Good job! The trim looks great. The chicks are doing so well, and so tame, too! Little Maverick was so cute wanting to sit with one.

When I replaced the wood trim around my windows on the inside I used old barn wood. Took a lot of sanding an staining but end result was out standing. You 2 work so hard but what you create is wonderful.

I love that you use what’s available, and make something useful out of unexpected materials. I would recommend that your darling kids wear shoes when out in the farm, and especially when playing with the chicks.

Speaking from experience.....if you put two coats of primer and two coats of a lite paint you can get that money back plus. People hate those brown paneled walls but for some reason are afraid to paint it. Brown paneled walls look so depressing but when it's lightened up it lightens up the mood. I think what you two are doing is great!

I've been watching your channel for a little while, and yesterday, my husband came in during the painting of the mobile home video, and we ended up BINGE watching all of your videos from the mobile home remodel! We enjoyed them very much and we both love how you don't hide the "Oops" moments and how you explain what and why you are doing it the way you do! We are also very frugal and really like the fact that you reuse and recycle materials when you have a chance. I'm really looking forward to seeing what the next property will be like and the work you'll do in the future!

The real life " Out in the Country " . Good family values.

You both do such nice work! Be careful about keeping the trailer "vintage" looking..........you will sell much faster if it's airy, light and appealing. You don't want anything to look dated, and prospective buyers feeling like they need to come in and paint right away!

Ohoooo I love you guys so much...I'm 66 yr's young ….I remember when we did all of the work you guys do ...I love all of you and your little family,....blessings to all of you.

OK, I am a new subscriber, and I love your family. I enjoy seeing all your projects. The windows look great. But, I cannot lie, my favorite part of this videos was watching those beautiful kids with the chickens. So sweet! God Bless you all. Best regards from Kansas. :)

Great videos! Great family life! Keep it real!

Maverick was so gentle with the chicks, such a sweet boy and Belle teaching him to pet them, what a good big sister. Great job on the trim kids!👍💛

Very ikeable people. People you would like for neighbors and friends. love your chanel.

If you paint the walls in the trailer it will make a world of difference especially in selling it. It will look brighter and bigger and clean. Maybe even rent a air sprayer and spray every wall white. You’d be shocked at how brand new it would look.

You two always do such a nice job. I think the trim looks amazing. Honestly I like the brown.

Looks like someones “oops” worked out great for you. Love the color with the paneling.

That turned out nice. I did the same thing with my last trailer. One thing I did that yall might like, was I went to lowes and got the cheapest blinds they had. I messured the inside of the window seal and got the ones that would fit perfectly. On some I had to get a little bet bigger and then trim them down. Then I would set them about 3/4 open on down site. Then I put the storm windows on the inside of the home. That way my babys and the dog could not tare them up. And it helped during the winter. But that's what I did.

I think painting the the window side trim and the moulding the same color was a good choice.

Turned out great!Nice way to keep cost down.The Chickens are so tame and beautiful they are turning out to be pets.Lol!

You have really increased the value of the place and it will pay off well for your new home. Good work to you both!

I actually like the paint on the trim...looks nice. I know you must be weary of all the work, but it will pay you greatly when you sell! Little Maverick sure is a cutie pie!!

Love the little ones with the chicks

I once purchased an old farmstead and spent nearly $30,000.00 renovating a 100 year old barn. When the time came to sell and the realtor told me my "expected" listing price, there was almost no influence with the barn. Realtor explained that even though the barn was an incredibly beautiful and functional building, the majority of a properties value is in the home and land it is built on. I hope your region of real estate affords the two of you a good return on your barn and home...you two are a good team.

What a wonderful family. ...where did you find the lovely, gracious, hardworking, Ashley. I thought they broke the mold in 1960.

you can use half water and half paint and put on with a cloth, colors the wood but shows the grain and goes on real quick. Just a thought for future projects, very cost effective.

I think the window trim looks perfect.

