Bedroom Wall Studs ROTTED OUT // Mobile Home Renovation

🔷 ABOUT US 🔷
We're a DIY family building our "forever homestead" from 15 acres of raw undeveloped land in Tennessee. All of our content is family friendly and safe for everyone to enjoy.

In today's video we are working in our master bedroom renovation of our 1988 Palm Harbor 14 x 70 single wide mobile home. We are rebuilding and repairing a large part of our exterior wall and window framing. This section of the wall had water damage causing the wall studs and joists to rot out. We are rebuilding the exterior wall completely. Let's go!

When it first came on, the stripes on the “feral”. child’s shirt made it look like he was duct taped to the wall. And if you haven’t watched Sam & Angela before, don’t be offended please, they lovingly refer to their boys as “feral children”. 💗💗💗Much love from SC

I was on Youtube and opened my channel to practice some songs before I record them for the channel. Wait, what is this? a Green Acre Homestead video, my plans will have to wait, they come first!

🤣😂After a hard day's work, husband and I sitting in back yard, wiggling our sore feet to try to make them stop hurting. He heard what I was watching and asked, "Do you ever stop thinking about work"? I told him yeah, when I'm asleep!🤣 Shared with him how very helpful it is to watch and learn new things! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and time to teach us DIYers easier ways of doing hard jobs! Have an awesome weekend!

probably be a good idea to patch those holes up in the outer wall, either glue a little piece of new outer wall againt the inside or stick a few layers of aluminium tape over them for now

And the feral child on the ladder!! Don’t you love it, start a project and it becomes the money pit. I love your perseverance. I’m so excited to see the finished project. Doug and Ashley are rebuilding theirs one piece at a time.

In the early 70s as a teenager I actually worked in the original palm harbor manufacturing plant. It was actually called national homes back then and it was the only plant they had. It’s called palm harbor because the plant was located at the corner of US hwy. 19 and curlew road in palm harbor Florida.

i was hoping you liked the bit holder and that it helped you in some way. it was a pleasure meeting your family and if you ever need anything just let me know

This would be a good time to add more outlets. They always seem to be just out of reach of cords. Two on each wall is so much better than running extension cords.

[lillygardens]

Thank you Stephen!!! That was so kind of you to provide that tool add, to Angela and Sam, with their remod!! 👍👍 Great job you two!!!

[jgivens]

Always so nice when you can replace bad board for good boards. Now, knowing your room is safer. Truly enjoy watching your videos.
You all please take care and be safe

SAM AND ANGELA, ONCE AGAIN YOU HAVE DONE AN AWESOME JOB ON RESTORING YOUR WALL STUDS ON YOUR MAIN WALL WITHOUT REMOVING THE WINDOW. I LOVE WATCHING YOU TWO WORK TOGETHER RESTORING YOUR MOBILE HOME. GOD BLESS Y'ALL AND HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND.

What peace of mind you have knowing that your house is going to be sound and safe when you're done 😃

I don't know if someone else said it, but please don't forget to fill that little hole in the siding to the bottom right of the window so water and bugs don't get in. Also, I would seal the top and bottom plates against the siding, even though you are eventually residing. That way bugs, lizards and mice can't get in and live in the insulation. You can use minimally expanding foam.
The wall next to the kitchen use cross bracing also to support the weight of the cabinets.

Hi Sam,
Great job as always
Your neighbor in Tennessee.
Hopefully I'll run into you at the General store again.

I love those bit sleeves. I use them all the time when teaching kids how to use a drill, it keeps fingers safe since most don't know when to let go.

[susangay]

That wall really needed to be replaced. New wall looks great. You can tell that kitchen wall needs to be redone to. You all have gotten so much done. Blessings!

[rubberdc]

I imagine you both have MASSIVE satisfaction that the improvements you are doing now make the house MORE substantially sound .

Our 1986 single wide had extensive water damage from the kitchen sink to the corner of the trailer about 2 feet up the wall that I had to replace the floor, 2x4s and floor and wall plates. I used treated lumber on the floor plate to prevent future issues. I discovered the hole mice were using to acess the kitchen cabinets in the floor in the corner. Our refrigerator was falling through the floor in that corner. It's normal to find rot under a window like that. All our windows need replacing.

You two will have a new home by the time you're done. I know it will still be a 1988 but in reality it will be new!

Great idea to take care of the laundry room while the washer and dryer are out. Project creep smart.
