Raw Work Reclaiming the Land - Salvaged Mobile Home ReBuild

[@sharongriffith7505]

My husband, Lawrence, will be 80 years old May 28 and he still works hard around our home. Last summer he put down two rooms of new flooring and this winter he did our kitchen. Now he is at our daughters this month helping renovate her bathroom. I call him the Energizer Bunny. I do believe Doug is one also!!!

[@LeavittLeavitt]

Just a mention. I love love Ashley 's bangs. 😊

I agree. The bangs are very becoming.

Doug, you and Ashley are doing such a great job on the mobile home and yard. Y'all work together so well, a great team. Ashley, the bangs make you look so much younger. I love them. Y'all have a wonderful family. I have watched Y'all for about 5 or 6 years, and I still looked forward to your videos coming out. I can't wait to see what you do with the inside of the mobile home. Take care.

Most Excellent on Cleanup and the all-important Family Time! My children and I became quite accomplished in brush clearing.

[@richardjones5255]

For a long time it appeared that no matter how hard a fast you worked, the pile was never going to reduce, then suddenly you were down to the rotten mess at the bottom of the pile. All I can say is that I envy you the energy you can bring to all these tasks to get work done, well done.

[@SDCourage27]

Love that Belle loves the critters. FL is definitely the place to be. Kamp Kenan and Wild Kyle (also from MI) are two FB pages that come to mind that are adventurous that I enjoy - she might as well. I was an Earth Science Major and was an inquisitive/active kid. Definitely helped my parents fix up houses in Detroit (worked for Crock Dill pickles from the polish Deli at the end of the road). Y’all need a snow shovel for debris. 🙌

[@lifescomplacencies5220]

Ashley’s hair looks nice.

[@kgonzalez5641]

I looked it up and Belle was right! It IS an eastern glass lizard! She's like a walking critter encyclopedia! She's so awesome. 🎉

Bell looks so happy holding that lizard.

[@SewingAlchemy]

I have been through quite a few power washers, they vary quite a bit by the type you buy. When it comes to electric, I really don't have anything nice to say, they get really hot. I had 2 electric ones they would overheat after about 10 minutes and shut down. Both of those ended up getting cracks where you attach the hose. The one I have now works like a dream, it uses regular gas, and has brass fittings. It is loud, but it is very powerful, and has really good pressure, I think it is a Husky. I sprayed a rug last year, and used the tip with the strongest pressure, it actually cut the rug in half! Anyway I hope that helps. On other topics, Ashley you look really nice with bangs! I love that you have raised your kids as you have, they appreciate things, and they are very respectful. It is a rare thing these days to see kids out looking for bugs, helping their parents. I have been watching for a very long time, and I just wanted to say that I think you and Ashley have a great work ethic, and you are one heck of a builder! I really enjoy watching thanks for all of the great content.

[@tmjb00]

You’ve heard of the feats of Hercules; you could call this channel The Feats of Doug. I’m with Ashley when she said she didn’t know how you had the energy or strength to uproot that trampoline. 😮 👏 😊 Great work to you both! 🔥

[@hnycreek]

Wow, I developed a backache watching Doug with that dust pan! Hard work. The property is really shaping up. I see more kitties in this video too. Ashley, your hair cut is adorable!

[@jemreandeau3583]

It’s always fun to hang out with you guys, I love all the interesting creatures you find. Don’t forget to take a break from all the hard work. ❤

[@brendariddle2349]

You all had a hard job today!! I did the same thing around my house!! Well I didn’t do it but about. 5 adults 12 kids from my church came this morning and started cutting bushes, trees, weeds, etc. on my property & had it done in no time at all. The boys & girls worked really hard. I was so proud as I knew I couldn’t do it & had no one to do it for me. I will try to keep it up as good as I can, but I am Almost 76 years old. But I’ll try. You all did a good job. And to find a trampoline!! You all have found lots of toys and oh my goodness a legless lizard!! I didn’t know there was such a thing. LOL. Your daughter is VERY intelligent. I just love your videos. They are always so interesting. Doug your back must be killing you from scraping all that stuff off the trampoline. I would have been scared to death of what was underneath that thing!!! Until next time. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@marafarnham595]

Wow! Never know what you will find. Belle not afraid of the lizard 😅 looks good cleaning up! Love the bangs Ashley. Much love to everyone 🤗 ❤️ 😊

So much to say about this video! I am amazed at Doug’s strength and ability to stick to what could have been a frustrating task!

