Double Wide Mobile Home Underbelly. 

I need this exact same thing done to my home. Mune is only 14 yrs old. The manufacturer sentva crew out when it was new because hot water line was going to the toilet in master bedroom. They cut the plastic under the home and it's been a nightmare ever since. Since I paid cash for the home and didn't finance this company took advantage of me being a single woman at the time. I'm in Alabama are you?

I have a few on this and how to do it. Sorry for your loss.

@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair thank you, yes I've been watching them!!

I work for a company that's made for people that need help look up community action where you live it's usually free

Great idea

Glad to help

Thank you

How is your project going

And that is just the beginning of this particular job there will be more videos on this particular project. I’m trying to get one out for 6 PM tonight

Thank you for watching my friend. I’m glad to help.

More to come we will video lots more as we go

I’m going to do the complete underneath of this house be watching

I’ll do a complete series on this one silver

Make sure you hit the bell notification so you’re notified next time I put out a video. More to come on this

It's what I need to do.

Yes. The manufacturer did it. And it’s terrible

Thank you

Glad it was helpful!

If you buy some of that spray and I can contact cement, you can take just about anything to replace or repair in The Underbelly

That would be cool! I wish I could be everywhere

You can do it.

If I was going to be under there for more than a couple hours I definitely would. And I actually did but I could not get Paul to wear one.

My helper is on vacation for two weeks when he gets out we’re gonna be working under my house so you’ll get to see that then

Yes

We don’t worry to much about that. We have warm weather here.

How is the weather in Ohio right now

up in ne oklahoma we got to -17F . No worries- just dig up the water supply and super insulatethru the closet and run all the new pex lines insde on the ceiling. No more worries and if you ever have a leak you'll know.

I hate it. But when I heard the mice at night. I had enough. I tried traps. But. They got smart to that quick. So I did the kill bait and then the death smell came. I had no choice except to find them and remove it. The only good thing is. I will be making videos of the project to share in case anyone else needs to know what to do.

More to come. I can’t wait to show more of this

I agree, 100% and this is my house you’re looking at I have been thinking about it for a long time. I am not going to install any vapor barrier under my house. I’m going to wrap all my plumbing pipes that used to be in the vapor barrier in insulation because like you said, I don’t want them to be encapsulated up inside something I can’t see if they’re leaking. Thank you for your visit my friend.

I had mine removed and found a water leak at the connections between the two halves of the doublewide. We eliminated the connections there.

Good idea I wish I could do that, but to be honest deduct is very hard to get to that runs into the house right on top of a beam

I worked in a lot of mobile homes and that smell might be from old carpets in the home that got messed up over the years! When you change your furnace filter, place one of those gel scented boards (located near the filters at the store), and any scent you want will come from your vents all over the home from the air conditioner. I always used them during air conditioning months, never tried one in the winter.

Good answer. It’s not real easy to do but yes I believe it would

Yes I think so

They are what holds up the insulation you can get them 16 inches long or 24 inches long and it is a metal rod if you go to Lowe’s and tell them you’re looking for tiger claws to hold up insulation they will point you in the right direction.

I really hate it when they install vents in the ceiling it makes it real hard to replace if needed you will have to tear out the ceiling and replace it

We had one of those in house houses I've lived in and both have been torn out. They left the hole in one of the houses and just put a metal roof right on top of it.

Wow 😯

thanks

I’m going to be using Owens Corning insulation or 19

I would go with straight spray foam, flash & batt, or foam board in rim joists just like I recommend for stick built homes.

The only problem I have with that is there’s so much stuff in the way under there for me and I always want to be able to get to them in the future in case something happens. So I’m going to use our 19. Tiger claws to hold it up. Wrap all the pipes with foam insulation. Put a new underbelly on it. I should have more videos of that coming soon

I’d like your suggestion if I had more room and there weren’t so many pipes in my way

I did. Not the metal but all the flex pipe

I recommend using insulation you install in the floor joist. And go to lowes and ask for insulation tiger claws. It is a 15 inch piece of metal. They really work well

Yes they will drive you crazy I decided to remove all mine because of them

Thank you my friend

@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair always brother

Thank you for your part in the scrap family

Will you share a link to your RU-vid page in my comments please

Road hog. Check out the truck I had before my Tahoe ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dC2t0r7L6yY.html

