good morning everyone sam here and angela and welcome to our channel so today is the day
that um okay maybe the second most anticipated day for you guys yesterday was the house move
today is the walk through to see what's changed what's destroyed what has happened inside
let's hope nothing we don't know but we're going to take you guys with this real time
as we find out let's go i can unscrew it i'll unscrew it for you guys let me
what is that it looks like the paperwork for the permit for the anchoring system and other things
oh i see all right the time has arrived but it's time for us to go in the house for the
first time since it's here on our new property we have this metal strap that we put on here as
a safety measure so the doors didn't pop open with so the first thing to do is to take the strap off
and then open the doors assuming one of us has the keys to the house
i will go ahead and say that this is very painful for me to put a screw in our brand new doors
trim but you got to do some things to make some things happen i guess
nobody cares about my hand i do yay
all right for this first tour of the house i'm going to take the technical aspect of
the tour with you guys and then angela will take you through the the touchy-feely type
aspect because that's just how we roll here in the living room there's really nothing for
us to talk about or show that's changed because nothing really has changed we left this drywall
unfinished on purpose because when we actually got to the point of
hanging the drywall we knew we were moving and we saw no point in finishing the drywall
to move and have to fix it so here in the living room there's really nothing to share or show
let me take you guys in the boys bedroom that's the most concerned point we had with the move
in here we are very glad that there is no
drywall explosions nothing is like destroyed or on the floor and there's only the very minutest
level of things we gotta tweak go ahead and the green wall first
if you look closely you'll be able to see a crack that runs horizontal which is at the joint of the
drywall so this is a little bit of touch-up area to fix there's no no changes or degradation of the
drywall it's just the joint probably where it flexed and just kind of broke the paper
that should be easy enough to sand apply a thin coat of mud and go back to just fixing it fine
up here at the top you can see where the crown molding meets the ceiling
there's a little bit of cracking looks like some of the popcorn paint or ceiling came down a little
bit there as far as just like the layer another easy small little cosmetic fix no problem there
there's nothing to speak of with this whole front wall which is a very big surprise because there's
a lot of drywall transitions and angles our led recessed lights the windows it's a very busy wall
it's amazing to see that it didn't move there's not even any cracks that we've noticed so that is
awesome one thing that we've noticed in this room and the others and where we have the upgraded
floor moulding we've added some of the joints have separated and moved we figure it's because
the house move yes but some of them don't go back like they were and we're attributing that to the
fact that probably our home in north carolina settled because it was not on concrete footers
and the fact that the home now has been forced kind of level again that some of the interior
carpenterian trim has been tweaked a little bit nothing is bad it's very easily fixed and won't be
any problem to fix at all but it's something that we've noticed that we'll point out for you guys
all right going on in this way the boys bathroom or the front bathroom this turned
out really really well there's no issues with any of the fixtures the tub surround
the vanity there is a horizontal crack it's not it's right about this level but inside
remember this is a pocket door so this wall is more flimsy than usual so i figured that it really
jiggled a lot and that's just kind of where it took the stress and relieved itself i guess of
the stresses so it's another superficial crack the actual drywall itself has not completely broken
it's just kind of a crack of the paper so no big problems there either
again going through the living room nothing really to speak of uh recliner did ride fine apparently
looks like i guess one of the boys has already said in it tell by the dirt shadows they leave
on in here in the dining room we have a separation there a crack of the paneling
again superficial same kind of thing going on here with the floor molding some of them have separated
maybe a little cracks here and there but still just superficial issues
here in the dining room what you can see behind me are the last of the windows that we've never
replaced these are not original to the home but they were in the house whenever we bought it
and they're they're ugly and crusty we have great hopes and dreams that we can put a sliding glass
door in this place so that's why we always left them but i say all this to point out that there
is some more hairline cracks of the drywall joints at the top and around the bottom again superficial
so nothing really to worry about as we go into the kitchen we have great news all of our cabinets are
still on the walls everything is still as solid as it was in north carolina the over the range
microwave road safe and sound and really there's not much to speak of in here there's no horrible
disasters to share or anything really amazing like trashed to show either which is all good news
so we we appreciate that at least there's a video on our channel that is well pretty old at this
point but it's one where we show how to remove the strips on the walls of a mobile home and kind of
tape and spackle and mud the joints to hide them here on this back wall is an area where we did
that a common question we get from that video is hey it's been x number of years since you did this
