Great job! I'm redoing a 1972 model. It's been a long slog but we're in the process of redoing the kitchen and bathroom then all the flooring. Drywall is all done now. Man, what a difference!
@@garyuselman8597 All that is done now. Exterior sheathing is next. Removing the metal and putting up ZIP System. I'm also in the process of doing a wood accent wall and the electric fireplace surround.
@@frugallandlord6974 All done now, kitchen and bathroom are 95% done. Just a few minor things like cabinet door and drawer handles, etc. The thing about adding drywall is it adds weight to the exterior. I need to put in a concrete block foundation to keep it all level. Got a farm jack just for that job. I'll get a couple more bottle jacks as well.
oh, I cannot believe this is the same home, the first time I saw it when you first had it shown it looked like a giant tuna can and I thought to myself there’s no way he’s going to make this look decent. Boy was I wrong? This looks like it was brand new just manufactured. It’s a spectacular showcase! By the way, your wife is a doll. She looks beautiful and has such a sweet personality. I am older and I can tell you a good spouse is a blessing like none other.
I went to stay with a friend in Canada about 8 years ago, and I stayed with a friend who lived in a mobile home in a park. I noticed that people up there do not let mobile homes get trashed. There was several people renovating some of them. They were also very beautifully maintained. I have never seen anything like that before.
Very nice renovation. Love the tile floors and the bathroom. But to be able to go outside on the porch on either side and drink a cup of coffee and listen to the birds. You renovated a nice little cozy home.
That is very nice. You did a great job. My Mom bought her first rental when I was 18 months old, and now I am 69 years old. I've renovated apartments and houses with her over the years, and this video brought back memories. I started finding good buys on remodeling materials at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore, their thrift store, and have gotten good buys on new and used items for remodel projects. They often have the merchandise shown online at their website.
This renovated home is better than new . It doesn't have the "fancy" look but the junk quality of the new factory homes that cost a fortune. I like that the floors are the same throughout it looks so clean and crisp. This is the way they should be built plain and simple.
My sister had me put in her flooring the same way. I at first thought it was strange, but then I realized what filth must be on our shows. I couldn’t have imagine having vinyl flooring throughout the whole house with no carpet. But she absolutely loves it. She sanitizes everything and easily with a wet dust mop. She doesn’t allow shoes in her house. She has a large rug for her baby to crawl on and I have a large mat by the door I can stand on when I visit temporarily. If I am going to move through the house I must shed my shoes. I told her several times how weird it seemed to me to have hard floors throughout. She kept reminding me how gross carpet is. I remember loving carpet in my bathroom, but she is right, it’s very disgusting when you think about it. My next remodel will be like you said, Chrisp and clean, no carpet, just like in this video.
Luke!! You guys did an amazing job on it. What a difference from when I saw it with no walls holes in the floor, old windows, just a latter to get inside!. It's beautiful!!! ❤❤
@@kimberlychodur3508 go to my playlist called “junk mobile home renovation” you can see some early footage, lol it was literally junk. Thanks for watching.
You Did a great job! The tile floors throughout makes a more unified look! The textured walls make it look like a new construction stick built home. Best of luck!
This is my first time on your video so I don’t know the backstory, but I can tell you did a great job and I think most people are waking up and going to a smaller homes and trailers. If you can find somebody clean delivered by you that’s the biggest thing it’s not having a big house it’s being safe and people are learning they don’t wanna give up 60% of their income just to live in a big house.
