Tearing Everything Out - Mobile Home Rebuild

[@da1shark]

Ashley is there every step of the way for you. Filming, sweeping, handing you materials, and carrying out demo debris. Doug is shown in the videos but Ashley is always working too if not shown. So I wanted to give a shoutout to her.

[@darrinkotlinski2827]

I agree. Good job Ashley!!!!!

[@davepelfrey3958]

Yes, they make a great team.

[@nualarosth8448]

They work so well together, team work 😊

[@angelamalcomb1373]

Don’t forget, she also takes care of the kiddos

[@annateague2354]

She’s a getter done person, Doug is very lucky man to have such a wonderful woman by his side.

[@davidcarroll8533]

I can't speak for everyone, but I myself am very much enjoying the uptick in uploads. Seeing more videos is nice. You guys have a lot of projects, and I'm sure that a lot of people find them very interesting / entertaining, so everybody give them a thumbs up and tell your friends about their channel. Keep up the great work.

[@JB43186]

You’re not a family to shy away from hard work!!!

[@brendaunland4407]

This is what gives mobile homes a bad time. If people would repair damage as it occurs the home would last years. The same thing happens with any home. Really enjoy Doug and Ashley when they work. They actually show the job without a lot of yada yada to use time . Smart young couple.

[@keithwright2726]

Doug doesn't go 9 yards, he goes the whole football field!!! You guys are amazing at everything u do!!!!

[@MWilliamsVTGrrrl]

Your knowledgeable respect for electricity is good for viewers to see! Nice job securing the outdoor panel and removal of the interior one.

[@nimabevis4509]

My goodness. Doug, you are a MACHINE. And then you say you didn't get as much work done as planned. 🤣😂🤣😂 I'd be satisfied with HALF your energy. The home is already looking so much better. I bet walking across the floor is ten times more stable than it used to feel. Keep up the good work! ❤

[@jerrywoodlee2345]

The one thing I like about your videos is that you don't cut corners. Keep up the good work.

[@valentinat3250]

It is super satisfying to see you remove the old, rotted pieces and replace with new.

[@delstalopalmay]

Please buy yourself a 3' crowbar, it will make your life easier!! Save your back now for when your older!! Love watching your day My husband told me to write this. He is concerned for you❤❤❤❤😊

[@amalias8888]

I've been thinking the very same thing. Needs a longer handle for more leverage. One of those roof shingle removal shovels might be good too.

[@jimdelong949]

I subscribed to your channel over a year ago. I've been impressed, entertained, and educated. But I have to say you two have me hooked on the mobile home renovation. Seeing the renovation is like going on a new adventure of sorts. All the suspense and mystery Anxious to see where the next step will take you. What you will find. How you will get through each obstacle. ( I might be the only one thinking that 😊) Thanks for taking us along.

[@ethelryan257]

Electrician, here. I urge you to check the lock out each and every time. I've worked on jobsites where people either maliciously or inadvertently (?) pulled the lock and turned power back on.

[@lindaroyal8161]

Excellent advice.

[@rnggall9640]

So much less stressful to live off site! Who would have thought rebuilding a mobile home would be so fascinating! Coodos!

[@shelly937]

I love the fact that no matter what you are faced with, you always do the right thing.

[@ebony5766]

I absolutely love this series! Some people on YT call spackle and paint a "remodel" THIS is rebuild and remodel and I look forward to every episode! What do you think is worse: all the staples in the wood OR construction adhesive?

[@diyfferent]

Staples for sure!

[@annettearties8538]

I'm glad you guys stay encouraged. I know if you run into a problem, you'll come up with a solution. This is what makes your renovation interesting. You believe in restoring, replacing, and getting the job done correctly. 😊

[@amiedavis5257]

The chassis on that mobile home looks like its in pretty good shape. That's the most expensive part of a mobile home. That alone was worth rebuilding that trailer.

