I know the trench for your electrical was a bear, but in the case of bad storms with your wires being underground you don’t have to worry about the wires on poles being beat up. Also, it keeps your beautiful view unencumbered. 🌳

[@terithaxton9803]

Angela's mudding may be unconventional, but it is excellent. Great job Angela.

[@teresawebb5374]

We bought our 1997 Belmont Mobile Home and moved in on our youngest daughter 10th birthday June 1996; we chose the floor plan, wall type, color and floor type which back then hardwood flooring was not an option. It is a 3 bedroom 2 full bath. I had our daughters (2 girls) full bath placed at the end of the hallway. That was 26 years ago. 2016 we gave it to our oldest daughter and we moved in my folks home after they passed. A lot has been done to it and still more. Hubby and I will be moving back in it soon. I love that mobile home. And yes our ceilings in the middle were 10 feet in height with the wall-ceiling was 8 ft. Trailer 16x80. One of the change we made was a tankless hot water heater and not once did our lights flickered or had any issues. Does my heart good to see y’all bring new life to your mobile home.

[@Hollybank5]

Behind the scenes are as entertaining and informative as the in front of the camera stuff too !! Angela - you need to embrace the compliments that come your way 💕. You are too humble, my dear ! You and Sam have powered through so many obstacles… you’re awesome 😎 !!! Getting closer every day to finally moving back into your home 🙏🙏 Sam - when that day comes : 1. Go out to eat and celebrate 🎊 2. Go sleep and do nuttin’ for at least five days !!! Sam … you haven’t lost YOUR “ dimples “ … 🤣 😘😘

[@donfillenworth5702]

good job on the drywall finish, Angela. You deserve the nickname Reno Mama!

[@diyfferent]

Angela, your compound job is looking excellent. :D

[@sam-and-angela]

Oh thank you!

[@RumMonkeyable]

The push is ON! Let's pray this hardworking family can move from their camper into their completely-renovated home. It's time. ❤️️👍👏👊💪

[@JonoGeeGee]

👊

[@jimo2627]

Amen 👍

[@judyporche9125]

Agree

[@sam-and-angela]

Aww, thank you so much. We're ready to be out of campertown for sure!!

[@donnakkasper6634]

I agree! In our Tennessee heat it must be horrible in the small trailer. We have a 31 foot travel trailer and in really hot summer it’s hard to keep cool.

[@glimmermomma4373]

Angela, I will have to say: YOU GOT IT GIRL!! Sam you are the bomb!! Before you know it, y’all will be in the house!!

[@brendakilberg5727]

No words, other than you folks are the most hard working people. It's simply amazing what you have accomplished since your mobile home arrived.

[@juliehale9491]

You can see Sam’s so proud of Angela and her mudding.

[@deskjockey237]

Thank you for sharing even the boring stuff. I love that your channel is true life. Awesome job on the drywall, young lady!!

[@ginaandino6561]

I just absolutely love your family. You and Angela are very wise and full of wisdom.

[@edwardsville80]

right there with you, Angela. Can never have enough toilet paper!! love the videos, keep em coming! blessings

[@pattymorrison9921]

As Sam was building the 'water closet', I was thinking the top would be a great place to put a mega package of TP. 🚽😏

[@masunshine2970]

You two have done an amazing job on your home.

[@Eaglecllctr]

Hello guys, my wife is a you tube junkie and stubbled upon you channel and told me about it. I watched about 15 of your videos and you hooked me! So much so that I just subscribed today. Watching video by video and can’t wait to see the finishing touches on all the your hard work. You both are awesome! 😊

[@loracook8698]

Y'all are such a cute family! When y'all talk you all make the same little facial expressions. Such a adorable and cute little family.

[@chuckwashburn7587]

You Both are Simply AMAZING! Love Your Humor and how well you Both Work together!! 🇺🇸😎🇺🇸👍

[@cliffblackburn8102]

Looks great! I'm a drywall finisher for 26 years great job 👍💯✌️🌞

[@robinbowman2464]

You're channel has been a blessing to me in so many, many ways. Thank you.

[@joharmon2148]

Angela, your the bomb with mudding, a job I hate beyond words!

