How We Saved Our Vintage Mobile Home Bathroom! 

More videos of us working on this mobile home here ➤➤ ru-vid.com/group/PLB6I6KoGYpp7H8ZBJEHzJmLxuSlI3DyJT

I have to say it shocks me Doug that you don't have your own business. In the time I've been watching your videos I've seen you fix just about everything including a roof. An honest hard working guy like you would thrive doing home repairs. It's very impressive. Both of you are great examples for your kids, you have that do it yourself quality that's missing in today's society, well done.

It's looking great I had to laugh at the water valves to the washer being left on glad to see I'm not the only one that forgets things

Always save the old vinyl or linoleum tear it out in one piece and trace it on top of the new linoleum so there’s no measuring saves a bunch of time

Just a couple of tips. 1...get a air tired dolly and some small ratchet straps for moving appliances. Won't tear your floors and more importantly your back. 2..you gotta wear gloves to protect yourself. I put a toilet in new construction at a mall and the sewer line 2nd connected to public restrooms which were already in use. When I tightened the cap nuts the stud came through the dome of the nut...like a can lid so I just thought I'd quick peel it off with my thumb. The brass did not bend but instead cut a perfect scoop out of my thumb. I peroxide it and bandaged it and continued my install. Next day I had to go to the Dr. and found out I had sepsis and he wanted to admit me for intravenous antibiotics. I was under deadline for Grand Opening so I refused so doc gave me some horse pills that worked. But today there are so many diseases like hepatitis and others you must protect yourself. I used to think I was bullet proof too buuut. 3.. When caulking it works to keep a lil bowl of water with dish soap in it and dip your finger in it to smooth your bead....nice clean bead and always be sure to cut your tip on caulk small so not a glob as you smooth the bead. Just some tips from an old man in Michigan...been there done that.....didn't even get a T-shirt

DOUG & ASHLEY HIGH 🖐🏽5IVE & KNUCKLE👊🏽BUMP ! VERY CLEAN NEW LOOK WELL DONE YINZ TWO 👏🏽 ......

Not the nicest job to have to tackle, but you did it and did it well. It looks great! It reminded me of the trailer we used to have, about 30 years ago.

I have a suggestion in reference to your tub door. You can remove that metal frame that holds the accordion door. Use grout or other waterproof goo to fill the screw holes, then put up a tension rod with an shower curtain that is much more easy to keep clean (and much easier to open/close). Over 50 years ago, my father removed the glass sliders from the tub and the shower in the bathrooms in my childhood home because the tracks of the sliders were almost impossible to clean and, of course the glass builds up soap scum. P.S., the floor looks great!

For behind the sink they have peel and stick glass like tiles

With all of the hard work Doug has done, he has saved all of you a lot of money. Also, he knows how to cook, sew, iron and who knows what else.

Doug and Ashley you're a mighty duo. The bathroom looks awesome.

Yall are so cute together, love the spirit your wife has. Comes off as loving. I'm trying to live a life of feeling free n not stressed.

Amazing job done ! Congratulations to both of you. Take care. 😊👍👍👍

super job guys well done bathroom looks great

We restored a mobile home in Florida that we use for a vacation home! Did most of the work ourselves over the years! We painted the paneling to give a fresh, clean feeling. Worked great!!

Bob the Builder Can we fix it? Bob the Builder Yes, we can! 😂😂

Amazing transformation! So bright and clean. Great job by AmazingDuo 🙂

Thank God for men! You, my, dear, have one of the best husbands. I am so glad you have gloves on. I was a little concern earlier. the bathroom is looking great. Great Job you two!

Doug and Ashley Blessings for everyone appreciate your videos Listening 🌼 From Mass USA TYVM 🇺🇸 Doug and Ashley Blessings for everyone

Turn them into planters!! 😂😂😂. Y’all are cute! You could paint that bathroom paneling also and make it look like a whole new room! GREAT JOB 👍👍

The vinyl floor looks great. Like the color a lot better. Great makeover !

You will attack anything. Doug you really are an inspiration! You are both just go getters and I like it! Really nice flooring. Great job!!!

