🔷 ABOUT US 🔷
We're a DIY family building our "forever homestead" from 15 acres of raw undeveloped land in Tennessee. All of our content is family friendly and safe for everyone to enjoy.
In today's video we look inside the home to see how badly the interior was damaged during the move. We are most concerned about our finished drywall and if it cracked or fell apart while the mobile home was moved. Let's go!

A full covered front porch would be so awesome , just to sit out in the rain or a sunny day🤗

I am not surprised at all that the house move went well. Those people were clearly professionals and Sam always builds stuff super sturdy. Win win combo.

I was a Dealer for Nationwide modular homes in the 1970s and early 1980s I sold and installed several 2 and 3 section homes. People would say it’s a double wide I would have to tell them the difference these homes are built and shipped 100s of miles and stay in this almost perfect shape proves the build quality. There was always minor cosmetic damage to touch up but nothing much.

[@deborahlehman8617]

Boy I just look at a video of a double wide move yesterday on another channel and that poor thing had cracks coming from each corner of each window and doors in every room so I expected to see that today and amazing none!! So maybe the difference in a build from years ago as to today!!!

Those superficial cracks could be from the house being on a new level rather than from the actual transport. I love the views from your windows and I know y’all will enjoy living in the home-when you get everything put back in.

We were in the moving and set up of manufactured homes. The we watched the move the crew did. Very professional job. Bringing it down backwards was amazing to see. That crew was great. So glad to see there is not any damage. Good job!!!!

Other then it is Still a piece of TRAILER TRASH!!

[@drunkingsailor2359]

Actually your home faired very well for that move, you definitely can expect some small stress cracks in various walls, whats impressive is the install of the windows and doors and that they operate great after that move, means you did well on that install at original location. 👏 KUDOS GUYS.

[@turquoisepinecone]

Welcome to East, TN. What part are you in? I live in Newport, which is about an hour east of Knoxville and 30 minutes from Dollywood. Thank you for sharing your moving adventure. My mom and I watched it together and she had to close her eyes as they were bringing your home off the hill. LOL I am so thankful you had very minor damage with such a drastic move. I am so excited to see your upcoming videos and watch you build your Homestead. I do not live on a Homestead, per se, but I do have chickens, geese, turkeys and goats. I also live in a converted barn! LOL

[@lindaschoolcraft8536]

Love, love you guys! Can’t wait to see what you do. I love mobile homes. As I get older and am a widow, I am thinking more and more about moving into a “trailer” since it’s just me and my fur babies. I don’t need this nine room two story to take care of for many more years or the seven acres. I’m sure God has a plan for me as well.

[@charlene5461]

@Linda Schoolcraft Hi Linda! Mobile home...trailer people always got a bad name. Back in the mid '80's I chose to live in a trailer for many reasons. Less space to heat means less electricity means less money and less space to have to CLEAN!!😃 With the money I saved on taxes, which is a great saving from a house and kept my expenses down from smaller footprint, I afforded to travel, take lengthy vacations and spend time with extended family I normally wouldn't be blessed with. Trailer living is where it's at! Hubby and I just bought a used and demolished on the inside, mobile home and are remodeling it for our forever home. Future proofing for our golden(or should I say silver😆) years and this will be my last.🤞 I think your thoughts of going smaller would be an asset to you and your lifestyle,(no matter what other people think) trailers are a cozy, less expensive but just as nice as a house, alternative way of living. There is another KZbinr's that is fixing up a used mobile home. Her name is Merina. Her and her husband do great diy's on their home. Fearfully Creative is their channel. Remodel on a budget is their motto. They have to! They have 4 kids!!😂 Just be sure to get someone who knows about mobile home, if that's what you decide, and get a well built one! There is some out there that ain't worth burning for the heat!! Good luck and blessings on whatever you decide! Have a blessed week!

[@doedoe49]

If I was you Linda ,Id sell that big house . And get a small house ,maybe 2 bedroom for you . So you have room, for kids our grandkid visits . Plus space rent is getting so high ,on mobile home spaces .

[@charlene5461]

@@doedoe49Hi Paula! This is true. But Linda has 7 acres. Could easily sale 6 acres and still own her own land and home, and be totally out of debt. Again, reducing her expenses and have the security of owning her own home on her own property and with only one acre to have to upkeep. That is is our situation. We own our land and our home, out right so taxes and upkeep are minimal. With a 2 bedroom, 2 bath mobile home, we have 4 grandkids and a great nephew that all have their own sleeping space(triple bunk beds we built together and a queen size mattress the oldest sleeps on, with their own t.v., 🎮 gaming and vcr/DVD player. They love their room! The great nephew sleeps on the big sectional with me. He's still young and his mom has spoiled him to sleep with her so I sleep on one section and he on the other and fall asleep watching the Grinch😃(his favorite movie) and still afforded a week vacation at a condo at the beach with all of them plus 2 older granddaughters!🤗 It is a sweet and blessed life💖🙏💖 Very thankful!

