Questions from a beginner #1. I love the flooring can you put in the comments what type of flooring it was what brand what you cut it with? What did you use to cut the drywall? #2. Also what did you use to cut out the hole for the light socket it was hard to see you don't mention it can you also put that in the description? #3. Coping? what is coping? can you make a video of that how to miter the corners together? Just a thought. 🤔 even though you know what you're doing, beginners like me, I would love to put in a flooring but don't even have the first clue as to where to start what tools to buy and so forth....

Doesn't matter where you live. The energy and pride you give it will outshine anything. All that glitters isn't gold.

Nothing wrong with living in a mobile home. Some of them look so much better than living in a grungy house.

A mobile home sure does beat the hell out of living under an overpass

We bought a rundown trailer for 2000$ Went in and gutted almost everything there was so much water damage..remodeled from top to bottom for about 5000$ Now we have a beautiful home that's ours with no mortgage no debt!😊.. We Learn so much along the way

Very brave man removing that carpeting without shoes on 😂

One thing to add, particularly in a mobile home: Anything you touch confers a feeling of quality (or lack thereof). Therefore, replacing anything you frequently touch with a higher quality grade will help your mobile home feel more like a normal house: doorknobs, faucets, flushers, cabinet pulls, etc.

Owning a home is a great thing who cares if it’s a trailer! I love trailers

Too lazy? Hardly! Nothing wrong with living in a trailer. A lot of people don't have that. You made it beautiful!!!

Removing those seam covers and flat taping (I'm a former drywall finisher) over them would have taken the overall upgrade up a few notches. Always allow the curtains to skim the floor, it adds a look of elegance, the installation height is excellent though, overall, well done!! One more thing, paint stores will have miss-tinted paint at a reduced price. Put mildew retardant in your paint for bathrooms, and flame retardant in the paint for the other rooms, mobile home fires are hot. An ounce of prevention they say.

30 yr old double wide completely redone. No more popcorn ceiling, I've taped and mudded every joint, no crown molding just a nice straight seam along the ceiling. Replaced all the cheap molding around the windows with nice white ridged. New laminate flooring and it now looks like a real house! Had a leak behind the dishwasher which destroyed the particle board kitchen cabinets, so hubby and I built new ones which included hand made cabinet doors! I'm very proud of our home😊

I love how encouraging you are telling me “don’t worry it’s not that hard” and then literally show me. Now THIS is a tutorial

You just can't go wrong with CLEAN & UNCLUTTERED and a fresh coat of paint. ☺️ Looks great.

I rented a single wide nearly 24 years ago expecting to move soon afterwards with a 1/2 million dollar inheritance but it was stolen from me by a sibling. My landlord during all that time has kept my rent at only $600/mo and let's me do what I want to it. It's in his will that I can live here till the end of my life if I choose (I'm 66) at the same rent I'm paying now. I painted everything, redid the bathroom, and put in that grey laminate floor in the entire place. My little place is cozy and pleasant. That laminate flooring is magical, it can elevate any room and is so easy to install. Well done.

We moved into a mobile home in OR after the kids moved out and we relocated from TX. I vowed to make it my palace. We bought it for 32K and put about 40K into it over the 8 1/2 years we lived there and it was amazing. Quartz countertops in the Ikea kitchen, granite in the bathrooms. Enormous master bath tiled, walk-in shower etc. I loved it! Alas, our last son decided to move back to TX, and we couldn't bear the idea of them all being so far away, so we sold it just this past April for 180K cash... We bought a brand new house here in TX that isn't nearly as plush with upgrades, even if it is bigger and new, and every day I think about how much I loved that little house. Home is what you make it. Yu're doing a great job of making your mobile home a house, too. :)

If it hasn’t been mentioned before, replacing ALL of those “mobile home style” outlets and switches with standard equipment is a much needed upgrade. The mobile home ones use push-in connectors that often fail and can lead to electrical fires - standard switches and outlets use screw-in side terminals, which are much safer. You’ll need “old-work” boxes that clamp onto the drywall to mount them into.

A large rug would add to the ambience in your bedroom, also long white curtains are nice too. Looks really nice.

