[@scottvickers2348]

Thanks for the video - what did you spay the mold/mildew with on the drywall? The white stuff?

[@-sensibleChris]

Why doesn't anyone use pressure treated plywood and subflooring in bathrooms?

[@Z_o_A_T_Master_of_None]

What year is the modular or mobile home?

[@ronmit-p5g]

you shouldn't of screwed this you should of made sweet love to it

[@ronmit-p5g]

im the plumber that put the drain on ... my wife and kids left me the day before and it was a friday so i wanted to get to MOE'S

“ if it doesn’t have any integrity and you leave it there, then neither do you..” well said!!

Needs that on his shirts

[@122willman]

haha yes i laughed at that part too.

[@fatboy54100]

Retired HVAC contractor I gotta say love your humor and how you keep it clean I would love to hear the true X-rated version plug how you can keep your cool is so hard to do when you see some of the shit you do. Anyway, I love the channel bro take care God bless. You are a great instructor. The average Joe and Joey need this channel

[@Those_Weirdos]

Yes, clean jokes like insulting women in the first 60 seconds. Super clean.

[@tayzonday]

These are so helpful to watch. Way more captivating than any Netflix show 💪

[@AdamS-lh2ug]

Here in MN, we do not use those crappy staples to secure wire. We use the white ones or if you want to be fancy you can get the clips that you can stack wires on, but they are not used, but our inspectors give us a little play, so I can get away with stacking 3 wires on top each other under a white strap. around here. We run our wire clean and neat and don’t need or use them. DIY’ers use them ans I recommend wago clips to DIY’ers as they are actually really friendly if you don’t know what you’re doing. Commercial, we don’t purchase them, but our lights will come with a different version of wagos that I don’t think I’ve ever seen on you tube.

YES

[@sesolar5854]

From a total DIYer Your analysis and explanations are superb. Walking us through every single step of making your wall foundation solid, parallel and plumb - excellent. No one holds their audiences attention better. Enjoying everything you oroduce. Thank you

[@JoshLloyd]

Your channel's videos are really helping me out as a new homeowner starting with DIY projects. I really appreciate that you go into details and don't abuse the viewer's time with any fluff or nonsense.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

no worries. not gonna sell food or website development on this channel. Cheers!

[@poolatka]

this is my favorite Homerenovision video.... its like a guy we love and adore had one day where he woke up extremely hungover and continued to deliver high-quality infotainment for the masses.

[@Boomercon3000]

I have an INSANE bathroom reno happening….all because we needed to change a toilet! Your mending of the floor just gave me the solution to a problem that has had me stalled for almost a year!!! Thank you!!!

[@SQTierHog]

Thanks for all the money saving advice you've given throughout the years! I've subbed for quite a while, however, decided to 'join', time to give back a little.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Wow! You didn't have to do that. Cheers my friend! Welcome to the DIY Crew

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Check back next Thursday to watch me rebuild this entire bathroom! Cheers

[@rubenlopez3222]

Thanks for the reply,

[@Dirtyharry70585]

Belt sandpaper faster and smoother than that block. Then dry fit and mark the fittings to pre glue them the to right position

[@KelikakuCoutin]

I'm going to do this to my bathroom; thanks! I have a water heater closet on the other side of my shower/tub, that I want to consolidate into the bathroom. I was going to remove the tank water heater and replace it with a tankless. So I can make the closet less than half the size, then come in from the other side with a project similar to what you're doing. The tankless is so much smaller than my old style tank water heater. I want to put in a larger tub; also the vanity is built for someone who's about four feet tall as well. So I'd like to put the sink in about a foot higher and then the larger tub. I've already replaced the old kiddie toilet with an ADA compliant "throne" and it's incredible how great it is now. I'd like to tile everything in with a classic tile bathroom, maybe even a ceramic wall heating unit (for drying off after a bath or shower) would be nice too. I want a nice big tub that I can fit into and completely submerge into. I want to also get rid of the mono-handle mixer unit and replace that with an old style, two-handle, with separate hot and cold valves. My vanity has that too, and I dislike that very much. I want two handles, one hot and one cold with a mixer in between. Thanks again for this project recording, it's really got me inspired, your situation in this job site is so similar to my situation - a 1970s 1x3 modular mobile-style bathroom.

[@leanneb6622]

@homerenovisiondiy My sister just had a glass shower wall shatter. Do you know best place to get replacement glass in Ottawa and surrounding area?

