There’s no better feeling than the feeling of a door closing properly after installing it! Her face says it all 😊
Being a retired contractor/project manager I would like to pass on a trick. You dont need to leave the door in the frame to hang it. Get the hinge side plumb and the threshold level and then fit the rest of the frame to the door. I promise with practice its much easier then fighting that heavy door and frame all in at once. I also use 2 1/2 to 3 inch torx head screws to hold it in place under the weather strip and then one in each hinge..
Angela during the exterior reveal, "Nice!" Made me smile so much I watched it twice.
I am so impress with your intense dedication to the various upgrades and renovation work that you have undertaken.
Glad that you've included the boys with many of the projects.
Way to go mom and dad
Y'all are inspiring me to get some upgrades done on this poor old 70's model double we live in! Came for the roof over and staying for the rest. Stay well
I really enjoy watching Angela's facial reactions and squeals that she answers you with when you say anything she thinks is exciting .
Great job you two. Not everyone would take the time to make it right.
Did the same thing a few years ago. Much easier getting furniture in and out with the bigger door . Great job !
Totally!!
Wow that makes the house look like a HOME. Having struggled with furniture and small spaces I definitely approve larger is much more functional. Can hardly wait for the full Reno. So enjoying watching you solve challenges.
We totally agree! It's amazing how the "big door" makes the space inside and looks outside feel now!
Another great diy project done well. Entry door replacements are often times challenging due to rot of the opening or actual door frame as well as rot on the floor near the door as well. I've replaced several exterior doors and have never had one that didn't have a problem along the way to fix. Good job and I can't wait to see the finished entryway!
Thanks 👍 This was our first full replacement. Quite the plethora of things going on, but thankfully our prior DIY projects helped see us through the newness. :)
I absolutely love the door I have looked at it and wished I could put it someplace in my house. I love it that you guys always go the extra mile to make sure everything is done correctly....... Hugs
Thanks!! We really like it too, so happy Angela found it and at a good deal from Home Depot!
My ex was installing the door into our mobile home and a few friends stopped over, next thing you know he left with them and I had a big opening , had to lean the door up in the there until he came home many many hours later, couldn’t go to bed , couldn’t lock the door, he was too inebriated to finish of course, so many bugs got in . Just one of the dumb moves that made me decide NO more! And I had a 2 year old running around !
Wow his priorities were up the sh*t weren't they? And his friends could have helped finish the door before they all left. Or perhaps it might have been just as well they didn't.
We're very sorry to hear you had that happen.
Loved watching this video.
😂 the kid said I'm out and left the 2 year old with you
Sounds like you needed to get rid of him instead of the door lol
I really like that style of door! Looks great.😊
Thank you! 😊 We're really enjoying how much better it makes the place look and feel already! Just have to look at it with tunnel vision to hide the walls. LOL
Makes a big difference, absolutely love the door, and you two are a great team.
You'll are awesome. Hearing the 'feral' kids in the background brings back wonderful memories. God Bless you.
Thanks!!
Just think of the beautiful outcome of all those flustered moments ❣️❣️❣️
I would like to see you put a roof over the front porch and the steps. I know you guys don't have a lot of snow and ice but having the steps covered when you do is very nice and a safety factor. Good job with the door.
I started watching SamCraft vids on CZcams. I too am a woodworker and have purchased a Shapeoko Pro XXL and loving it. Sam had mentioned in passing about this channel and how it was taking up his time. I see why and how this is. However, I am enjoying watching your family work your land and renovate your home. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of it all.
Very cool! Welcome to this alternate version of Sam & glad you came over! LOL
It’s basically like a regular home install after you enlarged the rough opening to fit……I have always replaced mobile home doors with house doors and the rot you found around the door is very typical of mobile homes…almost every metal clad mh I have done had rot.
I just found your channel and I'm so happy I did! I'm a new subscriber. You two are a joy to watch. I love watching Renos and it's a pleasure to watch a couple that work well together and are so respectful of each other. I know what channel I'm binge watching this weekend 💕
Awesome! Thank you so much for the kind words!
Hey Sam I learned something new! Now I know what a king stud and a jack stud is. I already knew what a header was.