[@auntmaryspals7978]

I still can't get over how well you work together. If my Mr. Man said that I had used the wrong tools for a job that I did, I would probably have had a smart aleck remark for him. You are good examples to follow. 😍😍

[@marciam6224]

My father taught me that if you want a reliable appliance, buy a Sears Kenmore. We've been in this house for almost 19 years and bought a new Kenmore stove and refrigerator when we moved in. Still going strong!! Also we bought a new washer, dryer and upright freezer (all Kenmore) a year before we moved here. All are still going strong. This is only the 2nd set of washer/dryer appliances we've bought since 1979. The other ones, the washer finally died but we gave our dryer to a friend of my brother and last I heard it was STILL working!! They too were Kenmore's and we'd had them since Feb. of 1979. The dishwasher that is in the house when we bought it is still working but when it dies, it will be replaced with a Kenmore as well. Also buy Craftsman tools...they never let you down either.

[@dianadavis9683]

when doing drywall finish,never ask how you got there, always ask did it work.

[@DavidRobinson-mx6cl]

Very nice job !! Love it !!!! Keep em coming !!!!!!! You will be in your home soon at the rate your going !!!!!-

[@sam-and-angela]

We sure hope so!

[@VeilZuTun]

Angela, you're doing a fantastic job. Sam was quite right in praising the work you've done. Angela removing the cupboard: 'we're going to be gentle with this'... takes a big prybar to it. I like the style. 🤣 I love the den the boys made behind the trash bags. Imagination is so important at that age. 😌 I'm always interested in seeing the difference between how things like electricity and water heating are set up compared to here in the UK. So a video like this is a lot of fun for me to watch. ❤ Stay safe, everyone. 🙏

[@plumtreefarm9828]

Ya’ll, we just demolished all of our downstairs. Living room, dining area, kitchen, powdered room and laundry room….We spent today pulling up hardwood floors…I hurt. BUT…it will be SO worth it in the end! Good job on your place friends!

[@kathrynmauro8673]

My daughter and her husband put open shelves over their fridge. They used thick wood that they stained and used black galvanized piping to fasten the shelves to the wall. Just thought I'd share. Looking great 👍

[@linnsoltwedel]

I would return the kobolt thingy!

[@AfterTheRains]

A slot in shelf above the water tank would be useful for towels.

[@jackiesaylor2487]

I love how you divided and conquered.

[@Calmedseas]

Girl after my own heart.....when he was building that closet, I was eyeing that space on top of it saying "TP storage!" I see it too!

[@deannamarie4149]

Thanks for another great premier! #loveoneanother

[@odettebaker3118]

You could put a removable slat shelf above waterheater, just above the metal pipe thing, to hold your towels, as it will keep them warm

[@lindaSee89]

Good place for TP. I keep mine on top of refrigerator in laundry room.

[@3msannie]

The details, so many nitpicky details! You guys are kickin' it! Hoping you're in the house soon and getting a break from that sun!

[@mrs.c9174]

Always happy to see when you have a new video up.

[@TexasGrandma2010]

Your bloopers today made lol. Your little guys are fun to watch. We had 6 of those feral boys. Great times.

[@sam-and-angela]

Glad you enjoyed it! I'm one of four ferals! (Sam)

[@carolmichael8092]

Angela, Well done! Love your method!

[@robertemmons4799]

I am just here for the bloopers! Actually it is great to see you guys are common folks doing their best. Alot of good tips coming from you guys.

[@juleswins3]

The Django Reinhardt style guitar during the WC build was pretty cool!😂

[@willtheman840]

We live in a small town in MO. We love love love our tankless. Hot water never runs out. Small space needed of course. No flickering or any problem Maybe living in town makes the difference. We support you. As for us, we will never ever go back to a tank water heater.

[@philipbrazis8732]

Ruth here, l like to have extra toilet paper an DC more on hand!! I like my buttery, that's what we called the pantry, don't know why, l believe in stocking up so if we can't get to town, l lived through the blizzards in the 1978 l believe it was, and in our area the 1969 flood, be prepared and of course being dairy farmers, not a huge amount of cows, like some, we have a generator that's run be a tractor. I am learning so much from you folks!! I will miss you folks the fixing up the inside of the house, watching gardening is not my thing, we garden but l don't enjoy watching it

[@crystalh1402]

Angela is a rockstar! You go momma!

[@kennethmclean3679]

Have you seen the solar array they made on Life Uncontained in Texas . They made a metal adjustable one to catch sun during various times of day and months the sun changes direction. Might be worth seeing once you expand your setup.