[@sandraanddelgray3180]

I know it's a lot harder doing it, but you make it look easy. It must be satisfying knowing that the end result of each phase is done properly. Your integrity is commendable.

[@5thdimension625]

I agree. They’re such hard working people and are chill about it all. Even when under pressure

[@sandrasherritt9708]

Doug. I’m not sure why there would be a “schedule “, that you are behind. Of course the work is much more difficult and time consuming than it seems to your viewers, but be encouraged, because YOU ARE MAGIC. And you don’t put out any crappy work. So it’s going to take longer than anticipated when you are coming from where you started with this EXTREMELY COMPLICATED PROJECT. I hope you are having a rewarding experience with all your hard work. It’s very interesting to watch and then you have sweet Ash by your side! Rejoice in your heart and be blessed! Camarillo Grammy!

[@peggynorton5145]

You are spoiling us with daily videos! I'm not complaining!!!

[@curtainsup9]

anyone planning to work on a mobile home should be watching this remodel.

[@heidik-lady8135]

This job is reminiscent of a friend who bought a little house on the tracks. When he started fixing things he found so much damage eventually while he (& his new bride) lived in it he replaced just about every piece of wood in it. He learned so much from that he could fix anything. Good thing you are young with skills. I'm sure that trailer is happy.

[@Commentleaver-c6x]

Sounds like it was on the wrong side of the tracks.

[@leslietinyhousebuilderwann3851]

You guys can do so much! If no one has told you they are proud of you, I will. It makes me happy to see a family working together to complete a goal. Way to go!!!!

[@dragonflyneb8212]

You two always work so hard, in the end it will be beautiful!

[@anniehawkins6321]

I really appreciate and like your videos, you are very thorough and make it look easy, I like the way you show us the problems too. Thank you and your wife for sharing your story

[@smarthome2660]

I admire you for going the extra mile and replacing all bad floor & wall. You get a better project when you start off with a good foundation.

[@SusieQ450]

This is my favorite channel. I look forward to each new episode! I learn so much from your tutorials on how you’re doing things.

[@therealcraigsutton2740]

Little steps to a big finish!! Looking good Mr Doug & Ms Ashley!!

[@janpatton6291]

Love seeing your videos almost every day❣️. I know it is a lot of work on your part. Thank you for sharing your journey with us!

[@rachelsweeney1125]

You are spoiling us with the daily videos!! Keep it up, love watching the transformation.

[@JerseyAcres]

Love all the videos coming so quick... soaking up as much info as possible for my upcoming mobile renovation project. Thanks!!

[@tamistone7344]

Hi Doug and Ashley! Sorry there was more work on the flooring then what you thought. But, you are plugging along, and you never give up!!!! Best qualities in life! Thanks Ashley for another awesome video! I don't think some people know how much " you" do in a day! Cooking, cleaning, home schooling, laundry, helping Doug, editing all the video's! You are Super Woman!!!! And Doug, thinking things out, planning, preping, working hard, and going the extra mile to make things really nice and better! 😊❤

[@StarkeyatRingo]

You guys may be able to buy demolished out trailer carcasses - and then just design your insides! Bless your hearts!! they are Gold. I would watch you work, play, do anything. You guys just feel like family. It's good to have goals, but schedules are for people on a paycheck. Try not to sweat the little things - it's all about the movie for us, remember? You don't show your frustrations so much, but I could feel it and wrote the beginning of this shortly into this. Your going to make something amazing happen as you always do. Your work ethics and your hearts of gold, remind me of the old time royalty, before the dark ages rolled in.You're so real, and it's like we're all starving for realness. it's ok you're quirky, goofy and fun. And besides, the comments always hold a wealth of information. I'm just a girl, but I've learned a heck of a lot about life from you. I so thankful there are families such as yourselves.

[@carlapierle8623]

NONE of it looks easy to me! I appreciate your attention to detail and tenacity!!

[@Mari-B]

I will say, you all are one determined, hard working couple! You will have a new home after you are done! Your channel is my favorite!

