I just want to say that I am so flabbergasted by the agility, strength, and sense of balance that both Doug and Ashley bring to this work. As an old man with arthritis, it's amazing to watch Doug climb a ladder carrying a metal roofing sheet, walk nimbly across a roof stepping only on secure spots, and then drop into a full squat while reaching across to put in a screw several feet away. If there were a DIY Olympics, you two would be serious contenders for the gold!
Suggestion, maybe you could pull the bus close to the trailer and put all your prepped sheets on top, then just lift them up on the roof from there instead of climbing up and down the ladder.
I used to call that 'training'.
I can't wait to see the paint color, I'm hoping for some color.... I still remember the little red trailer.. lol
Doug and Ashley please don't change a thing. I like you just the way you are. You don't need fancy clothes or hair.
The hat and long sleeved shirt is to prevent sun damage to their skin. I garden a lot. I wear a hat, gloves, jeans, and long sleeved shirts. I work in the morning from 6 to 10 am. Afternoons from 2:30 - 3 pm till I can't see! I take breaks for heat during the day. And sometimes, a change in gear can lift your spirits! Have a really good day😊
They both are very fair skinned and the Florida summer sun is no joke. I got a really bad sunburn as a kid one summer. It was lobster red in color. I don’t do the long sleeve or hat bit, hats are horrible for me. They keep to much heat in.
I totally agree 👍🏻😊
I completely agree. Don’t change a thing.
Bye Maverick! Hope you had a fun day exploring the yard & playimg with the cat!
Doug & Ashley, you did a professional job on that roof. So precise. Love the color choice also.
It's looking so good! So glad you guys are breathing new life in the old mobile home!
Doug, Ashley, your video work is about the best on UA-cam. The added content like roof load rating info is also very professional. Sets your channel apart for sure.
That is the best investment you could have made. Installed like a Pro!!!
I like the prideful professional attitude you have as a builder. I’d definitely buy your Mobil home rebuild.
The roof is already looking good. I’ll just be glad when it’s done and you don’t have to walk around up there anymore. Makes me nervous. I’ll confess to fast forwarding a little bit here and there. 🙃🙂
Doug, as a previous metal roof salesman, you are correct on the overlap.
Love Ashley's comparison of the roof sides: "ewww"....."ahhhh" Yup, lady of few words, very succinct. LOL
Doug you are doing a great job,more people construction workers should be like you,you take pride in your work.
Great choice of color, it will reflect the sunlight off the roof, and will help keep the house cooler. I love watching you and Ashley working together and figuring how to solve problems.
What a difference a new roof has made..you both saw potential where others didn't, win-win for Doug and Ashley 🎉
You two are the dynamic duo in home renovation. Doug in his black turtle neck and Ashley with the lovely bangs also make you the cutest.
I am so surprised the home was essentially condemned and you guys breathed new life in those old bones. Bravo👏 well done.
I would love to live in something that Doug and Ashley have reconstructed.
Only 10 minutes in and it’s looking fabulous. Take care in that Florida sunshine. 🌞
This is one of the best decisions you both have made! Such a beautiful improvement to this home!
That little home is going to be better than it was brand new. Sometimes you can recycle reuse! Whoever lives there will be happy with it.
Ashley,”Ewww,Ahhh!”That was awesome.
It really looks great! Your patience and detailed work is paying off.
I have watched you IMPROVE every home you have lived in or owned. It’s satisfying to see you put care and pride of ownership in every project from customizing the bus, refinishing a mirror for Belle’s room, to refurbishing this mobile home. You do it thoughtfully, patiently and beautifully. ❤ 👍 good job
I think you and Ashley are doing a wonderful job
I had to look twice no green fshirt 'what happened?' Haha. Roof looks damn good and I think metal roof is real tidy looking which is why I have in on my workshop. I have said before but Belle and Maverick are so well behaved they really are a credit to you both.
You must truly be living life right. I have never done metal roofing on a day without wind gusting. That is really looking great
Love seeing ya’ll accomplish what you set out to do. Ya’ll never disappoint.
The roof is looking great you guys , what a remarkable improvement over the previous roof , that place is looking super
I am thankful you aren't dealing with the wind. Great job, guys!
