hey everybody sam here and angela and welcome back to our channel welcome back to the next part of
our mobile home renovation where we are taking our 1988 palm harbor single wide mobile home
and fixing it up sam and angela style yes so while we are in the boys bedroom we are not going to
be working in this bedroom because this place is done you guys will have already seen that if you
haven't seen it stop go back live through some pain of our life from the past and then you can
come back to this one what we're going to do today is actually pick up on something that we haven't
done in a while some people have been asking what about this i haven't seen this what's the
status of this so tell people what we're doing where we're going and everything of the sort
well while this project has been taking a while i think it's been going on for two or three months
now we decided to hone in on the boys room first so we could get them out of our bedroom yeah well
after we got through with it we were kind of tired so we took a little bit of a break we've been
working in the garden a little bit and doing some other things but we need our bathroom back now
so we are going to pick up in the bathroom with working on the drywall
all right everybody the room the drywall the bathroom is ready to be painted we are done
with the drywall work i'm done with smoothing out and everything sanding down all the joints and yay
i'm glad it's over so the next thing i want to do is take this roller it is a three-quarter inch
long nap roller so it's a little bit fuzzier than i like to use but it's the one we have
on hand and that's better than anything else we have on hand we'll go ahead and get our regular
flat white paint we have leftover from the boys room and paint the ceiling in here so let's go
just when you start to get rocking and rolling you're going to run out of paint
oh well we have found out that one gallon of paint will do our boys bedroom ceiling and all
of about three square feet of our bathroom fue so to save the roller i have it wrapped up in
some plastic wrap it's totally wrapped around this thing like six thousand times so it is good to go
it will stay nice and paint ready or whatever um until we can get some more paint probably tomorrow
and then continue working on this thing so see you guys when that happens
well i have done my part the ceiling is totally painted there's a total of at least two coats on
it and it's good enough popcorn ceilings are kind of a pain to paint because if you start
rolling too much it'll start to pull the little popcorns out and then you come up with parts where
you need to paint again but if you touch it you gotta whatever so it's done it's good enough i'm
not gonna touch it again so i'm done with my parts to turn over to me i do not do ceilings
so i will take over and do the walls and hopefully make quick work of this
so
we got the first coat up of the primer paint and it allowed us to see some of the places
that needed to be sanded again which is a good thing you couldn't really tell before if it
really needed sand it again while we will let this dry for a little bit i'm going to go take a break
and then i think i may go ahead and get out the regular paint and get this thing
painted hopefully one to two coats will be good for it and then we'll be done painting
back from break and i'm going to go ahead and start
brushing around the edges i'm going to take a paint brush with the eye yep and get ready to roll
and be done with this thing you're going to trim it i'm going to trim it awesome i'm holding a
can of paint tell them about this pancake can of paint that i'm holding panicking yep pancake we
decided to go ahead and do the same kind of beige color that the boys room has it's a nice color and
it's nice and yeah i don't really know what else to say so but it's not and then we can add colors
with the accessories in here yeah you did choose a different finish or polish to the paint we did
semi-gloss instead of satin since it is a bathroom otherwise it's still the same color satin snow
sand satin snow i sat in the snow so yep all right i'll let you do this you're better at it
geez is it fun to watch somebody paint
so i went ahead and did two coats of the trim around the whole place whole place being like this
what five by six place anyway it was easy you may not be able to tell a big difference on the camera
there is just a tad bit of difference that this is like a creamy color but you can tell it's
a lot nicer because it's real paint and not the primer that we had to put on to cover the drywall
next is rolling it should go really quick and then we should see a huge difference in this room
three two one
machine
all the painting is done so what i'm going to do next is actually install the vanity light that we
bought for here we didn't get anything too fancy we wanted something that would fit in the space
give enough light as possible and also kind of look cool
without breaking the budget what we decided to get is a little led light bar and we call this
one bubbles the light because it looks like bubbles let me show you real quick
there it is so it's a fun looking light so i'm gonna go ahead and begin to install this
we have the benefit of not having our light switch wired up which means the end of this