Hello 👋 Caroline, how are you doing?

[@lillygardens1]

So glad everything on the honey do list is only easy, superficial fixes! Yay!! You're in tornado alley now. Spring is sometimes wild here, and unavoidable. So please consider that, before remodeling too much now. Summer is usually a calm weather time here. Might want to delay any construction til then. And build a sturdy tornado shelter on your property. It saves lives. Take care. 💖

[@Og-Judy]

FYI. They do have tornadoes in NC. It is wise to have a shelter though. I'm in Wisconsin. When I had my mobile it was anchored well. But the park I was in had a shelter for residents. Now in Senior housing. I am disabled and mo longer able to do yard work etc.

[@stevedonalson5675]

Congratulations guys! Considering the stress the house went through, this was a very successful move. I understand how strange it is to look at the window and see something else. We moved my aunt’s house and to see everything the way it was inside and something completely different out the window is really surreal!

I just accidentally found your show last night. You two are down to earth people. Very interesting so far. I've subscribed so I'm waiting old shows and catching up . The move was interesting and I love the apple and pear orchard.

[@debbee3319]

Just a suggestion instead of a sliding glass door what about French doors. It gives you a wider opening if you need to bring items in and out. We had sliding doors and i was always having a hard a time carrying things in from they outside. :)

[@sandrawestley4193]

Sandra WestleyUK, French doors are nice but if you live in a windy area they can be taken out of your hand and smashed, as you can guess I speak from experience, we had doors fitted on our present house, 2 sliding doors that part, they give you the same open space as French doors but are safe with wind, there like 2 pocket doors that slide apart.

[@joannye2871]

I am elated to see that the move was successful! You always have a doable master plan that looks to the future. Thoughts and prayers for some restful days ahead!

When you live in tornado-prone areas, this is a MUST!!! 7 people lost their lives a month ago near here because they didn't have a reinforced underground shelter, please plan for this ASAP!

What a beautiful view you all have out your windows. Just as the camera was panning up in the kitchen, a bird trilled outside, and it just sounded so serene and lovely.

[@crinkle2649]

Instead of a sliding glass door, get the kind that opens like a door, or the French doors. Sliding doors are a giant pain. Most of them don't lock properly and they are very easily broken into.

[@kmwrites7456]

@Crinkle: I was thinking the same thing. If they get a covered porch the doors can swing out and it opens up the interior.

[@Godwinpounds4333]

Hello 👋 Deborah, how are you doing?

[@mnwhit1]

I had a 16*80 that I had moved from town to the farm about 15 miles I was a nervous wreck. I wired the cabinets together so they would fly open and all my dishes. I took out all the heavy furniture,laid the TV in the floor, removed things off the wall. Once it made it to the farm it had to be padded across the corn field and pulled by a tractor and pushed by the hauler. Once inside I discovered a horseshoe hanging on the wall. I do have 1 suggestion make sure all your windows raise and close. They sometimes get in a bind. Your trailer looks like it is home.

[@helenlaboe7532]

So happy most of the items to fix are minor! Happy to continue watching both of you settling into your new homestead. 😄

[@GreenAcreHomestead]

Awesome to hear! We dream of the same!

[@terryhenderson424]

Yes, this is the time to do a number of those renovations, fixes, etc... And yes, drywall and sanding creates fine dust. And yes, the Rv trailer is multiple steps away from the house ........ Maybe once you get the CO you can begin to stradle living between the two residences? It certainly makes absolute sense to do a top down, complete cleaning withiut the furniture et al! Even if you keep a clean house, there are nooks, crannies, and corners that just don't get reached as well as others; and your house is pretty darned clean. It will be interesting to see which projects you tackle in what order as you reassemble, repair, and mini remodel along.

That's a great idea. Would you contact a roofing company for those end cuts?

[@gary-gilbert]

@@darleneclark6098 there are places that make those roofing panels from rolls of flat metal. Taylor Metal is my closest place. Those are the best places. Other places sell the 24 ft pieces of metal and cut to length for your job. Those are the second best places to buy the metal. Ex coop’s farm stores smaller building supply places. You can ask these ppl that install the metal roofing where they get their materials too. Even if you get the blemished sheets who cares first time someone weed eats near it it will get a few blemishes. But it will only scratch instead of knocking a hole in it like the vinyl.