Really a great job. The home looks fantastic. Our daughter bought an old mobile home several years ago and after about a week into the restoration process we all decided the lady she bought it from should have paid our daughter to take it off her hands. Lol😂 But in the end the old '72, $2000. mobile home turned out nice andcserved her well fir a few years. A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into fixing that thing up, but her dad and I redid the whole thing from top to bottom. 😊 Yours really does look terrific. 😊
Brother, I noticed the gap between the trim and the wall. You have white baseboards so can take white caulking and fill all the cracks, then wipe down the seams immediately with a damp rag or sponge to get any caulk off the walls. This will also work around the plug and switch plates. Also make the screws on the plate all face the same directions. Someone told me this years ago and I did it on a home I remodeled. Before I put the caulk in the gaps, people were telling me it looked nice, but after caulking they told me it looked so much better and several people said it looked cleaner. All said they never seen the gaps the first time they looked. They did but couldn’t identify what was changed and different before and after. Today they make caulk in stainless steel color, so my up coming remodel will not have gaps between the stainless steel parts like towel holders and door handles. I also took baby food jars and kept touch up paint. I would touch up every imperfections and ding caused by moving in, every time I cleaned. It was the most beautiful home I had ever seen at the time. Just so you know, yours is one of the best remodels I have ever seen. The video inspires me to make a UA-cam video of my remodel. I have some videos, and lots of photos before and what I have done so far, but things seem so much more expensive today, so it’s not going fast. I buy new stuff from thrift stores and have been doing so for years. My double wide was probably a fentanyl house and I bought it from the owner for back taxes and a truck and travel trailer. She almost lost it for back taxes and I bought it days before the auction. Thanks for the video.
Yeah I am aware about the gap, if I’m repainted the home I will caulk then tape and paint but on this home I just painted the walls and trim separately and nailed the trim on after I painted, I understand what you are saying with white caulk I just have never thought about caulking walls without painting over the caulk, maybe it would look ok 🤔. Anyway thank you so much for the kindly worded tips, I definitely appreciate that.
@@frugallandlord6974 dude, I truly appreciate you and your video. And your remodel was amazing. I am so glad that you posted, because it gave me motivation. I was almost stopped in my remodeling. You probably don’t know how much your video meant to me. I was reminded of my past mistakes and experiences I made. I really appreciate you sharing your video.
Very impressive! I wish I could find something like that to buy at a reasonable price. After your renovation, not before lol. Beautiful house. Y’all did a bang up job!!!!
I was looking for a Tiny Home when I came on to this video. This is so my style!! I love clean nice smaller homes and this would be perfect for me due to being on Social Security. Very affordable living and the home looks brand new!
Thanks, I haven’t looked into the price of tiny homes but I’m guessing these old mobile homes are much more affordable, it’s just that they usually need a lot of work to make them nice, good day and thanks for watching.
I saw that home when you got it . I thought to myself that it needed a mountain of work. If you did this yourself you're a hardworking man. I admire your perseverance. Good job. I just would have put handles on the cupboards although I know it's stylish now not to. You should be proud.
@@benvolman4976 thanks, I agree about the door pulls, the reason is that I just forgot to do it. Yeah I did everything myself and it was a lot to get it back livable. 😀
I think the wood siding new insulation, windows, doors and drywall made the home much quieter, it was a frugal job but I didn’t want to cut corners, I think it turned out pretty good and most people like it, thanks for the visit.😀
Hello, just found your channel. Excellent job on this rehab! Nice job on the decks - love the foundation. In the little room shelves would be nice to the left of the closet. Kitchen pantry closets are always fantastic!
It would have been so nice to have seen a 'before' picture of the coach. I live in a double wide coach in Palm Springs, Calif in an over 55 complex. I just witnessed a '70s era coach completely renovated to a similar extent so this video was very interesting. I'm wondering where the geographical location is? Good Work!!
Nice place! Last November I had to give up on my 1983 Madrid because it had deteriorated so much. I had lived there since 2005 when I bought the 3 bedroom 2 bath 14x80 for $2,600.00 from a neighbor. We owned our land and paid a friend $500 to move it across the street. We had to do a lot of repairs, but something was always wearing out. Our finances were limited, but we held it together until 2022. I miss living there every day. It is still my home, and I live where I'm at now.😢
are you living in the 14x80 now, you got a pretty good deal on that, I don’t see many 3 bed 2 bath single wides but I know they made a lot of them, good luck to you.