Manufactured homes are a far far cry from "trailers. 32 years ago we bought land developed it and after pricing site build, modular, single wides and double wides, we bought a double wide, had many upgrades, including extra insulation, plaster board walls,(no strips), it is a three bedroom, 2 bath, formal living, dining, family room, laundry and of course a good sized kitchen. could have had a basement but after living in a three story house, with way to much "stuff" decided I did not want a basement to fill with junk. Over the years we redid the kitchen and the master bath, as most do after 25 years. What I found ,was a few always refered to our home with, "trailer" in a distainful voice, while at the same time complaing about the price of their morgage. Most however, complimented us on a lovely home. The stigma of a "trailer" including the ordeal of getting a morgage, even when it is on a permenent foundation, is actually, as far as I can see, is a snobish attitude. Great Job, with your updates, a home is what you make it, regardless of it's orgin!

Nice home.. I have heard.. it’s not where you live it’s HOW you live. You are very much dedicated to your home

I lived in a mobile home when I turned 18. It got me by and was way cheaper than an apartment. I will never look down on this type of living. I did a lot of growing in that time.

I think a main one is to take pride. You have a roof over your head, you are protected from the elements, don’t see it as a “not a house” but as your home. I do agree on the floor and lights, I used to live in one and luckly we didn’t have a carpet and the lights we had were really warm.

I bought moved my mobile home there 31 years ago. I worked 2 jobs raised 4 kids in a mobile home and I have upgraded by painting, putting new floors down! I love it and I have a very small mortgage which leaves me with money to have a small place at the beach ⛱. They can have the big homes and mortgages. Good job! Looks great!

We live in a double wide trailer. We are ripping up the last of the carpet now. And putting hard flooring down. The flooring we have is thicker than most and has the padding on the bottom already. It definitely does make a huge difference. We have changed ceiling fans and even installed one ourselves in our oldest son’s room. We are just learning as we go and it’s coming together nicely. Easier than we thought it would be. And saving a lot of money doing it ourselves.

For a 20-something kid, you sure do know a lot about home improvement!🙂 Mirrors also add light to a room and make a place look bigger.

I absolutely love it! One decor tip...pick curtains that are long enough to go from there floor to the ceiling 😊 Brighter curtains with blackout backing if you need the room to be dark. Floor to ceiling curtains help create the illusion of the space feeling taller than it is 😉

I live in a single wide too… hey it’s paid for! We’ve remodeled half of it and only have a little bit left to go

You did a great job. I'm not one for the dark, depressing grays that seem to be popular these days, but I'm sure a lot of people will absolutely love your changes.

Nice job. My husband is a very skilled tradesman and does so much himself. Ours is a mid 70’s, 14 x 70. We got it in 2004 as a vacation getaway instead of buying a camper and dealing with all that goes with one. So we decided to do a complete renovation with our senior years in mind. We reconfigured three bedrooms into 2 adding more functional laundry space to the bathroom. We took out the tub in favor of a shower with a seat. The absolute best thing we just did was to add a mudroom off the driveway with a little porch. It added so much character and charm as well as function. An added bonus was it breaks up the awkward looking length. Its so cozy and welcoming. We replaced the kitchen, all windows, added a screened porch, painted the paneling, ceilings, installed plywood over all of the particle board floors and installed plank flooring over that. We did carpet the bedrooms. Mobile homes can make really nice practical, one level cozy homes. Especially for people that don’t have large budgets. Not everyone can afford the McMansion.

It looks amazing. the only thing I would suggest is painting the window surround and doorway moulding white so it pops. Great job.

For the corners on trim ceiling and floor Home Depot/ Lowes, and probably Menards sell small trim pieces that go in the corners vertically and then all your cuts are just common square cuts. They are cheap and look great. Also you can cut them to length depending on your size of trim.

When my central air went out I had to get window units for a couple of years. When we leveled the house, we removed the central air unit, floor vents, and window air conditioners to put in a mini split air and heat unit. I didn’t like having to decorate around floor vents. We sealed the floor vent holes very good and put down a padded linoleum that looks like a wood floor. It made a HUGE difference in my bills year round. Those floor vents made me so mad because I had to keep cleaning them. They were located in high traffic areas. I bought my mobile home for $7000 from a couple divorcing. My home is a 1984 model but it is solid! Everyone that comes inside always says it’s amazing not to feel or hear people walking around lol 😂. Most people around here have new mobile homes. I’m talking $70,000 and up! After growing up in a huge 5 bedroom 2 bath home, I couldn’t bring myself to paying that much for a house. I want to live my life not spend it paying for a house. My parents sold that home to buy a nice used mobile! They wish they had done that much earlier in life.