[@Jo.H.]

Hi Ashley and Doug you are working so hard, the repair and prep work might seem never ending. But will make the renovation so much easier. Great job both

[@vahneb7260]

To answer your question; the projects look exceedingly difficult and very labor intensive. But as always, you persevere through it. The place is looking great. As always be well, be blessed ❤

[@annalp7520]

I can assure you, NOTHING about this project looks easy to me! 😂 Consistently impressed by you two!! 💪💪

[@lisam145]

stopping to clean and move stuff around and then to film would take forever. great vid

[@larrygizinski9378]

you two work too hard, but you are doing a good job. Lots of admiration for you and your work ethics.

[@Redl16]

Doug and Ashley, you're amazing! I've never seen anyone work so hard. Your work is always perfect. You're an example for a lot of people. Love your videos!

[@whitwellhigh]

I did what you are doing right now about 20 years ago to a 14x70 mobile home. However, I did not replace my doors and windows with mobile home doors and windows. I used regular windows and doors on my mobile home and added furring strips to the outside of the mobile home to attach vinyl siding and the regular windows and doors to it. I wished I had removed the metal siding and just added completely new wood and had removed all those 2x3s and furring strips and replaced them with clean 2x4s and 2x6s to make all the walls 8 ft tall. Also, I wished I had totally done the roof that way, too. I just reinforced the roof trusses by building a frame system (boxed it in and used 2x4 furring strips) on the trusses to add new metal to the roof and left the old metal roof under it. However, the mobile home has done great over the years and still is doing great. I ended up just giving my single wide to one of my best friends to put in his mobile home park because my plans are to build my garage and a Tiny home project where the old single wide was located on my property. I did have anyone to help me so I didn't try to completely tear away the metal siding or the original metal roof. Plus, I tried to keep my budget low.

[@lisayeaton1834]

You make it look easier than it is probably because y'all are a good team and know what you're doing.

[@deefrye5390]

Doug you and Ashley make a great team. She is always there to help you. Love your videos. ❤

[@busyboy7635]

It amazes me how much PPE and safety precautions you guys take, and that is a good thing. Most homeowners and even contractors don't do that. Great Job.

[@nyla3235]

Thanks for the videos - love that you're posting more - I always look forward to seeing your work. You'll have a great weekend. ps loved seeing your roadside haul - that was fun. MuchJoy & Peace to the family.

[@beverleymartin1881]

What a team you both are, we can see when you fall behind there is a good reason for it,Because you don't cut corners ,which is a wonderful trait to have.

[@rose-g3l]

Not worry, cause Stan quiet in his chair, is confident in your very good work and he knows well that the time-consuming "little things" are necessary to succeed the "big things". Good Job Guys!

[@sarahbrewer8945]

Sad to see Stan just lazing around when you are both so busy!

[@Hollybank5]

The dynamic duo tackles another day of challenges !! I so enjoy watching the progress, that I’m upset when the video ends 😮😩 ! ❤

[@aileenhaggarty681]

The joke in our home is Dad will fix it with a 6inch nail. Every thing he made never came apart. Like you he built to last. Bless 👍🙏🏻❤️

[@kayriggleman5196]

Definitely like you posting more ofter. If something is hard you find a way to do it.

[@JB7-]

I like how you removed the bothersome tile plywood and then discovered the shimmed out boards and were able to fix them. It’s like your intuition always works out for the best👍

[@ILGuy2012]

Seeing the pet door opening in that door made me wonder how many unintentional critters made their way inside when the previous owners lived there.

[@TheLiFeInPines]

That plywood sliding into place was so satisfying. I know that if I ever need a good demo fix, your channel has been a great go to recently 😂 Keep up the great work! 💪🏼 🌲

[@diyfferent]

Thanks :D

[@judyzwemke9305]

I watch you in the mornings for motivation! You two are an inspiration.

