New Layout and Tour - Salvaged Mobile Home Rebuild
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- We just finished framing our new walls and brought our plans into reality with this new and improved mobile home layout. We eliminated the long narrow hallway and gave the home a more open feel. We also focused on remodel costs, weight distribution, and creating functional, flowing spaces.
We are a DIY family trying to build a better life. We like to share projects and regular life updates. Our goals are to create a happy home, live healthy, develop our life skills, and see where our life leads us.

I agree with the other comments about a small window over the kitchen sink if possible. It does make such a difference to the person in the kitchen doing kitchen chores like cooking and dishes. Can’t wait to watch the progress!
Window in the kitchen you definitely need that!
The layout is good but the only thing I would suggest is a window in front of the kitchen sink, please think about it.
Good idea..I prefer looking out the window when doing dishes. It makes the job more enjoyable.
I prefer a dishwasher.
@TheThriftyWoodworker I have a dishwasher, but some things can't be put in it, and I do a lot of cooking, not a cup and bowl occasionally. There are compact dishwashers to put in small spaces or for those people that don't have much to wash...I like the one that is like a drawer type..kind of nifty!
100% need a kitchen window.
Yes a window. I don't have one in my little kitchen. I also don't have a dishwasher so i hand wash everything. It's boring not having a window to look out out.
I like the layout, the only change I'd make is a small window above the kitchen sink. I love looking out mine
I appreciate seeing people working smarter, not harder. 😊
Make the corner where the table will be…a banquet with storage under the seating…. Also, a kitchen window over the kitchen sink is so important!
I love the idea of a nook area with a banquette.
Perfect Idea.
Good job! Part of the reason we picked the layout of our own home, was that there are no hallways. No wasted space. I can't wait to see what you do next. I spend a lot of time in my kitchen and love looking out at my beautiful back yard. For that reason, I would have to have a nice window there. Perhaps, since this is your special place of rest, you don't intend to spend that much time in the kitchen. I love how practical you are!
The house I live in now has a kitchen with no window over the sink. It has a cutout over the sink through to the living room, I don't enjoy gazing into my living room. I really miss having the natural light and outside view a window would've provided. I know it was done to minimize plumbing cost but my kitchen layout could've been so much better with a different placement of the kitchen door to the deck, different cabinet and sink placement and sink above window. It would've meant less than 20 extra feet of plumbing total. My mom and I know it had to be a man that designed this place.
Your children are so well behaved. Sitting quietly and patiently waiting for you. The floor plan looks amazing
Great new layout! I would consider a window in the kitchen. It would add more natural light and help that space look bigger. Also would be nice for more ventilation when cooking.
We will be installing an exhaust hood over the range. The dining area window and living room will give the kitchen lighting during the day.
Love the layout! A kitchen window would make it less dark in that area. A built in kitchen banquette for your kitchen table would be nice. Oh so many possibilities! Love your design though. How exciting!
Yes, you both should” pat your self on the back” for your foresight and know,edge of renovating mobile homes, since you have accomplished many in the past.💕
Only two others, right?
Thank you for the tour. I was having a hard time imagining the layout while you were building the walls. I think you are making a great, well thought out use of space. The home is shaping up nicely.
Love the layout! I always think of all the extra running of plumbing etc. Keep it together as much as possible. Again, love it.
I love the layout. It’s unique, not cookie cutter. Can you, or might you put a window above the kitchen sink? It wouldn’t be as big as the other windows. I agree with you about putting a couch in front of the window. I don’t like standing on the couch in order to open a window or close the curtains. You can feel proud. It’s looks so good.
I heavily considered a window for the kitchen counter area, but opted against it for several reasons. It just wasn't going to work and wasn't worth it.
The layout is very cool! They say the kitchen is the heart of the home and you put it right in the center! I never liked the long dark narrow hallway in single wides either.
Love how Maverick knew you were wrapping up the video and jumped up so he could say "Bye". He is so cute 😍
I love watching your progress and ideas! I own an old mobile home, from 1979. It’s about 890 square feet, two bedroom two bath, with space for a full size washer/dryer in the hallway. We renovated it once and I absolutely loved living there- except it didn’t have central air and we are in Florida. Now it’s been gutted again and I wish we could start over again. It would make a great place for me to retire in. But it’s just not feasible right now. Watching your videos allows me to dream of the possibilities though. One thing I think makes a huge difference is the windows. Installing wood frame windows, as opposed to the typical mobile home windows, adds so much character.
I really like this layout. Not meant to be a spacious home. Very cozy.
