Building An Addition To A Mobile Home - Start To Finish : E026 / BC Renovation Magazine

- Опубліковано 29 чер 2019
- In this video we do a complete time lapse sequence of the construction process of building an addition to a single wide mobile home, start to finish.
In construction project management the critical path method is a tool that project managers use to effectively and economically see a project to its completion, in an orderly and time efficient manner. This video shows what that path looks like.
This project was featured on this channel previously in a before and after video. Not only was this addition made but also a full renovation of the existing, old mobile home.
To see the full scope of this project check out the before and after video at: • Before And After Of In...

Damn Fantastic! I’ve always wanted to do this to my older mobile home. people telling me I’m crazy and say to just don’t do it to a trailer it’s not worth it and buy a new one well the thing is is I own this place so why not fix it up and make it look like how I want it instead of buying a place and paying up to 40 years on it... so I’ll just fix up what I have and make it look just as good as something brand new like you did in the video. Great work again
TRX VLOGGER, when I bought that place a lot of people thought I was nuts, including some of my family and friends. But I had studied the local market for these and understood the possibilities. I had a vision and I pursued it. It worked out very well for me. Those same people that kind of made fun of me at the start were saying "Hey, I would like to live in a home like this" when it was all done. It even prompted one woman I know to sell her site built home and buy one of these. She banked a lot of money in the 'down-sizing' process. Go for it! :-) Thanks for watching and commenting.
I did a similar project years ago and was called crazy, too! When it was finished, I actually had people who drove by and stopped to comment on how beautiful it was...and I did it for a fraction of the cost of buying a new home!🙂
@@74dartman13 I'm doing renovations right now on a 1971 Champion. EVERYTHING was bad in it, but the great thing is, the materials We have in Todays market are cost friendly and lasts really well when done right!
Very well said, that's exactly how I feel. I don't not want to start over making payments for 30 years at the age of 52.
Beautiful, so pleased to see a craftsman take the highroad and do it right. I've been burnt by craftsman that don't care about quality of work, just get it done and collect the money. Thank you, encouraging to know people like you are out there.
Sandra and Del, thank you for your very kind comments. I appreciate you watching.
Best I’ve seen in trailer addition videos. I’ve watched this several times. Thank you sir for your time and knowledge!
Incredible transformation. I loved seeing that old mobile home morph into something wonderful!
John, thank you! :-)
I just purchased my 1st piece of land that came with a mobile home..and this video showed me alot of what me and my wife have planned...thank you so much for this upload
How did u make out with that? I’m going to purchase some land or find a mobile home that is on the Land
Joey, that's awesome. Owning your own land is the best way to do these.
I never would have guessed that this could be done to a mobile home. Glad that this mobile home got an awesome second life. This home deserves a name plaque mounted outdoors. "Three Gables" perhaps. Incredible transformation!!!
big2868, thanks for watching and commenting! :-)
big2868, when we renovate these homes we like to make them look and feel like cottages instead of mobile homes. Many cottages are named, and we did consider that for this home. What came to mind was "Green Gables" as in "Anne of..." We did another one that sat perched high on a corner lot with a commanding view of the park. We thought about "Eagles Nest" for that one. :-) All in good fun, and a bit whimsical.
big2868, Anne of Green Gables is a favourite in our home, too. The 3 movie box set sits on our shelf as well (VCR cassettes). :-)
Anything can be done, but many states have laws against adding additions to an existing mobile home unless the home sits on a permanent foundation. Where I live, if the home rests on pillars (cribs), any addition, including a deck has to be freestanding so both the original house and the addition can move independently.
This is mind blowing!! never seen a work done like this before. You guys are awesome . Where are you guys located?
The exterior transformation is awesome! The interior looks very attractive. You do such nice work.
Thanks, Wolf. As always, your comments are very much appreciated. Thanks for watching. :-)
Perhaps the most beautiful mobile home on the internet. The one you renovated a few years ago.
Miriam, thank you! :-)
Congrats, I am a general contractor, I enjoyed watching this video and learned a lot from it too. Thanks
bao, thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated. :-)
This is absolutely gorgeous work! Incredible to see an old tear down looking mobile home turning into a beautiful full sized home.
Michael, thank you. 🙂
You and your family have done an OUTSTANDING job reminding your home.
Wow Amazing!!! I’m almost 50 years old and have had a set back or 2 in life… I’m trying to get myself set up for retirement… I got this idea to put a mobile home on my family’s property… your video has just shown me that I can build a great home with very little money… thanks for sharing!!!!
I am a architectural designer and you sure do great work. I appreciate good craftsmanship.