Happy to help spread the -ologisms! :)
Thank yall.
Yall are so smart.k wish I could be as smart inspiration
You guys are cool! It's fun to watch you work together. Nice job on the new door. It's a beaut! Praise God!
I love it when you both work together and your a team, your boys help out when they are asked to, you guys never argue or fight...and this is Exciting to see you guys do this, keep it up your doing a good job...love you guys
Aww, thank you!!
I've been watching your channel quite a while now. I've never left a message till now. I want to thank you for taking the time to create and share these videos with us! I thoroughly enjoy watching you and your family. And I am always encouraged whenever I spend time with you! 😉👍
We really appreciate you taking the time to let us know and consider this such a big compliment. Thank you!!! We'll keep working to not let you down. :)
I'm impressed by the way you two work together. My wife and I are like two tigers in the same cage. After nearly starting World War 3 by trying jointly to do a job, it was decided, by whom I wonder, that men's work should be left to me. We are still together after 34 years so it was a good decision. Well done you two. The door looks quite posh!
My husband and I are in the same cage lol heck I can't go anywhere with him and we have 25 yrs lol
Fantastic! You may have just earned you PHD in Doorology! 🌼
I love watching you guys, you are so cute the way you interact with each other. Keep.up the good videos. God bless.😊💗
I may replace the residential door in my mobile home with another one so here I am! Next Spring when I do the exterior. Thanks for the video.
Beautiful quality door & fitting, so nice to see first class workmanship & attention to detail TFS
Aww, thank you!!
Sounds like a plan, on the door. Square and plumb. Also CZcams has great tutorials…lol. Thanks for the fun. 😀
You guys are adorable! You can definitely tell you love each other!
Very helpful. My mother just purchased a manufactured home in Florida. I can do this project with my brother and uncle. Thanks for sharing.
As someone who never intended on, never planned on, and never wanted to be in a wheelchair but now I am I personally appreciate when people put in doors big enough that me and my wheels can fit through even if I never come to your house, even if you never need it, it helps that resell value!
It is definitely something I try to bear in mind when doing things and if at all possible make accommodations. We never know what the future may bring for us. :)
Y’all! I love the new door.
Doors are expensive in general if you think about it, it’s a door…..
Great teamwork!
Love watching y’all!
We agree! Thanks!
Wow!You both did a great job!Never realized you could install a residential door in a mobile home,great job❤Watched video at 12:30
This video was good enjoy watching this you can also use your multipurpose tool to cut your shims. So you don’t have to use your saw.
Wow, you folks get lots of rain. Your area is beautiful. Thanks for the lesson on replacing the door.
My wife and me inherited my parents 1988. Well last weekend a young girl backed into the front corner of our mobile home, she just started learning. No insurance so I will have to fix it myself . Was hoping to get a idea of what its going to take to fix it by watching you two . Guess all I can do is jump in and hope for the best 👌
💡 When you get that new furniture 😍, if there are any cushions on the old stuff, KEEP THEM❗🙌
They make great knee cushions for when you have to kneel to do a job❗👍
I am a retired GC in residential construction of custom homes. I love seeing people go out of their comfort zone and take on projects they have never done. That is how I got started, KUDOS to you both great job and I know from experience that Mobile homes are a whole different ballgame. You did a great job and look forward to more videos. God bless
Much appreciated, thanks!!
Just bought a old mobile home and me and my wife are renovating it piece by piece so your videos are great info for us so big THANK YOU!
Love the door, will be picking one up at Home Depot.
These folks are smart and funny. Very funny. And very smart.
That was really fun to watch, and as I sat there I kept looking at the main entry door on our mobile home, realizing that the previous owner must have done something similar. The big difference is that there had not been a door there at all, and he completely rebuilt that whole wall of the house. I'm appreciating the work he did a lot more as I see you laboring away. Thanks for sharing this.
I am so happy for y’all. My hubby and I lived in a single wide when we first got married and had to spray paint X’s on the floor so we knew where not to step! I love that you are able to make these improvements on your own life situation. And the fact that you are doing it is freakin awesome!!!!