I lived in a similar sized home with a very similar layout. I shared it with my husband and two sons, aged 10 and 4. The only bathroom was off the kitchen exactly the same way, and it was never a problem. We also didn’t have a window above the sink, and that never seemed to be a problem either. The one problem it did have was the kitchen being huge compared to the living room and bedrooms. If they would have made a galley style kitchen, it would have doubled our living room. We literally only had room for a couch and 1 chair there.
I think your layout is great. I appreciate that you made the living room and the bedrooms bigger. Good job of making a small home into a comfortable one with big enough bedrooms and living room area.
I like the layout. The only thing I would change is putting a window in the kitchen above the sink. It is going to be beautiful you guys.
Like your new layout a lot! My only suggestion is a window over the kitchen sink. :)
The most major mobile home manufacturer should hire you as a designer/consultant!🎉
My thoughts as well.
I like a window at the kitchen sink, but I trust you. 🙂
I love the layout! And no hallway is even better-I always hated them. You've put alot of thought into this home and it shows. Great job!
I love this layout. Cant wait to see all of the neat things you put in it🤩
Huge kitchens are a status symbol for most people, I'm amazed at how many HUGE kitchens go unused because it was just for looks and not for preparing gourmet meals. I know some people do cook extravagant meals, I did too when I was young, but simple and quick is good too.
We do all home cooked meals and have a small kitchen and it works great for us. I think I would get lost in a big kitchen.
I like the layout, especially not having a long dark hallway! Lots of comments about a window over the kitchen sink and bathroom door next to the kitchen but you have good reasons for your layout and it’s your house so do it your way! 👌💕👍
I love it. The galley kitchen is a great look for that type of home. Yes, pat yourself on the back. You're amazing, Doug 👏
Long time coming to see the final floor plan - I think it's an EXCELLENT Floor Plan. It makes so much sense in everything you explained and then some. I personally, like a galley kitchen. I have one now and it's my favorite of all the kitchens I've ever had, tons of cupboard space, enough counters & can reach everything. I know you don't like windows above a kitchen sink, but that is something I would have done; nice to see out the front while at the sink. I really like how you contained all the guts and major workings in the middle, brilliant idea! Nicely done!
Love the lay out of the mobile home. Very thoughtful. Much privacy with the bedrooms.😊
Everything looks so good. Love the new layout. You guys are awesome. Don't work too hard.
I have a very small house 950 sq ft. The layout is wonderful. My vacuum cord can reach the entire house yah. Good job
That all sounds great! Can't wait to watch the progress!
Amazing to see you do this almost from the ground up with completely new layout. I can't wait to see it completed :D
Oh so thrilled! You did good. I like the layout. Not crazy about the bath across from the kitchen, but functionally, it works. And really, with a good fan it should be fine. It's a small home so I doubt there'll be more than 2 people. However, still stumped on usage of this property. Is that next....telling us more about its purpose??
The new layout is great! For a single person, it’s a nice layout with plenty of room. I would use bedroom with the bay windows as my office. Your thoughtfulness and planning turned out great. Good job 👍.
AWESOME LAYOUT!!! I can’t wait to see more!!! 🥰🎶🌻❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I love it when you rerange everything to your liking you do the most wonderful layout for a house
You all did a wonderful job laying it all out .
you certainly figured everything out to be most efficient and simple without comprimising he functions of the appliances and utilities, most people wouldnt have done that, I like all the layout and everything you all have done to the home, I notice mavrick sits and waits to say his little "bye" at the end of the videos when he is there
Hi Eevee and Doug, a well thought out layout. Two good size bedrooms for the size of your home. Eliminating long narrow hallways was such a good idea.
The bathroom and kitchen in the middle of the home makes sense.
And Maverick waiting patiently for you to finish to say bye, made me smile
Hi, Thank you!
I love the layout esp the bedrooms on either end of the mobile home.
I like this layout! I like that the bedrooms are apart from each other. I love the bay window in the master bedroom. I so agree with you about the kitchen. Big kitchens are a waste of space. 👏👏👏👏Well done! ❤
The amount of light & intelligent design already in this early stage is amazing. Don't be surprised if this might inspire next gen modern mobile home designs as a manufacturer or two get wind of your channel.
Even a small window in the kitchen over the sink, natural light is always great, its odd without it, I've been in houses with no windows over kitchen sink it was so depressing.
That's how our kitchen is now, we have no window over our sink, and we're not even phased by it.
People are really tripping over this. I don't have a window in my kitchen. I have a window nearby. If I'm going to hang out and stare out a window, I'll just sit there. Drink my coffee by the window. So strange!
