Restored an Old Aluminum Trailer Window - Salvaged Mobile Home Rebuild

Daughter “ I’m not good at not breathing for long periods of time.” Dad. “…….” 😂😂😂 daughter has my sense of humor. 😂

[@anthonymessina2834]

I was going to comment on the exact same thing!!! She's so funny!!!! Belle has grown into a beautiful young woman. I remember when they lived in Indiana and they would go out metal detecting. Belle would be so excited to see what they would dig up next. And if she got bored with that, she would start looking for bugs!!!! She must have been 7 or 8 back then. Time flies.

[@joannbirdsong583]

Doug and Evie, please stay safe. You were very blessed that Helene did minimal damage, I am praying for the safety of you and your beautiful family this time as well. I will keep you in my prayers. Please stay safe.

[@eviefieseler1093]

Doug and Eevee have the winning combination of linear thinking, skill, patience, and focus that makes them unstoppable! I'm pretty sure I can see those qualities developing in both Belle and Maverick, as well. Beautiful to see.

Already commented but forgot to ask for prayers of protection from Hurricane Milton. It’s headed directly to Sarasota and I’m getting nervous. Both of us are seniors. Thank you in advance, guys.

Just found this channel 3 days ago. I’ve already gone through all the videos in this playlist. (Watched on double speed 😅) can’t wait for more videos on this house!

[@jamjar5716]

I have to admit that I was surprised that you were keeping the same window system. I thought that it just seemed too flimsy for Florida hurricanes. But then I realised that it had already survived many years of Florida weather already! Plus with your usual attention to detail and quality, that window isn't going anywhere!

[@sewlovelym7361]

Love, love, love, the progress and you two are magic when you work at these homes and outside clean ups.........so fun and fulfilling to see you working at it all. You work so well together and its fun to watch Belle pitching in and learning how to do what you are doing as well. She has a lot of art talents and you both do as well. Your art at what you do is the same only a different venue. Excited to watch Mavrick grow up and see what he enjoys working on. Excellent parenting and watching them come into their own interests as they grow is so fulfilling. Blessings to all of you!

I’m OBSESSED with the entire look of that front of the mobile home. It’s got a real VIBE. ❤

Y’all get prepared for hurricane Milton coming your way! We have family and friends in Groveland, Deltona and the Villages and friends all over Florida! I will be praying yall stay safe! We’re in North Carolina and our State has been hit hard by hurricane Helene! Please pray for all who are suffering here! Thank you and we love watching your progress!

[@diyfferent]

Thank you, we're trying to get ready!

[@galady8632]

The bow windows are now better than when new. Obviously spray painting the frames black was a huge plus. Haning that bow window in a bedroom would be awesome! Such luxury. The 40 year old home is now better than when new and every completed task makes it even better. The floorplan is amazing. More focus on details should be the norm in construction but cookie-cutter designs are the easier and familiar. Eevee and Doug work so well together. They are my type of Power Couple!

[@gaybrinda113]

Evee, i love watching your program. I learn a lot. Now there is something i saw on KZbin i thought you and your man might be invested in watching. Wally Wallington is a retired carpenter who figured out how to use the fulcrum point principle to move all sorts of things by himself. It is likely the way pyramids and Stonehenge were built. He even moved a huge barn 200ft, nearly by himself. It's 3 parts and so interesting. If you have the time, you might be as amazed as i am.

[@janeysiegrist5061]

Thanks

[@GratefulGma10]

Interesting.

[@ElleDursten]

Looking good! The bow window is definitely a great feature! Happy to see you back at the mobile home! Hopefully no more storms! Thanks for sharing!

[@meepmopmoop1839]

I love the music you play while you're working.❤ It reminds me of old German "slap dance" songs.😆

[@samwright8599]

I love that you kept it. You really have shown that just throwing away these homes is not the way to go. ❤

[@jeanetteshawredden5643]

Glad you're getting this before the next hurricane, which is forecast to hit the Tampa area within a day or two

[@verahinnant8021]

We are told here in Tampa Bay Wednesday, but I have a feelingvit might be a littlexsooner. Rain coming in today and much rain for a couple of days.

[@builtontherockhomestead9390]

Fantastic team work as usual. Prayers for your family with Hurricane Milton coming in.

[@ChristopherHylton-pm5hv]

That turned out looking great. It amazes me sometimes what projects you all will take on, but I have to remember, this is mobile home number three to star on the channel. Practice makes perfect...

[@JW-es5un]

I’m fascinated that window had stayed during the hurricane WINDS. Even the glass didn’t break!!! Mother Nature has a mind of her own. Evee your choice of music is spot on with EVERY VIDEO just like it was written for Doug’s movement. You have a good ear & eye for editing this. GOD BLESS from West Central Indiana Farmland

[@janicelabuda8540]

Sending good thoughts and prayers that Hurricane Milton does not come your way. Stay safe Doug, Eevee and family. The bow window looks beautiful, too. 👍👍

[@51Lorie]

I'm so glad you were able to restore the window to it's former glory and it is beautiful! Great job!

[@mamareed810]

Your remodel of the trailer is fantastic! You 2 can visualize something that is run down & transform it to a beautiful & useful mobile home.

[@jazzman92478]

Put a couple of small decorative brackets underneath the bottom sill and it'll prevent future sagging of the window. Saves you having to do this again in the future.

[@diyfferent]

I was thinking of trying to add extra support in some way and that's a good idea. I'll keep it in mind.

[@joannbirdsong583]

I’m sure this is the best built mobile home in Florida. I’ve seen lots of them when I’ve been there, and some of them don’t look too good.

[@shelbyindianajones3226]

its better than a brand new one I would bet!

Better every day. I love the window too. Glad you guys could save it.

[@joycejones2979]

The window looks really good Doug. I noticed that Belle is almost as tall as you are! She and Maverick is growing so tall! E V is going to have lots of help in the future if not already reaching high places in and around the home. It’s okay E V, I’m shorter than my children too. My two sons are over six feet and my daughter isn’t a six footer but she’s still taller than I am. The window looks professionally finished as all of your jobs do!💕

[@diyfferent]

Belle is about 5'3" and Doug is about 5'9".

[@joycejones2979]

@@diyfferent she looks so tall on the videos. Well, she’s much taller than when I first started watching your family. She was a little girl and Maverick was months old. I have enjoyed my “journey” with you all so far and look forward to the next chapters.💕
