Install a drip edge between your siding and the underpinning. It will stop the rot from happening in the first place.

My husband was the family handyman .. elderly aunts, uncles, and parents called on him to fix things! Everyone of those projects got bigger after we opened up the job! I was his helper and errand girl! I learned a lot from him and you said you didn’t know what you were doing but you were spot on with your bracing and support pieces. Good job Tobin!

We just did that to our 1973 mobile home. We had to level ours as well and replace 50% of the subfloor.

@The5MFamily Год назад

Our subfloor has been such a pain! The ducts under the house leaked air for years, and caused so much moisture under the house. It warped most of the subfloor. We had all the ducts replaced, and have slowly been fixing the floors.

@brendaseminoff615 Год назад

@@The5MFamily you have a advantage over us as our soil is adobe. We could build the pyramids with the soil our home sits on. I noticed your blocking under the trailer. It’s pretty good and with your sub floors, you may want to invest in heavy, mold, resistant wood . We use pressure-treated redwood for framing.

@jessicadrege6527 2 месяца назад

We just had our recently purchased 1978 leveled and are just beginning to get quotes to fix the floors and subflooring. May I ask you what the cost was? This video and the comments in this thread are making me feel like this is all a bit less daunting than I think..

@thefix2573 8 месяцев назад

Good job man. The only thing I would say is the rot is because there's no Z metal (z metal is a flashing shaped like a z that goes behind and under your siding and goes out and over your skirting) and the skirting goes over the siding and it should be the other way around, siding sticks out further than the skirting so water flows over it not under it, like a roof, Get some Big Stretch caulk and caul the top of that trim on your skirting, or Butyl caulk, it comes in white too.

Abiti, Masonite siding. The manufacure of the home did nit prime or paint the bottom of the siding, The under skirting nailed or screwed to the siding not allowing rain to "shed" off of the siding did not help it either.

No sheathing of the outside walls? Just naked studs? How does this not collapse? Can you explain please?

@The5MFamily Месяц назад

What is sheathing? How does what not collapse? We put plastic up between the studs and the new exterior siding. That was shown on video.

@Rhodes-Institute Месяц назад

@@The5MFamily Sheathing is usually 1/2" or so thick 4x8' OSB or plywood sheets which goes on the outside of stickbuilt homes. It ties the wall studs together so they don't fall over sideways. The sheets are nailed or screwed onto the studs.

@The5MFamily Месяц назад

We put that on in the video..

@Rhodes-Institute Месяц назад

@@The5MFamilyThank you. Yes. At 12:58 in the video, it looks like the siding is directly nailed on the studs. This is not criticism, just a request for help understanding how these homes are made. On a stick built, they'd nail sheathing to the studs, then insulating foamsheet, then plastic foil, then stucco or siding. On your mobile home build, the siding goes directly on the studs. Is it supposed to be this way?

When will people learn, that these mobile homes aren't meant to last and are just meant to be temporary living? Even the higher end double wides are just stapled together with the cheapest and crappiest materials around and you'd be lucky for one to make it 20 yrs until it's paid for. These things really need to be banned, they at least should be banned from being sat anywhere near real homes and property owners and just confined to trailer parks.