[@suecoady8017]

I am a 73 yr old lady. Been doing this kind of stuff since I was 21. 100 yr old houses to my current IN FLORIDA. This house is 40 yrs old. Been here 21 yrs. Built on a slab. Currently on my LAST project. Ok, last big project. I started a whole bath project 3 yrs ago. Came apart just like yours. The outside tiled wall of the shower, 6 feet wide, was built on lathe. Cinderblock, lathe, 3/8 wallboard, and finally thinset, and I do mean thin and tile. Welcome to Florida. The home of the quick build, Fold business, move to next town.. Oh, i forgot, the floor tile was set flat with the drain raised above. Had to broom the water to the drain after showering. I am going to stop now. What I have taught my girls, is if you don't have time to do it right, when are going to have time to do it over!

[@TheFizz263]

Love that bit of wisdom.

[@slappy2825]

At the 15:25 mark... great example of how the unexpected discoveries in a remodel almost always require improvisation, if not re-thinking the entire plan. A lot of home improvement videos are just too perfect, no surprises, nothing ever goes wrong. After five home renovations, that's certainly not been my reality. Showing your thought process is very much appreciated.

[@johndudash2579]

Always impressed with your common sense, do it right, clear instructive,informative quality of your workmanship. And to teach at the same time. You are a genius in my world! Thanks

[@paultrigger3798]

This summarizes nearly every single home project I end up working o. Always stumble across something stupid or lazy from previous work and ends up taking 2x-3x long as it should

[@tamjam1552]

So true

[@jasonbay13]

i'm an electrician, but i was asked to repair a bathroom floor by someone i regularly do computer work for. i reluctantly agreed, i cut the spongey section of the floor and ripped it up. what i found i couldnt believe. the bathroom was on the outside corner of the house and the floor was spongey away from the toilet. when i ripped up the floor i found the floor joist to be disintegrated almost 2ft from the outside wall, pulled the bottom half of the wall off to find the wall studs rotted almost 2ft up also. nothing of substance besides dirt and roots where there should be load bearing framing holding the load bearing walls up and connecting the floor joist that was no more. i pulled back the insulation and i was seeing the neighbors block building (7"away from the house). noticing the extreme water damage i went outside and found the problem was the neighbors building gutters hadnt been cleaned in ~30 years. every drop of water from the large building and the house roof was going into the load bearing wall. even worse is that the bathroom was remodeled less than 10 years prior and new wood was installed under the toilet, screwed into the rotting joist and called good enough without ever finding out why it was all rotted away, to continue rotting away. not being bonded and insured i called it quits, fortunately still getting paid for the demo work.

[@bubashalom8274]

You're all right man; your the best guy I've ever seen, so true, and spot on! I really appreciate your work, and all the tips you give us, and I have learned a lot from you because you care for us out here. Thanks man, your all right. Thank you very much brother!

[@cashflo522]

During the tear out, it sure looks like all the quality building practices in a mobile home. 2x3 studs, lots of staples, particle board floors, and sheetrock with wallpaper on the ceilings.

[@Xg8]

i thought that is what it was too

[@flickboogers9325]

Taught me how to use pliers properly! Love this dude!

[@lisafeck1537]

Me too. I hope I remember the next time I have them in hand.

[@maxxisrazr2012]

It's funny how I was in a similar situation as him 1 week ago. I was replacing a subfloor in a bedroom. It's helpful to show in videos the mistakes that can happen during a job. I appreciate that Jeff shows his mistakes and how to fix them aswell. Also, doing a job with limited tools always makes it more interesting.

[@pauls9263]

I have learnt something every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you for making these both interesting and informative.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Cheers!

[@Musix4me-Clarinet]

*What a gem of a find!* Thank you for what you've shared. I wish my current "contractor" would have watched this before attacking our bathroom. What a nightmare.

[@JHawk0124]

Thank you so much for your help with teaching me! You helped me (successfully) finish my whole basement on my old house. Without your videos, it wouldn’t have turned out nearly as well! I am getting ready to do some serious work on my 1902 Victorian home that will be my family’s forever home, and I’m back to learn more! Thanks sir!!

When cutting tubs make sure your blades are short to avoid other side wall damage.

[@kcampos1229]

Luv ur channel u really make it look easy wish i can hire u after these last workers messed up my floors n never came back ripped us off since then cant trust anyone in our area😅😅

[@peterpulpitpounder]

I've done a ton of this "stuff" over the years, and, in terms of morale, it's amazing what can be done in just one day to make things look a lot more encouraging. Yup, a few hours of "demo" and clean up gives you a whole different perspective on things. "Hey, this ain't so bad after all." Nice job.