I just bought my first trailer and watching you go through the whole process from the plywood and sheetrock made me feel a lot better. I have no one to help me and work full time but your cheery attitude just made me feel like its possible as long as I take my time and plan my budget. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!

We did it. We ditched our 30 year mortgage and bought a 12,000 dollar project. We did a complete renovation. Now we live comfortably in a high priced area of California DEBT FREE !!! Believe me the American dream is still achievable!

You can also remove the strips on the wall and tape and float the sections together so it looks l8e a regular h9me. Also, if you paint isn’t quite what you want, you can always add white to lighten or black to darken.

The first thing I did to make my older MH look like a house was to remove those horrid strips on the walls and put in tape and spackle. Yes, it takes time and effort, but well worth it. Those strips make it look cheap, and no amount of painting can fix that. You did a good job on your budget, though.

Manufactured homes haven’t been classified as “trailers” since 1976, it 1976 the builders changed how they build these homes. They were built to higher standards & HUD requirements and as such they were then called manufactured homes. Manufactured homes are being built better & better. A lot of homes I sell you’d never even guess it was a manufactured home from the interior, we still have a way to go as far as exterior goes but they have come a LONG way! My sister upgraded from a spec home in a subdivision to a custom built double section of 5 acres. Her house was $185k the new home was $260k and her new home is absolutely gorgeous! Her little spec house had tile countertops her new home has granite countertops, 6ft island, fireplace and much more! You can make them as fancy or as basic as you’d like.

A home is what you make it....hands down!

Swap out the curtains for something floor length/ lighter color and it will brighten up the space look richer than sill length. Great job and diy tips are so helpful. Thanks.

I think the results are amazing. The only suggestion I would make is to use a 2-3 inch moulding. It would look more “house-like” with a beefier moulding. Great job!

Kudos to you as your work on your little home was thorough, meticulous & tasteful. I really like those single wides . Don’t like doubles at all. When I once was a newly wed back in ‘63 thru ‘65 , we lived in a fairly new single. Loved it ! It had all matching yellow fixtures in a U shaped kitchen. Floor plan was an excellent layout and best of all it had all kinds of storage , yes, a place for everything & ofcourse everything in its place. Comfortable, cozy and I felt safe .... sooo, nothing but good memories for me😊. I’m sure you’re feeling the same in your darling little place, especially now after all you’ve done.👍

You are anything but lazy and you are rich with enthusiasm. Love what you did with your HOME!

We sold our large brick home and downsized to a double wide mobile home! We were careful and had it designed to our liking! The only thing we have done is we took out the sliding patio door and added French doors! We owned a lumber yard so we were particular to get Sheetrock, crown molding, 36 inch doors,, ceramic bathroom sinks, high end faucets, walk in closets in all 3 bedrooms! Large bathrooms! We measured the main living room wall to make sure a shelf we had made years ago to house our family memories would fit! I had a large island because I make bread! High end appliances! A large enough utility room for our washer dryer n large upright freezer! We added a 50’ x 8’ covered porch on the front and a 50’ x 16’ back covered patio for an out door kitchen! Easy clean windows with 2x6 studs! Ceilings are straight approximately 10’ tall! We had all carpet replaced with wood look vinyl flooring! Roof edges are straight because we moved it to the farm! Oh and we had the useless garden tub removed and put in a walk in closet for my husband! I think it is right at 1700 sq feet! Extra insulation in walls, floor and roof! We essential received a raise! Our electric bill went from $650 to less than $200! No gas! Taxes n insurance are a little less than half! Our maintenance is minimal’ we made sure we have wooden doors n shelves in all the cabinets! We chose white ceilings, soft tan walls, white floorboards n trim n doors! The cabinets and vanities are chocolate brown, all stainless appliances, handicap doors and walk in shower! Clear storm doors! The outside is a deep red! I’m sure I’m forgetting something! Oh we spaced windows in master to fit our large bed in between! My first cousin could not believe we sold our big brick home n moved into a doublewide until he came for a visit! It was less than $100k and the porches were $20k I think n it’s on the farm! That was in 2015 n not a single regret!! My back patio looks out at our chickens, goats n donkey! My husbands 4000 sq ft shop is next door and the garden is large enough for us to share with our large family and those less fortunate! We purchased a 200 yard lake front place less than 40 min away and are in process of getting it ready for summers! We have a boat dock, floating dock n stationary dock that are all covered, we have 2 docks for jet skis and it is chain-linked for our dog! We are living large in our retirement! My husband and kids built a huge cover for our boats n made it into an outdoor kitchen! Now to build a cabin or tiny house! So no not all people who have elected to live in a mobile home are trash! Selling the big house made it possible to buy the lake property! It was just very smart for us in this season of our life! Love your remodel!

