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

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.

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 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.

putting new studs beside in the 1x3 wall would allow you to leave the kitchen wall mostly in place. You might need to remove the wiring and do the hole trick you did on this video. getting that done before you get power hooked up would help....

We have to do a bathroom floor - AGAIN! I'm using treated lumber and marine grade plywood for subfloor and joists because I do not ever want to do this again. Using marine grade plywood is unconventional in a home at best, but if you treat it with the correct varnish, it will last forever. I have worked with this type of plywood before, and cared for correctly you never have rot no matter how damp it gets under the home. Water here in the South is forever present, and destructive to exterior grade plywood no matter how you treat it. I live far above the water table, it would take Noah's flood to bring water 550' up to my hill, but moisture is always present year round. I hope this repair will outlast me by 20+ years! You have done well with your remodeling, it is what I will do to my workshop to repair a water damaged wall in the former living room of my 14' by 70' mobile home/workshop. I repair small engines, old tube radios, and other Ham Gear, plus some gunsmithing I do for myself. Many hobbies, but small engine repair pays for the other stuff. Good Luck!

Did you do a video about removing the old water heater and replacing it with the tankless unit? If so I missed it. Another idea for a future segment would be a network tour. You do have viewers such as myself that are into tech. Since you are too it would be interesting to see how you meet the challenges of bandwidth in a rural environment and how your LAN is configured to outbuildings over a larger area than you had in NC.

@GreenAcreHomestead 2 жыл бұрын

That was “before KZfaq” but we have to redo it again before we move in. We’re ditching the tankless and will share our experiences and reasons why. :) The network video is a cool idea, we’ll put it on our list when we go to install our permanent setup. For now we use the Verizon Home Internet and it’s in our workshop for localized wifi nearby.

What I find amazing is on a I see this a lot in mini homes in the states is that on the outside of the minihome it’s just the aluminum next to the insulation no sheathing or vapour barrier. Mini homes in Canada they have quarter inch chip board or plywood on the walls then the siding with housewrap. With replacing all your walls and flooring and then that metal siding are you not worried about water getting behind the metal siding and getting insulation wet again from screw holes screws popping out etc.

It’s totally interesting to see how to beef up the walls and floors of a trailer with the right wood replacement don’t you wish they built trailer that way to begin with👍 I remember as a kid growing up and living in one due to my Dad being in the service and you moving it to your new property of what our move was from Nebraska to Ohio then buying a new one that was a up grade to a two bedroom 😂. Keep up with the improvements I will be watching 👋

It's not the matter of using the "right" wood. It's keeping it from water damage to begin with. They use smaller framing to keep it light weight. Unfortunately, putting a stick built house that's "built better" on a mobile home frame would make them too heavy to transport

Interesting. I didn't know that mobile home construction was that unregulated. I would have expected pressure treated lumber for the sub floor joists, the bottom plate, and perhaps even something like Advantech for the sub floor joists. I know that you don't want untreated lumber touching concrete - I would think it would be similar for anything touching the outside metal sheathing, or anything with a surface exposed to outside air. I saw that plywood patch go in and immediately wondered how long it will last.

Old Wall studs should be a 1x4's which are actually 3/4" thick by 3-1/2" wide that's because the actual 1x4 was planed down removing 1/2" on each side. They do that to make them smoother and easier to work with. 2x4's and other lumber are done the same way. However if you live near a lumber mill you can probably buy the actual boards that have not been planed down.