Put some stick on backsplash. They have some good quality ones now a days. It looks much better.

You are a very talented young man! Those older mobile homes are built well so they are def worth fixing up. The bathroom just needs a a nice fresh coat of paint now. You two are a great team! I admire you both.

Good job. Love your channel and how you work round problems. Sarah

99% better! All repairs the average buyer dreads, and done right. Bless you!

You're so smart! You can do it all-plumbing, carpentry, electrical. Saves so much money too.

I would totally paint that bathroom.............it would really brighten it up. You did a fantastic job on the repairs you did! So much better already :)

Doug & Ashley, the Arts & Entertainment Network should give you a program call "Flip this Mobile Home", since you are doing such a masterful remodel and soon to be selling. The bathroom/laundry room is soooo much nicer, great job!

What a good job you did! I think I would paint that bathroom then it will look brand new! But what you did already looks 100 times better!!

Nice job! Water flying across the bathroom. "You forgot to turn off the faucets! Why didn't you think of that? Why didn't you?" Baaaa! Haaaa! Sounds like my bride and me!

watching this for the billionth time, I love the new remo videos, but still love to go back to this house and rewatch.

almost 20 minuets woo hooo

Wow, you guys work quickly and know how to do most anything. You two are also super limber - some of your positions you do such as squatting and jumping over laundry machines would have me on a gurney.

This bathroom looks wonderful, great job!!!💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪

Wow! I love how 1970s the decor is. Can’t believe it’s still original. I’ll miss that vintage linoleum. Yuk #1 yuk #2 lol! Great job. Btw. You guys are adorable Thanks for sharing 🙏

I'm amazed at how great you two are fixing these thing up and making them functional again for such little $. Think about adding some nice paint to that paneling, would brighten it up even more and you can use some appliance paint to freshen up those appliances. Overall, very impressive work.

We covered the counters in our bathroom with Contact paper and it has held up great for years.

I'm wondering if you noticed any of you getting sick from the mold you didn't know you had... I would have ended up in the hospital with my asthmatic issues! You two make it look so smooth and easy. My other half and I would kill each other trying to do a project like that together. You do a really good job.

I solute you both,what a great job you have done on your home. This is how we started many years ago in our old Mobile home and it served us well for the first 21 years of our marriage. We were able to raise two boys in that home. Keep up the good work and be proud of your accomplishments.

I love the shower!! This a very interesting vid considering I went through this about 30 yrs ago..

Looks really nice!

By staying true to the colours and design, you essentially are restoring your home to its original condition. You are doing a remarkable job, you should both be very proud of what you are accomplishing. A couple that can work together like that is truly blessed. Keep up that amazing work.

I am so glad I found this channel. I am buying what is essentially going to be multiple projects. It's all stuff that I feel I am capable of doing, but haven't done before. Seeing you go through this actually gives me hope for being able to do my own.

You two have some Mad Skills, I wished I could knockoff some of the stuff on my Honey-Do-List...Love your videos and your cute little family

Love the new flooring, new sink and new fixtures. GREAT job! QUALITY work! I hope you get to enjoy it a little before some lucky buyer snags your property up! (Go take a shower (bubble bath?) together! ):-) XX

Hey, dont blame Ashley, she didnt unhook the washer, did she. lol it was funny..great job. Lookin good. It does an older heart good to see a young couple doing something good for the next owners of your property. 👍👍 🖖🖖

I like that Doug actually finishes projects. My ex husband would start a project and would get part way through and then lise interest and never finish. One of the many reason he became an ex. The only thing I ever saw him finish was our marriage.

Wow that turned out really nice. After getting the place all spruced up not sure how you'll be able to move! You two work so beautifully together. OOOOPS someone forgot to turn off the washer water supply! lol I like that linoleum. Good buy!

Great job! I love your bargains and how you just go for it. I agree on color on the backsplash. And, y'all are so funny and real. I love the "bloopers" being left in.....the water spraying out.

