The Nicest Double Wide Mobile Home We've Ever Found? ... A 1996 PALM HARBOR

Donnie. >> Yeah. >> What are you doing, >> man? I'm down there. You know, we're working on this this project right now. We need a damn house. So, we're looking we're looking hard. >> What? Now, what do you mean by that? We're working on this project. What if what if it's somebody who hasn't seen our channel? >> Y'all y'all need to get back on. >> This may be their first video. >> Y'all need to watch the channel now. We got a new spot that we're cleaning out. >> With new spot? What do you mean? >> We bought a new piece of They're They're interrupting our Look at all these people. It's like they're coming from the racetrack over there or something. >> We got a new piece of land that we have purchased. >> Yes. >> In a community and we need a house for it. >> Yes. >> And we're considering putting a house on. >> Look at this. Look at this. We have came to P to uh I want to say pinball. We have came to mobile home heaven. So, we are looking for a house to put on this piece of land. This might be it. >> Yeah. So, this place down here, they've got all these old mobile homes, and it's kind of fun to come down here and look at the the way they used to be laid out. They sell all of these things, and a lot of them are trashed and just in really bad shape. Um, >> all of them can be fixed. >> Yeah, but they can all be fixed. And, you know, we're looking for a used mobile home to put on that lot to fix up, and then we're going to rent it. And by lot, if you haven't watched it, our videos on Friday right now are of that mobile home lot that we're working on. So, we'll uh >> ain't necessarily a mobile home. >> Yeah, it could be a house. >> We could put a house on. We're considering building a house also, but >> some people have said they want you to put a tiny home on it. Probably not going to put a tiny home on it because I don't believe the return on investment will be as good as others. Okay. All right. So, we're down here. It's very windy today if you can't tell. I'm sure the audio is crap, but uh this mobile home we haven't been in yet. It's an interesting one. It looks like it's a little newer than some of their other ones. This place, it seems like they want a lot of money for some of these. So, this thing they might want like $60,000 for so we're going to go in here and check it out and just maybe more. >> Yeah, it's kind of fun to look at these older ones cuz you get to see kind of what the layout's like and you get a different look. They've made a freaking thousand different layouts over the years. So, we've on our channel here, we've done a whole bunch of those. All right. Well, all that to say, we're going to do this one today. So, uh, >> it's a three-tone. You don't see that too often on the older ones. This must be newer. >> See them piece of siding missing. >> Yeah, >> I'm pretty sure that's them right there. >> Yeah, the wind is nuts, folks. The wind is just crazy today. Um, which you can tell. You can see it around. >> Yeah, you do not see three tones. >> Yeah. So, it's gray, green, and white. Um, which probably means it's a little newer. So, I'm going to go ahead and say this is going to be like 2006 or newer. >> Damn. >> Yep. 2006 or newer. That's That's what I'm That's what I'm going with. It does have the old school windows though. >> House here. >> We'll go around. >> Yeah, we'll go around backwards. Less windy. >> The wind will probably settle down a little bit. I'm going to say it's going to be older than 2006. I'm going to say it's going to be something like a uh >> Check out the texture on the >> I don't know that. >> Have you ever seen textured vinyl siding? >> Not that textured. That looks like alligator type. >> Yeah, that's kind of interesting. Usually it's smooth or it's got that oak looking thing. >> I was going to say it's older, but look at that window. I don't know how long they made that frosted window like that. >> It's It's the old school windows with the If you don't know on these older ones, they have two sets of windows. a real thin window for the outside and a real thin window for the inside. Um, >> it's about like the old storm windows. >> Yeah, >> I'm going to guess it's going to be a uh 2000 even. >> 2000. All right. You can see up there it's got the skylight windows, too. That's kind of cool. And this is the back. You know, the front look different. So, someone spent they they got the Mac Daddy. Donnie, >> maybe >> they said, "Let me get the big papa." What happens if you bought the front one, I bought the back one? Okay. >> It It don't work on me. >> And then both of us had a disaster where we tore up half of our house and we just put the other halves together. >> I don't think that's what happened here. So Donny's trying to say this is the front of the house. This is not the front. You just saw the front. This is the back. But the back looks nice. >> This could be the front. >> The back looks as nice as the front. Yeah. So I think they spent extra money. >> They