Belles face was so fascinated by the Eastern Glass Lizard. She might even be a famous Herpetologist or Enotomologist, or both.

[@mommamel7315]

That lizard was so cool, Belle was smoking so big when she was holding it. I can’t believe that trampoline was still good. I might have to get me some of that material.

[@lizhazelrig9442]

Repurpose the trampoline ring, it would make a good base for a patio area. Level it up, the metal would eventually sink into the ground and can be covered with gravel, pavers, etc. Put a few chairs and a fire pit on it. Your renters would have a great designated outside spot.

Ashley, your hair looks great! I have never seen or heard of a legless lizard but Belle sure knew what it was and wanted to take care of it. I wonder why anyone would bury a trampoline like that, hope you can make good use of it. I'm sure you have lots of recommendations for house cleaners and one will be just the right thing for your need. The property is looking better, your efforts are really paying off and that must feel good.

[@GrannySanny]

Belle reminds me of my daughter Alison. She is a very good artist and was always catching lizards, salamanders, snakes and bugs on our ten acres. She got a degree in Zoology and works doing environmental impact studies on wildlife in the desert. Your property is gorgeous and you just keep making it better.

Bella is exactly right! It IS an eastern glass lizard. Quite an intellect, that girl. Great job, Bella! My son is awesome at identifying just about any animal, bird, fish or insect. He’s got what they call a photographic memory. He’s VERY smart. I think Bella is going to be like that. God Bless you all. I love your channel and very interested in diy. Thanks for all your efforts and content. Bye, for now.

[@wallydwulat6931]

I've been enjoying your videos since you guys moved from Indiana. And now I love watching your videos from my present state. I usually watch you on my big screen TV so I don't comment unless I have my phone or on my computer. Doug, as far as the mobile home cleaning the outside walls goes, I would suggest spraying the walls with bleach & rinse with water. A lot of those house cleaners work pretty well, but as bad as the algae is on your house, I would use the bleach. Pressure washers work very well also. Even electric Pressure washers would work if you have a power station around since I know you don't have electricity at the mobile home. You've got a beautiful family. When you were digging out that trampoline I could feel it in my back, but then at 71yo, my days of working as hard as you do are over. Don't work too hard and hurt yourself. I'll be watching!

[@jepcozenith40]

On the pressure washer. Every diy homeowner should have one. All my tools are battery. Except a high amp recip saw, hammer drill, drill press, compound miter saw, table saw, router, and an angle grinder (I have battery ones as well but when you need the umph). I feel, just my opinion, you need a gas pressure washer. My ony gas tool is a pressure washer (and generator). I haven't found an electric/battery that delivers the psi. It's been a few years since I looked so there may be something out there now. If you don't need the psi you might be OK. But you always need more power.

That was a great find. Wouldn't be surprised if the legs are there buried near the trampoline. The pressure washer could be an easy clean for the house. Just noticed today that Maverick has really gotten taller. Belle blows my mind with her knowledge of insects and snakes and lizards. Take care and will see you soon.

[@Mandy-q6c]

Found “30 second Outdoor cleaner” worked great on a similar situation. Sprayed surface wet first, then applied, waited 5-10 minutes, had pressure wand on garden hose & most came off, this not instructions on container but friend told me this how he did it. Retreated hard areas. Mind you, mine was vinyl siding which is not recommended to use pressure washer on. Yeah I know a lot do but I have seen the problems that can come from using them.

[@nicksinclair2407]

[@dhoward5757]

My kingdom for a shovel😂 Loving the new hair cut Ashley, That lizard was incredibly cool. My go to cleaner is baking soda, vinegar and dawn, cuts through anything. Mix it in a bucket with water, dip your scrubbing broom into it, then scrub a dub dub, followed by a good rinse.