Great job guys. I love Maverick and the chickens, he is so sweet. I also love the trim drying rack (ladder).

Your choices for the window trim was awesome. You're so right that the size suits the trailer, and the color. It all works. You're both such hard workers. Just in the short time I've been watching, it's gone from a fixer upper to ready to sell. Congrats, guys. Good work. Love the baby trying to have a sit down with the chicken and sister trying to help. What else could you want.

I think your window casing and trim look perfect! Great job! Love the footage of Belle and Maverick and the chicks. So adorable, the kids and chicks!

Resourceful use of materials and l like the finish; the brown does work for that space. I just hope it's new owners appreciates the time and energy you are putting into it for their comfort. I enjoyed some of your metal detector Monday video's yesterday. It all looked strangely satisfing! Hope you're all having a great day. 🤗

I was just telling my self today how am i gonna replace this window trim on my trailer and now i know how. Thanks for the video.

Looks great! Can't wait for the "finished" complete walk thru!

Another fantastic job. Your attention to detail makes it all work. I would never have thought that you could get away with using plywood, but your windows look great.

Bell is so sweet. How cute.

You really are the frugal king.

Plugging away! I've stripped painted trim and doors in 2 houses now. I also have a abhorrence to painted wood. It's a chore to do, but the end results are so worth in. Blessings ~

Another job well done guys! 👍🏾The window frames look great! 🤩❤👍🏾

if you have never done this for a living i would be surprised. Both of you work well with each other Keep on Keeping ON

I think the trim looks rather nice. It makes everything cohesive.The mobile home reminds me of a cool vintage air stream :-)

I love the way the wood turned out. You guys have really improved that home 100%! Maverick with the chicks ! Too cute!

I think you did a good job on the windows and trim. If I were to walk in there and didn't know what you had done, I would simply assume it was always there and kept up. I wouldn't expect to see anything different.

I really like your channel! The way you work together, too, is so nice. You two remind me of ‘sport casters’. Doug, you ‘call the plays’ & describe what’s going on in the ‘game’?, & Ash is the ‘stats & numbers’ person, giving background & more detailed info. (I did radio news for over 15 yrs.). Keep up the good job!!! 👏😁!

That boy and the chicken...turned my crap night right around. Greatest thing I’ve seen all day. 💙

The windows look great. Maverick soon to be the great chicken whisper! Thanks for sharing!

This family is so cute and reminds me of one I used too have .

OITC, you do beautiful work.

Hi Doug and Ashley, i think the trims look great, the brown fits in with the brown groove in the paneling. The chickens are really growing fast. So cute, Maverick wanting to sit on the chair with the chickens. I just realised you have 18k subscribers and over 4500 views for this video, that's awesome.

The way you are able to put your ideas together and make them work is ingenious. And everything looks so nice.

Awwwwe a boy and his chicken! And the window trim looks so good!

Good luck on your sell. You've done an amazing job. Hope you find the property of your dreams

Nice job, you guys are so nearly there. Keep up the good work💞

Using the step ladder for a drying rack. What a great idea

Hahaha... Maverick taking the chicken for a sit. lol so dang precious. Belle too. Such a great sister. The mibile home is looking great!

Great solution! What a difference that makes!

Awsome detail, and so creative on how you solve things and use what is on hand. Also its great to see the kids enjoying the chicks and having a great day. I think it gies well with the look of the trailer and the hallway wont be dark because of the wall you guys made that lets in light. Also i cant wait for you guys to reach 20k! Keep growing and i will follow your journey. Have you guys thought of patreon? Or designing a shirt with the QITC logo? Maybe Bell can help design. Just a thought. Have a great day you two.

If its water based paint, you can water it down and it looks more like a stain/glaze. We are fixing up an old mobile home too, thank you for sharing!

Would purchasing bare land and building "from scratch" to suit both of your individual artistic building ideas be something you are considering? Totally making it your own. I am always glad to see your new video postings. You two are very inspiring- despite my being twice your age.

