You are doing amazing work to renovate this home!!! 🥰🏡❤️ Carpets frequently are the odor eaters and once gone everything improves!!! 👍 Well done, Doug!!! 👏 👏👏

Doug and Ashley, you both amaze me! You take something so many wouldn't tackle and make it beautiful!❤

That respirator is probably one of the best investments you have ever made!

No one can ever tell Doug he doesn't have an excellent work ethic ....you are probable one of the hardest working man I have seen on YT !!!!

JUST ONE WORD AS ALWAYS " AMAZING ".

A huge amount of physical work was completed in this tear-out. WOW !! Doug is one very strong guy!! Ashley outside putting the rubble in the dumpster. Team work at its best!!!

Loving all these videos!!! Doesn't matter what you're working on, I'm watching💛

Plywood floors! You’re lucky. I have repaired a few mobiles myself and I have learned that plywood floors is a plus. Y’all are doing a great job. We enjoy watching your channel. I’ve even learned a few things from watching your show.

I remember the mobile home renovation y'all did in Indiana. If viewers weren't aware of those videos, they are amazing to see. I can't wait to see all the positive changes you do to this mobile home. I know it is going to be rock solid to live in when you are finished. Palmetta bugs are just a prevalent insect in the South. Rain runs them out of the bark of trees and they come, unfortunately, into homes and other structures sometimes.

It's funny because when we aren't working here, we are watching others work...something relaxing about it 😂. Looks like you guys got a lot done, good work! ❤ - Myers Homestead

Good morning WOW looking so much better and I bet that rug stunk to high heaven . Doug your a beast when it comes to demo. I just can wait to see what you come up with in design there and your main home. It's exciting to see two home makeovers . Later and God bless .

Nothing scares this couple- not even a stinky bug infested mobile home! Its a big project and I can't wait to see the finished job.

It would be tempting to dig out that rose and take it home. But curb appeal will be important when you go to sell or rent . I see quality control is still there keeping an eye on you. Great demo Doug and Ashley .the scaffolding was the trick for sure. I love a great rain storm ,thanks for sharing that too. 👋 Hi Belle and Maverick.

Once the kitchen is out you will have a really clean work area. Now is the time to re level the home using a laser level to check for low points in the floor. Consider a bedroom at each end of the mobile because when both bedrooms are next to each other the hall cuts down the size of the bedroom. Plus a hall is wasted space. Then the kitchen and living room can be all open. The island in the kitchen can be space to eat at as well. Then no dining room table is needed. Plus the bathroom and kitchen can be next to each other less costs to run plumbing. The run for hot water is shorter too. If possible 6” of rock wool wall insulation and 8” of roof/ ceiling insulation rock wool plus double pane windows will really help will cooling costs. The problem with fiberglass it breaks down overtime with moisture in it and rock wool is much better.

Good Morning Doug Ashley Belle & Maverick,WOW YOU GUYS GOT IT DONE!Have a wonderful week end!🌷💕🌷

It was so good to see you all this morning. Loved the update on the mobile home.🌻🌴

Doug, you and Ashley deserve every penny of rent or sale of this property. You two work so hard on every project and the end result always looks better than I could ever imagine. However, I do worry about you when you have to deal with such toxic filth. Continue to stay safe. Sending you big hugs from Tennessee. ❤

That looks like a climbing rose bush it needs a trellis behind it 👍😉

Doug and Ashley can turn an ugly old trailer into a beautiful new place for someone to live. They have done it before and they can do it with this one.

You guys work so hard. That mobile home is going to look great when your done, no doubt about it, lol.

Bet this mobile home renovation will be much easier cause your not living in it this time. Can't wait to see what you do.

Love seeing bare bones to get ready for remodeling.

How do you tell someone you are NOT superstitious without saying anything at all? Sledgehammer a wall full of weak mirrors to the floor! Loved it. Take care and have a great weekend.

Just sold my 1986 to someone who will do an inside renovation too. Outside is done already. It's satisfying knowing homes like this can be saved. Thank you for doing this!