Is there a way a can buy a house plan from you
@@BCRenovationMagazine
Awesome
Congratulations on a fine job! Very well constructed & well insulated! A well thought out plan, every aspect obviously 🙄 thought of!😉👍🏻 again congratulations!
A beautiful and functional transformation. Mobile homes can have a base reputation, I’ve never thought they aren’t nice. This proves it.
Sandra, thank you. 🙂
Great job.... the Father in Heaven definitely gave u a talent.
Thank you, Shuga. May the work of our hands be a blessing upon all those that we come into contact with. :-) Thanks for watching and commenting.
Or who mentor or teacher. But ok
Very nice to see someone work on mobile home.. 2019 I spent 15,000 on repairs to my mobile home.
James, mobile homes are a great way to get into a nice home at reasonable cost. Thanks for watching and for your comment! :-)
Like other people have said this is the first time I've seen this much work go into a mobile home edition basically converting it to a modular home or even a regular looking home. You guys did an awesome job!
Dave D, thank you! I appreciate you watching and commenting.
First time I’ve ever seen a mobile home remodel. Great job
Jeff, thanks for watching. Appreciate your comment. :-)
Great job! I should have filmed my double wide renovation. I bought a trashed double wide for $9,000 and gutted and completely rebuilt it. It looks brand new now and we have no mortgage!
Hi, Scott. Thank you. I love to hear stories like yours! 🙂 If I may ask, where are you located?
FTM fuk the mortgage
Clovis, California
This was so amazingly satisfying to watch ., I loved the way it turned out. Thank you all so much for sharing. Have a blessed weekend darlings 🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽♥️and omg the mountains and lake was a beautiful scenery
Markell, I am so glad that you enjoyed the video. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment. Blessings to you as well. :-)
I love people who can make something great out of nothing!
Thank you, Robert. For me, it is an awful lot of fun. I really enjoy it! Thanks for watching and commenting. :-)
I absolutely love that you made it look like a real home. Not just a double wide. Its so cozy and welcoming now!
Vera Mon, thank you. We try to make these homes look like little cottages, to get away from the mobile home look. Thanks for watching and commenting! :-)
It's funny by adding an extra 300 square feet how much bigger that house is inside now and all the rooms flow together nicely I am really impressed by what a nice job you guys did.
Hello, Jason. Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes, those extra square feet really gave the home a more spacious feel. The secret to maximizing square footage is minimizing hallway space, which we tried to do here.
I have been thinking about throwing away my single Wide mobile home, I thought it was impossible to make an addition that would satisfy me, but after watching your video I have once again renewed my hopes of being able to modify my house and make it this beautiful. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I would like to know how you solved the AC problem under the floor, how did you run the ducts to the ceiling?
Hell, if you don’t want it I’ll take it, I’ve been looking for a free single wife to butt up to the back of mine.. 😂
I’m currently remodeling my home to do something similar to my home, great detail upload.. thanks for sharing this wonderful job.
Torya, thank you for watching and commenting. All the best to you on your project. :-)
Good luck on your project! This is truly an inspiring video!
This is so well designed and made…I’m so impressed!
Everything looks very nice. Huge improvement. I know a little bit about how much work is required. Nothing like the satisfaction of completing a mostly DIY project. Excellent work.
Thanks, George. Yes, it is a lot of work, but very rewarding. I really enjoy doing these projects. Thanks for watching and commenting. :-)
This project turned out beautifully.
Tina Marie, thank you! Appreciate you watching and commenting. :-)
I'm researching for a "retirement" mobile home down in Florida. I'm looking for a place that's needs some work & you've inspired me to think more addition/remodel than just "cosmetic." Well done & thank you!!
Hello, Kenneth. Thank you for watching! :-)
I thought about a buying a mobile home when I lived there until I saw the condition of most when a tropical storm (let alone a hurricane) came through and then decided to go with bricks.
You need to change your name from BC Renovation to The Home Wizard, because you create magic. Brilliant work.
Julie Army Mom, thank you for your kind comment. :-) I appreciate you watching!
What an excellent job you did! Impressive!
Mr Rene, thank you! Appreciate you watching and commenting. :-)
Looks amazing man, very well done! Love the 3-tiered gable roof!
Thanks, Steve! :-)
FanFreakinTastic!!! Very impressed with the work and the attention to detail on this home. Thank you!
LHASA APSO3, thank you for watching and commenting!
WOW! What a beautiful home it is now... Wish this was mine, and it was here! You must be so proud! The absolute only thing I would change, is there would be no carpet anywhere... But that's always a personal preference, it's not bad, nor is it good, it's just what each family prefers...
Hello, Darlene. Thanks for watching and for your nice comments. I appreciate it.
We are working on another project now. It is right across the street from this one. It is going to be white shaker cabinets and no carpets. :-)
Check it out here: ua-cam.com/play/PLxHwKqX3SqxgHHTP0tuvTiF9bUCobKrkU.html
Wow just beautiful, I currently own an older single wide with a slight domed roof. I wanted to put a new gable roof and extend it over to make a covered porch but was told by township that it cannot be done. They said the structural frame was not strong enough. They wanted me to basically make a carport over the entire structure. It would never look as nice, it would just look like a trailer under a carport. You did an amazing job.
In pure someone could restructure the exterior walls with 2×4 or 2×6 that way you can hut the roof you want!
Hello, wlopez7111. Thanks for watching and for your comments. Yes, it seems that not all building authorities would approve of this. Others have commented similarly. Where we are additions like this are a common occurrence. In fact, it is harder to find a mobile home in original condition without an addition than with.
Finally a really nice video done. Doesn't look like add-on
Raronhiarakwas, thank you for your kind comment, and for watching. I appreciate it! :-) We try to make these homes look and feel like little cottages.
Truly beautiful craftsmanship. This renovation turned a neglected mobile home into a home. Thanks for sharing.
Edward, thank you! Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it! :-)
Wow! Just watched again. What a fantastic job. Much, planning, time and labor. A tremendous finished product. Much to be proud of! I'm sure the owners were happy with their purchase and with the fact they can watch their home being built on UA-cam 😉
Hello, J B. Thank you for your kind comments. I appreciate them. 🙂 Yes, these projects on this scale are a lot of work, that's for sure.
My bf and I are planning on doing this! We needed this thank you
Me too. I love seeing mobile homes being used as a starter point.
Delilah, thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. You guys can do this. Go for it! :-)
cr1m203, mobile homes are a great starting point. Thanks for watching and commenting. :-)
You're a bad man!!! Awesome work and team.
Lawrence, LOL :-). Thanks!
What a lovely home you created!!
BCRM - Thank you for posting that amazing and informative video showing the very clear constrution stages for the reno! You are an amazing contractor, craftsman and craftswomen (your daughte!) who is getting the best training ever! On top of that, you do your own building drawings...that is why the framing and floor structure, etc. looks like you know what you are doing!!! On top of that you are located in BC. What a combination!!! I have even learned a lot by your clear responses to all those questions! That is amazing that you have taken the time to do that. Keep up the great work and wonderful, calm and patient attitude to your fine work and all those viewer's questions with pretty sharp answers! Cheers, Michael (from North Vancouver, BC ...where it used to snow more! Lol!!!)
Michael, thank you for you kind comments! I really appreciate it. Thanks for watching. All the best to you out there. I know that life is pretty upside down right now.
Thanks for the video, this is inspirational. I was thinking of a way to add on and now I have a starting point.
TMC, I'm glad that you liked the video. Thanks for watching and commenting. :-)
What an magnificent Job!! This so gave mines hope

