This Was NOT What We Had Intended To Happen!

[@johnharshaw1682]

On the vinyl siding, getting rid of the green, use your bleach treatment first get rid of what you got on there, then get your turtle wax that you use on a car and then seal the vinyl with the wax and you can shine it or polish it. The wax will keep the mold from sticking to the vinyl.

[@sarahalicemayelliott4131]

My pawpaw did this too an it worked 😊

[@GrownsFamilyFarm]

Good to know!

[@wandakranz997]

Make sure you get heat tape and plug it in before cold weather to prevent frozen pipes.

[@melindabeard2283]

You can also use insulation boards from foam to put an extra layer on the skirt panels around the kitchen and bathroom will also give better protection from colder temperatures

[@GrownsFamilyFarm]

Thanks for the tip!

Brett & I are always amazed at how well y’all work together… I’m afraid we couldn’t have such a long stretch of uncut work time. 🤣♥️ -Carah

[@GrownsFamilyFarm]

😂 We have gotten to the point where we can kind of anticipate what the other person is needing a lot of time, and have done sooooo many projects together in all our years of marriage. We definitely balance each other out pretty well at this point lol.

[@jeannenorthrop8982]

We had a double wide mobile home and we put steel skirting on. Just remember to put in air vents. We never had a mold mildew problem on the north side of our home and we live in Iowa. Seeing your home brings me memories as I sold it after my husband passed. Loved our home.

[@GrownsFamilyFarm]

Ventilation is definitely one of the next steps for us. Thank you so much!

[@kathywenthold3821]

Good old-fashioned. Lysol Lysol worked on the brick on the north side of our house in Okc the original Lysol makes it pretty strong with water and spray it on. We’ll get rid of the mold and keeping it from growing back.

[@connieharrison8128]

Kevin those little boxes at the top look like they used OSB board which if the sides were not treated were not water proof. They should have built they with vinyl facia. You could rebuild them with metal siding as well.

[@GrownsFamilyFarm]

Yes, we weren’t happy that they haven’t lasted well. Thank you so much!

[@dgrforfreedom61]

The (cardboard) material is a cheap Masonite material, I would absolutely recommend using hardiboard to make repairs. It's a concrete based material which when painted is even fire resistant. Many high end builders use it.

[@GrownsFamilyFarm]

Thank you for the tip. We will keep that in mind now that we know! 😊

[@annjustus]

You might check with the company that made the home to see if they have any ideas to keep the mold off. I hope you find a solution. Happy New Year!

[@GrownsFamilyFarm]

Thank you!

[@BrendaRhodes-lt5oq]

Growns Family I am in lower Michigan in a conventional house and my vinyl siding on the north side does the same thing. I am 80 years young and not able to wash and wax, but I have found no solution. Love your family.

Suggestion for your freezing drains. Put bales of straw on each side of the pipe for insulation. Assumed this only froze at the junction where you repaired on prior show.

[@GrownsFamilyFarm]

That is a great idea!

[@kirstanshephard8393]

I work for mobile modular we usually have that problem with longstanding siding. I think if you go to your power box, get manufacturers info contact them first to see if there are any warranties, then if not, ask the manufacturers upgrades you can get if you buy direct if there is any discounts. Hope it helps.

[@GrownsFamilyFarm]

Thanks for the tips! That is helpful!

I bought a concentrated product from Menards and my son mixed it and put it in a sprayer and followed the directions. My mobile home faces North. This product covers several issues. After spraying he just used the power washer and it came off and it looked like new.

That is great to hear, we are glad you found a solution that worked!

HAPPY BLESSED NEW YEAR 2025! I certainly know the problems with MH's. That is what I have, but mine is 16 wide x76 long. My northside also looks the same. I really like that gray color. Almost looks like a steel-blue. You can only do so much when you work fulltime outside of the home, and you have critters that need so much attention. You are doing very well. Hugs and love as you keep going in "25".

[@connieharrison8128]

Happy New Year Growns Family! I used to work for a vinyl siding manufacturing company and I am sorry to say that there is nothing you can do to keep your siding clean except power wash it every year! Usually the mold is from trees being close to your house and sap getting on it. But other things can do it too like getting wet and not drying out by the sun. So if that side is in the shade all of the time and dust and dirt gets on it. You are doing the right thing by going back with metal on the bottom. A lot of people use rock as well. However it will mold as well so power washing will have to be done there as well. You should check your warranty on the siding and see what is covered. It may be replaceable if it is faded once you get it washed. Most warranties will cover fade for material but not labor to put it on. I did warranty coverage for the manufacturer. They are out of business now. LOL Good Luck!

[@GrownsFamilyFarm]

Thanks for the great info and advice! We really appreciate you!

Where we live in South Carolina we have to pressure wash our vinyl siding twice a year. We grow green mossy stuff quick.

[@GrownsFamilyFarm]

It is definitely a problem for us too! We are always searching for solutions!

[@kathrynaudilet2118]

Can you use Kilz on vinyl. I know it works great on mildew in bathrooms.

I don't no how it'll work out for your weathering in your country, just a wandering 😊

Thanks so much! We'll definitely look into that!

[@melindabeard2283]

Heat tapes on the trailers pipe coming into the trailer will stop that type of freezing also remember at least once a year run a snake cleaner threw your sink pipe to the end pipe connector you will get debree clearing takes ten min easy fix live in a trailer for 20 years now very easy to maintain

Yes, it’s such a headache! Happy new year!

[@thomassimons622]

Please don't use a 1x?, as it will rot out in time. Use siding trim that has been primed and paint to match. Don't forget to caulk the seams with a great outdoor caulk. We live in southeastern Texas, and that north side of buildings is always bad. You might see if they have mildew proof stuff at home depot

[@GrownsFamilyFarm]

Thank you so much for the advice! I’ll have to check out that mildew proof stuff!

[@tonigonzales3581]

I have the exact same same siding,after having to clean it yearly I tried dawn in the power washer let it dry then did hydrogen peroxide in the power washer,let dry and then did hydrogen peroxide again. It’s been 4 years it hasn’t come back. Peroxide kills mold bleaches doesn’t .

[@GrownsFamilyFarm]

I have a roofing company in Mississippi. They have some stuff that they spray. Your roof with is to keep moaning and beautiful dude off your roof I wonder if you could contact a roof and company and tell him what your problem is you know? Take a picture of your house and go and air with a some roofing company. Sometimes they make a spray and Kush bright on there and just tell you what to do cause. I know this roofing company are in Mississippi. They have a stuff that you spray on your roof and it's guaranteed to keep the loan and mildew off for your roof. And keep your roof clean for like 5 years. I think it is so contact the roof and company and see what they got. Thank you for this video. Yeah, or some hard-working people.