@frugallandlord6974 No, I do not still live in my mobile home. One of my daughters bought me a house in town. I do still own my trailer, but I have not been able to bring myself to go there since I moved last November. My daughter did not let me bring a lot of my things that I treasure. Almost all of my clothes are still there. I also own the land, 1/2 acre, my home sits on. I've lived there since 1990. It's all paid for too.
@frugallandlord6974 My youngest daughter pays for her trailer in October, and she will pull her trailer onto the land in front of my place. I will continue to use my house as storage. My place has holes in the ceiling all over, and some areas of the floor are weak (a hole under my couch). The shape it's in no one would rent it or buy it. The place I'm in now was built in 2018, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. She bought all new furniture that suited her taste. It's a nice to live, but not my home.
@@jeanbaker2087 so sad to hear. I understand having a home that is yours. I lost my first real home. I have lived in several places before and since but still miss my home. I am getting older and have made homes for others. I am now remodeling a double wide to sell, and will use the profits to build my final home. Don’t give up and don’t hang on to the old homestead. Let it go and build your new home. It’s not easy or cheap these days, but I believe it is still possible. I have dreams of a home powered completely by solar. Completely paid for and no utilities. I will overpay my taxes by several years, and keep overpaying as long as I can afford it, so I can’t ever lose it. I don’t feel like we can ever really own anything in America.
You did a wonderful job sprucing that mobile home up. My daughter just bought a trashed RV with a house added to it and is wondering whether to tear it down or what, just to flip it.
@@ronnisimmons9992 probably built by the same couple of people, the construction is actually pretty good for an old mobile home, at least in my opinion.
Thanks, the Highway is not the access road, but it’s close enough to this highway to get a little noise but it’s not as bad as the camera makes it seem.😀
Yeah I have used luxury vinyl plank flooring on several homes before, I do like it a lot. I have not seen the rubber flooring yet though. thanks for the tip.
Our first house was a trailer. Great starter home. We sold that to pay for closing costs for our house. Have always owned and never rented. Trailers and tiny homes are a good way to start. Great job. I would put up shelves above the washer/dryer. Small corner in the small bedroom would put shelves also for clothes. Not much room for dresser. This way more room. Love you have a deck at both doors.
I own a 1995 Fleetwood double wide--in excellent condition, mind you-and the man that came and installed our walk in shower (courtesy of the Veterans Administration) told me that I could not install tile in our bathrooms or on any of the walls because they wouldn't support the tile and the base (?). I noted when we had to have some other repair work done that the drywall on our walls is very thin--less than half an inch! Did you have to put in 'real' drywall--the 3/4 inch stuff in order to install that tile in the bathroom? I really want tile around the top and sides of our shower, but not sure how to go about it.
you need to use tile backer board, the floors and walls can absolutely support tile if they are in good condition, as far as drywall, I used 1/2 on the walls and 3/8 I think it is for the ceiling, good day and thanks for watching.
@@frugallandlord6974 Hey! Thanks for this information. You did a fantastic job on this little place, btw. I really wish one of the diy channels on tv would sponsor a 'mobile home renovation' show.... So many shows about all manor of housing-but no mobile homes.
I like the way that you have renovated this entire mobile home but where I am from in TX I know that many people will just keep them till they are no longer livable.
Do you mean that tenants will destroy the home, yeah I understand that occasionally you can get some tenants that are extremely rough on a home and I have had some tenants like that. If they stay for many years then it’s still worth it because the cash flow you get over the years along with the deposit will be enough for the damages usually. Thanks for the visit.😀
Yeah. Unfortunately, I think the tile is toast once you try to move it. It may even now be too heavy. Excellent choice on cabinets and counter. I like what you did there.
Mini split ac I installed in the mobile home: amzn.to/44hkmtm
We added the same minisplit to two mobile home rentals last year
@@rdavism1 I put the same one in a stick built home and I haven’t had any complaints with it yet.
Should have caulk around the top base boards....
