Nice Layout in this 1996 Huge Double Wide Mobile Home We Found... But $59k???

Donnie. Yes. Oh there you are. What are you doing? I'm trying to stay warm right here against this road. It's cold. It is kind of cold today. We're here at an undisclosed location. Undisclosed. Looking at a used mobile home that they have for sale. Donnie's hearing uh screen doors fly open over there. There is this huge mobile home lot that uh sells new and used mobile homes and they let you cut they're nice enough to let you come down here and look through some of these things. They've got this one for sale. We don't work for them. We're not trying to sell it to you. Don't buy it. There you go. How's that? Um but we we like going in here and uh seeing the different models and how they're designed and stuff like that. So this is a little older one. It'll be cool to see what the layout's like. What do you think Donnie? It looks pretty good. It's pretty long. You normally don't see a double wide this long. What uh what year are you going to guess here looking at the front of it? 98. 98. Okay that sounds about right. And if you look look at the shutters on the front there. I thought that was interesting. They're a different color than all the other ones. Is that because they repainted them or is that because they uh had a deck. I mean a like a screen porch around it maybe. They repainted them. See that one over there is red. Oh yeah. They lost one and uh they had to put some more up there. That one there was red too. Yeah I don't know. Something's going on. Yeah I think you're right. They may have repainted it. We're gonna walk around. We'll look at it. So I don't know who made this thing yet. Try these every time we see them. Yeah that's pretty cool. So there you go folks. It's quick disconnects just like in a uh forklift battery. That's how they connect the two sides together so you have power in both bedrooms. See and they got red and red and then the other one's not. So they know which one is supposed to lock to each other. Pretty interesting. And the reason that would be you would need to know that is because of the breaker box. Yes. With the breaker in the back bedroom it actually shuts off the laundry room. Did you see all that wood up underneath that they're running? Yeah. They did some major. Yeah they had some problems when they brought this one in. So we're. Plexi window. So we're uh like I said they just let people come down here and look at these. They're all for sale um and they get them as repossessions or people trade them in on a new one or whatever and then they clean them up a little bit. A little bit. And then sell them as projects for for people. Look at how many nails they had in that back fascia board. Yeah that's kind of crazy. But I might have guessed a little too new because it's got Yeah. Well we'll see. But yeah look at the how they put their overhang. And it's starting to spit rain so we're gonna have to speed it up y'all. All right he wants y'all to hurry up. Of course I'm gonna take my time but y'all go ahead. So it is a big old long trailer Donnie. You're right. What? I never thought about doing them that way. What? Take the inside window out and throw it away. They did bump them that way. Do what? Take the inside window out and throw it away. Why? What they did. What do you mean by take it out and throw it away? Why would that be good? Because it's got doubles down there. Doubles on that one and these are singles. Oh okay. I never thought about that just throwing it out. Just another single. They've done some little repair work here. Oh got it Donnie come tell them about this here. It is starting to a little bit. It is fire. Look at that. It's all the way down through here. Yep fire damage. See it? See how the vinyl is warped up there? And then see the rust and stuff on the vent up there? And then around that window see the ripple? No they cut this. It's a new window. Look at the top though. Yeah they cut all that in. You know you know you could depending on what saw you used you could heat the stuff up enough cutting it that it freaking rippled but I don't know. Look they something's going on. And and sometimes whenever that vinyl's heat damaged like that it's not that there there was a fire in the house sometimes there was a fire outside of the house. That's covering up the bathroom. See that too? They don't they don't want you uh seeing them while they're in naked. It's a grab and go. Look at that. What's a grab what's a grab and go Donnie? They grabbed this damn thing and went. They took a chain uh saws a whole chainsaw or something. They must have found out when the guy was gonna be at work. We got to go. We got to go. If you showed up with about eight people you could probably grab and go. How long do you think it would take them? This is how quick they was trying to get the hell out of there. They cut that instead of unscrewing it. They ain't got time for that Donnie. Cut it. Cut it. We gotta go. Cut it. They didn't even pull the nails. They just drove off. Yeah that's where they missed with their saw when I was cutting the front deck off. Yeah we got to go. We ain't got time for this. Somebody ate Taco Bell that day. Dreams. Yeah so it looks like the the uh shutters right around the door that maybe they had repainted at some point and the one up above. Okay. Yeah. Now look at that. It's weird. I don't know. I don't know. Whatever. We're