[@earlmurray9939]

I learn a lot from your vidoes. I am in the process of updating my cottage. From updating sub floor, new electricity, insulation, drywall and painting. By the way I am in Canada.

[@shirleythaxton306]

Oh guys I just love you all. And Angela you did a beautiful job on the drywall. God bless and stay safe my friends.

[@deborahcincotta3600]

when we bought our mobile home brand new in 2000 the one selling point was it had a door on the back corner of the home to be abel to access the hot water heater from outside

[@delladearest2511]

Hey, 👋. It may be too late, but we put our hot water tank attached outside the house into its own shed and it saved us so much room. Sharing the idea for another project 😉❣️

[@lindaschoolcraft8536]

I just love you guys. You make me happy. You interact with so much love shining. Enjoy your youth, time flies. God’s blessings from SW VA.

[@jonathangatto]

I love my tankless unit! It is awesome! And opened up an additional closet for us!

[@bradotto6841]

You guys are such an inspiration to me. I have a 1986 Marshfield home 16x70. The particle board flooring is crumbling in places so today I took a bedroom floor and sawed between the floor joists like you showed and bent them and they popped right out. Thank you so much for the DIY ideas! I was seriously dreading it, but after getting going it went so well. Now I'm on my way. I have OSB and insulation waiting in the shed. (I have redone many stick built homes but mobile homes are new to me.). I always look forward to your new episodes. Be well and thank you. Brad in Viroqua, WI.

[@lechatbotte.]

How wonderful to know you passed inspection. Getting closer every video. So excited to see it all.

[@deborahcincotta3600]

we right now have three packs of 12 rolls on hand and as we use one we replace it same with laundry soap and softener

[@wadetyler5056]

A minor suggestion if you haven’t done it already, build a frame and sheet rock it for the water heater closet door. That will blend in quite well when painted and cost almost nothing.

[@brendahogue5487]

Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on. May the Lord bless you and your family

[@carolannbolinger3795]

You two are busy with everything. Thanks for sharing all that you are doing

[@Tazz1947]

Angela, Ask Sam if he would put an opening access door in water heater closet so you can use it to put cleaning supplies in it.

[@minnesotagal507]

Love your family, whatever you do it’s worth watching, will be watching you thru my new journey of breast cancer, surgery, treatment. ❤️❤️❤️

[@walterchapman2884]

I appreciate the information on the tankless water heater I've often wondered how well it works! The other information is priceless also.

[@peggybickel3726]

Great job on the drywall taping and muddying and corners.

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

I am so happy it is all coming together for you! Love your channel!

[@empressche333]

I had a little chuckle at your statement about working on your 80’s mobile home. Some people see it as a waste of time and money, but I disagree. I did the same..my mobile home is a 1954 Stewart model. And I gutted most of it, furring out walls so I could reinsulate, new electrical, new plumbing, putting in hardwood floors, shiplap walls, and oak cabinetry. It looks and functions amazing! I had lots of naysayers giving me grief over my putting in money into such an old home. But it worked, and well. And it’s cozy and comfortable, and it’s what I had.

[@sam-and-angela]

Sounds wonderful! Usually those comments come from people of a different mindset than us. :)

[@janetkoball44]

Great video. I appreciate the little jobs as well as the big ones. Angela, you are a SMOOTH worker. Thanks from Central Oklahoma

[@hunterm.172]

That Klein Tool outlet tester is used by 95% of all home inspectors-reason being is for everything you listed plus it tells the voltage and if we find any issue we take a picture of it-the LCD screen is proof of what we are trying to tell the homeowner or potential homeowner-great tool!

[@sam-and-angela]

I definitely like it!!

[@donnakkasper6634]

We love watching you guys proceed! I’m praying you get your power turned on soon inside the house so you can be comfortable working. Do not know how you are standing this oppressive heat. We love you guys!

[@sam-and-angela]

Thank you so much!

[@jessicak4913]

Hard work pays off and y’all’s place is going to be so nice once done ✅

[@andrean9413]

My husband is an inspector and he’s used a Klein tester like that for years. He really likes them and they have been reliable for him.

[@ActionJackson2360]

An outside corner drywall trowel would make setting that style corner bead easier.

[@sharonromer6606]

Yes it is 100 times more fun to watch. Sam and Angela you do such good work❣ Drink lots of fluids and stay safe. You all look great with a tan 🌝

[@richardbosson8597]

Great jobs. In England your water closet is called an airing cupboard. You out towels etc above the water tank and they are nice and warm when you come to use them.

