Mobile Home Rim Joist Repair. 

Without theese videos to go to I would never attempt to do what I'm going to on my home. Thanks Big time!!

I’ve been watching this mobile home repair and I think to myself “what’s taking them so long to repair these floors”? Then on tonight’s episode, I can see the floor joists are just completely rotten along with the perimeter sill. No wonder its taking so long to repair! You are doing a complete repair of the floors and beams! Thank god for men like you that really repair the damage. If I lived nearby, you would surely be the man I would call to fix my home. Thank you and all the repairman out there!

Thanks Drew. Your videos are the most informative I've found online.

I learn so much from watching these videos. The brace really makes sense.

Master Drew what i see on this house is totaly rehab.. the work you did.. i would say from imposible to posible... you gave life back of this house.

Hey guys, really appreciate you videos. I'm in the middle of a remodel and reference your work regularly. Keep it up!

Watching this while sitting in line at the scrap yard.

I fix a lot of mobile homes . I live in West Virginia they are built fast on lines and there not built like stick built homes. People I fix there homes they will say why are they built this way. One they are weight restricted for being put on roads for delivery. So there design is for those reasons for one. The other is to get them built fast to send out to sale as fast built homes for people who rent home spaces so they can relocate them some were else if you want to. And are affordable then a lot of stick built homes. There good for there purpose.and all Homes stick built or these need repairs done over time. Nothing last forever.

Truly appreciate this. I have to do this repair in our trailer soon

Hey, thanks for the videos, I'm doing a trailer for my sister that's as bad or worst.learned alot from the video's. Lot's of freekin work for sure.i just keep plugin away

I'm having to do this But right nowI am having to replace the forward trim that sits on the metal frame, so I can start replacing the trim joists and the floor joist coming towards the back.

Some great work going on.

I have tinnitus so I cannot tell whats being said . Are they replacing just the damaged piece of the rim joist ? How is one run of rim joist butted to the other? Are they just toe nailed to each other ( seems unlikely ) or is there a short piece of 2x6 sandwiched to the Rim joists joining them lying between the two nearest floor joists ?

Hey guys. I love watching you work . I think because you let the camera just keep rolling. One question am I crazy or is there a bunch of critters living and dead under the trailer ?

Another awesome video

If just on floor joist end is bad for about a 1 or so, would that be ok to just double up new floor joists to the new section of rim joist? I'd hate to have to tear up more floor to get a more secure attachment for the new floor joist.

This looks just like my trailer. It’s completely trashed but it’s mine

My question is this, “Can the walls be reinforced to support a heavier roof?

Hope you are feeling great and not over doing it.

Do all mobile homes have screws with the weird rectangular bit head? I can’t find a bit that will fit it and all of them I’ve tried making myself won’t work for very long lol…

First

👍👍👍👍👍

I've never seen 2X4 floor joist's! Mine are 2X6's and run length wise, big PIA...

here in ct. probably only reason to rebuild that mess,,because your not allowed to replace?,,,just a guess