[@Digidoc316]

That subfloor looks better than mine did before I remodeled it! Rotted 3/4" subfloor, floor joists rotted completely through, and cast iron drains repaired with duct tape! All new floor joists, 6/4" subfloor glued and screwed together, and glued & screwed to the floor joists. All new CPVC supply lines and all new PVC DWV lines.

[@-clif1987]

Sorry I laughed a lot here. Duct tape. Curious Why not pex? I’ve seen how brittle that piping gets with time I don’t mess with it.

[@Digidoc316]

​@-clif1987 didn't have the materials or tools on hand. Have since picked up PEX-B tools and supplies

[@robertshorthill6836]

I learned enough plumbing in trade school to know I didn't want to be a professional plumber, but as luck would have it, I had done more than my share. Only once did I see something that looked like this. It took a few days to sort it all out and gave me a few night sweats. I am now retired so let shit like this go to younger, more clever dudes. This is enough to make a believer outta any plumber.😊😊😊

[@oakeybird]

Love the Spray Foam. It will last forever. Nice job guys!

[@patmat.]

16:17 😅 I came to the exact same conclusion when I re-did my elders' bathroom last year. First demolition, then decide the layout.

[@jacobbuckley8232]

Gotta love mobile homes. Particle board and staples

[@karimonster]

I love it when the algorithm knows what my next mobile home project is, because I'm about to start work on the bathroom and I already know in my heart its going to be this awful beneath the shower. As always, the most timely video of all time!

[@michaelgonzalez8863]

I own a few mobile homes in Wilmington NC and I have done this before and have one that I will be doing in a couple months. Its reassuring to see I have followed the same fundamentals as you . Thanks for the time saving tips !

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

That is awesome!

[@SihAza]

When I built my addition in 1983, I used particle board for floor underlayment, over plywood. It was labelled for that use. What a mess. It falls apart with any water and floors always get wet. Once from a tube leak into the adjacent closet, another from spilled water on carpet, and another from a failed water heater T&P valve blew and splashed up. I suggest pressure-treated plywood for a bathroom floor. I did in my Atlanta house after replacing all the rotted 2x8 floor joists with pressure-treated joists.

[@ryanfinn5844]

I love watching your videos, they have helped my wife and I do our bathroom reno. Just about done tiling the shower, then moving on to floor tile. Your videos have given us the tools we need to do this ourselves. Thank you!!

[@martyvanord984]

LOL you reminded me of building a built in book case with top lighting and of building a level drop cieling over a pair of windows. In both cases level looked crooked. Awesome coverage of your topic as usual. It is never wrong if adjustment can be made!

[@stevenkeeffe]

I couldn't begin to tell you how many of your videos I've watched over the past few years... but I can certainly tell you I'm appreciative of seeing one of your bathroom projects go exactly as well as one of mine. Expect the worst, and when it happens, at least it wasn't unexpected. Edit for a p.s.: Welcome to the Southern States! Humidity and moisture, existence is pain!

[@abvincent12]

I had to have my entire house plumbing redone Dec 2023 - it was caste iron from 1962 and was crumbling. Jackhammers, ruined walls, floors, metal soot throughout and weeks later it is done. I have remodeled two homes and it was the worst project I have ever endured!

[@mcsmith7606]

It isn't a house; it is a mobile home. They were made with 1x 3 to make them light enough to tow on the highway. Codes for mobile homes changed after 1974. The staples are from the factory. You will see the drywall seams in the ceiling are mudded but have lattice covering the joint.

[@martunis101]

I could never have done my bathroom remodel without your guidance...and rock star tips like the one above with pliers.

[@JD9RX830]

Great video! I’m about to remodel one of my bathrooms. At 37:04, that pvc joint slid apart, you pushed it together but it slid apart again. I hope there’s enough there to hold.

[@trentvlak]

lol good catch

[@troybush5899]

@ 24:18 CODE (IRC 502.8) allows joists to be notched (cut out up to 1/4 of the width) on the ends where it is bearing ...For example, a 2x10 (~9.5 inches) can be a 2 x 7.25 on the ends.

[@VCR1111]

[@craigfourie3485]

Lots of excellent advice. Noticed the crawlspace was never vacuumed. All of that fungal-contaminated dust and debris.

[@osajohnson1957]

Hey, wonderful to feel like I'm helping my favorite uncle on a renovation. I've learned so much! Side note: you got PVC there in your vent and stack. CPVC is different.

