In this video I am repairing a portion of bottom plate on the single wide mobile home. This is part of our full kitchen renovation. That full renovation video will be released after the kitchen is put back together.

How does this happen? I think this may be our problem.

Moisture causes the rot.

how many feet of base plate can you remove at one time? Since it is holding up the roof I am thinking no more than 36" (two studs) ? or did you build a temp wall to support the ceiling roof?

@usmcgunz1066 4 ай бұрын

I didn’t have more than one “floating stud” at a time. I believe the longest run of base plate I replaced at a time was no more than 30”. If I were to have 2 or more “floating studs”, I would’ve added some sort of temporary support. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Is the original bottom plate a 1x4 ?

@usmcgunz1066 10 ай бұрын

Yes. In these older mobile homes that’s what you get - 1x4 bottom plates. 😬