New subscriber as well! It's such an accomplishment to make upgrades in your house yourself. We purchased a 32x80 in 1997 and added a 550sq ft garage that we turned into a bar 🍸 room. It's so spacious. It looks like a mobile home on the outside but when you enter you question whether or not it really is a mobile home. We removed the skirting and replaced it with bricks. We're surrounded by trees on a lot of land. I love my peaceful lifestyle. Debt free!

Great improvement job. I purchased a repo double wide about 16 yrs ago. First thing I did was rip out the carpet, every inch in every room, the previous owners had dogs that tracked in dirt n fleas, I thought there was enough dirt under the carpet n padding to grow a garden. Then I widened every door that there was room to, I hate skinny doors, in case I or some one has to use a wheelchair that won't go through a 28 or 30 inch doorway.. that done I put real wood floor in through all the bedrooms and living room spaces. Stained and clear coated, it looks great. I laid tile squares in the bathrooms and kitchen and utility rooms, which I have mixed feelings about now but I'm glad I did it. The point of this book is that as a newly single female in my 50's n now 60's, I encourage every one to make what you live in, your home. I did almost all of the improvements on my own, had some help carrying supplies . DIY as much as you feel comfortable doing and enjoy your accomplishments, it's very satisfying. Best of luck to you all

For a single wide, that's one big bedroom! I'm jealous! It came out very good and does look much more modern. 👍🇺🇸

I took down the walls in mine and put up plywood, where I did that shou sugi ban method, preserving wood by charring it with fire. It came out so cool and added some insulation to my home. Yes, it was a little more money but so worth it. I did it in my living room/kitchen/dining area and master bedroom. Your room looks great!

I have paneling, so I took off all the joining slats and made sure the paneling was secure to the studs. Then I mudded every single groove on the paneling, painted it with Kilz to take the sheen of the paneling. I then wallpapered it with a non matching anaglypta paper. (A raised pattern paper) and painted it. Yes it is time consuming, but everyone who comes in asks if I had the walls re-textured. It is fun to watch the surprise on their faces when I tell them that it is wallpaper.

AWESOME VIDEO! I bought a 50 year-old doublewide 6 years ago; and I've been slowly renovating it - removing walls, building new walls, replacing subfloors, etc... The old trailer is structurally rock-solid, but the renovation has been one challenge after another; despite being a highly skilled carpenter (by trade), as well as a very competent plumber & electrician. Because I also utilize window units, but appreciate the natural light of windows; I have installed my window units through exterior walls, which frees up the windows and gives more of a "homey" feel to a room/space (not to mention that it reduces the noise of the window unit).

In the process of remodeling a 1975 mobile home now, we are on fixed incomes so our budget planning had to include keeping a lot of the original interior, including the melamine cabinets. Filled in all the wood paneling crevases with drywall mud, learned how to make the old ceiling tiles look like sheetrock, new flooring we found on closeout at 50 cents a sf, and it is a quality beautiful floor, we bought lumber direct from the mill to build decks and do a room addition, and I thrift shopped for new door hardware and some fab lighting. I love vintage appliances so I found some pretty great up color appliances that were top of the line for their time, they work perfectly and look great, most everything except for the flooring and wood has been thristed. Right now we have 1300 sf of home and our total expence is less than 4000. We still have the exterior painting to do and a few plumbing pieces to replace. The home itself was given to us, just to get it off the peoples property, it had been well cared for. You probably aren't cheap or lazy, sounds like good housing choice for what you can afford for now. The housing market is way out of control for the avg. person, nothing wrong with finding alternatives.

