started sagging and now my outside walls are dropping lower then the center of the floor...

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

You can fix that. You have the same thing as this 1. Except for the two by fours. You have 2x6 but yours are worse you need to build walls under your out side walls

[@Onry1]

Exactly! To provide support to the outside walls.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

I’ll will make a video just for u tomorrow. Around noon tomorrow I will post your video. I will explain what to do. Share me on your Facebook help me get views. There are a lot of people that need this same info. I will call the vide mobile home wall support and under pinning all in 1.

[@thankswillie]

here in ct. probably only reason to rebuild that mess,,because your not allowed to replace?,,,just a guess

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Could not be removed and put any where else. So they only gave $20,000 for the house and property. So that’s a deal

[@thankswillie]

@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair nice

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

They got a good deal on it so it’s well worth remodeling