Absolutely FANTASTIC, !!!!!!!!!!!!
I love your art...you are not a contractor...you are an artist. What a job !!!!!!!!!!!
I hope that I’ll find someone like you, when I get to similar project here in California.
willie, thanks for watching and commenting. I am not unique in what I do here. There are lots of people that can do this. You just have to find them. :-) I appreciate your very kind comment.
i really liked the entire video. nice and easy and eye appealing. i found myself glued to the screen. lol
Thank you, Gretchen. Appreciate you watching and commenting. :-)
Great job? U r a BLESSED man. Keep up the good work
Melvin, thank you! :-)
This home is beautiful. I never would have known it was a mobile home if you didn’t show the skirting on it.
Thank you, Jackie. We try really hard to turn these little homes into something that looks and feels more like a cottage than a mobile home. Thanks for watching. :-)
That was great. You now have a very beautiful home 🏡. Enjoy for many years.
Thank you, Jimmy.
Wow! You are a great craftsman, including your crew. I'm impressed. Wish you worked in my neck of the woods!
Jodie, thanks for watching and for your kind comment. :-)
Now that looks good. I like it.
Unfinished Business, thanks! :-)
FINALLY A GORGEOUS REMODEL👍👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️
Nice work! If you didn’t know it was a mobile home it looks like a traditional stick built house. Nice!
HankHill757, thanks for watching and commenting. Our goal when we do these projects is to make them look like little cottages. :-)
Glad to see someone else taking on a project like me lol only I took two single wides and tied them together
John, I would love to see / hear more about your project. Can you tell us more? Do you have a UA-cam channel? Thanks for watching. :-)
BC Renovation Magazine no I don't have a channel sorry it's been a fun project wish I knew how to set up to where I could post pics atleast
John, if you can figure out a way to share your project with us please get back to me. I am really interested in seeing what someone else that is as 'crazy' as me is doing! :-)
John, I came to YT looking for that very idea that popped into my head yesterday. Get it brother I'd love to see it in progress. 👊
Beautiful!! I live in a single wide home myself and would love to make it into a double wide one day. It’s been two years since I paid off my mobile home and I love not having a house payment.
Do you have any companies you recommend in San Antonio area that would do a great job like you.
Also, how much was this renovation?
Awesome job!! 🙂
Hi, sarah. Thanks for watching and commenting. Congratulations on being mortgage free! :-) The freedom that comes with that is a good feeling. We are in western Canada. Unfortunately, I don't know of anyone in San Antonio doing work like this. As far as costs go, we live in an area that has very expensive housing. We don't disclose our costs for personal reasons, but I can tell you that after the renovation was done we sold this home for $230,000 Canadian dollars. We made a nice profit on it. :-) That was two years ago and the folks that bought it could turn around and sell it now for a profit.
That came out beautiful!
Looks like a band new home. Turn out great.U can really tell u care about your work no hack job there everything looks very straight and true.
Thanks, Jason. :-)
Okay I stand corrected my first comment was that the video was b.s now I see you work to make the single wide to double wide and it is a very nice remodel.
Terrell Man, thank you. You, sir, are a gentleman. All the best to you.
Lot's of work! Very nice job!!
Hello, Cassie. Yes, this was a pretty big project. We owned this property for about a year. The actual construction process of building the addition and renovating the original unit was about 8 months. The rest of the time was taken up with getting approvals, permits and conveyance. Thanks for watching and commenting. :-)
I love this man, great job.
What an amazing transformation!!!