No the paper always goes towards the inside it is a vapor barrier. A lot of people think the insulation is supposed to point towards the outside that is not the case. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qyS0CE__YdE.html

Bait. Get the bait that is in a plastic box. Put them in the house and out. I also would try to find the entrance

If your near me. 7000

Call a local mobile home supply store near you. Ask them who they know

Gosh. I’m in NC I’m not sure where you are. Maybe pest control

I did 600 sq ft 48 sq ft per roll 50 dollars a roll

It is hard work

R19 in the floor. Owens Corning

I normally wear a mask. Paul, my helper says he can’t breathe with a mask on so I guess it’s up to you but you probably.

Poison

That would be a good idea but very expensive

They will did under foundations also. Mine has footers and brick. They dug under

@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair How deep did they go with the foundation ? In Michigan foundations have to be at least 4 ft deep.

Lord no. Just footers here. 12 inches wide 12 deep. No frost here.

The insulation by itself is around a dollar per square foot and then you have to figure removal and replacement I’m guessing the one side that I’m doing will cost if I hired it out around 1500 for just the insulation and then he still have to repair the Underbelly so around $2000

​@@Drewsroofingandhomerepairor spend 300 and 2 days to do it yourself. You lose nothing but time you'd spend watching TV, and you learn a lot.

This is actually my own house. I was just showing an example of how to do it. I don’t actually do it for anybody else I don’t like going under homes. Mine was perfectly clean. Most mobile homes are not spiders and snakes I hate them.

Use r-30 insulation for that

You have 2x12 in a double wide??

R19 min r 30 is better in your climates. We don’t get cold weather here

Labor and materials around 4 grand. It’s a lot of work

It’s so the water pipes and the ductwork is inside. That’s why I built a box on mine. 27 is our low temp at night so no worries on the pioes

It cost me $800 for the insulation and about $1000 in labor it’s my house

thank you i really like the videos they have helped a lot.

It’s pex pipe

@@ScrappingwithGrandpa Fittings are wrong. Could be CPVC? Which would be just as bad as Polybutylene.

Everybody around here uses sea PVC. We live in a warmer climate we don’t get much cold as a matter fact this year it’s only got down to 30° four times. That’s one thing I have going for me

@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair From what I've heard, the problem with CPVC is that it becomes brittle with age..... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Wz4BFCIlpKk.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-X8EyE7c8hSs.html So as long as you don't disturb it too much you should be ok. But better to replace it when you have a chance. Especially in the house with the shut off valves. Not good to have a valve break off when you need to shut off the water! Or safely shut off the toilet supply line only to have the valve break off when you put a wrench on the supply line. Of course to be safe, you can simply shut off water to the whole house when working on fixtures.

Interesting. Thank you

Me too

Just a mask

You did a great job

True but it’s mine. Nice are in mobile homes and regular homes as well

I wore mine I just couldn’t get my guy to put his on for crying out loud. He wouldn’t do it. I agree I wore my respirator.

I did I was scared Paul was not

Nice

NO NO NO. 😂 TGEY HAVE TO GO.

I don’t think r 30 is necessary to be honest. Not to mention it is double the price it’s my house. I’m good with our 19.

????

@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair is the fiber glass gona kill me?

Absolutely R 19 in the floors is the minimum R 30 would be the maximum

What is that?? Please tell

@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair Fiberlock AfterShock disinfectant

sorry Shockwave 😆

Where can I buy it. Lowes or amazon

@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair A Janitor Supply house would be best. The place I got it from was only there temporarily for the Hurricane.

Thanks for the tips!

It is probably a good idea to wear a mask when climbing underneath the house and removing insulation, fiberglass and you’re right, I should stick to my words not rules but words

That would probably be a good idea

I could imagine if it supposed to on a regular basis but I don’t think it’s going to kill me for a couple hours.

I shared a video on that.

Thank you very much I’ll take that as a compliment

Thank you very much I’ll take that as a compliment

It wasn't a compliment. People come to your page to be educated, not entertained. Constructive advice

Thank you

I agree ☝️ it was long. I figured you could just fast forward what you don’t want to see. It’s not easy trying to make a video under a house.