@@diyfferent did you finish your kitchen renovation and I missed it?
@@victoriaboerschinger2891 no
I can’t wait to see the new layout with everything finished
Can't stop watching. Such capable, quality work is WONDERFUL!
I love the design, it’s your vision and you made it happen! Great job!
I love your creative style when remodeling a home for your personal needs. You both are very talented, and so are your children!
WOW! I love the layout. I agree with Ashley about the tiny bedrooms, I don't like them either. I think a small kitchen window would be a healthy idea, due to cooking and if the food hits the burners, you now have to deal with smoke. Maverick is so sweet!!!
Every home should have a proper exhaust fan over the range. This home will have one too.
that's a brand new trailer now it's looking really nice great job Doug and Eevee have a great week y'all
Hello , I've been watching your progress. Wow, you have a lot of energy and are a very good framer. After seeing what you've gone through to get to this point, I will not be attempting a mobile home restoration.
I love your new layout, great ideas. I think the galley kitchen is a great idea. One thing, why. not put a window above the sink in the galley kitchen? I've seen your work you can easily do ti. I think it would make a very nice kitchen.
The layout is great. I love having the main bedroom up the end with the big windows. It makes great sense to put the second bedroom up the other end and keep it balanced. You did great and whoever gets to live in that home will really appreciate the extra space and better flow. Bye Maverick, have a great day. 😊😊😊
Doug and Eveey I love the layout. The large window in the bedroom is so nice.. I think you did an excellent design for the home and you also gave room for storage. I myself like to have a lot of natural light coming in. As always I did really like Mavericks bye! Bye Maverick! ♥️🙏🌴
Love, love, absolutely Love the layout! You used the space wisely and efficiently. Taking shape nicely! Awesome job, Doug and Eevee! Can't wait until the next video! Maverick was waiting so patiently so say his goodbye at the end. Good job Maverick! Bye!
Wonderful job! Such a well thought out plan. A 1000 times better floor plan.
I love the layout plan and looking forward to your progress, it's going to be amazing!
I absolutely love the layout,,y’all genius’s ❤
Evee did good on the floor plain. I think it is good use of space and loads of storage. Maybe Mobile home places will copy this one. Stan the man is slouching on the job. He was standing forever so I guess it is ok. Mav is so cut sitting in the chair, just chilling. Can not wait to see it finished. Bye Mav have fun. Peace!
Looks great. That’s a great layout. I like it. Has a good flow. Zen out man
Looks awesome! Love the layout ❤❤❤
Doug and Eevee. I love the layout. I believe the finished product will be so beautiful!. Keep. Doing. You. 🌻🌵🔨🎶
I do like the layout! I think the galley kitchen will look very sleek and modern!
I definitely agree with a shower instead of a tub. Old school thinking was if only 1 bath must have a tub. I’m building a mini home and putting one bathroom with only a shower also.
I've really enjoy watching your projects evolve with both your house and the mobile! I think the mobile home's new layout is much better than the original floorplan. My only thought is maybe you might consider at least a small window in that kitchen area as it's very dark there and its very small. A window will add light and help it not feel so much like a cave. If not a window looking outside to the yard then maybe consider a skylight in there. Love you channel! Can't wait to see the finished mobile as well as watching all your other projects! 😊
I agree with the kitchen sink window. Excellent planning and execution of the plan. My daughter has a 16/80 ft trailer. I’m 67 and have a large older farmhouse, my husbands grandfather built it. I dream of trading with my daughter and redoing her trailer. You will have a wonderful home, when you’re done. Love mini splits.
Good job. Well thought out. Great salvage.
I absolutely ❤the layout!!! I can't wait to see the finish project
AAA+ 👀 looking great! 🥰✅🌹❤️
I absolutely love this lay out, personally for myself, I don’t like excess cabinet space because I tend to store things I don’t use, and I am a kitchen sitter, I sit in my kitchen mostly because I don’t watch much television, I like to watch gardening videos or remodeling videos, or do word search and crossword too, and that is my favorite time, so a small table with 2-4 chairs would be great, also I love that you guys have the laundry by the back door as it is easy access to the cloths line, those mini splits should be plenty, I live in a mobile home in SE Ky, our 32 year old air only unit broke down 2 years ago, we bought a couple of window air conditioners and portable air unit, and we have found that we like them better, they keep our home cool and our utility bill down, and a lot of people will say you need 2 bathrooms well we have only one at the moment and we just say “ hey does anyone need in the restroom before I shower”, we make due and live fine. We all work and yes we could afford a bigger place but all we do basically is work, sleep, eat, rinse, repeat. How much room do you have to have to do that 🤣, we are just every day people living in a small, clean functional mobile home
Great layout ideas! Very original and just what you want 💯👍❤️❤️
Love the layout. I know it might take away from cabinet space, but a small window above the sink would be nice. ❤
I have had a dishwasher here for years. I never use it. Love the layout. So creative.... and especially love the little cheer we got at the end. Thanks, Maverick.