[@threecatsdancing]

Hehehe, just from the intro I can say, been there, done that, and OMG had I actually sitting for 3 years on a moldy, rotted out floor joist that broke when we pulled out the toilet? Yes, yes I had been.

[@tjjohnson210]

I have a question for you. I get these kinds of jobs all the time. How do you deal with the customer? Do you bid a job and tell the customer it's contingent on the shape it's in? I often jokingly tell people I'm a repair specialist, repairing repairs previously done by an idiot. But it's so true!. Thanks for making these vids. They keep me aware and thinking. You have to be open to learning new things and I've learned a few things from you, thank you for that!

[@joeevett9007]

If you are reinforcing with an additional board you can use wood petrifier on the other beam as some added piece of mind.

[@cathiwim]

Dude that built that must have worked in a mobile home factory! My hubby taught me to do plumbing to code! Including reaming all the pieces that were going to be glued! We just finished the hall bath, including replacing the floor under the toilet! It’s solid as a rock now, better than when it was first built 35 years ago! Has new tile and bullnose and a fresh paint job. Shower dint need to be changed, only the floor, toilet, walls and sink.

[@darinjohnson3671]

Thanks for creating the content you do. I am going to be taking out my. Shower eventually and gutting the flooring and taking out the vanity and replacing the walk in Shower with a bathtub surround. I do not like Tile I just find it gets very hard to clean over the years. So making some small changes this year as this is a renovation I am doing in parts with my Bedroom. This year taking out a wall that had electrical and re-routing it and also looking at the electrical I have and seeing if it makes sense to re do my electrical or not. My bathroom the pot lights found a junction box, so will re re-doing the electrical and running a new line. So doing this in stages. Plus need to re-do my blinds in my room as well. I love. your content never learned very much as so hard to find someone I can trust, which you are one of the few. Keep it up with the great content. When I do the majority of my work I always have an electrician check my work I know who is licensed. Three things I do not play with is: Electrical, Water or Gas. I get professional to check it or in some cases do the entire job. If I can pull the lines and run new lines I will.

[@jamesharte2533]

Had to do my bathroom not long ago, same thing frame with 1x3 and some other crazy things. I'm slowly go through my home fixing everything but not before I watch ur videos lol

[@Mar-sz2ug]

I have a floor removal for you. Old enough it was the old small hexagonal white tile with the black ones for accents. Now, you would think like most normal tile floors its over a layer of mortar over a subfloor base of some sort right? Especially in a hundred plus year old house. I should have known something was up, no cracks anywhere. Started demo. NO Subfloor. 4" of concrete. The floor joists was tapered at the top and the concrete was 1.5" over and rest below. With boards holding that up. That was the first and only time i have ever seen that.

[@evergladesfl]

"If it doesn't have any integrity and you leave it there, neither do you." That is a quotable quote.

[@djtblizzle]

I really love your fun, easy going, non-egotistical approach to your craft. I’m no contractor by any means, but I could watch your videos all day and not feel stupid or threatened whatsoever. That says a lot about your character as well as your work. New sub here!

[@birdgang8890]

6:50 that is some amazing handy man work with that romex wire right there. In front of the plumbing along with running over studs instead of through them....

[@Johnrigsby]

Yep, carefully screwing near the plumbing. Im currently dealing with a nail that went partially into a ice maker water supply that broken off but plugged the hole in the supply. It eventually rusted through to a pinhole size stream that sprayed into the wall of my kitchen for who knows how long. Original damage about 20 years ago. Still dealing with whether to call a pro to fix the damage or do it my newbie self. Water restoration service was expensive. Yeah, probably the part I could have done myself renting some equipment.

[@als1668]

That bathroom now also functions as a bunker in case of a natural disaster 😂. Awesome content as usual, Jeff! This was more instructive than a trades class.❤

[@Dwayne-mb2uj]

You think that is funny but I has to demo a bathroom shower in Burbank Ca built in about 1950 by a tile and concrete man who was very proud of his work it took 10 trash cans of tile and mesh and concrete to get down to the studs .I think it could have withstood anything.

[@ScubaVix3n]

This appears to be exactly what I’m going through with my newly acquired 1979 mobile home. It wasn’t supposed to be this bad but I am also terrified to pull out the bathroom. Partly because I’m pretty sure it’s gonna look like that one. I’ve already replaced most of the waterlines and some of the subfloors. Due to mold and the crumbling issue. The bathroom is the next project now that I have a roof that doesn’t leak And trying to figure out how to do it while still being able to live in it, is a problem,due to it only having one bathroom.