I have 2 acres and was looking for a mobile home to put on it, but I wanted something different. I found a 1959 Magnolia still origional inside and out with slanted 50s walls and 3 teired roof line. It was small 2 bedrooms and one bath. All rooms have ashwood built in furniture. I added a large 25×40 room to backside that doesnt show from front. Now I have all the space i want with my hugh new den. I wrapped it in windows and made it look like a sunroom. I love living in this retro trailer. I am surrounded by large oak trees and tons of landscaping.

Two things to add about flooring is to 1. make sure you don't allow seams to come in contact otherwise your flooring is doomed to come apart, "stairstepping" the flooring is the best way to avoid this and that's simply by starting with a full board, then your next starter cut a foot off and repeat until you go back to a full board (In most cases the LVP floorings are 4ft in length so it would be a 4ft board, then you would cut a 3ft board, a 2ft board, and a 1ft board, install the next few full boards onto those then repeat with a full board till you get to the end of the room) 2. Once you've measured your room add 10% to your final square footage. Not every room is perfectly square because framers are alcoholics so as your cutting end pieces for your row you won't always be able to use the scraps as a starter and vice-versa. Having an extra 10% helps avoid a situation where you're so close to finishing but you end up running out of usable boards (which happened way more frequently than I would have liked when I was a flooring installer) and if you got a nice quality flooring product it can sometimes take weeks in order to get another box when you just need to finish a row or two. Another good reason to have extra flooring is you're bound to chip or break boards when installing them, there may be something in the groove that you didn't realize and you keep hammering your board harder and harder trying to make it click together AND THEN BAM you smack a gnarly chunk out of your board. Or if later down the line say a year from your install you drop something sharp or heavy on your flooring and cause a dent or gouge it, a lot of these flooring brands are constantly putting out new designs and get rid of old ones and you would not be able to replace that board(s) otherwise because the product you used a year ago is now discontinued. I hope these tips can help someone out there!

Living on a paid for double wide on around 10 acres or so of land sounds like a dream to me. I hope the stigma of trailers being trashy stays around for a very long while because I need prices to stay low.

New sub and I’ve lived in both houses & mobile homes. As someone else posted, home is what you make it. Fantastic job!

When I moved to the San Diego area, my brother was kind enough to purchase a condo for me. But alas it wasn’t meant to be. After a full remodel, it ended up that I couldn’t stay because it was 55 and over community. And I was guess what? 50. So I moved into a double wide mobile home. My brother took out the carpet and installed luxury vinyl plank and I moved in. I was devastated. But, I have diligently worked on making it beautiful. I wasn’t able to do renovation projects, because I’m disabled, but I have made it beautiful and it’s become my sanctuary. It was built in 2008. ITS fully dry walled no seams in the walls and I’m the second resident. It has vaulted ceilings which is nice. It’s beautiful and now I love it. Sure there are things I’d change if I could. I’d love to have stone countertops and tiled showers like I did in the condo, but it’s home and I’m real happy here. Should I put my house tour on KZfaq?

Great to get rid of nasty carpet! The room looks much nicer now (tho I am not fond of gray tones). Good work!

I completely remodeled my 70s single wide MH. Brown and gold all gone now it’s white and gray much brighter. I love my forever home now.

You did a great job on your remodel. Very Minimalist and chic. !!!

You're a cool dude. Thank you for adding options for people who may not be able to afford "top notch" fancy. I changed my comment because it looks like you did do small changes that made a big difference!

Looks good! Nothing wrong with living in a trailer. 4 walls and roof..❤❤

Wife and I started out in a trailer, old but nice inside. We loved our home

Taking strips off wall/ceiling is what makes it look like an actual house (it can be a lot of extra work, depending on your mudding skills, but it's SO worth it!). And PLEASE get a headboard! It's a must, to complete the look of a bedroom. Also, hang your curtains about 2 inches from the ceiling and make sure they go to the floor. It makes the ceilings feel taller. And if you want to make the room seem bigger, hang a large mirror on the wall across from the windows. It'll reflect the light, making the room brighter and feel larger. Lastly, a rug is a must! They have websites that will help you figure out what size you should get (considering room size and furniture placement). Just some suggestions from years of watching This Old House and HGTV.😄 Ok...last tip. Don't forget to clean the outside of the windows. It's that attention to detail you were talking about. Please don't take my suggestions as negative criticism, your room still looks amazing and you should feel proud of the results of your hard work!!!❤

I lived in a mobile home for 15 years and loved it. We removed all the slates and drywall mudded it and then sanded and painted and what a big difference. Then when adding a wood click and lock wood floor in our bedroom. Awesome. Saved a lot of money.

