Did We Finally Find The Trailer We're Going To Buy??? What Do You Think, Can We Fix It???
Well,
>> what do you think, Donnie?
>> I don't know. This is a one to consider.
Anyway,
>> it's a little junky. Somebody just moved
out.
So, there's like a builtin thing here.
I think everybody's TVs got bigger than
this, though.
>> Oh, yeah. That's probably where a little
tube TV was. That's cool. Put a Oh,
look. They put electrical outlets in it,
too. Little VCR here. Maybe put your
little stereo up there. Put you some
speakers on the top. You can be rocking
and rolling.
>> A little bad spot in the floor there,
right?
>> So, obviously, this is the living room.
Now, why would there be a bad spot right
there?
>> I don't know. Uh, this
literally a hole in the floor. This guy
had a roll around u roll around air
conditioning and he had it stuck out
this window. You can tell there where
the window was up at high stuck out
there and that thing was sitting right
there in front of the couch keeping you
cool.
>> I think condensation did that going
through the floor.
>> So here's the living room.
It's in pretty good shape. The the
drywall is cracked and stuff needs
finished and painted.
Donnie is six feet tall. So those are
actually fairly tall ceilings even over
there on the on the edge.
>> Yeah, it's not bad. And I'll tell you
the main thing doesn't smell bad at all.
It actually kind of smells like cleaning
product.
>> Like somebody's been in here uh
cleaning. Um that doesn't I don't smell
a pet at all. Now it's got some stuff
going on in here. Let's Should we show
them the kitchen next? Yeah.
>> Like what is that?
That is a uh
>> some kind of dresser or something.
>> No, that is a top to a kitchen utensil
that was in the kitchen.
>> Here's the kitchen. It's got laminate
flooring that actually is in pretty
good. It's in pretty good shape.
Mhm.
Uh I guess the refrigerator went over
there. So, here's the area you got to
worry about.
I don't see any leaks, though. So, it's
got a bay window.
old school stuff. So, I guess you would
put like a kitchen table there. It's
kind of a mess.
I'll tell you one thing I don't see,
though. I don't see uh any kind of
infestation.
Don't see anything that indicates
infestation.
>> And it doesn't smell that bad or
anything.
There's a clock still hanging on the
wall. Time stopped, folks, at 8:07 a.m.
Might have been P.M.
>> This is pretty neat. You you got a
little spot where you can put some
stuff.
>> I got to tell you, obviously the thing
needs cleaned up, but it's u it looks
like somebody just made a mess in here.
I don't see any vandalism or anything.
Um there's just crap laying all over the
floor. Looks like maybe it fell out of
that thing.
>> Mhm.
>> That other piece is in there. I don't
know. Maybe they've been in here moving
stuff around. Looks like somebody
cleaned up some of it. Um, so here is
the
kitchen counters. What is that? Is that
like a
Oh, that's like a It's designed like
that. It's like a I guess they probably
used to sell that at Lowe's.
>> That ain't bad.
>> Bush block looking.
>> Obviously, the door there ain't great,
but you know, if we're looking at this
for a rental,
doesn't have to be perfect shape. This
obviously needs cleaned up.
>> Still got it.
>> Yeah. Still got all the doors. Looks
like maybe they cut that one for the
refrigerator, but that's cool. What? The
drawer opened. Okay, now here's the
here's the telltale sign.
Mhm. Yep. No roaches.
What in the world? How did you find a
mobile home with no roaches?
Somebody Now, obviously, there's a big
mess, but somebody uh it looked like
halfway took care of this thing. That's
crazy.
>> Yep. the uh these little floor vents,
they always get all banged up. So,
that's not really much. This thing,
there's nothing um it's dirty a little
bit. I mean, obviously, I don't know
what they've been doing in here, but and
the drywall.
Drywall in mobile homes just never
works, right? But that's all right.
Okay, so the it's the kitchen. I think
the kitchen's savable.
>> Kitchen sable.
>> I didn't see any bad spots in the floor.
We obviously got a bad spot right in the
middle of the living room floor, but
there's It doesn't smell, which is
crazy. They must have not let animals
in, or if they did, they cleaned up
after them.
>> Mhm.
>> Uh the windows are different. They
They've got vinyl windows in it.
>> Yeah, these are actual mobile home
windows. I mean, actual house.
>> Huh.
>> And then you push the little pins in,
come open
>> like the new style ones.
>> Huh.
So, we don't have to worry about the old
school
metal piece of crap windows. If Donnie
can figure out how to shut it.
H, he figured it out.
>> I need to figure it out
>> eventually.
>> H. Okay.
Well, I like this so far.
>> Yeah, I walked around.
>> The ceiling looks good, too.
>> I ain't found no other bad spots.
Usually, it's around the windows.
>> We can uh we can do something with this.
Mhm.
>> Clean it up, do some drywall work, and
fix the floor. We're going to take this
carpet out. Obviously, we don't put
carpet in ours. We put laminate vinyl.
Now, we put vinyl plank flooring
>> right there, I think.
>> Yeah, there's something going on there.
>> There's another soft spot. There's some
paint for you.
The old school furnace. Wow. It's kind
of cool.
You know, I'm into old stuff, folks. So,
[Music]
here's some names.
We probably won't be able to identify
them by that. Look at that old light
fixture.
>> Mhm.
>> Now, if I get this, I would tell them to
just leave that paneling alone.
>> Okay, y'all. I want to show y'all
something here.