[@ErinDeCicco]

New fear unlocked 😮same boat here, or should I say same ‘garden tub’? Ugh, already dreading it

[@missyndabrit]

My house was built in 1980. I'm pretty sure the plastic insert in our guest bath is original or close and this video illustrates all of my fears in one place. We hear water move when you step down on the plastic base, accompanied by the strong smell of mold as well.

[@hotoshideout2648]

In my manufactured home there its the same. Crown staples holding on 3/8" drywall. Janky ass 1/4 round at the bottom and they used 2 drywall batten strips to make ghetto corner molding. I'm replacing the rotting subfloor due to a water heater / A/C leak and we will see if the floor is held in with staples too.

[@michaelvongiersbach7726]

I'm replacing subfloor in a mobile home right now. I bought a "toe kick saw" from Harbor Freight. It cuts nearly flush against the wall/bottom plate, giving a nice clean no-gap install.

[@michaelvongiersbach7726]

Harbor freight tools are generally not high quality, but for a non professional it's a relatively inexpensive tool that will give quality results for the anal retentive.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Great tip!

[@davisbhec1088]

I would advise to check the solvent used for the supply line to the shower head. If that is CPVC, I believe the incorrect glue was used. The purple primer and clear solvent is used for the DWV PVC piping, but not for CPVC. CPVC uses a yellowish glue.

[@josephvanderwal3692]

CPVC also expands from hot water causing many leaks in buildings that used them for water lines.

[@bmmrrr]

have seen your videos since i built my cellar living area (10 yrs ago)with your help...glad to see you are still laughing

[@Tonpride5]

How do you handle replacing rotted subfloor beneath wall plates/studs? Especially, if continued into next room?

[@jeanjacques9462]

Thanks for going through this process. ❤

[@aartvarkgraphics]

That mobile's got the same ceiling mine does. I'm doing a model on it right now. This is incredibly informative.

[@hommefrancais]

Hey Jeff good to see you're still working down south. How do you avoid having your batts just being filled with humidity and losing all their R Value when the crawlspace is not encapsulated? Especially in Florida, I'm in Georgia and even in the winter the humidity stays trapped under my house. 1957 built and flipped with no sort of insulation at all under the house or the roof.

[@JagdtMirage]

Is this a re-upload ? I remember seeing this before all the way through the custom build & neon pink waterproofing... then the nice grey & white tile.

[@chubbinator35]

More like a re-edit, its annoying...

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

We put the entire project together for the folks who like to watch from beginning to end in one video. Cheers

Cheers Brad!

[@kendv4299]

Another great video. I like your sense of humour....even when things don't go smoothly. Like when the PVC vent pipe breaks (around an hour in) You say: "It's going to be one of those days" :) Hilarious.

[@robertrdell8898]

While I was a plumber's helper helping my brother the master plumber, I screwed up by running a screw into a pipe. He told me that you need to add a metal barrier on the stud to protect the plumbing inside the stud. One question, why not use titebond glue instead of construction glue?

[@jeffvera-jonessanabria5546]

@HoneRenoVisionDIY Jeff, love your videos! I got OCD’ed when I saw the romex get pinched behind that 2x near the water supply for the shower. Again love your videos- keep doing you -dude

[@mercurybird9711]

Love how the hard rockin' music started when the power tools came out!

[@Thatgirl1973]

How did you get roped in to remodeling a doublewide? Outside of DIYers (like myself) it's impossible to find. I'm currently renovating my own, and this is great to watch! ❤ The structural integrity of my place, thankfully, was built with standard stick-built materials. 2x4 framing, and most importantly, .75 plywood subfloors.

[@katieluv8422]

Depends on where you are at. Anytime you breakinto a wall in Chicago area they want a permit. Bathroom remodel requires permit in most cases because water and elec will move, plus wall cavity disturbed. Course every contractor tells the homeowner no permit is required.

[@cowboy930]

By the way thank you for putting out these videos I really appreciate I attempt to do the work myself cause I can't afford people fixing my stuff so a very big Thank you and may the good Lord bless you and you family.

[@JoshCarroll-fx2bh]

Hey Jeff! I feel like I'm crazy right now, did you upload this video before? I know I've seen this before, but KZbin is telling me you just uploaded this 5 days ago! I love your stuff man! You gave me the confidence to renovate my house!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

This is the longer version, we edit the entire project together for those that like to watch from beginning to end. Cheers!