circuit even though the power is still on for the area is not live so i can wire up the light
put it all in place and then we'll go over wire up the switch and do all that stuff in a second
these kind of lights are really easy to install they come with their own little mounting brackets
here you'll attach this plate to the outlet box on your wall and then you attach the light with
these screws here so you got your mounting plate that comes off and then the light itself we'll
go ahead and take this bracket off of the light and then we'll put this bracket up there on the
box on the wall first the hardest part of all this is not letting this light hit the wall that's been
freshly painted otherwise it's a basic procedure attach your ground wire to your box attach your
light ground wire to the frame which connects to the metal box so it grounds out the system
and then you connect white wire with white wire and black wire with black wire
but like i said the hardest thing is keeping bubbles of light from scratching up the new wall
come on bubbles work with me now it's easy to just get the lever nut connectors flip them up
put one on the white side like that
now we just cover it up pretend like it was never here
and just like that bubbles the light it's wired up ready to rock and roll
but we gotta put the switch on the wall so we can juice up bubbles here let's do that next
for the light switch i went ahead and picked up a pretty heavy duty light switch um single pole
toggle this one is rated for 20 amps bubbles is never going to be pulling 20 amps through here
unless something's wrong and if something does go wrong
that's why it's on a 15 amp breaker i like to get the more expensive switches
because honestly these are the workhorses of your home's lights i mean obviously this is where your
grubby hands you'll be slapping it up and down up and down if you got kids or feral children
like us it's going to go through about a million duty cycles in a day
and in that case i think it's worthwhile to spend about three or four dollars a piece i mean i can
say that because we're only buying like one or two at this whole project okay three for this whole
renovation so that's an easier pillow to swallow than if i was building a new house and needed
say 50 of these guys at that point i might cheap out but we'll cross that bridge if we ever get
to it how's that we ever get to that bridge you guys remind me don't cheap out because
these guys are going to go through a million duty cycles a day because of feral children
and me of course you know new light switch
well it's dark 30 in here welcome to the bathroom with no electrical lights we're only learning off
of ambient lighting but you can still see me i can still see the work this is pretty good
thankfully the bathroom's been painted white and we have our new big window in here too
we'll move over to see the action as best you can even though it's dark
and i'm going to wire up this switch this is a switch so i'm going to wire it up
angela come meet bubbles
oh whoa that's bright bubbles is insanely bright yes it is good job bubbles good job
this looks like a different room it does it's really nice the paint job looks great you did
great with that i have to say it kind of smells a little bit it is what it is the
ammonia and the paint so that's one of the perks of having a window in your bathroom so you can
open it and get the fumes out this room better get used to some fumes i'll tell you that much
so that is a great accomplishment for today it makes it feel like a new room already and we
have lighting that was one of the kind of bummer things about working in here is we didn't have the
lighting hooked up yet and so you would come in here and have to find where the light was
plugged in and turn it on and so now you can use it like a normal room and just come in and hit
the light switch and you're good to go this room is legit you can get lit legit lit legitly lit
whether by fumes or but maybe that's why i'm just like yep let's go so
i'm excited to see how this is progressing and can't wait for another day to keep going yeah
this room is definitely a snowball that is well on its way down the hill we probably really only have
a couple more working days and we're done like the next things we're going to be doing
is all about the floor and then the stuff that sits on top of the floor
and probably we'll cover that in one video yeah because it'll go quick so we'll just show you
guys everything all at once yeah and the flooring will be kind of a blast from the past so if we
want to get technical or give directions on that we just point people to that old video so that's
cool saves us time on the video world side yep so you guys will get to see what flooring we picked
out for the bathroom and hallway on the next video so that's something to look forward to and it is
not what we did in the boys room it's different right because we had thought about doing that
but i don't know i think wood in a bathroom can be kind of weird i've had i've seen and seen it but
i think i've played the card of i want to decide this one i didn't want wood in here i didn't like
how it looks so so hopefully it looks good because if it doesn't then it's my fault
well guys thanks for watching um if you have any comments leave them below
and otherwise we'll see you guys next time on the homestead see you guys bye
