  • Siding Removal Shows Just How Bad This Is! Tracking down the water leak from outside that is causing our floor joists to rot, we remove the metal siding from the kitchen and bedroom wall and find the biggest shock to date on this remodel of our 1988 Palm Harbor single wide mobile home.

    You're bringing back a lot of memories from when we were a young married couple starting out. We had to fix up, make do, do it ourselves, all with very little and borrowed money. We got an old house from my parents on the farm and I built on 2 bedrooms and a living room when I was 21. We lived in that house for 45 years and raised our 3 kids there. We renovated and finally had the house in nice shape but a year ago we had a fire totally destroy our home, we lost everything but the clothes we were wearing. We are days away from moving into our new home, the one we always dreamed about. Good luck, do the best you can, hope things work out for you.

    I've lived in a mobile home for about 16 years and have learned to make sure all outside repairs and mold are repaired and removed, before making the inside beautiful. Black insulation and rotten wood is not good. If you have mold in the wall no air purifier will make you safe inside. I had to spend 5k on my home for mold removal, then the repairs in the floors.
    Just make sure you make it safe for yourself and your family. Your family can have health problems from it. Just as a side note, my home didnt have much black mold but instead a white mold you couldn't see, just smell and after the mold testing the report said it was not safe for humans to inhabit, so be careful.
    I have enjoyed your remodel and have learned alot.

    I reframed my windows to fit a common size window that Lowe's carries. They are vinyl dual pane and far better than mobile home windows. I also have replaced all exterior screws with the hex head neoprene washer screws. You would not believe how much water is entering your house around those rusted exterior screws. Our $600 hardwood floor project turned into a $2,000 rebuild. 😂😂😂

    Awesome work. Owned 1993 single wide new. I started in 94 with my preventive maintenance. I caulked, insulated, foam sprayed and checked for leaks all the time. Cool sealed the roof. Cleaned gutters. Washed and waxed the exterior aluminum siding. replaced and caulked exterior screws. Every six months I inspected and touched up seals and joints. Water is your worst enemy. Keep up the good work and remember constant maintenance and you won’t have to worry about a re-do. My heart is with you. You love you home just like I loved mine. It will last!

      Trailers were meant to be cheap housing. That is what they were and the old ones still are. They could be better, but then the cost would be higher. Modern new trailers cost almost as much as a reasonable shape used house with land. The older ones can still be had for cheap. It is what it is. There are measures you can take to increase energy efficiency in older trailers, it's just a matter of how much you want to spend on it. The problem today is that housing costs too much due to all the code. The average person can't afford to buy a house or even a new "manufactured home". I spent one-thousand on my old trailer. It's paid for. No monthly mortgage payments. I can do with it what I want. If I want to burn it to the ground for the jollies, I'm out a grand.

    You two are working really hard and doing the best you can!!!!
    You all couldn't find some type of under lay or Osb board to put outside to box the insulation in, and began putting vinyl siding instead of that metal siding outside. Do 1 side of the side per payday to fully waterproof the home. That siding is your only defense against the weather!! Your home looks nice inside like those newer mobile homes. It just serms like you all need to research exterior materials that you can put on that outter side under that metal siding or under new vinyl siding!!!!

    I used the spray flex seal on my car's sunroof. The drain channel goes from it to the floor of the trunk. It is supposed to drain onto the road, it gets clogged from stuff on the road. It kept the trunk full of water and then it started leaking into the car. It filled the headliner and started coming out at the windshield and the light fixtures. I came out after it had rained to find about 3 inches of water in the floor board. After I got the water out, I went to Lowe's and got a can of Flex Seal. I sprayed it on and just had to add another layer about every 3 months because of the sunlight. I hated that car so many things were wrong with it. It was an Oldsmobile Aurora, 2001, it's a GM. All that wasn't as bad as the fact that it accelerated on it's own, either when you started so you had to turn it off and on until it stopped, or while you were driving it would do it. GM didn't want to talk to me. I don't have it anymore, I sent it to the junkyard so no one else would be almost killed by it.

    You two are amazing! I’ve been following y’all recently and you two give me hope that my husband and I can start to redo our double wide soon. And not kill each other.🤣 it’s a 1999 palm harbor and I want new windows, rip out carpeting and lay new flooring and get out the bathrooms and kitchen.

      well I'm with you Judy.... I just bought a 1977 single wide and as I walk around the outside i can find many soft spots. When I push on the metal, i see the screws move. I was hoping there was plywood behind it but I guess my studs must be rotten. WOW!!! Well I'm not sure if I should repair it, there also is a lot of repair in the inside that needs done (remodeling). It's a 1977 single-wide. I thought at least the bones were good but I'm finding out maybe not. I bought it with it's own land in Eugene Oregon, the lot is 60x100 so it's valuable property, I paid $68,000 but maybe I'm going to be spending $20,000 fixing it ????

      @@surveyguyor8958 My thought is, as your metal outside is covering everything, leave it alone. The living room ceiling in my trailer had broken boards. The boards thru out were small. If you have aluminum wiring, take it out now, not later. No electrician will touch that old wiring. Buy used items when you can, to help you save money. Fix the soft spots in the floors too.
      I'd take one room and make it liveable, then work on the rest. Good luck.

    Uuug...more water damage! It seems never-ending doesn't it? With Flex spray and the flashing tape that leak should be gone until you have time and money to attack it from the outside. The air filter in your room is important until you get it cleaned up permanently. Over 40 yrs ago, when Pop set up his mobile, he built a pole building over the whole thing with enough overhang to put a deck around two sides. I thought it was overkill at the time...not so sure now. Although we've had to replace a bathroom floor, kitchen floor and, the granddaughter's bedroom floor in the front, is getting iffy. All caused by plumbing leaks....so it's wonderful you're addressing the plumbing now. One step at a time and you'll have a nice, safe, solid home for years to come! You two work so well together. I love watching you :)

    As a fellow mobile home guy, just was curious if you ever thought to add some plastic to cover the walls/floors before adding the metal back on the outside; or on the inside if removing the sheetrock, etc
    Cardboard or even better old plastic signs works GREAT to help seal the house.
    Drastically reduces the power bill due to not having air leaks

    I have used that advantech flooring, it can withstand repeated wettings, be aware, if you ever have a problem with carpenter ants they love the advantech. If you use any of that blue foam or the pink form they also like to make tunnels in the foam. We do have problems with carpenter ants in the North and the Northeast. Oiled and treated wood helps prevent some of that which includes termites

    You Two are doing a great job
    I don’t know what You Two do for a living but You are doing Great here
    When You replace the insulation and removed the old I couldn’t believe what I saw.
    Palm Harbor Homes put aluminum siding on Your home and attached them to 1x6 slated every 2 or 3 feet and the insulation right up against it
    We repaired a single wide that had floor and wall damage from those leaky Mobil home windows
    Our Mobile home had OSB over the wall studs and then vinyl siding over that
    No moisture barrier between the siding and the vinyl
    OSB for almost the entire length had water damage
    I had Our Guy pull the entire side down to the studs and remove the windows
    We were lucky the only place We had drywall damage was beside the main door where the roof leaked.
    He replaced all the OSB and then I asked Him to install roofing paper over the OSB to act as a moisture barrier
    Watching You cut and replace floor boards with minimal gaps made mine look like a blind person with the shakes cut my plywood
    Thanks
    I went back today and You inspired this 68 year old to a better job
    Thank You