@@Rockingwithcowboy I never do it when I install new baseboards, if I repaint a home I usually tape and caulk
Incredible renovation. Basically built a new house. Nicer than most "new" mobile homes. Congrats.
thank you so much
Great renovation! ❤
@@lorraine7039 Thanks I appreciate that, thanks for watching.

Thank you very much!
I hope the people that get this home appreciate all the work you’ve done😊
Yeah I hope so too😀
Looks good
@@Boxerlove thanks😀
@@James-to7pi it’s all tile but honestly I don’t see a problem with hardwood either 🧐
Great job! I'm redoing a 1972 model. It's been a long slog but we're in the process of redoing the kitchen and bathroom then all the flooring. Drywall is all done now. Man, what a difference!
drywall makes a huge difference in these old mobile homes that had paneling in my opinion. keep working on it and you will be done before you know it.
Great job! I love single wide homes!
@@garyuselman8597 All that is done now. Exterior sheathing is next. Removing the metal and putting up ZIP System. I'm also in the process of doing a wood accent wall and the electric fireplace surround.

This renovated home is better than new . It doesn't have the "fancy" look but the junk quality of the new factory homes that cost a fortune. I like that the floors are the same throughout it looks so clean and crisp. This is the way they should be built plain and simple.

Brother, I noticed the gap between the trim and the wall. You have white baseboards so can take white caulking and fill all the cracks, then wipe down the seams immediately with a damp rag or sponge to get any caulk off the walls. This will also work around the plug and switch plates. Also make the screws on the plate all face the same directions. Someone told me this years ago and I did it on a home I remodeled. Before I put the caulk in the gaps, people were telling me it looked nice, but after caulking they told me it looked so much better and several people said it looked cleaner.

I am getting older and have made homes for others. I am now remodeling a double wide to sell, and will use the profits to build my final home. Don’t give up and don’t hang on to the old homestead. Let it go and build your new home. It’s not easy or cheap these days, but I believe it is still possible. I have dreams of a home powered completely by solar. Completely paid for and no utilities. I will overpay my taxes by several years, and keep overpaying as long as I can afford it, so I can’t ever lose it. I don’t feel like we can ever really own anything in America.
Beautiful job. Love all the tile.
Thank you.
Looks very nice. If it were mine I'd put as big of an island as I could in that kitchen. One with alot of storage capacity. Nice job.
Thanks, yeah an island would be nice.😀
Beautiful. Awesome. I'm 85 yes old. This just what I need. Perfect. To bad you aren't Spokane WA. Of course I need the price
Thank you so much 😊
Wonderful work done!! It looks fabulous
Thank you so much 😀
Excellent job!
Thank you very much!
Great job and your room looks great!
Thank you so much 😊
Beautiful job!!
Thank you! 😊
Very nice. I love the tile floor throughout.
Thanks, I also like the tile, thanks for watching
Great job!! Thanks for sharing 👩🏽🦱👩🏽🦱
Thanks for watching, and you are welcome.
You did a wonderful job sprucing that mobile home up. My daughter just bought a trashed RV with a house added to it and is wondering whether to tear it down or what, just to flip it.
Wow is the house, a mobile home or just like a stick built cabin. I guess it would depend on the quality of the build, if I would keep it or not.
Bravo!!! Nicely done! ⭐️
Thank you so much!
You should put cabinets around the refrigerator to make it look built in and more finished.
Yeah that’s a good idea
No it limits the size of the fridge, we have issues with this as they change sizes.
You have done a GREAT job on this.
It just so happens to be the same model as mine and ours has also been remodeled.
Cool did yours have the front windows that were rounded on the top? Thanks for watching.
@@frugallandlord6974 It had already been replaced with a 8x4 picture window.
I think I'm third owner.
@@ronnisimmons9992 probably built by the same couple of people, the construction is actually pretty good for an old mobile home, at least in my opinion.
Fantastic renovation....very impressive work.
Thank you I appreciate that.
You did a good job on this mobile home.
