[@leefottler4744]

I realize this is an older video, but wanted to make a comment on the “don’t caulk the z-flashing” . As a repair person that has dealt with many rot situations, I agree the video, caulk it. Two points , I rarely saw water damage behind the siding that would have been relieved by leaving the z uncaulked . The water never makes it that far as typically there was not enough barrier, ie. house wrap, to direct it down to the z flashing. A bad leak in that case ends up in the wall. Good reason to use wrap. My second point in favor of caulking the z flashing is more times than not what I have had to deal with is rain water getting trapped by the z and being “sucked into the end of the siding and causing the bottom 1-6” to rot because the end of the siding was never primed or sealed. If that is not done by the original installer, there is no way to do it in the future, solution: caulk it. I would also note , be sure to caulk around the trim to siding edge. That , with good quality latex paint will make that siding last a good long time. I know I was taught don’t caulk the z as well but real world facts changed my practices. Ps. Same goes for the seams between the panels, caulk them, I see rain get in there time and again despite the supposed “Locking seal” .

I have metal siding on my trailer can I put vinyl siding right over the top of it or do I have to take that metal off

[@TheBlueCollarPreacher]

You can go over it, I used to put siding on houses for a living, we used to put a 1/2" piece of foam on first to make it flat, adds a little more insulation to. And use screws to install it. Might look at some other videos on it first. Thanks for watching.

Sounds like more weight than the walls and floor can handle when you say metal. Probably 2×3 maybe 2x4. I was thinking of adding cement board siding 4x8 sheets that are only 80 lbs. That 3,840 lbs added to my 2x6 walls. But the floor is only 2x6, it needs to be 2x10 to support that much weight. You may have problems later especially if some day it's to be moved. Yes ive found a few no one could move. Most because of a newly installed shingle roof.

If a mobile home has metal siding. Would it be possible to convert it to this type of siding? I don't know if it would be complicated.

[@TheBlueCollarPreacher]

It's possible; Most metal sided mobile homes has horizontal pieces of wood running from one end of it to the other, around 2 ft on centers, I think you can remove the screws 4 ft at a time before installing the wood siding.

You don’t want to caulk the drip edge because that will keep the water trapped behind the T1-11 which will cause rotting.

[@lonniebeal6032]

I'm in my 3 manufactured home, that happened because the sealant wasn't maintained on that lower trim piece. And if you're going to reside, the right way if you plan on staying in it is, first 15/32 cdx, then tyvek paper it, then siding, T1-11 or Hardi board and don't put that directly over the cdx seams, stagger it.

[@CarrieGerenScogginsOfficial]

Adding on additional siding pieces, and water running behind the new, is what happened to a used mobile home, that I bought a few years back. The prior owner had added on vinyl siding, covered the whole mobile home in it, but did not add a roof-over. Without the added roof-over, with a good ***long over-hang*** , then the water ran down between the new siding and the original. It is ok to add on new siding, just ensure that there is a good new roof with a long over-hang preventing water from getting in there. Those old mobile homes will need a roof over at some point, should be as one puts on the new siding. My suggestion is that no one uses vinyl siding, it's cheap, and does not withstand time. It may be trendy, but who cares about that, as what really matters is how long it will last. I would want a new ceramic tin roof, and roof-over, long over-hang, and also added protection by a porch-like length going all the way around the mobile home to prevent water leakage around windows. I would also prefer the ceramic tin be used as siding on the mobile home. It would be costly, but outside of a full big roof-over, so no water comes in contact with the mobile home, it would be difficult to preserve it. Those kept under cover, in a building, a big roof-over, or extensive roof system with long over-hang, have proven to stand the test-of-time, those with no water hitting them have lasted since the 1940's and 1950's, just as the newer mobile homes could if kept totally dry.

[@TheBlueCollarPreacher]

I agree; I know it would of been a lot better, but in this case the lady could not afford it, that is why I took the time to tuck it under the edge of the old roof, water shed is important. Thanks for watching.

dont caulk the top of Z flashing on the bottom of the T-111 that the point of release of anything behind it, the gutter should go under the roof tin were the staples were holding it down so water stays on top of seal, top to bottom of wall , window goes under siding under tyvex wrap or radiant barrier to stop air and heat from moving thru openings. Trailer tin work tends to not seal back as well when you put it back down .If water does get in on ya just use Red Guard membrane sealer ,don't need to clean the hell out it first, goes right on lasts forever.

It's not necessary to caulk the drip edge. In fact it can trap water inside once it shrinks and pulls away as it runs between the cracked caulk and the siding and can rot the new siding.

[@TheBlueCollarPreacher]

Water runs down hill, there is no way water can get trapped in the drip edge; the backside of the drip edge is around 2" tall while the front edge is only about 1/4", we put the caulk on the drip edge to keep bugs out. Thanks for watching.

Check and see if there are any Handymen in your area that can give you a Senior discount. Sorry to hear about your situation.

[@K3nVV]

Technically you should reseal around your windows every so many years. As long as the leak isn't coming down from the roof, it's very likely coming down the side of your exterior walls to your window and the seal has failed, allowing water to enter into the backside of the window. The easiest and cheapest way to try on your own, which doesn't require much, is to get a ladder and caulk around them, making sure to seal it well. Be sure to use a silicone for exterior.

