hey everybody my name is sam and i'm angela and welcome to our channel
welcome back to the next part of our mobile home renovation of our 1988 palm harbor
single wide mobile home perfect you nailed it i was coaching you along with my mouse here
so we are going to bring you along on our moving day and let you experience a little
bit of it with us wait moving day yes getting the boys out of our room that's right today is
the day that the boys move out of the room and into their own bedroom we started the day off
by painting the trim on the floor and the window and sam put up many one of the next
finishing touches we want to do is put window blinds up here in this new bedroom because as
the sun rises we don't necessarily want the boys waking up and then waking us all up because hey
kids need to sleep as long as possible and the parents should always be the first to wake up
so to give us as much hope as possible we bought some room darkening blinds and we got the thicker
i think it's about two inch depth or thick blinds they're not the top quality by any means but
they're not the bare bones cheapest either we have the same set in the bedroom and they've worked up
well so we think they'll do okay here given the environment they're going to be subjected to
well they're like perfect depth too
oh yeah one down one to go
it is i mean talk about setting the bar pretty high for anything else we do in this house huh
so in our last video i made a mention about a diy project or cool thing for the boys for when
we move them into their bedroom now i've got to go ahead and do a disclaimer that i think i may
have falsely hyped them up so be prepared to be let down perhaps although i still think what we
did was really cool and i say i and we but it was totally your idea yeah um so the boys have a set
of bunk beds that are wooden that actually came from my family when my little brother was little
so we got there i guess a hand-me-down but they're nice solid wood and they can be
set up either as separate beds or as a bunk bed they've been in a bunk bed in our room for like
months right throughout this renovation we've all been little house on the prairie style
one bedroom family type thing and since the boys have used them in the past they've also
been drawn on their feathers have been ruffled with markers crayons
and pens like you name it so we needed to make them nice again so we decided to cart
all the pieces down to sam's workshop and give them a nice sanding and a new coat of finish
so sanding is not anyone's favorite thing to do at all but thankfully it went pretty quickly we
mainly just hit what you would see as the beds are assembled and the really the bad spots as
you described were abused or whatever the finish we chose was a plain shellac finish
nice food safe finish no odor and more importantly dried really quickly because
we did all this disassembly strip refinish and everything on moving day
we just carried all the bed pieces up from the workshop they are freshly refinished we sanded
them all down and everything and then reapplied a coat of clear shellac i think it looks pretty good
it kind of gave them a facelift type thing yeah so these are bunk beds but they also work separately
so the way we're going to put them up is as two twin beds one of the things we learned throughout
this whole endeavor of sharing a room is that we didn't exactly like the idea of elijah being on
the top of a bunk bed the time we were spending all together in the same room was the first time
he had been on top of a bunk and we just didn't like it there were some safety concerns or we
just didn't want him to fall out of it so we are not going to be setting these up as bunk beds we
realize that does lose floor space but that does kind of pay us back and the effect of the boys
will have their separate spaces you know one will have their bed the other will have theirs
green blue right if they get sent to the room because they're in trouble
they're separated so there's a little more hope of maintaining sanity in the house that way now
we looked at getting new beds and kind of finding some with storage inside and kind of you know
dreaming really but new beds were way too expensive like 200 or more per bed which is just
more than what we really want to be able to do yeah no this project has taken enough of our money
so by doing our time that's what we gave to do redo these beds and then we can get under the bed
storage bins or build them or something that will still get the maximum use out of it so now with
everything in the room we're going to go ahead and put the beds together let's go beat you to it
okay all right isaac here's a job for you make sure this doesn't fall over okay
if i give you one of these you can like start it in the bottom one just so it's not on the ground
mine didn't have a washer on it did it add a washer oh yeah nevermind it did
did you pick a pretty one for his yeah looks good i'm gonna choose
a pretty one part this out a bit trying to make the best five face forward
so
i don't know see if you can do it
pull that corner towards the front walk towards the window
almost there you go you're doing it cool
so strong ah ah super strong one screw is not in out what that's okay watch out
okay bye don't ever come out
oh it's easier
all right
okay
all right so we are done with the we'll say first bit of furniture move with the bedroom
because we've got to get pretty creative with some storage solutions in here it's one of those things
that you can't really tell how it's going to be until you put everything in there yeah definitely
but at least it gets the boys in their room they can sleep in here they can play in here which
is most important and it gets us this much more room out of our bedroom so that's nice
isaac isaac was in that corner over there on top of the other one
we wanted to get a good rug for the boys room and we wanted it something to be a little more
kid-friendly or kid-like instead of just the plain old regular rugs that you get for your
living room or whatever we both found one that is pretty cute so we'll have to see what you think
how's it feels on your toes good not hard floor
the robot can be items or healthy
truth be told we are now about a week and a half after the boys have moved in the room it has taken
us this long to finally source dressers for the room both that would fit size-wise but also fit in
our budget the next best thing we could find price wise was still like 150 to 200 a piece and we just
really didn't want to do that so what i did was i went on amazon shocker and i found some i won't
i won't say modular dressers but kind of different dressers that were much more affordable and i
think work pretty good in the space the big thing was it had to be a dresser that was 28 inches or
less but was still big enough to hold all their clothes per kid because there's one per kid right
and like he said they were like outrageous and we wanted two that matched so we didn't really want
to go you know facebook marketplace craigslist anything like that because it's impossible to
find two that match that would fit that criteria yeah the biggest or the most difficult thing was
definitely the width so he found those we got them put together okay i got them put together with
elijah's help and they fit and work perfectly in addition to the two dressers we also picked up a
smaller shorter i don't know if it's a dresser or a console like for a tv either way if it's perfect
here below the window like he didn't measure before but it like literally goes right underneath
the edge of the window so that was awesome it's awesome and it gives the boys a little
countertop to play on in their room plus more toy storage which is definitely needed yeah definitely
on my bed it's full
hmm
i got it making sure we know it's very hard to get a really good grasp of how large or small a
room is with video and on youtube videos so a lot of you had really been giving us some
great suggestions on you know put a desk at the window or do a built-in seat and this that and
the other honestly we just don't have the room but the furniture pieces we have i think fit the
room really well very much the short little low dresser here at the front windows gives them the
surface if they want to draw or something although they really just play on the floor mostly it also
gives them extra storage for some toys and stuff like that it also acts as a nightstand or table
of sorts they can put their fan there if they want to have it at night because they like to
sleep with that kind of noise on and then there's also like elijah's lava lamp and stuff like that
so i know it's kind of early but is there anything about this room or project that you would change
no me either i really really like how this all turned out yeah this is like the brand new house
look on the end of the house while the rest of it now the kitchen is really nice too since it
got redone but yep we still have uh some work to do here but this is really really nice the friends
and family who have seen this or been in this space here are just really surprised at how nice
it feels because you're in here and it doesn't feel like a mobile home at all right so we also
really really raise that bar high for anything else we do in this house darn of next stuff going
on we do have our bathroom renovation and that is still you know right now tool storage so stick
around for that if you're not a subscriber of our channel and you kind of like renovations or diy
projects we have a bathroom we need to finish out we've renovated we're all partially renovated we
also have hallways new front door and all sorts of other things to do that is definitely probably the
keystone of our channel is do yourself projects home improvement and stuff like that we're always