Thanks😀
Nicely done, it will be good for many years
Thank you so much, that was my goal to make it last a long time and be something that people would enjoy living there. 😀
This place looks amazing for a mobile home. Good work. Mine won't be nearly as nice due to budget but it'll be home.
Yeah that’s all you need, everything is just insanely expensive anymore.🤨
Busy Highway is only real negative. Nice redo!
Thanks, the Highway is not the access road, but it’s close enough to this highway to get a little noise but it’s not as bad as the camera makes it seem.😀
Please share what type tile you put on the floors.
They look very nice.
I believe it’s a gray wood grain ceramic tile, we got it on clearance at Home Depot.
I love trailers! Awesome Job.
Thanks I appreciate that, I hope you enjoyed the video.
Great remodel. You can always use LVT and also there is this rubber type flooring that is just as durable as LVT
Yeah I have used luxury vinyl plank flooring on several homes before, I do like it a lot. I have not seen the rubber flooring yet though. thanks for the tip.
@kldegeyter What is the rubber type flooring called? I have tried to find residential rubber flooring for years, so I am interested. Thanks!
@@jls6n when I get home I will get the info for you.
Great job! I really like the floors.
Thanks 😀
This is amazing!! It’s beautiful!
Thank you.
Very nice, beautiful renovation
Thank you.
Very nice! It's a home now. Great job 👍
Thanks, I hope someone will feel at home here.😀
It really looks great. I hope you find a good tenant.
Thank you so much.😀
I like how bright it is…sometimes trailers can be sooooo dark!
I agree about them being dark.😀
gorgeous!!!!!
Thank you so much!
This looks Amazing!
Thank you so much
Our first house was a trailer. Great starter home. We sold that to pay for closing costs for our house. Have always owned and never rented. Trailers and tiny homes are a good way to start. Great job. I would put up shelves above the washer/dryer. Small corner in the small bedroom would put shelves also for clothes. Not much room for dresser. This way more room. Love you have a deck at both doors.
Thanks for the thoughtful comment, very appreciated.😀
I own a 1995 Fleetwood double wide--in excellent condition, mind you-and the man that came and installed our walk in shower (courtesy of the Veterans Administration) told me that I could not install tile in our bathrooms or on any of the walls because they wouldn't support the tile and the base (?). I noted when we had to have some other repair work done that the drywall on our walls is very thin--less than half an inch! Did you have to put in 'real' drywall--the 3/4 inch stuff in order to install that tile in the bathroom? I really want tile around the top and sides of our shower, but not sure how to go about it.
you need to use tile backer board, the floors and walls can absolutely support tile if they are in good condition, as far as drywall, I used 1/2 on the walls and 3/8 I think it is for the ceiling, good day and thanks for watching.
@@frugallandlord6974 Hey! Thanks for this information.
You did a fantastic job on this little place, btw.
I really wish one of the diy channels on tv would sponsor a 'mobile home renovation' show.... So many shows about all manor of housing-but no mobile homes.
@@rebeccakleitz3177 yeah that would be cool.
I heard you have to use 3/4 inch green rock on the walls and ceilings in a bathroom if you want to tile it
you did a beautiful job i could see myself living in that
Thanks 😀
Great job. It’s beautiful
Thank you so much 😊
I would live in this beautiful mobile home ..looks great and so roomy
Thanks .😀
I like the way that you have renovated this entire mobile home but where I am from in TX I know that many people will just keep them till they are no longer livable.
Do you mean that tenants will destroy the home, yeah I understand that occasionally you can get some tenants that are extremely rough on a home and I have had some tenants like that. If they stay for many years then it’s still worth it because the cash flow you get over the years along with the deposit will be enough for the damages usually. Thanks for the visit.😀
Yeah. Unfortunately, I think the tile is toast once you try to move it. It may even now be too heavy. Excellent choice on cabinets and counter. I like what you did there.
@@AshleySpeaks4U I won’t ever move it, I definitely was skeptical about tile in a mobile home, but so far so good and the tenants all love it😀
Nice remodel. Well done.
Thank you so much.😀