Wow nice team work looks great!You guys save a ton of money being able to do things yourselves. Maybe paint that worn looking panel wall since the rest looks so good (You know since you have nothing else to do right!Lol!)Great video even with the water accident which is part of life and do it your self projects!Trust me I know all to well!!Lol!

Fantastic job on the bathroom renos. It looks great!

Just started watching your video's. Wow you guys did a great job . The only thing I would have done differently would have been the floor . My husband and I lived in a mobile home and we had to change the whole floor out with new ply wood . That press board will not last long , especially when getting out of the shower wet . Even when our kids were growing up they would splash and get the floor wet, so we just had to change them out completely. My husband remodels and repairs homes and he's had to replace so many floors like that . Anyway.... fantastic job on all the rest of what you did !! That's is hard word !! BYW ...I love how your kids are included . That's so sweet !!

Beautiful, functional, and cost effective bathroom rehab! Thanks.

Doug: 🎶It’s melting the flooor🎶 It’s melting my skinnnn🎶 🤣😳 The bathroom looks great you two

If you have a Habitat for Humanity Restore near they have fantastic things for sale, it would be worth taking a look, since you will be doing so much more work! You're doing great!

Wow - fantastic difference! Love the bloopers - haha - you are so real! Gosh who knew that mold and gross stuff was under there - you can’t even imagine that up! Not only does it look great now you can feel great about using it (especially having little kids). You probably know this already but once you get the tub all cleaned up and buffed - put a coat of car wax on it. That plus your water softener will help the water just bead off. I like the suggestion of another viewer to place any extra linoleum under the sink. That makes it easier to wipe up. Great great job - kudos!!! 😻

You guys are fantastic. To be so young and to know so much. Where did you learn all of this?

This one actually looks to be in pretty good shape for its age, I’ve seen 10 year old mobile homes in worse condition. I think mobile homes get a bad rep simply because many people buy them and trash them. Anything will last if you take care of it and maintain it.

This looks great! If you’re looking for ways to update the things you pointed out- bonds fills the chip in the counter and then you can use the counter top paints- looks like granite! Also stick on “tile” for back splash, it looks like little tiny tile and is easy to install- good luck!

So helpful! I have a vintage 90’s trailer and the toilet needs to come out. Now I know what’s ahead.

Great job you two work so well together. Love your floor looks beautiful.

ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIC JOB YOU TWO!!!! WONDERFUL OUTCOME. BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL.

behind the sink - clear plastic flat sheet - take your measurements and they will cut it for you --paint it the one one side the colour of your choice - you have to paint down the sheet then across the sheet then down the sheet then glue on and looks amazing - you glue the painted side to the wall - we use the same system in kitchens in New Zealand as well as a back splash

Wow! What a transformation! It looks so much lighter and cleaner now - Great job! #TeamOITC strikes again 🙌👍😄

You have a great talent for remodeling!

Fantastic job on the bathroom repairs.

Another job well done. Thank goodness Doug you are a clever cookie and can do the work. (Saving you heaps of money). These attributes will help greatly for the sale. Good on you both. xx

Very impressive job! Plus, I love it at the end when she said "the camera is still rolling!" LOL You guys are too cute!

Great job guys! As a plumber I can say you guys did a great job with what you had to work with! God bless!

looks great! I would have painted the cupboards, that's me though ; )

How about 100 percent better?? Great job! The floor is very nice...a great transformation!! You guys just keep on amazing me...us there anything you can't do??? Lovely!!

When cutting vinyl sheet goods, use a paper pattern! It's a snap! Armstrong used to sell a kit with large sheets of plain white paper you would tape together in the subject space, mark using a little wheel that held a pencil to mark an exact outline of the subject space. Then the pattern was placed over the goods, taped in place and cut following the pattern created. Armstrong was so confident it was idiot proof, that they would replace the goods if you screwed it up using the kit. But that was 1991 or so, When I went to buy the kit a few years back to do our bathroom I could not find the kit anywhere. Then I found three kits at a Habitat ReStore and bought all three. If you can find such a kit - buy it! Also, use thick goods - not those cheap rolls. In a small room, the price difference is insignificant. Thick goods hide small imperfections, fee better underfoot and last longer.