[@subaru4me]

Great shot of hooking up the outlet at about 15:00. That's cool that you were able to use scraps to build the water heater closet. How about bi-fold doors for that closet? You can take them off real easy if you need to get the heater out in the future.

[@terryhenderson424]

I'm watching with my individual project diy mind and feeling that the assorted projects amount to a pretty penny - On the other hand, you would have had to trench in power from the grid despite what structure you chose if you wanted to be on grid; equivalent with the water. Site set up would have likely been much the same if you brought in a newer, or brand new modular/ trailer. Having a stick home built, or building it yourself-ish would have been similar enough in terms of grading and foundation to be at least as expensive. While doing what seems like somewhat extensive interior remodeling, going at it the way you're doing it is somewhere between a draw and cheaper than the cost difference between a newer modular and using the home you've already done extensive structural and aesthetic upgrades on. Yes, your family is building a sleeper of a forever home capable of lasting for forever!

[@michael8208]

Totally Awesome job on the drywall Angela!!

[@troyyarbrough]

On your water heater situation, we ended up putting small point-of-use (tank style) water heaters in our home. We have a 8 gallon one in our master bathroom, another 8 gallon one in the "kids" bathroom, and a 2.5 gallon one under our kitchen sink. We never have to wait more than 1 or 2 seconds for hot water to come out of any faucet in our house. And we have lowered our water usage. We still have our 40 gallon 240 volt water heater in our utility/laundry room, but I blocked all hot water lines coming from it to the rest of the house. So, basically, all it is used for is the washing machine.

[@garysoykin2783]

You guys are great people I love your happiness you guys seem to be a lot happier than rich people living up on the hill enjoy you guys doing a great job

These days when I do a rewire gut job, I go with 20 amp wire, breakers and outlets. If I do a shop, I go with 20 amp too because of air compressors and wall ac units.

I enjoy watching drywall work.. just FYI. And it looks great Angela!

[@georgewadejr5474]

Been an electrician for 30 years. What I found with the clamp on the plug they are a little thin and bend eazy . Not that it bad . But here the deal. AFR LOL. When it pushed in the box the wires can loosen up a little . Push the plug, switch, GFCI.... into the box then pull it out enough to check, retighten.

[@sandraanddelgray3180]

I saw you and your son in a commercial of a portable garage, I got all excited, at first I thought that boy looks just like Sam and Angela's son, then I thought the dad looks like Sam, close-up shot told it wasn't look a likes but the real deal. so cool, great commercial, by the way.

[@sam-and-angela]

Really??? I didn't know we were on any commercials! Hmm

[@maggiesue4825]

Some decorative baskets on top of the water heater closet would hold your tp fine, and compliment the decor in your bathroom.

[@larryschmitt2513]

[@shellyhemond2737]

Looks anazing Sam and Angela, you are doing a great job with the mudding. I have no patience. 💚 looking great!!!

[@rubberdc]

Great choice in music accompaniment to Sam building the water closet.

[@troyyarbrough]

I bought a set of those WAGO Lever-nut connectors based on your recommendation a few videos back and I'm happy I did. I had to replace several outlets in our old doublewide mobile home and these connectors made the job so much easier. Thanks for the tip.

[@sam-and-angela]

Glad you like them! I'll never use anything else if I can help it. They're just so easy and very helpful to undo/redo connections.

[@doncc6080]

I put in a hybrid water heater. Heat pump setting it draws 1.5-1.7 amps my fridge is 24 years old but i do have a back-up you are so close to finishing up hope it is very soon and life will return to normal

[@louisesproul8493]

I have been alone in my 1995 16x76 Dutch since 2016. The 2nd time I went to shower in the master bathroom the hot water faucet would not turn on. So it's not been used since. In 2020 when the tp shortage started it took 3 months to be able to buy any. I had been without a vehicle from Dec 2018 to June 2020. As soon as I got my car and it was back in stock every time I went to Walmart I bought a HUGE package. I had it piledto the top of the shower with 3 9 roll packs on the floor of it. My grandmonkey Maddy came to live with me for the summer this year. She went in there and said, Nana, do you have enough toilet paper? I told her what happened and with only being able to use flushable wipes for 3 months, I WILL NEVER RUN OUT OF TOLIET PAPER AGAIN!!!

[@grannianni6229]