That was an amazing day. So much accomplished! It was so satisfying to observe Doug powering through the filth. Of course Ashley was powering through dragging the mess to the dumpster. Great teamwork, as always. Having so many different projects to tackle certainly helps avoid boredom. I admit I enjoy watching every challenge. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

Thank goodness for your respirator!

That was a tough job Doug! You guys are knocking it out. Don’t overdo yourself between the house and the Mobil home!

Thank You for the Video! You are just the BEST Family! I hope the remodel will go well for you!

I just enjoy watching you rebuild. You do it right! Brings back memories of days gone by! Thanks for bringing all of us along on your adventures! Great work as always!

I was thankful for your breathing protection during this phase, Doug, and the wisdom of the rest of the family remaining outside. And wow-looking thru’ the place suggests all sorts of exciting upgrades. What a great idea-showing viewers how salvage and upgrade a mobile home.

Thank God! I love the mobile home videos!

Hi family, Wow it’s looking good!! Y’all have lots on your plate but I never doubt you at all! You get her done regardless how tough it is. 🙂 Good work day, I always enjoy watching, yep you guys are definitely my favorite KZreadrs on fixer uppers!! Until next,,,,time,,,, Stay safe, be happy and God Bless ❤

I can't wait to see what you guys do with the mobile!

If you are not replacing the subfloor, you might want to consider buying a spray bottle of enzymic pet urine neutralizer to help "kill" any urine odor in the wood. You guys are beasts when it comes to demo and cleaning up!

Good morning Doug and Ashley, looking at you do so much work made me exhausted. Lol. Thank God the worse is done. I forgot the kitchen. But really I think and hope the worst is done. I hope you do not encounter hidden damage under the plywood. I know once it's done, the less exhausting job will fall into place and fun part will begin. Painting, trimmings and decorating. Can't wait to see that.

I love the sound of the rain hitting the metal roof.

Our rainy season ❤

I really admire you and Ashley. It must feel like a daunting task working on two properties at one time, but I believe all your hard work will pay iff in the end. The investment property is a great idea, and seeing your quality if work and doing things right, whoever you rent/sell too will be getting an outstanding property. I'll hazard a guess you couldn't wait to get home and get a shower! Were those palmetto bugs?

I think Doug gets bored. He got this property & Ashley's car so he can "round robin" depending on what mood he's in, what supplies he has on hand, and how ambitious he feels that day. LOL I know that they bought this property bcuz it was a really good deal and will make them some quick income for their other projects. And maybe even as a tax deduction that is needed so you can reduce what Uncle Sam takes from you.

I cant wait to see you two put this back together.

So admire your determination and work ethic. Truly enjoy watching all your projects and your family grow. 😊 My husband would like to know where you bought the respirator you are using, if you don't mind sharing. Thank you.

Love you guys Doug and Ashley Bell and Maverick you are all amazing. Can’t wait to see what you do in this space.

That was a messy clean out. God love ya. I would have my nose curled the whole time. Glad you showed the kids. Belle has been awfully quiet here lately. She is growing up. Maverick is a little champ.

I know how bad such places can be. The wife and I just finished rebuilding a renter's house with everything busted up. We had carpet (what was left of it) walls, ceilings, doors, pluming, electrical, you name it, we had to refurbish everything and scrape the popcorn ceilings off and repaint the entire house from top to bottom including all doors, dry wall and trim. Even the siding and garage door opening was rotted needing to be totally rebuilt with another garage door install. The smell when you walked in near about knocked you out as well. Why people do such things is beyond me... Welcome to the sad real world of how some people live.

Wow...that is quite a storm! That was a NASTY carpet...but it's gone now. Great job!

I am confident you can tackle anything and what you do, you do with excellence.

There are some varieties of roses that have "gone native" in the south and absolutely love the heat and humidity. They tend to be a bit more bushy and have somewhat smaller blooms.

We have wild roses that grow like that tough as nails. I was just thinking I need a Doug and Ashley fix and here you are. Demo is fun but I can’t air to see the repair and the completed work. Who’s excited not me lol

Your determination amazes me, I totally do not blame you for gutting everything out, the big black bugs were disgusting 🤮 I would probably bomb that mobile home before the remodel to make sure bugs are gone….great progress! ❤

Mobile homes are simple structures, and definitely under appreciated. Easy to redesign and rebuild, and cost effective. I’m enjoying the progress!