That is truly a humble abode when you have to mark the floor for the weak spots!🤣 I had company once whose chair broke through the floor in my kitchen!
Love the way y’all work together. It makes a marriage strong.
Thanks! We truly do enjoy working with each other on things.
'And they call that a header!' Ha! I was thinking the same thing!
Sam you did a good job explaining what you were doing.
Man I wish I had enlarged my door when I replaced it last year I absolutely love it you guys did an awesome job.... I will enlarge mine also when I replaced my wallboard for drywall
I actually set down and watched this video two times because it was just great to see that beautiful door go up and see you two work together the way you do just amazing. God bless you all.
Aww, thank you!
Sam, you are so smart that you make everything work. You are going to have a brand new house. You could have built one from scratch with your knowledge and determination! Well done! 👊🏼👏🏼👍🏼
"Winging it. Volume 12, page 37".....that"s the same book i've been reading for decades!😂 But now, have turned to page 37 and will be doing this same job this Saturday...and yep, calling for rain🤦 Thanks for sharing and I'm just gonna GO FOR IT!! (today is Feb. 1st, 2023) and taking FOREVER for this remodel of ours. We work on it as the money, mood, grandkids activities, holidays and a little laziness allows us!😂 Not a primary home but will be when we finish. And have learned "Nothing is ever easy"!! Especially a mobile home remodel!!🤦😂🤣
This reminds me of when we repaired our mobile home. Everytime we tore into a wall we found a snakes skin. 🤦♀️ everyone wanted to move! Lol
I got a trailer home a month ago and am going to have to do this soon... I’m starting to think I’m in way over my head at 19 without a stable income (until as of recently) a lot of your videos are SUPER HELPFUL. I’m so thankful your channel exists 😭❤️
You can do it.
Love the new door. You two are going to have a beautiful home when your done
Another great job. I love watching you guys!
I used to live in TN and I remember the rain storms and humidity so well. Now I live in Idaho where the humidity gets as low as 17 percent and the summer heat goes up to 115 degrees. I love Idaho but I've always loved TN too. My parents lived there for about 30 years. It's always been home to me. I love what you guys are doing!
Every year you are at your new location where you are moving your home buy a 50 lb of K31 or Rebel fescue grass seed and seed to a 100 lb to the acre every spring. You can drive anything over it once it gets established on the wettest days. The Rebel Fescue is a thin bladed Fescue which is very popular in the Midwest. It stands drouth and stays greener longer or probably green year round where you are at. My yard is all Rebel Fescue and looks like bluegrass. Buy a section of harrow and raise as high as you can get it then weld it into that position then drag it backwards to make one heck of a reseeding drag.
🇬🇧 Bespoke....lovely word, but I also love your 'fenangle'...ie. to arrange something after a lengthy period of negotiation. Thanks for the new word!💞🥰🤣. Door is indeed a delight....and added light is great!
I just found your channel and I'm so glad I did!!! I live in a mobile home also and need to redo quite a bit (and do it myself). Hopefully I don't wreck my home. Lol but watching y'all do it shows me that it isn't as daunting as I initially thought. Also, yall are the sweetest ❤
Too bad we all don't live around each other, free labor helping one another! Plus always coffee
You kids did a good job with that door, and i like all of your vids that I have seen so far! Thought you were very young to be whistling "Rain drops keep falling on my head", I was just shy of 7 years old when I first heard it on Armed Forces Radio Network, living with my Dad when he was stationed in Germany!
Why thank you! :) I'm pretty sure I was singing that song as we were working in/out of the house with it raining. Just the whistling made it to the final cut though.
One of my first grade memories was that song!!! And I'm 62☺️
@@marystrenke6299 I would have been in second grade, and I'm 58! I started first grade when I was 5, no kindergarten on base in Germany!
I love your channel it’s bespoke as we say in the Uk 🇬🇧
Yay bespoke!! :)
Y’all are so down to earth!, I enjoy following along.
Thank you, we appreciate that! It can be difficult sometimes comparing our channel to others and wondering if we're doing the right "style" of videos. Glad you enjoy them as we make them! :)
You both are enjoyable to watch, You work so well together. Angela you are amazing in good way. Sam you are great carpenter amazing with tools this why you need everyone you have. 😊😊😊
Thank you so much!