could have put two fronts on it. >> Maybe. I don't know >> by accident. >> I don't think that this has always been like this. Anyway, we'll see whenever we get inside cuz it'll be really hacked up if they did any crazy stuff. >> We was in one. I still think they expanded that thing. >> Yeah. And we if we get that one that we're looking that we bid on that lot with that crazy one. Cra. We We have a I can't say too much. We have an offer in long-term offer on a on a property that's got a old dilapidated mobile home on it and they used two halves from two different mobile homes and they don't even line up. Uh it's emergency stuff. Okay. >> I was trying to cheat and get a window number. >> All right. We got to get in here. They're they're probably getting tired of our shenanigans. >> Okay. >> We got to get inside this thing. So that's just kind of standard outside other than the front and the back both look like fronts. The number right there will tell them everything. They're both 8014s according to the spray paint. This is obviously a match set. >> Yeah, absolutely. >> The spray paint never lies, folks. It's not like you could just use um your own spray paint. >> I think this thing's been moved before. >> Why would they have those there like that? going down the road. It the wind >> so the wind won't rip that off. >> Trying to pull this out when they it hold it. >> So if it's sitting somewhere, you don't really need to mess with it. But they must have had a thing. Okay. So look at look at the entrance. I've never seen one like that. >> This thing says welcome in cast iron. So they're welcome. >> Wow. This is like the Taj Mahal of mobile homes. We might be have the inside might be amazing on this thing. It has three dormers. Is would you call it a dormer if there's no window up there? This one, that one, and there's one in the back that don't line up. Or maybe it does line up with that. >> Hey, maybe there's an upstairs. >> Yeah, maybe there's an upstairs. Maybe there's a downstairs. Okay, that's pretty cool. >> Welcome, but be careful. >> Have you ever been in a mobile home that's got a foyer? >> What in the world? This is a foyer. >> Holy moly. >> My foyer. Donny's got a foyer. >> Uhhuh. Yep. Got a foyer. >> You got a Ferrari. >> Which way are we going? You on the way? >> I don't know. It's like I'm at the museum or something. >> Mhm. >> They're going to want $100,000 for this damn house. >> It's very fun. >> This place goes crazy. Look, they've they've taken up the u old carpet, most of it, and then spray painted the floor for you. I want everybody in the comments to tell me why they painted this full. There's only one reason. >> Yeah, right there it is. >> And it don't smell at all in here. >> Yeah, it does not smell. So, they have fixed it. Um, and obviously folks that the floor would be level whenever whoever sets it up. Uh, at least somewhat level. >> I don't think it will be. >> It's supposed to be. >> The roof is level. How's the floor going to get level with the roof? >> I don't know, man. it. Look, we're not trying to sell you this house. We ain't got nothing to do with these people. We're just looking at it. >> Well, maybe. I mean, you might have that much gear, but that damn wall don't look like it's got that much gear in it. >> We're going to do this one backwards than we usually do it. Usually, we go to the master bedroom first, but that's probably going to be the greatest thing we've ever seen, so we'll save it for last. >> Hey, green shag carpet. You going to change your year yet? >> It didn't have green shag carpet. There's no way that it had you. That's not shag carpet, Donnie. Oh, I'm sticking with it. 2006. >> 2006. >> Um, >> it does have a fancy door handle. >> Yeah. I mean, this thing is highend, man. This is like top of the line. Okay. So, this is one of the bedrooms. It's kind of the a little bit bigger than most of the kids mo uh bedroom mobile home bedrooms, but um and you know with the ceiling just running along the roof line, it makes the rooms look a lot bigger. They should probably just do that on every house. You'd think it would be cheaper. >> It's about 10 by >> Explain to me, Donnie. So, this is a peaked roof. >> Yep. >> But if they drop the roof down flat, wouldn't that be harder to build? Wouldn't it cost more money to make it flat? >> No, because you got a little more material doing that. So, you would save that little bit of money >> and it would be easier to insulate if it was down. >> Okay. >> Be cheaper to insulate. >> Well, I think the peaked roof is the way to go. >> It's probably worth the extra money. >> I'm 6'1 and I just like that. That roof is, you know, >> I can touch 8. >> Yeah. 96 ft. >> I can touch 8t easy. That's about a >> That's That's 10 foot. >> They might get to 10. Yeah, it's not quite 10 ft if I'm thinking about a basketball goal, but it's close. >> I can touch I can touch eight. And there's two foot above my hand. >> Mhm. Okay. So, that's the first bedroom. Go in this one here. >> Second bedroom. Pretty much a