how's it held up have you noticed any cracks we had no problems with cracks at all until the home
was moved but even now after the fact it's still superficial and will be a piece of cake to fix
all right the last room to show there's really not much to show in here this is our bedroom
and this room has not been touched the only thing we've done in here is the new windows and way
back when we kind of moved in maybe a year later we did a little miniature bathroom renovation but
otherwise nothing has changed in here because well it's still like classic mobile home
strips on the walls not a new floor that kind of scenario so nothing really to show you guys here
nice the last thing i was checking is how the doors align in their jams and that one is still
great which is honestly it's really amazing to see the house slid down off our hill hauled over here
set back up the fact that the door jambs are still aligned and great is really really cool
so basically inside it's not really changed much but looking outside it's totally weird on the
front we're used to seeing the heel go down a good ways and here it's pretty flat but it kind of goes
up some and it's so much more open looking in the back in the living room or wherever it's woods and
so this is where the boys normally play you know it's going to be nice to have our play area and
get together do stuff out here but it's so cool that it's woods now where before it went straight
up behind the house here in the boys room um it's a lot lower than it was so the ground is
a lot closer than it was which would be good if they ever need to get out the window for a fire
or something like that we also get to see all of our buildings from here our workshop my soap
shack our garden everything like that the boys will be able to see from their bedroom window
one of the things i knew would change a whole lot is my kitchen window view
because as most people know when you're standing in the kitchen you're almost
always at the kitchen sink doing dishes preparing food that type thing and my view
is a lot more open i can see mountains in the distance and it's just it's so nice and open
well there we go there is the house tour the new house tour can we say the new house tour
i guess so it feels like a new house on the
i don't know either way we're really happy with you know the level of fix that we have to do
is really nice it's superficial that is really very nice very much so so as far as um
what's the next big steps for this when we're moving in what are we going to do with the house
we have to have our septic system installed we have to do our water and drain system from
the house power is also included and then of course our basement or crawl space foundation
underpinning and that kind of thing we also have to do porches front and rear and i believe that's
it for our co or a certificate of occupancy from the county to say yep you're good you can move
in your house legally that being said there are other things we're going to do in this time that
you have ideas for yes i'm going to be working on the inside of the house right now there is dirt
and junk all over the floor just from us moving stuff in and out so i have some cleaning to do
and then now is a good time to go ahead and repaint the rooms that we want to
and we're going to have to repaint some of the areas that we have to do the touch-up
spackling and that and that type of thing this is also very much the time that you see all the
little scratches and dents and stuff like that on your walls so i definitely want to fix that
outside of that stuff we are also contemplating our sanity and the strength of our sanity
because we really really would like to renovate our bedroom before we move in the house we would
like to replace the thin mobile home drywall in our living room before we move in the house
so if we can hold out if our perseverance can persevere we may also add in some renovation
projects before we officially move into the house and this is also a time where we're going to have
to wait for the septic to be installed we're gonna have to wait for the um not the water because
we'll do it but um wait for the electric and wait for the block foundation and stuff like that so
this is the perfect time for us to say hey let's go ahead and tear apart the bedroom or you know
that type thing to where we have something to do while we're waiting on the other things to be done
right we also are trying not to have project creep but we did have the thoughts of you
know we want to put the front porch the back porch on wow now would be the perfect time to
maybe replace some siding in those areas before we go putting a deck right up next to it
that definitely gets in a project creep and we've got to be careful about what we can
you know monetarily do and still get done but then also try to be as forward thinking as possible to
not be short-sighted to say let's just get it done move in and then regret not taking some time now
to save us a lot of headache later we don't want to take bite off more than we can chew and we
don't want to have to take apart things that we've already put together yeah yeah with as expensive
as materials and supplies are the last thing we want to do is spend the money and in three to six
months later lose that money destroy it and have to redo something right but again that's all going
to depend on how our sanitary level rises or stays the same um so don't know don't hold us to it we
may say we're sick of living in a camper forget it we're moving in who knows you guys will see but
we'll just have to see i guess from the outside looking in right now that's what our plans are
and they most likely will change a little bit oh yeah you got to be fluid and flexible if we try to
well guys thanks for coming along for our tour as we got to see our house after it was moved
