It's Harder than it Looks! - Salvaged Mobile Home Rebuild

we are getting right back into this framing project today and going to try to figure out and finish up this closet area this is getting really exciting because the home is taking shape this mobile home started out like it was a dump okay and most people would think it has no value probably needs to be torn down thrown away but we went through and fixed all the RW all the Decay and to see all this new framing coming in is transformational this is really fun seeing this new layout take place because we didn't just got it but we created a whole new layout and it's going to be really cool and after we get the layout all done once all the interior walls are framed we're going to do a tour we're going to show you guys our new layout so before we can do that I just have to finish these walls up [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] sh [Music] you like that little wood holder I [Music] there they just tell me when [Music] take your ear things off so they can Arrow so I'll see actually you got you got them pretty good this was the wor one right here [Music] [Music] [Music] all right guys we got this all Fred up Perfect Fit cool super perfect this looks good this is so tight but it's not tight it went in so smooth but all the lines line up and I love to see that so I'm going to go ahead and get it secured into place on all four sides and that wall will be done we got another one done where's that little broom it's over there little tiny closet here we [Music] [Music] building okay well we just got that wall in place and that forms our second closet so we have a closet behind Closet in front and this is a small one obviously the layout is coming together now I'm going to work kind of behind the scenes for a little while on the closet because I got to build a ceiling inside here the this is just sitting up here that's not attached but basically I need to close in the top of this and I'm not exactly sure how that's going to work out so I'm just going to work on that right now and see what I can come up with and then we'll we'll work from there but this is almost done well you might be able to see that I got some framing done up there we built a wall so that I could insulate between that attic and the room but I'm going to stop there I also got this built out so that we could have a closet doorway but I'm not sure how I want to frame it out going forward I got to get some measurements at something so I'll have to go home and measure out because actually we were thinking about installing mini splits in this room and I could I'm thinking if I can squeeze it in and it might be hard because we don't have height up there and I know it looks small but if I could squeeze it in I'm going to leave a Cove up there so that the mini split can be set in above the closet does that make sense that way it's not jutting out into the room as far but it's going to be so close to the ceiling I'm not sure if it's going to even work so that's why I need measurements before I carry on if I can't fit it in there I might just close it all in box it out completely so that's done for now uh the closet doorway on the other side that little one I still have to box in the top but I need some wood that I don't have cuz I need to space it out and I need some 1x4 aside from some of that technical framing this end of the house is complete as far as framing goes well room framing I do have a couple 2x4s I got to throw in over here I'll do that before I leave so now all that's left is this end of the house and there will be one more wall with some closets in it so I'm going to get that bottom plate cut I got a 16t 2x4 up there that I can use for that get it cut down marked out and we'll figure out our first wall in this part of the house we are almost done with framing oh boy well I'll tell you it hasn't been very eventful this has been a slow planning process but we've gotten a lot done today and I feel bad I feel like we need to wrap this up cuz we had a long workday today and I don't have much to share with you guys I wish there was like so much more progress but sometimes progress is in the planning and you can see check this out this part was tricky for me because we are framing a three-dimensional closet multiple closets on a sloped peaked ceiling so I've been taking my time to make sure we get all the pieces laid out and this is where the top plates will be this this is the walls and you can see that we got the floors laid out right underneath as well so that's pretty much it we're going to have a closet a closet that's going to be a doorway over there it's coming out okay it gives me an idea of what would we have what I might need what I'm going to do going forward I wanted to get all this planning done today so that I could come on another day and start framing yeah and not stuff doing like slow tedious mental draining things cuz this will drain you mentally yeah and if I had to come and do this it's going to wear me out before I even get framing so this is good now it's like all complete it's going to be a lot easier moving forward next time will be fun since we're framing a wall with a big closet in it I think you guys can guess what's going down here we're totally rearranging this house mhm we're going to do we're going to do a tour later we're going to show you the layout but this was your idea yeah we're going to make it happen that's it I mean we need to do another lumber shop there's not enough wood here to even start I mean we could start but it's not going to get far yeah we should figure out how many we'll need so that next time we can finish it yeah and once this is finished the house is ready for wiring plumbing and insulation yep so that'll all be coming soon it's been a it's been a process but we're on track I said we said like maybe this house would take us a year year and a half to do under ideal conditions where are we at on our timeline I don't know how long have we been working I have no idea like from we from when we guarded it from when we said that I don't remember I don't remember either we're going to have to look back and see how we're doing on our timeline cuz I'm not really sure we've had a lot of projects going on at home we had to take some time off because you got in a accident yeah and had an injury that she had to take care of for a few days and still swollen she has a swollen ankle and I was not able to walk that good so pain so that put us a little bit I don't want to say behind there's no timeline we're not behind it just we had to take some time off and it's doing better though yeah we're couple days it's getting there we're trying to get back on track so I think that we're just going to close it out so thanks for watching thanks for supporting us as we rebuild this mobile home we're going to save it we're going to bring it back to life yep and we're going to do something with it but we're not renting it we're not renting it and no Airbnb yeah and no we're not moving into it yeah technically technically right okay so that's all thanks for watching and until next time take care bye bye okay [Music]