Both my wife and I really enjoyed this video and Doug’s sense of humor with the exhaust crack! 😂😂
It’s amazing how much those panels can stretch as you go. It is looking so good! Especially the screw lines 😍! Even professionals wouldn’t make that cut look as good as you did Doug!
Keep up the progress! It’s gonna feel so good to have that covered!

The roof is looking
Great.Nice job
Doug&Ashley
Setting a quitting time is good. For mental and physical health.
Good Morning! Doug and Ashley you work so hard. The roof is really shaping up. Keep. Doing You. 🌻🌵🎶🔨
That dilapidated old mobile home is slowly looking so nice - step by step - and lots of fun to see it come together. Your work is quite an inspiration! Thank you for sharing ❤
Beautiful transformation. Love the way you saved the old roof and so much work.
The different angles you do while filming makes watching the video enjoyable. The roof looks so nice and clean! Getting closer to being done!
Almost half way done! That color is so nice. 👍🏼🙂
As usual, it's going to look so good when it's finished!
What a great team you are! I just love watching you. Been with you since Maverick was an infant and it's been a wonderful ride. Thanks so much for sharing your lives with us. Hugs to all!
Doug and Ashley, the roof is looking good! You never cease to amaze me Doug! You have the best ideas and they work perfectly for you! This is one reason why I LOVE watching your videos! You two do what’s good for you and some of your ideas could be used by other DIYers. Keep up the great work!💕
😊 that little voice in the background "bye" melts my heart.

I am always amazed at how Doug can just walk up a ladder with a load and step off so effortlessly. pre drilling was a good idea.
Good Job guys, maybe, as there is no wind maybe put a few sheets up on the roof instead of climbing up & down the ladder. Thank you Ashley, you work all day on the roof, go home feed youre family, get kids ready for bed, then when its time to settle for the night have to edit video. Soo thanks Ashley. x x
Too heavy to lift two sheets at a time one-handed up the ladder. It's just better to bring up one at a time :)
Not a disparaging remark, but Doug has an interesting choice in apparel. My first thought was either an orthodox priest or a beatnik. I’m leaning towards the latter where he sits around sipping homemade wine, listening to avant- guard jazz, and snapping his fingers in approval of spoken poetry. 😎 Cool, man!
I think that may be a special shirt that protects against sunburn, just a guess on my part.
Well you two have done it again. Looks great!!!! Always done like a pro! Doug you n Ashley are Pros!
You take such care Doug in all the work you do, Ashley you are a perfect wife for Doug you two work as such a great team. ❤
I agree with Roadnottaken27. you are special and unique that's why a lot of people love you. Doug and Ashley you are very natural ❤❤❤
Moring doug n Ashley !the color is good color .your both doing good on roof n all of the trailer. Its all looking great.
You do better work than a professional! Super job!
That roof looks amazing!! You are turning such a worn out trailer into a lovely home! People should be inspired!
Love listening to all the birds in your videos.
You two chose the perfect color: Black or dark colors absorbs the heat, white reflects the heat but looks messy quickly. Gray is still light enough to reflect and will look nice in the long run. Y’all always make great decisions 😊
Holy moly that vent placement was perfect! And those cuts! Chefs kiss perfect! That is looking amazing 👏 🤩 I'm getting so excited for you guys!
Going to look great when it’s finished, well done xx
Love the color choice!❤great job❤
Wow !!...The roof is looking amazing.......The panels make such a difference.....Great job guys !! You two make an awesome team.
I've watched you two do so many roofs and it never gets old. You're getting faster and faster.
Hi guys
Thank you for sharing
Tell the kids hi
GOD bless you and your beautiful family
Your roof is looking so good. Don’t let the turkeys get you down about anything… clothing,the way you work,raise children… OMGoodness!
You two are such a power couple. Great team work. 👍🏼😊
Doug you look great with your new threads and shoes. 😊😊😊
Love the gray roof, perfect for Florida sun. Nice job Doug and Ashley as usual!
Well Doug I got to say I think you and me are the only one who pre-drilled our roof sheets that's the best way to go brother just keep it up that's good looks good you should measure from way down to the other end to see if you can keep them straight
Another UA-camr in Canada did it that way about a year and a half, maybe two years ago. "The Outsider" and his father built a family cabin that is Most Excellent ♥️ He also has pop-up cabin plans for a mini-cabin. So worth a good look!