With your tips and tricks, I can tell you have done these things many times. It's great to know how to do things without having to figure out everything. God Bless and God Speed with getting your new place.

That looks perfect! 👍👌

Looking good and making a lot of progress in a short time! Hoping you get it listed and sold soon so you can find your new home soon. Enjoying watching your journey. 😊

That was precious. They are precious little children that God gave you.

The trim looked really good , but your little guy stole the video with the chicken that was precious .

Great job! Can’t wait to see when it’s completely finished. Your baby is adorable.🤗🙋🏽

One can do a bazillion interesting things with plywood!

I am building a new home and am using good on side plywood and it looks great. Yours looks great also.

Looks better than I expected, great work and using what you've got to save is always nice too. Take care, many hugs, much love and peace. Blessings

The trim really did come out nice!!

I was sceptical about painting the trim. I was like please finish it. But it honestly looks way better then I expected. Great job!

My handyman is trimming out my kitchen window right now, using left over plywood from a previous project. I want a window sill and a shelf on top of the window! I have a 2006 16x80 MH. I don’t want to waste anything! Great video.. I might be able to do this myself!

Nice job. I have one suggestion to brighten up your hallway... paint the panel white. With the widow trim brown white walls will lighten up the hallway. I am new to your channel. You have done alot to get your home ready to sell. Hope it all works out.

Thank you for your videos, they are AWESOME!

Well done doug good paint job from ashley second in command good finish on windows even maverick and bell had some chick fun but it's looking more awesome I had a great time watching this clip best wishes

We ripped plywood into 6" wide planks and made shiplap in our old farmhouse restoration. I've got a video on my channel of how it turned out. Love your channel!

Just like eye make-up. It works.

Looking good I'm sure you're hard work will pay off

The color is very nice and on here it looks more gray then a brown. Nice work.

Oooh I like that no primer trick! That really looks neat! I'm planning to do fakeout shiplap using thin plywood or underlayment, and now I'm going to do a section without primer first. I think it'll be cool.

The trim looks fantastic!!!

Your kids are so friendly with each other. Great ideas on the trim!

OH I had missed this one. Trim looks great. I admire your enthusiasm all the time .. Hugs across the oceans ,,,

You should build a bat house. They are great to have around. I helped my granddaughter build one a few years ago and we had bats in it almost instantly. We put it above the door of my barn.

Is so nice that kids aren't afraid of the chickens

You both have/are doing an amazing job😃👍🏽

Awesome job you two!!

Looking good!! Prayers for a nice return on all your hard work! Blessings to your sweet family!!

Love watching, but need more. lol

10:30 tan dan dan dan batman. I didn't know that the batcave was inside a gutter, I thought it belonged to Gotham City. Careful the Joker can be around. LOL

Every thing is coming along very nicely. Janice

Maverick and the chicken, love it.

wow I lost touch with you all ! Great channel wow you are so much more comfortable on film,as a Mobile Home Homesteader I totally understand living in one and love it !

I love your mobile home its awesome

It turned out very nice! Again , a great job! 😊😊😊

Love watching your renovation. Your windows look so nice. We’ve done the same renovations you are doing to a rental trailer that was trashed by renters. We also live in a double wide that we bought new but have lived in for 40 years now, so we’ve redone about everything in it.

another great job..i love watching the progress

Woo Hoo the time is soon approaching !! Great job guys it all looks fantastic. Loved Maverick and Belle with the chicks..cute. xx

Maverick was having fun with the chicks. LOL. The trim really came out nice guys looks really good.

sumting i seen other builders use is a few sheets of insulation , they lay it on the floor lay the material over it and saw through it and intoo the insulation the insulation supports the material and youre weight and makes it verry eazy to saw it without the blade hitting the ground

You are doing such a wonderful job. The trip looks Great.

It all looks so awesome, I just water my paint down and make my own stain 🤷‍♀️ it works. Lol. Job well done ❤️

Oh wow that’s such a great job , you are both so super sufficient Xxx