mirror. >> You can smell ever so slightly something in here, but I can't tell what it is. I can't tell what it is either. It doesn't smell like an animal. It >> smells like some kind of bleach. >> But that's why they paint the floors usually, folks. They're getting rid of some kind of uh smell. Okay. So, old school lenolum with carpet on top of it. >> Yeah, I'm going to stick with my 2006. That's what I think we're looking at here. Okay, so we got the uh the just the typical normal bathtub. Ooh. Ooh. Daddy, come look. Come look quick. I'm coming. I'm coming. Come quick. >> Is that factory the tile around the >> I don't know. Probably. Yeah, cuz it's super thin. >> See how it's weird on the edges though? >> Okay. Hey, this is what everybody wants us to do. >> Oh lord. >> It don't tell you. >> Okay. >> There's some numbers in it, but it don't tell you. >> I got to be careful showing people toilets. I follow the Alfred Hitchcock school on that. >> Did you know about that, Donnie? >> No. >> In the movie Psycho. >> Oh, man. Don't tell me about that. In psycho the damn >> in psycho he showed an open toilet and that was considered like >> the craziest thing that had ever happened in cinema. You could a big no no. You can't do that. >> There's a closet. >> No, it's like the fireplace. That's pretty man. That's just a nice design. So, they bumped in the fireplace, but then it also bumped it in in the room, which kind of gave you another element in the room where you, you know. It's interesting. Just a regular closet. All right, so that's room three. Room number three and bathroom number one. All right, so now we can go back out here and talk about this huge living room. You know this again I like this kind of stuff too. They have made this hallway part of the living room kind of because it's just space you know like whenever you're that room is so huge and then this connects to it. It just it's just more space. Makes everything feel more open. >> I think this is 32. You think that piece of plywood there is 16t long? >> What in the world? from there to there. >> No, maybe 14. Um, he has a good Look, look at the width. It's wider. >> They're 5T. >> They're 5 ft wide. >> I think they're 16t long. >> What in the world? >> I think they're 16. >> That's about eight. I don't think they're eight. I don't think they're 16. I think they're 14. I think they're 5 foot by 14. He's going to guess with his shoe. All right. Oifer 15 steps. >> I think your your shoe's a little short. >> My foot. >> All right. >> So, anyway, it's close to 32T. I like how they did this. I ain't never seen this before. >> What? It's cut off half a wall. Cut out 2x4 with >> Well, yeah. I like that. I think >> that fireplace obviously makes it very nice. Check this out, Donnie. >> I've seen that before. >> I haven't seen a furnace great before in a m long. Have you? >> Yeah. >> Oh, okay. Another built in there. >> That's a little weird. >> And with that with that, I suppose that's where the dining room is supposed to be. So, it's kind of dining room, formal living room. Um, and they've got accent lights up there to shine on the painting or whatever that they had above the the uh fireplace. >> Think so. >> All right. I did that crooked, I guess, cuz the walls are slightly crooked. >> Lots of tile. So, if you don't know folks, tile in a mobile home don't always work that great cuz the floors are so kind of weak that what happens is the stuff starts breaking, especially whenever you move it. So, they had to move this one obviously and it smashed up a bunch of the tile. I guess they removed all of it in the middle there. They had a time moving this one, I think. Um, >> yeah, this was over. >> So, here is a hall bathroom. It's a half bath. There's a toilet there. And then there's a counter with the same tile. They may have just added that to the stuff that was already there, but it looks pretty good. Um. >> Mhm. >> So, there's a little hall bath. >> I'm going to go over here. >> This is the back, daddy. >> This is the back door. They've got a refrigerator back there and the furnace. And then they have uh washer and dryer space with the uh cabinets above and a door to block it off. >> We're way off. >> Well, we'll get there. >> Way off. >> All right. So, here is the family room, living room, whatever you want to call it. >> And it has the the um those aren't really skylights. They're just >> lights. >> Lights. >> Elevated lights. But they are double pane. Believe that. >> Yeah. Um, pretty wild. It's just an interesting feature. Looks cool. This is a cool house at its time. In its time. All right. So, there's the the light in the kitchen. Yeah. I would say this is a little older than I thought. Is this a It's a little dated, but >> this room that moves. I wonder where that went. [Applause] Uhhm. >> Oak cabinets. >> I've seen those before. I bet it went right there. >> It might have went out there. >> I I bet it went right Well, look. That back's not finished. I don't know what that would have went to. Was there room for