gonna go inside folks. Let's see what the out of this sucker's like. Here we go. Anybody home? Anybody home? We always check to see if anybody's home. Put the door on backwards. Look at that. It's kind of weird. You step down into the house. Put the door on backwards. Yeah. It's usually that fits on the outside to create like a weather seal. So they've kind of. That one's probably going to leak a little bit. We're going remember that one we did where it had that angled wall there but that was a room. It's a big old nice one. Yeah that was a that was a. Yeah. That was a. They buy these things and then they. You know the the floor has only got a couple places that they've patched which tells me that it's probably in decent shape. It doesn't smell like animal either. Do you smell an animal? Yeah so they like. So they've only patched it there and there. Usually these things have all kinds of problems in the floor. So this one doesn't. Of course somebody has replaced the piece by the door too. So it's not that bad and what they do is that when they're cleaning them up they paint them this real ugly brown beige whatever color. They must have a bunch of that paint. All right so we're going in here. It looks like an interesting layout. Oh this is going to. This is going to be the master. They took the light switch. What in the hell? I don't know about that. Okay let me show them. Light switch. This is a really weird layout. Both sides are like that. So it's vaulted but it's like got this weird double vault kind of thing. You'd think that would take a more cost more money to do that. Like it would just that they wouldn't do it and it goes all the way around. So this side's the same way. They just re-sprayed it. That's just a strange kind of layout. I mean I kind of like it though. I like when they make the ceilings as high as they can. It just. So this is the master and it's basically got an extra room in it. It's got an extra suite. Donnie's out looking. So this would be what are we calling this room Donnie? The study? He said yep. All right so there's a walk-in closet. There's that weird wall that's crooked. We did a video of one a little while back where that was a doorway into a room here. So they could have done that here I guess. So maybe this is the same. Maybe he's trying to figure out if this is the same brand as the other one. That's going to be access probably for the bathtub shower. Yeah it's a cool kind of layout. It's just different. Yeah he was he was you have you an emergency tonight? No I've been here for a year. It sounded like you were using the toilet. Okay for a year. I didn't dump Taco Bell. I don't know why they did that like Donnie was mentioning. There must be another suite somewhere or maybe they've got a platform. So that room there is pretty cool. All right so let's check out this bathroom Donnie. This is a big boy. Big boy. It's got to be a big boy. No it ain't that big. Got serious floor issues going on. No bathtub. Yeah this is all obviously all been completely redone I think. So there's a shower there. It looks like a newer shower actually. There's a toilet here. There's plywood on the and they just kind of put it on the floor. Let me go back out so you can see. You can't use this shower. It's just the plywood was just sitting on the old floor. Stand right here. Look at that big ass crack around the bottom of my damn bathtub. Yeah it's you can't use it. I'm sure it like goes up above that but yeah this ain't great. I will say and it's got a little tiny vanity. So probably what happened was this whole room was destroyed and this this uh lot has probably came in here and done this work including maybe putting this plywood down. I don't think so. You think that was before? But it's all screwed up. Like whenever you walk on it the plywood moves. It's not even nailed down and it's not three quarter. It's like that real thin maybe three eighths or something. Think about it. Yeah well I don't know. It's kind of there's plenty of room here but this would be one if somebody bought it they would really need to just gut that whole thing and do it right. There's also a soft spot before right there. These bathrooms they just they get wet you know and it just rots this this cheap flooring that they use. All right so this is a pretty nice master suite though Donnie. Look at it. These hit floors falling over the last four inches. Yeah so this is a hell of a roomy spot though. Yeah with that big tall ceiling I like that. It's just weird. I think this has major problems in the ceiling. And they've redone the whole thing. Okay so you know more than we do right now people because you probably know what kind this is because I probably put it in the title after I figured it out. Okay so this is a nice big room here. We'll go back over here by the door. You can see they've got a huge area here. This is where the pool table goes. You put your pool table right here. This I would make like you know the living room and then uh well you got that in there though. So it's got three large rooms that go into the kitchen too. So you the whole middle of the home is these four rooms. That's pretty cool. I like how they did that. Just open floor plan you know. And they put down this wood flooring and it's actually I mean it's all scratched up now but yeah it's it's like legit. I mean that's some pretty decent stuff. That's not plank I don't think. I mean that's