Glad I have been installing it the correct way all this time lol. So many people won't read instructions and rather believe youtube on how to do it wrong. There are a few that do it correct like yourselves. Thanks for sharing.
Looking good! You seem a lot happier now than you were when you started the roof. Great to see. ❤
It looks so good Doug and Ashley and kids.. the cap for me was the roughest. Just measure on the metal where the edge of the cap will set and find some nice rubber gripping shoes. And have all that you need, pieces and screws. You don’t want to get your feet wet. Rug or cardboard to clean your shoes off and set up on the sunny side,, the sunny side of life!! The best is when it rains. So proud you jumped on this project.it’s exciting, challenging and fuel for your soul. Looking at it done will be so satisfying.. a jack of all trades and a master of none. Keep practicing you’ll get a diploma in them all..❤❤❤❤❤
It's lovely to see the sunshine! Not much in England yet.
Wow how did you hear me in future? I had just said to myself “wow the are only overlapping one”. And you said everyone says we do this wrong. Thanks for explaining.
Doug and Ashley You are such a cute couple and very hard working and the roof is looking really good and I do love the yard❤️🇨🇦
The roof is looking really good. Great job guys. Keep up the good work. Be safe God bless.
I'm worn out from going up and down the ladder with Doug. The roof is looking great.
Good morning, Doug and Ashley. It's looking great guys. Keep on going.😊
This was so interesting to watch. Love the way you explain everything along the way. The roof is looking beautiful. Enjoyed hearing the cardinal singing in the background. They have such a lovely song. Love watching the kitty, so cute. Looking forward to seeing your work on the remainder of the roof. The mobile home is going to be like brand new when you guys are done.
New Roof New Shirt! You're really progressing! I'm learning so much from you guys. Nice having the drip edge.
Great job! It really looks great and such an improvement! Ashley, you’re the best partner and helper! Doug wouldn’t get so much accomplished without you beside him. Hi Belle and Maverick! ❤
The new roof looks great! Y'all did a great job on it.
Y'all take care.
The new roof is looking fantastic!!! 🥰❤️🏡❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
The matte grey looks fantastic.❤❤
Great job !!👍👍👍👍👍
The roof is looking Good! Best not to work late, when you get tire after a long day accidents are more likely to happen. I heard Maverick in the back round at the end, bye Maverick!
I agree with you! I am so glad they both stopped before a misstep happened
Doug and Ashley great job! The roof looks fantastic. Can't wait to see more. You both always look so healthy. Bye Maverick! 😊🌴
Looks so nice Doug you two are awesome 😎✌️
All in the prep!!! Great Job!!!
The roof looks great so far! I'm loving the progress.❤
Wow, the new roof really transforms the trailer already. Can't wait to see what color you guys will paint the outside of it. Great job guys. Have a blessed week.
You do such a great job and have a such a hat work ethic. Really enjoy watching you and your wife working together. ❤
Such a HUGE difference … like night and day! You guys are awesome!
The roof looks great so far……such an improvement!! Keep up the good work and stay safe!
The roof is looking so awesome. It seemed to go on quite well with out too many issues. You should be very proud of the great job you are doing. There’s nothing that you can’t solve when it comes to fixing the house better than ever. A very productive day. 😊😊😊
👍🏻👍🏻❤️🇺🇸love it! I put the same color metal on our 1972 Lancer mh in 2006 after hurricane Rita hit us in Jasper TX. Still going strong👍🏻👍🏻
Love this trailer rehab! I find your videos so relaxing. The roof looks great!
I am a fan of Doug's puns.
Hi Ashley and Doug, hardworking going up and down the ladder but so worth it. The new roof look’s great, nice colour choice.
The roof looks great! Teamwork makes the dream work!
Doug, you are very correct on the overlap. Keep up the great videos guys!
The panels look really good. All the pre-work was well worth the end result. I look forward to seeing this roof finished so you can move forward on the remaining exterior. Work on the inside as the weather gets hot & steamy.
So you know I came for the knowledge, and I love yalls channel. And I want a metal roof.
Such a major improvement. Looks beautiful
what a difference, well done guys. hope you are all well hugsx