it in the locker room? >> No, >> you could you could put it there maybe. Um, but the back's not finished. So, I don't think that would have been exposed. That would have been somewhere where that back >> Yeah, but they wouldn't they would have pushed it all the way this way to give you more foot room over there if they want to do that. >> Yeah. I don't know. >> It might spin around and go right to where it's at. >> I don't know. Uh maybe. Well, it's such a weird shape. Uh I don't know. Somebody could probably tell us. All right. So, oh, they got the Pepsi Cola uh uh thing on the wall. Kind of small pantry, frigid air refrigerator. Tons of cabinets. Really? Well, I don't know. I don't know about tons, but there's a lot of cabinets. Yeah. Oak. And it looks like they may actually be >> real wood. >> Real wood. Yeah. Um, open that back up. Let's see. Is the whole thing real wood? >> That's just paneling there. All right. So, the the the fronts of them are real wood, which is a big step up for most mobile homes. Uh, I don't I don't know that that tile is professionally done. I think somebody's done it because like this finish here, but it is a mobile home, so they may have done it like at a factory, but I think it's probably something that the owner added. Looks pretty good, though. All right, so let's see what we've got here. >> The Mac Daddy. >> It's a Palm Harbor home out of Alabama. Um, it's the Timberland model. Was made for here in Florence. We're near Florence. Uh, and it was made in May of 1996. So, yeah, this is kind of the top end. This was probably a very expensive home in its day. >> That if remember the one that we did, it was totally destroyed. That was the same thing. >> Yeah. So, May of 96. Okay. You can kind of tell by the the skylight thing there. That's kind of dated. >> That's old, too. >> But on a lot of these, I've found that, you know, if it's if it's like if they were doing this in a home in '92, it would be in a mobile home in '96. Like the mobile homes are a little behind usually on the design choices. Okay. So, here we are walking into the master suite. So, we have chair rail. You will notice, look at the amenities. There is a chair rail all the way around. Now, that's factory. Donnie, >> think so? >> I think so. What about in there? >> Look at the door. Oh, that all the doors are all upgraded, too. I didn't think about that. None of those cheap little cheap little uh smooth doors. These are the cheap little six panel doors. So, here we are in the master bedroom that has an entire extra room. Wow. It's got a office or a study. Built-in little shelf over there. Built in there. Yeah, that piece out there may go in here to make it um it's like a desk or something maybe. Interesting. I don't know. It's pretty big, though. Whatever. Master bedroom, vated ceiling. Let's see what the closet's like. It's a walk-in, but you know, not huge. I guess for maybe in 96, this may have been really big for a closet. So, it's about 3 and 1/2 ft wide and maybe 10 ft long. And they put shelves at either end. Opened ceiling. I'm going to say it's 5 by 12. 5 by 12. Don't even say. Here we are. We've made it to the master bath. Oh, Donnie. It has a built-in above the garden tub. >> Yep. >> Never seen that before. This is all new to me. Okay, so walk-in shower. They do hide it right there on a lot of the newer ones. When you go in, just to the left, there's a walk-in and just to the right there's a vanity. This is actually a triple mirror vanity. Oh, don't see them often either. That's kind of weird. Two sinks and a makeup station. This is if if you're a throppple. >> Throppple. >> Yeah. You know about the throppples? >> No. >> It was a fad. It was all the thing about 4 years ago. >> Well, hell, that was before their time. >> Um, toilet right there. Cabinet above the toilet. Linen closet there. And drawers. You never see drawers. Uh, and then there is a there is a little built in there, I guess, for uh towels and things. >> They do have an exhaust fan. >> And a big pink jacuzzi tub. Did you see it was a Jacuzzi? >> Yeah, I seen it was Jacuzzi. >> What? >> I seen it was a jacuzzi. Oh, >> I thought you said a koozie. >> I would say it's peach. >> It's peach. Yeah. All right, N. Tell them what to do. >> Y'all, if you like what you see, give us a thumbs up, film it, subscribe to the channel if you hadn't already, and we'll catch you on the next one. >> Now, we did another one that was a big old big papa with a fireplace and everything in it like this one has. Uh, that was very, uh, kind of, uh, complex, had a lot of stuff going on. And we had previously thought this that that was the best one we had seen. Donnie, you think this one's better? Uh, end result. Yes. >> Look at the floor. Uh, so let's show you that other one and then you can decide. You think this is the best, you know, for a mobile home. Is this the highest end one you've seen or do you think this one was a little bit nicer in its day? So, uh, check it out and we'll see you on the next video. Hope you enjoyed it.