Sweet couple, you can see the love and adoration they have for each other! And you do good honest work!
She’s a great Carpenter!
You two are amazing, I love your team work and how you get things done and the bloopers hahaha
Rain drops keep falling on my head 🎶 😴
Thank you
I just installed a door in my mobile home beginning with rough. Your video helped.
My son just bought a single wide that should have been condemned...thanks for sharing how to install a new door. THAT will be the first project! You two are so cute!!!!
Happy to help!
Great job installing the door Sam and Angela
Ok, that ending was awesome! The music is playing, the drone flies up to expose the view and birds do a fly-by! That's some great cinematography! Three exclamation marks in a row‽‽‽
The door is absolutely beautiful!!
Thank you so much, we really like it too!
Yall are doing so much stuff just like me. I too build a second roof over an old trailer. I too put a res' door in. I too hang my tarps from the second roof. I had 5 big water damage spots. 3 down 2 to go. I saw other new mobile home installs having 2 cinder block supports under the door. I followed suit.
Good for y'all for not letting things intimidate you. Just jump in on it. That's what I have always done. Got it from my dad. It always works out even if you have to ask advice. God bless you and God bless America 🙏.
Just picked up a standard residential door for my mobile home with no casing so I will definitely be winging it and have to add some mystery sauce but you definitely gave me some ideas and by the way you guys are just the cutest couple and work so well together best wishes and luck to you
that was a great video! I recently trimmed out my main entry door and realized how much I hated the metal frame that is there and wanted to THINK about replacing my door and frame. this gives me hope to do it myself for sure!
Enjoyed Y'alls chemistry...Y'all are blessed.
Thank you! 🤗
Very nice door ! Thanks for the smiles and laughs.
Our pleasure!
Sangela, sounds fitting. You forgot to mention Angela, when completing the door with extra screws you said " we have two boys" I think Sam always says two feral boys. MobilehomeOlogist or not you did a very professional job. Its gonna be real nice when you're done.
Having done this twice on two different mobile I can vouch you will love it.
Winging it,volume twelve,page 37. Lol I go by that same book!
Nice! I remember the good old days of having 12' of my exterior walls out at a time doing windows and doors.
You are the king of mobile home renos Jim!
A marvelous front door! Good job! 😊❤❤❤❤
First we bought the same style of door, second your explanation of the header, king and studs, was awesome. Praying our door install goes as smooth as yours!🏜🏡
We're rooting for you! :)
i stumbled into you guys so refreshing wat a beautiful couple and children godbless your family.you guys are making everything you do look easy.you work so good together.
All the pre hung doors are like that, have to dial in the final fit of the lock set and dead bolt assembly ! I have to do that every time ! Your install looks great ! Like the door 🚪
A good life hack is using a car jack and a 2x4 stud will help lift the roof up to get your studs in if beating it doesn’t work.
Great video Sam and Angela
NICE DOOR!!!!!!! Love watching you all!
Love the door! I'm showing my husband the video. 😁. Thank you!
You guys crack me up! I want you for my neighbors….lol. I would have lots of projects for Sam and Angela. The new door looks great. God’s blessings from SW VA.
I was there during that kitchen wall demo, major episode. That door is awesome, love the style/ Well done guys, once again.
Seems like so long ago! And we sooo appreciate and love that you've stuck with us since then! :)
Growing in 63 mobile home.. I totally appreciate u guys..
I feel like you all are getting closer to installing the new siding! I know it's a cost issue. But I can't wait!
I'm sure by now you've already done the drywall wind the door but it think once you put up drywall the door will be touch and trim nicely... looks good! And I left a different comment asking about cost but you have now answered that so thank you!!
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
Your video is absolutely awesome!! I am getting ready to commit to my MH door, but never having done one before, I was quite hesitant. Your Video showed me all the steps, materials and misc stuff I need to get started. Thank you so much!
You guys are such a cute couple and work so good together
I enjoy your videos. That I’m watching the rebuild again