It's kind of weird for most people, probably, but I like the seams in the wall board. It breaks up the wall and gives it the pre-fab look that's trendy in a lot of kit homes today. Because that's precisely what it is - prefab.

3:45 My uncle redid the floor in a section of the mobile home my grandmother and I live in, and this is the exact stuff he used. It looks so good and is easy to install. Great stuff.

Great room!! Lots think mobile homes or “trailers” are just that, but they can be VERY nice and can be remodeled cheaply and easily! Tip: To make it look even more high end, get curtains that go to the floor. The rod placement could be another inch or two higher, but it’s good.

I like how you changed the framing around windows. It looks great! My son is doing the same in an older mobile home. A home is a home so be proud of it 😊💗

It looks great, a lot better! Years ago, my husband and I owned a mobile home, and we removed the batten strips and filled the gaps with drywall mud.

I believe in Taking care of whatever I have. Just keeping wherever you live clean really helps. Always take pride in whatever you have is a plus. My mom told me years ago to never make a slum for myself and not to ever destroy wherever I live.

I remodel a 4 bedroom 2 bath repo mobile home about 10 years ago. I moved it to a lot with a 3 bedroom septic tank, so one bedroom was converted into and office off the living room. I found out that you must take the closet out to make it an official office. A counter was put between the living room and kitchen using upper cabinets for a wider countertop. The space became opened and very comfortable. It was a fun project.

Idk why I’m watching this , i live in a house 😆.

I just found your channel and am fixing my trailer. I didn't know about leaving the flooring to air out before installation so that's a big help. Nicely done.

It looks awesome! Those are the colors I want as well, maybe a lighter wall color, but I'd love to have the wall and floor colors throughout the house. I'd have white baseboards, ceiling trim, door and window trims. I want to convert one of those sheds into a home, only thing I wouldn't do myself is the electrical, plumbing and heating of course. But it always looked fun to do everything yourself.

Hopes Dreams & Duct Tape, what a great channel name!

We live in a totally remodeled manufactured home, and I love it. It looks nothing like it did before the remodel. Luckily, we bought it after it was flipped so we didn't have to go through the mess. You did a wonderful job!!

I worked at Lowe’s in the paint department for 4 years and love your wire hanger hack! Also, good job on painting! I can’t even begin to tell ya how many gallons of mistinted paint I have in my shed 🫠🥴😅 can’t beat a regular price 1 gal of $60 paint for $9!! 😃 I need to have have a yard sale! Haha

I live in a 1983 single wide. i cant thank you enough for this video. you really explained everything in such great detail that now i feel more confident about getting started doing the hard things! my subfloor/flooring for example. thanks for sharing! it looks great!

I have a 1969 mobile home and a 1981 mobile home that I am in process of remodeling. I agree it is nicer looking like a pier and beam home. My only problem is finding front and back doors to fit. I rebuilt both outside walls of older trailer living room. Now they really look like a pier and beam home inside. One wall is reclaimed barn wood. I love it.

If you ever plan to paint your doorframe and windowsill I think painting them white would really tie the whole room together, that light brown just doesn't seem to for with all the other improvements you made. Other wise it looks great! The only thing I would have done differently is remove the seem covers and taped them to have seemless walls.

Very nice... We are retiring and moving from our home of 44 years. We are not opposed to modular or a trailer. You did a great job and we appreciate this video.

I am struggling with living in a single wide trailer with 3 big guys! (My sons and my husband…) I really love how simple and direct you are with your instructions. You now have a new sub! I look forward to seeing your other vids!

We added those very blinds to our manufactured home's living room windows. Helped a lot as you mentioned. Our home is over 40 years old and is a single wide. We are in the process of changing decor to make a more pleasant look. We moved in two years ago but progress takes time when you are a retiree it seems.