like actual. Yeah I don't know that they'll ever be able to save it because it's so uh scratched up but all right. So this room the main room here whatever we're calling that. This room Donnie said was the dining room. I think that makes sense. And then here we are in the kitchen. Looks like they've spray painted the cabinets white but they look you know usable. Well they did that. I see why they did that. Got a new hood and they got a new oak cabinet. Oh yeah it's a brand new cabinet. Okay so maybe they've redone all these. You'd think that would have left them oak. Oh they just changed a couple of them? Yeah. Okay. But uh I ain't found nothing. Donnie's looking for the little sticker that tells you who made it. Yeah that one's different. Completely different setup. That's old school stuff in there though. Yeah. Yeah let's show them that Donnie. This could be an 80s. So that's the that's the finish that was on the paper over gypsum or vinyl over gypsum. Whatever. Yeah the drywall. You got a little pantry. It's kind of a smaller refrigerator would have went there. So this wouldn't have been like a big top of the line one I guess. But I think it's a pretty decent pantry. Doors fall off the hinges. So this this the way I would characterize this home is it hasn't been abused. It just hasn't really been maintained. So it's falling apart a little bit which is kind of what mobile homes do after a while. But there's no animal damage which is a big plus. And they have only had to fix a couple of the floors which kind of proves that there's no animal damage. Uh Donnie we ought to be able to find a date on the floor. Maybe look right there. So say 86. I would think this is more. Let's look in here. Let's see if we find one. Damn I don't see one. Usually they've got it stamped on the floor and you'll see some dates or something. Oh yeah here here you go. Here's a uh here's a name. That's what you're looking at. Sometimes it's hard to make it out. Let's keep looking. Maybe we'll find something Okay. Well it does kind of look like one. Um oh and we didn't mention the plywood under the sink. It must have rotted away. All right so they like I said they kind of just fix these up as easy as they can so that they can flip them. All right so here is the laundry room. Utility room. Washer and dryer go there. Donnie must have been looking at this earlier. You couldn't find a date on this Donnie? A little square d electrical panel. Uh did you look on this capacitor here on the fan? I'm reminding him to do all of the things that he knows to do and told me to do. So we're walking on down the hallway. We have found bedroom number two and one little piece of the floor replaced. He's looking for a date. This is very important to us people. We like knowing when the thing was built. It's got the what we call vaulted ceilings or yeah here's a good example of a bad floor. So it's humped up here where it's on a beam and then you can see it dip down pretty bad. That's probably just from moisture not necessarily water standing on it or anything but you can just see how it's look how bad the floor is bowed there Donnie. That's pretty severe. Okay so this is bedroom number two. It's be you know maybe a kid's bedroom but it's it's Yeah uh-huh I saw that up front. It's actually a little bigger than most. Here's bedroom number three. Look how they moved the vent. That's weird. Man it can't be an 80. Yeah I just can't read that. Yeah I wouldn't think this is an 80. I would think early 90s but you know what? I'm sure our viewers will tell us what they think. Uh what's this one Donnie? See if it says 98. Did you look at it? What are we looking at there? 96. Okay so it's upside down. If everybody's gonna get dizzy watching this video. 96. I think that looks right. I think it's about a 96. Bedroom number four. It's starting to rain. Donnie's gonna melt. Looks like access to yet another bathroom. Let's see if the hall let's see if the kids bathroom held up better than the adults bathroom. That'd be a negative. All right so look at the plywood folks. Now that's the replacement plywood because originally it would have had that particle board crap. So that's what it's starting to rot away for a second time. Um look at the top on the toilet. I don't think I've ever seen one like that. It's pretty cool. All right well what do you think Donnie? What do you think about this place? It's not that bad really. Yeah I think it's got a very interesting layout. I like the layout a lot. Four. It's a four bedroom two bath but it's got plenty of living space in the front. So I just like how they designed it. Um and you got all the kids down here at this end of the house. Did have air conditioner in it. Had AC in it. That's good. It's got big tall ceilings. 96 model but I don't know what manufacturer it is. Yeah I think this is the the cool part of the house here. I just think there's plenty of room and I kind of like how they did the double arches and stuff. Cool. Well there you go folks. Oh and we didn't even mention has a full fireplace. Y'all if you like what you see give us a thumbs up for filming. Subscribe to the channel if you haven't already and we'll catch you on the next one. We've done some other ones with fireplaces. If that that seems strange to me to put a fireplace in a mobile home but they do it. So if you want to see another one that we did that was even bigger and nicer check this video out.