[@derf_the_mule1405]

lack of experience with CPVC ehh... I've never seen white CPVC before. Rubber couplings with stainless steel clamps are available (even in Florida) to use on the PVC non-pressure vent pipe. That would have been the ideal application instead of breaking the line. Steel wool filled with foam seems like a good idea.

[@jeffreyhilliker9592]

I’m not in a mobile home and am in the middle of a remodel and under our tub was 1000 times worse 😢we are figuring it out and trying to get it structurally sound first now. Water is not fun to deal with.

[@LessonLearn-pe2go]

Well done Jeff!

[@markshields9284]

[@cowboy930]

Well I know the feeling when I saw my floor looked like that I had a headache ,heartache and was overwhelmed until my friend offered to help me looking at that scene my memory back to life .

[@survivingthetimes]

I absolutely love DIY'ers and big box home improvement stores. Over half the work that I get is because someone watched a video 10 years ago and thought that they were tradesmen.

[@jtmcfarland3512]

Have you considered getting a reaming pen (aka deburring tool)? They’re cheap and handle the rough PVC edges much better than a utility knife.

[@BigSunday512]

Great video very informative. On those couplers I seen someone cut the ridge out the inside center of it then just slide it past put the pipe in place then slide it back up.

[@joeburner7120]

They make slip couplings. Slide it all the way down, line up pipes and slide up so it’s at center where 2 pipes meet, done!

[@mikegallegos7]

"It's a lot of work ...to do it right...to make it last". My 50l WH failed and I decided to replace it with a Rinnaii tankless WH. As I began to plan, one thing lead to the other: the existing space was shared with a WH and a water softener system too close to the HVAC. I won't be reusing that over crowded space in this lower level of a tri-level. I will extend a 5" long wall to 8" upon which I will hang the Rinnaii and a new water treatment/softener system and both will use the existing drain for condensate and available electric power. But, since new wall must extend to under floor joists, the drywall will have to be removed. So am removing all drywall, ceiling and walls and will install Trusscore. But now, I am struggling with, if I make ceiling and walls nice, but leave the concrete floor bare concrete, how is that going to look? One thing leads to the other as I continually relearn, you are NEVER done with construction until it is done with you. 😐

[@smittyjones8755]

Looking at the bottoms of your shoes reminds me of one of my big gripes about new athletic shoes. That cheap ass foam soles instead of using rubber, damn things wear out extremely fast and become slick as hell.

[@matjazkranjc3511]

Hahaha, when you move the wall on the right like that when putting a plywood in you know you are in the usa :) I had the same issue at my house. We have built it in 2017, the guy working on a sink in a shower also did not attached it properly and in 3 years I had 6m² of floor to replace. I had to replace the beams, fix the walls and all the floors. The mold just spread like crazy and I took the beams out with my hand, piece by piece! It took me 4 weeks to do it all properly. I never trust anyone again, ever! Thanks for an educational video :)

I recently had to do complete, repair sistering of my kitchen floor. This part of the house was built basically on the ground I assume it was a porch years ago and then it got enclosed, then sometime later a second floor was added as well, 14 X 10 is the size of it. My point is the insulation of the floor part. Now you are in a hotter place the here in PA, so maybe it is different here. I did not put any insulation in after I saw what had happened to the part where someone insulated before in two sections. It was full of all kinds of living creatures. I also saw on line that the insulation attracts mice and rodents since they will use it for nesting, even the fiberglass. The other reason was that it was suggested to have some kind of air flow under there to keep it from rotting. So when you put insulation in the floor I wondered about that, but maybe with a crawl space it works out OK.. Also in my case I used pressure treated lumber so I figured any glue would not hold since they were still pretty wet and the old parts were very dirty and some partly rotted. I did the best i could without having have a professional crew come and life the back part of the house and put in a real crawl space or basement. Of the people I did get to look at it before I did what I did, pretty much no one would work on it unless it had a crawl space. One that gave me a estimate something did not seam right about them and the price so I opened up myself. Took about 120 hours but the floor is more solid then ever, and even and partly supported by 2 solid cement blocks on every joist then, then the former only hanging on the old rim joist. There was no rim plate and no wall or supports on the 14 foot span other then a cement block I found on one side around the middle and the ends had a pile of cement under them, so what I did was much better then it ever was and I think also relived part of the weight of the first floor on those outer 14 foot rim joist.