>> Come in here, Ronnie. Let's look here.
>> Again, doesn't smell bad.
>> See this wall?
>> Uh-huh.
For the most part, it looks perfect,
right?
>> Yeah.
>> That wall, for the most part, it looks
perfect.
>> Well, it's usable.
>> That wall, for the most part, it looks
perfect.
>> Yeah. Nothing wrong with it. Crazy. Look
at the ceiling.
>> Yep.
>> It's like I don't know. They used to
make them like that. That might be
redone. What's that? Might be a drip,
dying.
>> I think that's probably before they
replaced the roof.
>> Okay.
>> Here's a little closet.
>> Little closet.
Not bad.
>> Yeah, decent little room. I mean, it
obviously needs cleaned up. Needs new
flooring. Needs the lots of drywall
work.
>> Yeah, something going on there. So, this
laminate stuff here we have to take up
and get rid of.
Down the hallway we go. There's the back
door. Look at the more paneling.
Let's go in that room.
So, this is the second bedroom. There's
only two. Whoop.
It doesn't smell though. I mean, that's
good.
Bad spot here. Somebody left their
clothes.
Couple bad spots there. Same thing.
Window half open.
Run air conditioning.
Ceiling looks good. These I ain't seen
in one before.
>> Is that a Is that a stereo?
>> No, it's a vent. It's an air vent to
draft up.
>> H I don't know what that is.
>> Maybe it goes out to the ceiling. The
roof.
>> So,
put some light on the subjects.
>> That's been up a long time.
>> This This here
has made above the uh above the hot
water tank.
I don't know that I like it, but I don't
know that I don't.
>> Huh?
>> It's something different.
>> Little shelf they built over the hot
water tank.
>> Give you a little more
a little more
>> decent size closet there.
>> And then that's a kind of a, you know,
you can put a chest of drawers there and
then there's room. They put a shelf
above where that would be. That's
>> give you a little more room. I don't
know why you wouldn't just I guess
that's where your TV goes, right? Got
some drywall work again.
Something they've redid there at some
point. Yeah, a lot of drywall work. And
they painted over the paneling in here,
>> but the paneling is still in decent
shape. Doesn't need uh replaced.
>> Put a regular household door on it.
>> Mhm.
>> Regular six panel door. So, obviously
not the Taj Mahal, but very usable and
reworkable. And the main thing we're
looking for stuff that doesn't uh stink,
have obvious, you know, roach
infestations and crap like that where
they let a dog in here. Now, the floor
is still rotted away, so we'd have to
take the carpet up and see what's going
on under that. But, that's really not
that big of a deal once you start
messing with it.
>> Child lock on.
>> Mhm. So, the uh don't look that bad,
really.
>> Mhm.
>> Now, y'all, we uh what we do, we buy
these older mobile homes like this and
fix them up and uh make series out of
them and then we rent them out. So, if
you like that kind of stuff, go back on
our channel and look, you'll see plenty
of them that we've done that way.
>> Mhm.
>> And uh this one might be there, too.
>> Yeah.
>> Okay. I
>> think only thing left would be the
bathroom.
>> Laundry area here. Oh, laundry area.
Room there for a washer.
>> Dryer is over there.
>> Room here for a dryer. There's the
hookup.
>> And then you got your bathroom. Your
bathroom and the floor
right there. Obviously,
>> somebody done fell through the floor.
Donnie,
>> it seems like a series that we do here.
>> Now, notice he didn't mind. That's
because every house you go in, every
mobile home you go in, somebody's
falling through the floor.
those kick you for. You got a little
closet here. This something I ain't
never seen before. I ain't never seen a
closet in one.
>> I guess they just had extra room, so I
went for it.
>> We got a closet here in this. And uh you
got your bathtub in.
>> The toilet's not disgusting, so that's
good.
>> Bathtub is pretty disgusting.
>> Um but it's a one of flimsy surrounds.
The four piece or six piece piece six
pieces.
>> Uhhuh.
>> That probably have to go. I don't know
if you could save the tub.
Might have to replace it, too.
>> Yeah, it's I think it's yellow.
>> Huh? That's what
old school
H.
>> So, one of them
>> I was just thinking
guess it depends on how much how
creative you want to get. What What's in
that room there, D?
>> Nothing. Closet. You could bump bump
that out and put a regular size bathtub
in it.
>> You know, we tried that once before. I
tried to put a regular bathtub in one. I
put one in one, but be time like this
bathtub and this surround here is going
to cost me about uh I think it's $800.
So, I can buy the bathtub and the
surround at Home Depot, a regular one,
for about $400. So, I got $400 to play
with. Be time. I move this wall, move it
back to 6 in, whatever it is. Redo the
plumbing cuz this one's in the center.
It's got to go to the end. Then I got to
put an overflow in it. Then I got to get
the uh the hot and cold lines and all
that stuff ran back up there to the new
one. Reconfigure all that. You don't
save any money at all.
>> Mhm.
>> So, sometimes it's not worth doing if
you just want a bigger bathtub, you
know.
>> Yeah. Uh yes, obviously you can do it,
but it's not uh you're not doing it to
save money, let's say. You can do it if
you want to. That can be done. And like
right here, I can get to all the
plumbing. So, it ain't that big of a
deal.
>> Mhm.
>> But you don't do it to save money,
that's for sure. And you can get a just
a cheapo bathtub like that one with a
six piece top on it. They're about uh
350 bucks. So,
>> you could replace it, you know, pretty
relatively cheap.