Yay! I love the layout! Let's see those walls go up.😀 I was hoping you would put a bedroom where the huge bank of windows are 😍 it's going to be so cool!
Y’all do so great with layouts. Your homes always end up being more functional than originally designed. I love the idea of the entry closet; not something I don’t think I’ve ever seen in a single wide.
Such a better layout than what manufacturers come up with.
Thank you for this my kids are redoing a mobile home and in trying to help them understand this process they couldn't quit get it so this has been a great help. Again Thank you
layout is awesome, you should put a small window above where the sink in the kitchen will be, you are doing an amazing job
my old house, i had my bedroom like that on the 2nd story with my bed up against the window. nothing but woods and yard and it was great! love what you guys are doing, it all makes sense! this is what makes you folks EXCELLENT builders and renovators!
I can’t wait for this!!!
I know, right? So fun.
The layout is great! Y’all are so talented.
The entry door is really cool, it fits the house perfectly, layout has a nice flow to it, well done!
bye Mavrick, until next time 😊
I love his byes. ❤
This will make a wonderful place for Belle. Large master bedroom on one end, the opposite bedroom will be converted into an artist studio. Oh the possibilities.
It sounds nice. I wish you had a window 🪟 in the kitchen in case of an emergency.
I'm looking forward to seeing it all come together.
God bless you guys.🍓🦋💕
There's a window right at the dining area which is part of the kitchen.
Oh ok I must have missed that one. Thank you for sharing. God bless you guys
Doug and Eevee, as always you’ve worked out every detail to perfection! You get better with every build y’all do! I love it! 💗💗💗
Nice design, it’s going to be a great home.
I think you did a great job with the layout. Yes the kitchen is small but galley kitchens are so efficient and it’s still open to the living room. Can’t wait to see it finished
The new layout is great ,yall.did a wonderful job .
Oh wow you guys, the layout is fantastic. Love,love,love it! Only thing I would even think of changing to this layout is a window over the kitchen sink. But that's a personal thing. I just absolutely love day dreaming & watching the birds, squrrels, & such out the window while washing dishes at the kitchen sink.
GREAT JOB!!! You both deserve that pat on the back for all the hard work & such a well thought out spacious, planned, & functional design.
I like the layout. Especially getting rid of the hallway. Kitchen will be convenient too.
Nice haircut! I agree with some other commenters that the kitchen area needs a window.
We had a bathroom off the kitchen and ended up not liking it because sometimes someone would leave the bzthroom and then people in the kitchen would get a whiff of sticky air.
We don't have that problem. We installed an exhaust fan for moisture and odors (if needed). The bathroom door has to open to some room somewhere.
I like the layout! Congratulations on all the hard work! One thing about the water heater and water pump. We built a shelf over the water heater and installed the pump over it. Perfect fit.
Like the layout, but I agree that a window in front of the sink would be nice.
YOU ARE BRILLIANT!!! Love the Closet in the middle of the closet and entry to kitchen!! I do agree a 'lil~~window over the kitchen sink!! You know for beautiful trees AND DAYDREAMING..... 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Sounds like a really good layout, definately DIYfferent!
WOW, I LOVE IT ❤!! I’ve been waiting to see what the layout was going to be & I’m not disappointed one bit!! Very wise & creative use of space, & I agree with your reasons for making some things smaller, others bigger, etc. NO long ‘MH Hallway’ which I agree is a waste of space. You’ve utilized literally every inch of space, I really like that. Big pats on your backs- job well done!! 👏🏻
Wait, you designed the home the way you wanted it after putting in lots of thought. What are you thinking. Don’t you know the internet knows what you want better tan you do. Great job.
😂
Going to be great! Love the layout, thanks for sharing ❤Maverick is a doll
This is going to be brilliant when it's done
We hope so!
Great floor plan. I agree hallways are waste of space and you solve that problem. Can’t wait to see it done .
I would put mirror tin on them windows. That way you can still see out ,but no body can see in. Pus it will not cost a lot to do.