Great work we own a mobilehome in its own property. We did a lot of work and still a lot more to go. We put plywood down in bathroom and stained it and designed it . Photos on Facebook Under photos under album Under fixer upper. We had a huge hole in the laundry room to repair. We have one more sink to repair. And all sinks will work. We have to paint outside. Hate our color also We live near a Lake You two are a very cute couple. Wife mom and a grandma Tiffany Jess Anglin

UGH!So lucky you are not all sick! Could have been worse, much worse! it is so good for your kids to be watching and participating in what you are doing.

Awesome job guys! I love the accident with the water. You guys are so real. I’m looking forward to the new chicks. Hope most of them hatch

Wow! You both are so great. Most worry about making things look good, but you two work on the important things first. Very wise.

YOU TWO ARE MASTERS AT MAGIC ❤❤

I love that ya'll get some amazing deals!!! Just goes to show ya don't need thousands to make things look good! We have a habitat restore in our area and I LOVE that place! I've got some GREAT deals! I appreciate people who re purpose things! Great job guys!!!!!!!

Good job you guys. Looks awesome.

I remember when I bought my property back 12 years ago I loved the area and went to the neighbors and asked if I could have a glass of water just to see what it was like and how it would taste! I wouldn't of bought the property if is was not good we have perfect spring tasting water here. when you buy your new property this is a way to see how it is! I know the softeners are expensive testing and asking some questions goes a long way! good to have good water. Love your video's enjoy the channel.

Oh no! The water from the washer hook-up. Definitely have changed out the countertop, backsplash, and bathroom cabinets, too. Love the upgrades. Really makes a tired place look fresh and inviting.

Great looking bathroom DIY, thanks for sharing.

"and Ashley came in for the win!" You go girl! This was very helpful I'm so glad I came across your video.. or videos I should say because I'm buying a mobile home and looking to remodel pretty much everything 😁 you guys did an awesome job.

Impressive seeing Doug jump on top of the washer like that!

Good job Doug and Ashley perhaps you could pick up some white paint and that would clean up the walls. Usually at the restore you can get some for cheap!

Peel and stick tile backsplash! Love your work you guys are so cute and baby too!

Wow! Looks amazing! Another great job guys 😉

Wow! You guys are so awesome! You just jump in and get it done!

Put a paper filter breathing mask 😷 on when removing it!! You don’t want to breathe in that mold OR sawdust!!

Wow! So much better.

It really helps me watching your videos, cause I don't know much about mobile homes: plus my mobile home is a 1973 single wide skyline

Looks great! The washing machine hose blast is what my daughter would call "pulling a daddy". I end up doing something like that with every project I do.

Great job you two

Great job!

You both do a very good job as a team, even your kids help out. Great parenting you two!. I've owned 6 mobile homes. Done a lot of r&m. I'm driven by these words "if it was built by a man. I can fix it!" Thanks for a wholesome program.

looks very nice guys good job

Wonderful bathroom makeover! I’m interested in how you fix the chip in the counter top! 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏

It is looking good. I would suggest buying some vinyl wall covering. It comes in sheets of 4x8 at your big box stores for about $20 per sheet. This will help keep any moisture off the walls in the bathroom and is great for a back splash in kitchens. Me and my husband remodeled our bathroom in our mobile home and instead of using the brown panels like yall have in your home, which was what we had also, we chose the vinyl because it can be easily wiped down and doesn't hold stains and dirt like paint does. It is also good to use for a back splash for those who keep their trash can against the wall or beside the kitchen floor cabinets. It's a great barrier for food splashing onto the walls. All you have to do is wipe it down with cleaner. And since it is already white, there is no need to paint, and your bathroom stays bright, instead of the ugly brown that older trailers have. We are about to redo another bathroom in one of our rental trailers, that someone lived in for about 10 years, and didn't tell us about a leak from the toilet and ended up with a hole in the floor. Unfortunately everything must come out and walls have to be replaced in this project due to mold. But it is fixable.

What an improvement!!