beautiful work god bless all the efforts :D

I would like to see insulation and weather proofing. And how the windows were flashed but yeah! Cool build!!! I love that it's a family affair!
Excellent work. Your diligence in addressing all the issues will be realized everyday. Beautiful finished product.
vivaldi123, thanks for watching, and your comment. Much appreciated! :-)
These would be perfect rentals ❤
Cody, that is an interesting comment. When we buy one of these homes to renovate we always take into consideration what we would do if we couldn't sell one and got stuck with it. We prefer to buy homes in parks that permit rentals, so if a home didn't sell Plan B would be to rent it out.
While we are not looking to be landlords, it would be a viable option if it came down to that. In our area, we can get the same amount of rent for a home like this as people are getting with 3-4 times the investment that we have in one of these. I have analyzed this a few times and have come up with a consistent cash on cash (we don't finance our properties) rate of return of about 11% on one of these as a rental. I wish all of my investments consistently paid that well! But, we prefer to take the capital gain and put that money to work.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Excellent work and video
Love what you've done. Fantastic! 👍🏻🇺🇸
Jessi, thank you! 🙂
This is absolutely beautiful!! I’m in love with it🥰
Janice, thank you! 🙂 I'm glad that you like it.
I love watching this - It's probably my most watched video. Question about the original roof trusses. Are they 2x4 construction and did you have to add support to them before you hung them to the header beam? I want to do this same thing but my trusses are 2x2. Any recommendations? And by the way.....thank you so much for keeping these comments up to date and for continuing to share your knowledge!
Gina, thank you for watching our videos and for commenting. I really appreciate it and am glad that you enjoy them. :-)
The roof trusses in this home were a combination of 2x3 and 2x4. The framing for the new roof really did not add that much weight. It is kind of difficult to explain, but 75% of the weight of the roof over the old original unit is on the exterior wall between the original home and the addition, distributed between the original wall studs and new beams. The load is then distributed to the floor joists, the steel beam under the floor joists and ultimately to the cribs.
If you have 2x2 rafters then some support may have to be added. You would have to consult with a structural engineer in your area for advice on that, and code compliance for your building jurisdiction.
Outstanding job!!!
Joelee, thank you! :-)
How can I get this BLUEPRINT of the addition, can I purchase a copy?
The minute I heard the voice I knew it was Shannon. Sir you are fantastic! really appreciate what you do and can say as a contractor myself, I never stop learning from you. Thank you and God Bless!

RC, thanks for watching and commenting. :-)
You guys are right on top of it. Looks great. I'm curious to know how you fastened the soffit ceiling over the deck area
Thomas, thanks! Appreciate you watching and commenting. :-)
The soffit panels are aluminum. These panels are attached to 1x4 purlins screwed to the joists. The panels are attached to the purlins using a combination of 1-1/4" 18 guage galvanized staples and #8 x 1" plated screws.
@@BCRenovationMagazine Yes, thanks for the comeback. House I bought 2 yrs. ago was done very poorly. Everything. I replaced the front porch ceiling this summer, used 1/2" x 3" ply rips for purlins and 1- 1/2" aluminum j channel on perimeters. I could go on.
Wow nice job! Had to look up "roffters" though 😂
Dodd, thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it! "Roffters" :-) Every once in a while my Canadian accent comes through. :-)
Thank you so much for this lesson. Great photography, valuable information given with good anecdotal reference. I am really pleased to see you working with your daughter.
