Some of these folks have to work multiple jobs; with commute times, they may be working 14-18 hours a day seven days a week, just to keep the lights on and food on the table and pay for daycare. Exhaustion sets in, the cleaning gets left undone, pretty soon it's such a mess they're overwhelmed. It's sad.

Theory is good but sometimes people are working two jobs, taking care of elderly parents and facing illness and or depression. A person tries to live cleanly but is just hanging on by a thread.

When I got divorced in 1992, I had to buy something. I ended up buying a mobile home built in 1960. The layout was identical to that one. It was tiny, 9 feet wide and 50 feet long. An older lady owned it since new, and it was clean and in good condition. I changed the furnace from oil to propane. Thanks for the video. Brings back memories...

More likely alcohol and/or drug addiction is responsible, not laziness. Addicts go broke trying to support their habits, turning to prostitution and other illicit ways to get their fixes. When high, which is pretty much all of the time, they could care less about the physical space around them. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the home of a single mom hooked on hard drugs and her young baby. The woman may have died of an overdose or was arrested and taken to jail, and perhaps a relative took custody of the child or the child became a ward of the court. Without intervention and a return to sobriety, addicts end up dead or insane. It is an ugly, ugly disease.

Can't wait to see the finished project. My first thought was to demolish it.

I would go with a one bedroom one bath. I have lived in a couple of these older ones and the added space makes the bath and the bedroom much more comfortable, along with more closet space. A walk in shower with out tub if you are going to target senior renters..I live in Fl.so I always think of what tends to rent to seniors..

Someone needs to tell Nate Oprah's decorator of this man's need for a trailer remodel on it on his fixed income

At age 26 I started attending college full time and working part-time. Sold my new truck and bought a $3K mobile home and paid $75/month rent. Made some improvements and heated with a woodstove (Vermont). Four years later received a degree and sold the home for $5k. I'm just an average guy that isn't afraid to work. Now retired at 66 and own 2 cars and 2 houses outright, not rich just comfortable. Other than being physically or mentally disabled why are so many unemployed and homeless? If the jobs don't pay a livable wage then take another one or two. Fouling your own nest is inexcusable. My hats off to you for taking on this kind of work.

What you talking about This is a palace compared to what's left of my 73 singlewide. It sat on a semi wooded lot for 4 years and when I opened some water damage early in the morning, rats stampeded out of the a/c vents by the hundreds. Every bit of furniture was busting with nests and every hollow place was to capacity with droppings.I lived in a tent inside the trailer to keep from breathing the stench. It is amazing what a human can learn to tolerate when there is. No place else to go. Working on a trailer isnt horribly difficult.And I'm making progress in a lot of ways. I keep praying that I find a newer one that doesent need everything gutted top to bottom and doesnt smell like ten years of puking screwing birthing dying rodents.

Oh boy ! It's a total gut job, ceiling,floors, siding, paneling,plumbing, electrical, everything! Have fun! When you're done, it will be very nice 👌

There’s possibilities but keep it simple and uncluttered!

That place is disgusting! You were brave to take that project on. When I worked in a home health job as a nurse in years past I had to go into places about that bad. Was awful! Would sheet rock walls increase the load on the structure? Does a mobile that old have a strong enough floor joist, etc to be able to add more weight inside when remodeling? Good luck. I will watch to see what miracle you do with that place!

SPEACHLESS!!! FOR ONE I COULD NEVER LIVE LIKE THAT & IN MY MOBILE HOME AN AUNT WOULD STARVE. TO EVEN THINK OF CLEANING THAT UP I'D HAVE A GOOD CRY FIRST & ALSO WONDER WHAT I GOT MYSELF INTO, INSTEAD OF JUST LIGHTING A MATCH. I GOT MINE OUT OF A TIME WARP BUT IT WASN'T DIRTY IN ANY RESPECT. I GIVE YOU A LOT OF CREDIT FOR TAKING THAT MESS ON & CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU DO WITH IT!!

@@dianesamp9102 aw, sorry you lost her. I love my nieces and nephews so very much.

Hit that like button for you for having to go through that home. I can't even imagine the smell you had to endure. I would have worn a gas mask. Good luck with the home.

I loved that show that remodeled trailers for families!

The host disappeared,

The saddest parts; the baby bouncer seat and the pet crate. Oh my God. Really. I just cried

I subbed because I found this so intriguing! Can’t wait to see what you do with this!!! Wow!!! I couldn’t get past the outside honestly.

Thank you for the sub! I’m definitely ready to get underway.

I can relate to this one. The first time I was able to walk in mine after I bought it, all i could think was, 3 people actually lived in this? I don't know how some folks can do it like that.

just saw the video i am currently living in a nightmare 1975 mobile home. I am hoping to begin remodeling this summer planning doing utube as well. i'm doing mine on a low money budget. it helps also living in the place and now knowing how to really make a small size blueprint work better.

That’s not worth the salvage...I recommend matches🤣😂

I agree with others - even if you live in a mobile home, it is no reason to turn it into a pigsty. Keeping things clean and fairly tidy, will greatly affect how easy (or difficult) it is to maintain and keep clean. Can’t wait to see what you can do with it (since you are not opting for the matchstick solution). 😊

Brings back memories and not good ones. I used to clean out those kind of homes. Didn’t do it for very a very long time. Felt like heaving on the way home and jumping into a pot of boiling water to get clean. Most of the work i did were repos and the ones with pets were the worst. Ugh!!

Looks like they left in a hurry, they left lot's of food behind!

That way I don't like to rent my house out

Take out the little pantry, and front bedroom. Add lots of cabinets in the kitchen. Make the front room larger and the bathroom. Making it a one bedroom and splitting off the kitchen with a nice island.

You have a huge cleaning before the renovation! Good luck!

First time watching your channel your channel. This breaks my heart. People needs to realize we still have people living in these conditions. BUT. BUT. But you can live in bad conditions and still be clean. God bless you for wanting to take over this place. I see so much value. It really could be a happy home again. # Betty 11

And a mask!

I had a 65 Fleetwood just like it. Bought for $1500.00 put $3800 into the redo, and resold it for $9500.00

First time visiting your website. Can't wait to see the finished product. 😊

Call this 'trailer,' "Tick." Easily remedied.

Thats nothing' my house is dirtier than that after i clean up.

Looking forward to viewing the renovations. Thank you for sharing your videos. ☺

I love the design of that trailer. I had one in the 80s, if I had to go back and remodel one I would. It's called cheap rent and stealing money.

Guess they thought they were classy having a picture of Mona Lisa!