[@leem200]

You do make it look easy, but I know how hard it is. I am still surprised to see how new some of the wood looks when you pull the old boards up, except for the rotted ones. You both do such a great job and make a great team. I love watching you in the morning you get me up and moving. Peace!

[@shelleylee8774]

I appreciate your comments at the end of this video. I had just said that you guys make this look so easy!

[@galady8632]

I can totally understand having a schedule and expectations. You are repairing almost 40 yrs of damage and neglect. I remain amazed by how much you accomplish during each video, especially with your attention to detail. Very admirable indeed!

[@MarkSullivan-n6e]

I give you credit for sticking with it, I know it’s not easy. One suggestion is on ripping the plywood up is to use a 8’ 2x4 and pry with it.

[@Azoreanislandgirl64]

You're right, not easy. It's a lot of demolition and reconstruction. Up and down.

[@vanessagodiin770]

You folks are doing a great job. The quality of the mobile home will be better than when it was originally manufactured. Your workmanship is outstanding and you never leave a stone unturned or cut corners. Well Done!

[@niksand1713]

You seem to live by the saying my mom would say, “Do it right or don’t do it at all! “ Great work.

[@xzytqweo3538]

Looks like you are doing quite well and I wouldn't think you are on a schedule. Another suggestion is to put an outdoor outlet at that cut off breaker box outside. That way you can charge batteries, use an electric vacuum, bring your table saw...etc.

[@antonioortiz8443]

Keep up the fine work you two do….a fan!

[@cherylemaybury9967]

I’m really loving watching these videos everyday. I know that it’s a lot harder than it looks. I was just saying how much you accomplish in one day when I know it’s a whole lot of work. It’s great to see the progress though. 😊😊😊😊

[@kathygirlygirl4109]

Demolition Doug is still at it! You both are just like the Energizer Bunny. Props to you doing it now because the older you get, the less your hands want to cooperate or the back. Good work. God bless you and your family.

[@amma3536]

I so enjoy these every day videos. Take care and be blessed.😊

[@labbrockington7854]

Such team work. It's hard replacing things in a mobile home because most things for fixing a mobile home are made for fixing a standard home. You guys are doing such a great job. God bless you and your family 🍓💜🤗

[@tamora.monique]

I'm sorry that you had more rot but I was glad to watch y'all do more work. Y'all are a great example of how a husband and wife can work together 💖

[@ca6177]

Doug, you and Ashley are doing a great job! Good team!

[@AnnieBrownlll]

Am really enjoying all of your videos…

[@lindapeterson7166]

Hi Doug Ashley & kids,I sure enjoy every video & have learned so much from the two of you!You are an amazing couple & family! ❤️

[@dianalyman5950]

Take heart you two, if it's one thing you both are great at it's solving the problem. 🤗❤️🌈🙏🕊️

[@richardstone2337]

It's been an absolute treat to enjoy the increased number of videos......We're all waiting for your bathroom supplies to arrive........

[@StarkeyatRingo]

that's exactly the way I feel. I was sort of used to weekly, then sporadic, and now it's like, woah another one!

[@richardstone2337]

ha ha....@@StarkeyatRingo

[@StarkeyatRingo]

I'm not kidding, watching a new video from them with my first cup of coffee, is one of my most favorite things in life, lol!

[@ltsplace3301]

Doug I feel your pain. When I watch you just prising up the plywood it hurts my back! Sooooo many staples!! It really is a lot more work than most think. You DO make it look easy tho 😅. Lookin good! Love y’all!

[@sianstockham9244]

Another fantastic video. Thanks for sharing your journey. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@debbralehrman5957]

You guys are the best. I love your diligence in keeping your quality of work.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 You look at the long view. Not just what works for the next 5 minutes, but how things will be in the next 5 hours or 5 days. I know what you did today will not only save time, but will maintain the quality that you have shown in your building along. Bless your hands and your family. Both of you are a very good example. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😃

[@tracymclaughlinholmes677]

You guys are doing an awesome job. It is going to be so much better when it's all done. I would live in a mobile home again as long as it was down south. Having had a few of them in Pennsylvania it doesn't matter how much insulation you shove in those tiny cavities, or what kind of skirting you have around it, or what type of eindows you replace them with, or storm windows you add winter in Pennsylvania in a trailer is COLD.