WOW you have a plumeria ❤ next to you roses I have 10 and going to cut back and make more for next year but I'm waiting to see the colors that they bloom so far I have yellow white & reddish / orange. Their expensive & very beautiful my neighbor started his from cuttings he's got so many beautiful colors & he's got them along our fence line 😍.

You have the wild rose bush that came back. Domestic rose bushes are grafted to wild rose bushes because the domestic buses have more blooms as well as a bushier plant. Because it's now the wild bush, it will always be scrawny with small flowers. The flowers are there only to produce seeds to propagate more wild rose bushes.

Oh gosh more and more work in that old mobile home.Glad that this is the last room. I am so excited to see this finally starting when you design this mobile home. I am wishing you a lovely weekend, sending love and hugs, bye! 🤗👍🙏👏💜💜💜

Those roaches probably thought they’d never be disturbed. Glad you could continue once seen, because I would’ve dropped dead!😵

This is not going to be a mobile home from the 80's. You are redoing it, that's more than a remodel. I like it

I can't wait. Keep the video's coming

Job well done, Doug & Ashley 😊 . Just the kitchen left can't wait❤️🇨🇦

You two are amazing workers

You to are doing great on the mobile home and your new house is looking great 😊❤

I am really enjoying watching your renovations as always. You are amazing. I once had so much energy but at 73 the years have taken their toll but I get spirts of energy and am grateful for that. Really, really enjoy following what you are doing at both places. Hugs and love from NE Pennsylvania💕

Another great video to watch during dinner.... I was slightly alarmed at the over-sized examples of Periplaneta Americana.....I would be hesitant to leave valuable tools such as scaffolding in an unregulated space, so many less than honest people who like to help themselves to other peoples things........

I’ll say it again you are a good worker. Bless 👍🙏🏻

Todays video can be summed up like this : Ewww-Yuk 😮 And Way to go, Doug !!! 👍👍👍❤️

Those were some big nasty bugs! 🤮 I applaud you for your hard work and ability to deal with the nasty things and creepy crawlies!👏🏻 my mom and I are ready looking forward to seeing the transformation of the investment property. Just take your time and you’ll make it work. I’m surprised there wasn’t lots of water damage from the hole that were drilled into the siding😃

Another demo day yay👏🏻,, great progress made can’t wait to see what you do with this project I know it’s gonna be gorgeous , ❤️😊

I can’t wait till I renovate my first mobile home!

Dude above and beyond to start a project and then stop to reposition the camera. Kudos 👍

Well done Doug, that was horrible! 😅

I am amazed at how you are all able to work without the benefit of AC in this Florida climate. I just walk my dog down to the end of the block and back and am roasting ... and yet you are able to put in a full day of hard work. Those ceiling pull down shots are so much fun! Glad that this new dumpster has lower sides so Ashley will be able to be strategic with her loading technique.

Your thunder storm brought a memory back to me. When I was a child, and the thunder scared me, my Granny said it was just God moving the furniture. 😆

I'm so happy that you have a good respirator, I cannot imagine the nastiness, in the air, in that house as you demo. Great job!

Glad that carpet removal is behind you. Love the rain shot!

Did Ms. A. make you walk home behind the truck? 😉 What a job! The bugs made me squeal like a girl...which of course I am but dang those things are creepy. ha. Thank goodness the tearing out part is almost over and then we get to watch you guys put it back together. Thumbs UP!

I have nevr seen a carpet so saturated with dog pee that there was large areas that were black with yellow border. That had to really smell nasty. Good work Doug.

To help with the smell put bicarbonate of soda in containers around the room and it will absorb the smell...even sprinkle on that carpet thing...blessings and love keep ❤ 👍

Lookin good y’all! Stan on the scene!! 😅 Finally! An Ashley-height-friendly-dumpster! 🙌🏼 Love y’all!
