I love that Ashley is your calm to the storm! She just kept calm and came up with answers when you were ready to give up! You two work so very hard and work together to simply overcome any obstacles! Love your videos!
Doug’s sense of humor really comes out in this video. Love it! Ashley is the ying to your yang and you make a perfect couple. I know I would have been very frustrated having to take off what I just did but it’s a learning process. You’ll be expert roofers by the time you’re done.
My thoughts exactly.
I just love how calm she is. Her voice is so soothing. I do feel like you. It's a great match. That also spills over to how emotionally equipped the children seem to be as well.
Ditto
Ashley does not get enough credit and praise for her work! Yay Ashley! ❤😊
Yesss much happier and chirpy 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😁😁😁
My Dad always told me…”Do a job right or don’t do it at all!” That stuck with me my whole life. If you have to redo, so be it. The end result will be worth it. By the way Doug, was surprised to see you in a different shirt other than that green one! 😂😂
Doug, your sense of humor has been a real pleasure. Keep it going, man.
Sometimes it takes a calmer person to steer the worried person in the correct path. But I have to tell you the roof is looking so good. You both have done a great job on it.
You did the right thing in leaving the original roof intact. When getting overwhelmed, that is the time to step back, and regroup. ❤
Your last video you were apologizing for jumping around .
BUT remember WE are following YOUR Journey.!!! If you jump around so be it, sometimes we need time to figure things out so we don't have to redo them better.
Good call on waiting 🥰
Doug. You have a wonderful soulmate in Ashley and I thank the Lord that you recognise how good she is for you. You make a perfect couple together. God bless you both.
You will be glad you did the roof and not someone else. There is no way they would take the same care that you do. Glad Ashley kept you on track.
I'm right there with you, if you're going to do it, do it right. You could never hire anyone who would do as good a job as you have 👍👌💪
YOU ALWAYS DO A GREAT JOB, BETTER THAN MOST CAN DO OR WILL DO. YOUR A LOVELY COUPLE,LOVE TO BOTH.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
If you hired someone to replace the roof, they would have just thrown the purlins up on the roof and not paid attention to any waviness. The roof will look much, much better since you guys did it.
We hired someone to replace the roof on our doublewide. They did not put the purlins on the roof, and we had to replace the metal roof that should have lasted 40 or 50 years after only 7 years because they stripped out a lot of the screws going into the thin layer of OSB that was originally installed at the factory. This left penetration points for water to come in, which it did. Therefore, the entire roof had to be replaced a second time.
You both are doing a great job! Thanks for doing things better than the average Joe.
I have noticed over the years there are times you need Ashley’s calm and quiet practicality to help with Doug’s stress. And I have seen Doug doing the same for Ashley. No one is on an even keel all the time and helping your spouse get through is huge in a marriage! You are getting there one obstacle at a time and in the process are showing others solutions to problems they may also have with a similar situation. 🙏👍💕
Lay off the pot u2
We've never done pot, just sayin'.
That and EXTREME OCD lol
When Doug said, his frustrations had him thinking he might need to hire someone to do the job, it brought a smile to my face. I'm almost certain that the best team possible, is already on the roof. Thanks for explaining in detail the reasons for not removing the old metal roof. I initially thought that might be best, but knew you had your reasons.
Being a perfectionist is a chore. I feel you. It all came out great. One my side left....yay. hugs
I love how you both have a sense of humor. You both managed to work through obstacles so you're finished product turns out good.
All the years watching your videos you folks never age It must be the hard work good food and lots of sleep Keep it up
You two are the puzzle pieces 🧩, you always find a way to get it to fit right 👍
You are right Doug, you couldn’t do this whole project without Ashley! So glad you acknowledged it.
You always overcome the obstacles; such great work and you both make a great team. Love your videos😊
Doug & Ashley, I laughed when you had to pull all the batten off because I can totally relate. When hubby and I are taking care of our bride aka the house that we are married to, LOL, nothing ever goes smoothly, EVER! Something always requires a lot of extra work so we often say, "WHY can't things FOR ONCE go smoothly, so when you get one small thing that goes right like the vent removal, it's almost a celebration. So glad you figured it out and the other side will go much quicker.....HOPEFULLY!😉☺
Every time Doug worries about their roof being off by 1/10th of a millimeter, I glance over at the mobile home just across the way, then back at their 'rough' work.
I get the need for doing it right. Their hard work has taught me a new appreciation for roofers.
Ashley seemes to always be so calm, and cool. She has a patience I wish I possessed! That was nice to hear Doug joke around. 🥰
When you are at the edge of the roof, it makes me nervous, lol. I couldn't go up there. If I got up there, I would not be able to get on the ladder to get down. I would have to be a roof ornament, lol.
You two are fearless.
Great job as usual.