[@kalrobbins2811]

Amazing work! These videos are fascinating to watch! I love watching them. Doug and Ashley, you are so talented with the amount of work you do. What really surprised me was the back door. I had no idea doors on a mobile home basically install like a window (at least that's the way it looked!) I'm looking forward to the next video!

[@dorothyallen3614]

That was a lot of work in one day, your pile of debris is evidence 🎉, be well and safe and much love to all ❤

[@UberConcrete]

i am continuously impressed with how you two guys work together in unison! amazing team work !

[@missykowalewski]

Great amount of work for a day. It’s always a little more than what is expected. At least that’s been my experience. I always think u make it look easy but doing is where the truth lies. If a project is done correctly it goes smoother but still takes some time. Fixing even the small things now will be such a big benefit later. That’s one of the first things I learned. The progress is far more than I expected. Great job guys!!!

[@brendahouseholder537]

They are both hard workers and work so well together a lovely family

[@WeeMo33]

Love the extra videos , keep it up ❤️❤️👍👍

[@bevjane7245]

Putting this back together is easy ,, made me laugh .. love a good morning laugh :) Thanks Doug and Ashley for another interesting video

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I’m glad you are to the point in your KZbin business where you don’t have to scrimp as much and can get the things you need to finish your projects. I know you’re still very frugal, but it’s good to see you have a little wiggle room.

[@karenjackson8956]

Lots of work, hard work. The most important part of a re build is the stuff you don’t see once it is completed. You both always go above and beyond. You are both amazing.

[@garyfeltus9801]

You two are hard working couple. I was really glad to see you lock the power off. Then double check to make sure . As some comments were that you make it look easy. Great job you two .

[@carolyncarlson3825]

Do it right the first time is your motto. Hugs

[@mariehall9514]

You’re going to turn around and be finished! ❤

[@lynnew5619]

Some days just don’t pan out as expected. But there’s always tomorrow. You did well today whatever. 👍❤

[@teepeeX]

It's only 10 mins for us lol.. but your making the floor stronger. It will get done in the long run 😊

[@sharonmattes748]

Geeze! You’re going to end up replacing that entire floor!

[@Reverend-Rodger]

Amazing progress, don't be so hard on yourselves.

[@lindajwilson9848]

You are doing a wonderful reconstruction of this old mobile home and I am truly amazed and proud of how patient you are as well as doing everything right! I, too, was hoping to see the installed door, but will wait for the next posting! Stay safe and enjoy the remaining checklist moving forward on this huge project.

[@gaybrinda113]

READ THIS!! I just started watching your program cuz I've got some work to do on my little 1962. I've been observing the quality of and it seems to me that you're making the trailer better than it was to begin with. New thought: add to that I was just reading today on Google News that manufactured homes are on the rise because of the housing crisis. There are cities that are rezoning, and putting the houses on ground. They are exorbitantly expensive, and you know that there's a windfall for somebody. So here is my brilliant idea. I think when you're ready to sell the place you should have a base price and then do a bidding war. Anybody who sees what you doing knows of the quality, and I don't think you're the type to really take advantage of people, but let them choose what they will pay. It seems the right thing to do. I have put much work into projects and then sold them to find out they were laughing all the way to the Bank. Just thought it'd tell you what I think.

[@oliviafox3605]

Thank you for sharing; I imagine it makes a tough job that much harder. Just know that your content is much appreciated.

[@vickymcdonald1088]

Your mobile home is going to be the nicest and strongest home in that part of the country .

[@cheryllytle4955]

Are you kidding, none of it looks easy! Lol You guys are awesome!! I can’t believe the knowledge you have to be able to take a mobile home back to the siding and rebuild it!!!