It makes me laugh that he goes, “I’m too lazy…” And then proceeds to work his butt off and do more physical labor than I have all year! 🤷🏻‍♀️

back in 04 I saw a small single wide for 275/month in OKC. The carpet in the bathroom was covering a sizable hole and the earth below! But I worked and stayed for years and saved $ to buy a "real house" down the street.....now once again I got a fixer doublewide up near the lake in a small and reletively crime free place. The cheap original construction is making way for sturdy and well insulated floors and walls. All the hot/cold water lines are now inside the building not under it. The dilapidated hvac is gone and a nice woodstove in the living area is all we need-with a few room heaters and window a/c. We had a cool hazardous waste recycling drop off in OKC and a swap room where you could take up to 10 items every month and got tons of free paint! And pallet wood flooring in all the bedrooms! On zillow it looks like the value has increased 4x in 4 years.

The paint mixer hack 😮👏🏼

I like the change, and it all looks do-able, thanks for the flooring curing, assorted lighting, etc. Very nice!

I lived and totally remodelled a mobile home years ago. What we did for the ceiling trim was used a wood product called "wire hide" - it looked like miniature crown moulding - was great because it really upped the look of the finishes - a bit more expensive than the ceiling trim you used, but well worth it for how it looked.

Definitely subscribing! I bought a beautiful house built I'm 1830 & been working on it a little at a time for 8 years. I just put up those same blinds in my kitchen today lol (Allen & Roth:) I also installed an Allen & Roth Chandelier in my entry way a few wks ago. And the matching one for over the island. I work at Lowes in Customer service. I finally found the light for my entry way but it was discontinued.Thankfully the store manager sold them both to me. For only $50 a piece! The was over $200 each. I also had to patch a hole in my dry wall,& replace a piece of plywood before putting down new flooring. I just bought a bathroom vanity light (Allen & Roth) that's on clearance for $34! It was $75. I painted my bathroom when I moved in and put up a new vanity light..but my styles changed. It was a dark Zombie Grey..now its White with a Matte Black wall behind the vanity and lights. Looks bigger & refreshed. And on a $200 budget. I'm still trying to finish up painting rooms. And I have 4 more rooms that need new flooring lol. Hopefully they will all be done within the next 3 years. I can do a little at a time. I'm definitely going to binge watch your channel lol you did an awesome job! I was raised in a trailer and loved it. It was nice & cozy. Nicer than some houses. Why couldn't you be my neighbor😭 lol

Man I’m inspired. Thankfully someone is doing a remodel on more affordable living arrangements. I subscribed

You did a really great job 👏 It still give MH vibes due to the low ceiling but it’s beautiful in its yen right, a home is a home! Thanks for sharing a simplifying the process

Nice job! Wash the windows to let even more light in when the blinds are up.

Looks good real good, honestly mobile homes can be made to look a lot better than people thing. Saw a video on some recently that honestly looked better than some "real" homes, they really have come a long way with how mobile homes are built.

Wow, unbelievable! You are very gifted.

When finalizing your decor, I think the brown trim windows adds warmth and you should bring more touches of that. It will still have a sleek masculine vibe. Maybe use some matching wood (to your window trim) in a sleek headboard or upgrade to bamboo window treatments to offset the cool gray. It would look very modern and chic.

I also live in a mobile home. I love your video!! You explained so much for me & made me feel confident in doing it myself. Thanks a lot!!!

Modern minimalist vibe. I like that. Good job.

I love this series on renovating mobile homes! Great pace on the video too.

I love this! You made this room look spectacular! I think the only additional thing I would do is paint the windows white. It would really add a little more brightness, but that’s probably just my own preference. I know a lot of people like the look of a wood finish

Yes, paint really works and so does wallpaper, even on paneling. I have owned 3 trailers before and fixed them up to be pretty awesome. One was a 1954! I'd love to have one of those guys again with real birch paneling. No way did I paint that one but bright new counter tops in the kitchen and a vinyl wallpaper back splash looked great. *Always insulate your skirting too. 😊

just bought a mobile home, and this made me feel much more comfortable about repairing the flooring in 2 spots, thanks!

Good Job!! I'm going into buying trailers!! After 40 years of flipping n staging, I am happy to have such a blank canvas to work with!