All you have to do is clean the old caulking off of the outside edge of around the window really good.(where the edge of the wondow flange meets the wall) And then go to home depot and buy a caulking gun and a tube or 2 of exterior window silicone or caulking. And then just re caulk around the window, and it will stop leaking. Only cost you like $20

[@joaquinpartida9609]

How much does something like this cost

[@TheBlueCollarPreacher]

It all depends on where you live, and when; I have seen it range from $20 t0 $50 a sheet, hurricanes usually causes it to go up in price. Just this last month it has doubled because we are heading into hurricane season. Labor depends on location. This job the siding was around $30 a sheet at that time, it's around $45 here in Wyoming as of now.

I’m gonna do this in my place someday. ItMs the ugly ass old metal garbage and i’m gonna do exactly what was done in this video.

[@mlb556]

It would be nice if we actually saw the process of installing the siding rather than before and after.

[@TheBlueCollarPreacher]

It's pretty basic you do reverse procedure, you put it on the same way you take it off. I just give you what I used for materials, and common sense of basic water shedding. Unless your trailer has metal siding on it. Please keep in mind that I get paid by the hour, and can't spend too much time on my camera. Also stay tuned for more videos on our little house. I will show you more and even cheaper way to put siding on as it's my own house. Thanks for watching.

very nice, thanks! love the credits HALLELUJAH to JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD! SHALOM! checking out vids, because would like to buy an old, cheap 28' office trailer, was looking around at the fancy "faux wood" siding... like it very much, but now trying to figure out where to buy and how much it'll run... looks like a lot of work to remove staples, screw, bolt, etc... how many hours would you say to remove the original (old) siding? thanks and GOD BLESS!

[@TheBlueCollarPreacher]

All depends on how much experience you have, tools available, I could strip one that size in about a day. And about 2-3 days to reside. Thanks for watching 😊, and God bless you.

[@Alex-rq9jj]

The point of the z flashing is to let moisture from behind the siding come out if u caulk it it defeats the purpose of the flashing

[@TheBlueCollarPreacher]

The flashing keeps moisture from getting behind it. I am getting ready to to put same set up on my little house, stay tuned, and I can explain more then. Thanks for watching.

[@Alex-rq9jj]

The flashing is indented to go on and the house wrap over the top flange so that in the event water gets where it shouldn't it can run from behind the siding and out

[@karlafonin9241]

Should get a different window..busted flange and weep holes on the side?!

[@TheBlueCollarPreacher]

@@karlafonin9241 Most people that live in a trailer house can't afford top quality; they buy what they can get. I just do the labor, even at a discount because she is a single mother.

[@TheBlueCollarPreacher]

No it's to keep moisture from getting behind. not letting it out. You may be thinking like weep holes that masons put in bricks to let moister out. We're trying to keep moister from getting behind there in the first place.

[@zeke112964]

Why is the window installed sideways (@ 4:10 mark) ?

I would use osb, instead of the expensive siding, and paint it right away, it will last a few years, I've done it on our little house, in another video.

[@youwhogirl7702]

I realize this is an older video but wondering if anyone could give me a cost for replacing the siding on the back of my double wide. The ‘cardboard’ old siding has rot like this home and the estimate I got included a replacement of better panels, some sort of underlayment.. It will be a primed type panel I can paint myself.

Long skinny window is orientated the wrong way! Were you aware of this, and how about new weep holes???

You need to be careful pulling those staples from the roof more so on trailers with wood fascia but I've seen em catch wind and fly

[@TheBlueCollarPreacher]

Yeah we know about the wind here in Cheyenne, WY. I made sure it was a nice day and we only did sections at a time. Thanks for watching.

[@waylangoddard7178]

I own a 1991 Bonnavilla mobile home, 16'x76' that has similar wooden panel siding as this home does. I am thinking about replacing the siding with sheets of corrogated metal siding (same as you would use with a roof or "pole building"). My wooden siding is starting to show it's age and the panels are starting to seperate at the seams.

[@TheBlueCollarPreacher]

That would even be better. Might have to do roof as well to extend past the siding.

[@waylangoddard7178]

@@TheBlueCollarPreacher Yes will be replacing my roof as soon as I can as well, but my roof is actually not in terrible shape. I am more concerned about my siding. It's even starting to rot out in places which I have patched up upon moving into our home 2 years ago, which is now starting to "re-rot" through my patchwork lol. The home was cheap though, so I'm cannot complain.

[@TheBlueCollarPreacher]

@@waylangoddard7178 I understand. It's just that your roof has to extend past your siding. for the water to shed off. I have another method for reproofing trailers as well just haven't made video about it yet.

[@reaperasylum2163]

I never did like the ole masonite or whatever siding that is. My first trailer went from tin to that side before I moved in and it just fell apart after a few years (improperly repaired) now the trailer I live in now has aluminum siding and the entire sub floor is just rotting, stupid osb crap. I can't win for losing

[@TheBlueCollarPreacher]

@@reaperasylum2163 I understand, That is why we are now building new home out of metal building. Our last house had wood siding, and I had to paint it every year, and replace siding every time.
