hey everybody sam here and angela and welcome to our channel now that our house has made it safely
to our new property in tennessee and now that we are again playing the hurry up and wait game as
far as the big things lining up with contractors we decided to take matters into our own hands
with some tools since we have to go ahead and wait like you said we're going to go ahead and get to
work we are in our master bedroom our bedroom and we need to get rid of everything and start over
pretty much yep this is one of the rooms one of almost the last room in the house that we have not
renovated or done anything we painted and moved in that's about it so it is the original mobile home
drywall it's really really thin weird stuff the strips on the wall it's the original floor that
looks like it's probably been patched about 6 000 times and looks like a potato chip yep and
some old crusty carpet this is the carpet that was in here whenever we got the house and it
had been through many iterations of renters so yeah now we did steam clean it before we
moved in okay just a little heads up on that right right okay i forgot but right right
even though this is going to be a full room demo we are going to start out by taking out
the drywall and putting it in the trailer that we conveniently parked right in front of our windows
come on
you put your tools down use your hands
oh
i can't see anything um
oh yeah
tell everybody where you going don't buy bye guys i'm gonna go see my friend jack
do
do do
foreign
so 20 minutes later and the drywall is out of the bedroom and in the trailer outside and it looks
much different but um yeah much different i guess i wouldn't say better no not better yet it is nice
to see what was behind the drywall we are okay you might be dismayed but we are pleasantly surprised
at the quality of the insulation the overall look and feel of the studs and really we don't
have too much crazy work to do no to give yourself a little bit of a what do we consider crazy rewind
back to our channel when we did our kitchen renovation when we started it we opened up
an eight foot wide section of our whole exterior wall wide open and rebuilt it back and everything
that was crazy it was this is not so crazy so if you've not seen that video it's an older one but
we'll put a link to it below and you can check it out that by far was the craziest thing yes well
we have decided that we're going to change our closet which is right here behind us a little bit
right now our bed is on this wall behind sam that you can't really tell what anything is right now
right i'll be the bed well we don't have a whole lot of room at all on either side of the bed to
get in and out and we don't really use our closet a whole lot except for like hanging up some shirts
nothing big right it's a walk-in okay a walk-in closet of the 80s yeah in a single wide so
yeah we don't walk into it we don't like to at least so what we're going to do is pretty much
push it back to be even with the wall where the door is getting rid of the bump out yep
we need to demo this area but it'll also allow us to replace the floor that's underneath that wall
so it's not going to be all jagged and everything it's going to be like one nice uniform piece
yeah if you've never worked on a mobile home of this vintage they put the floors down then they
put the walls up and apparently if they were to frame a wall over top of a floor joist they
would get penalized because they never did so over time the walls kind of sink you get hammock floors
we want to avoid hammock floor here at the closet and get more space in our room
and that was one reason that we did the boys bedroom and bathroom together
is because it had the whole sinking bathroom wall thing that we had to fix hammock floor
so we did all of that at once we're doing all of this at once a lot less of a let's say renovation
though thank goodness it's just a closet so let's continue on into the corner there go sit in the
corner so i have on here the square bit because that's what mobile homes used were square screws
if that makes sense i'm going to see if we can take apart the wall instead of trying to cut it
or drag it out and create more work hopefully fingers crossed these screws come out okay
you can put a false back in now we got a jailbird window
hey it's good we're doing this before the septic goes in since it's going to be like right there
or not okay well sweet say just a trip to the workshop
don't mess up that beautiful popcorn everybody loves the popcorn ceiling
so here is what is going to be our lovely closet
it went probably about half the size but that's all we normally ever used so here's the closet and
here is the spice rack that we put in and we just kind of painted the back of it it was kind
of recessed and everything but i guess we're gonna have to find out something else to put right there
i don't know a new drywall will just cover that right yeah or just a piece of little
plywood right here pin it to the back we'll figure it out because you really
like having a spice rack on the wall right yes i do okay so that's staying got to fix it
in the meantime it's uh i don't know pass through well there's one more big thing that has to get
out of here today and then we'll call it a day that's going to be this nasty old carpet
so we're going to try and roll it up and throw it out the window
oh my gosh there's a baltic birch over here look at all the dust on it
so how are we rolling we're rolling or folding her i don't know
so
you got a part that's still attached
so
yeah look at all that dust look at all that baltic birch that's the reason i really did this project
so
well you feel pretty accomplished i do and i'm actually not stopped up and everything
because i remember to wear a mask the whole time yep safety first stopped up second
i'll get stopped up anyway but that's allergies that's not like stuff in here
so i like insulation doesn't bother me yeah my arms are all itchy and i didn't even mess with the
stuff directly true you just looked at it i did talk about the floor and how much you love carpet
yeah i've known for probably since we did the kitchen renovation and i had to pull
up the edge of the carpet and i saw how much dust was underneath it i have a dust stall
or dust mite allergy so that's just like to me and so i knew from then on we are getting rid
of this carpet yeah we've never been fan of carpet anyway mainly because you clean them
and they look clean but they don't really feel clean it has all this underneath yeah and even
if you use a carpet cleaner with liquid and everything still not going to be clean
so that's why we are going to get rid of carpet in here we may have a rug for the cold winter months
but otherwise it'll be a lot easier to clean yes i think we're gonna do the same kind of flooring
that we did in the boys bedroom renovation um we really really like that brand flooring it
is 100 waterproof easy to install and a pretty forgiving product as far as the user errors that
may creep up here and there so who are user errors i don't know maybe other user errors oh okay not
us we either get it right or the floor won't help you so i think it feels much bigger in here going
to be quite a change it's going to be so weird because we've lived here so long with it like this
we've not lived here at all yet this is tennessee well okay lived in here for so long right yeah
it's kind of weird didn't you look out that window that's not north carolina it's to the seagrass
anyway squirrel i like the closet no longer going to be a walk-in closet and just a place
for us to put clothes racks right which is how we use a closet anyway so it's going to be no
less usable space than what we're used to having and that much more floor space or bedroom space
right so very cool well you feel accomplished with today's work i do we're good we can call it stops
for the day most definitely all the drywall is out of here the crusty carpets out of here and
uh yeah the trailer in the closet oh yeah in the closets out of here peace out closet so now the
grungy work gets to start the next time yeah yeah well guys thanks for coming along as we
destroyed our bedroom hope you had some fun i had some fun tearing it out how about you
yeah yeah yeah i'm not a demologist if you have any questions or comments leave
them below otherwise we'll see you guys next time on the homestead see ya bye
here we go we have to start by taking out the drywall and that type stuff first
is that it waiting for the camera to find my face face
there it is and that was one reason and that was
what were you saying wait where where am i here i am oh i got the beard cramp
i keep wearing a mess but it's better than that see you guys next time on the homestead see ya bye
you realize right through the shower we had the blocking would we do shortchange ourselves and not
care about the shower ride i don't know people's gonna be wondering what is sam talking about look
at this madness when we put this new shower in we did a 2x6 for blocking and support but
what is that i didn't do it high enough for the shower rod door
things always fell down the drywall's busted i just showed you sam and angela before youtube
you