I'm so glad Ashley was able to encourage you. That wasn't a fun experience for sure. You two did it and I saw Belle helping too! ❤
Absolutely LOVE your sense of humor! A successful team always has each others best interest at heart; if one is struggling, the other stays strong for them. You two ROCK!!!
Doug didn’t recognize how much Ashley kept you grounded good couple.
Doug, I may not agree with some of your design choices but your workmanship is spot on. Great job on the roof. Be well.
Lol! Earnest P. Worrell --Earnest scared stupid to be exact. My kids always loved the Earnest movies, we all did -do. Well, the good ones anyway. Jim Varney was a very talented man! He could do Shakespeare with the best of them. He's missed!
The roof is coming along nicely! It looks really good!
It's nice to see the two of you cooperate with and support each other in such a respectful manner...as always It payed off!
Have a great weekend!
Hi kids 👋 Bye kids 👋
I've been with you guys since the early days in Kokomo. I know that you have your ups and downs, as we all do. I appreciate that you guys share with us your feelings of doubt at times. You don't have to do that. You could be "superman" on your videos. But you are transparent. It really makes your successes all the sweeter. We're right here, rooting for you too. Hang on tight to Ashley. That gal has some brains, and knows how to use 'em! Love you both....keep up the good work! ♥
Well-said and I agree with you, they are humble and transparent.
I adore you too so much! You just mesh. Doug, you made me actually laugh out loud when you said you like ripping that plastic off like you like ripping the skin off your lips and then you did the kissy face.😅😅😅😂😂 I can't believe that you've guys kept it together this long like anyone else would have had meltdowns and your meltdowns are like someone's normal day. You're so COOL HEADED, BOTH OF YOU ❤
Hi guys! You all see and feel frustration - - but I see major success and progress! Keep it up! Great job, and blessings to you all.
I love how you both work so well side by side........this is the way it should be with husband and wife. I wish I had your knowledge on how to fix and build things. This is why God has given you a great helpmate......when you feel like giving up on this build, your wife helps you to refocus.
That always impresses me about Doug and Ashley. They do everything together side by side. Kids, too, quite often.
Your beating yourself up way too much your work ethic is fantastic You are doing a great job. Just take your time focus and believe me that roof is going to look Awesome
Know exactly what you mean Doug about if new roof turned out junkie and wavy looking , you would kick yourself everyday you looked at it for not doing it correctly now and Ofc would take the shine off rest of the great work you’ve done so far 👌🏻.
😅Like peeling the skin off of your lips!😂
❤ Ashley's gentle support is so great!❤
❤ Love the humor. Keep your heads up. It will smooth out in the end.. 😊
@14:47 I relate to this so much! I was ready to throw in the towel with our roof over at first too! It's amazing what a helper can do on so many levels. :) I like your style on this roof job!
I appreciate that. You did a much more thorough job on your roof. I'm trying to do a good job, but this is more of a "get it done without spending too much" kind of job.
I’ve seen people literally have a carport over their single wide mobile home.
Great job as always .🤗
That's our ideal setup and we really wanted to go that route. But the cost was prohibitive right now.
@@diyfferent I’m not saying to do that .
That’s just what I’ve seen. Everything is so expensive now it’s Un real.
Special effects and clown scissors! Worth the watch, LOL! 😂
Overcoming and problem solving is the path to success. Way to go Ashley.
Cherchez la femme!
Gosh some jobs! We all go thru those. Just keep being safe, I have faith in you guys getting it done well and soon! A lot of the stuff you do is very hard and tedious work. Good thing you have each other to make it easier or at least a bit more tolerable!
It is cool to get that bird's eye view of the property, it is gorgeous! Glad to see Ashley in a jacket, means you still have some time before the heat sets in... it is cool (cold at night) up here in NW Georgia right now too. I am trying to get stuff done up here before the hot weather too...
It’s good when you feel a little overwhelmed that your mate not having the same kind of day. Lifting one another up always a great idea! You’ll are amazingly productive!
Nice to see Doug in a playful mood. Like you I can’t bear to leave things that are just not right.
Looking forward to the metal going on 👏👏👏❤
You are a perfectionist and I love it. My parents taught me if you’re going to do something do it right or don’t do it. I don’t like seeing something half way done. You always do a great job. I really enjoy watching your channel.
Way to go Ashley with the can-do attitude. I know it wasn't easy and I respect you more than I did before.❤ Doug, I have watched you thru the years of how you keep going. You have helped me plow through my projects. Thank you. I'm so glad I got to see it is a battle for you sometimes as well. You've got this 🦁
So good to see you realizing what it takes every time by doing it yourself. Great job both of you. Your video came in very clear and good. Thanks.
Another "Doug Special" where he gives more care to a job than anyone else ever has. I cannot imagine a straighter roof on a mid-80s mobile home. I think you've inspired your neighbors over there! They seem to have a blue tarp of mystery.
I noticed a couple of videos ago, your neighbors were outside doing some DIY under that blue tarp on their mobile home. I bet they are so excited that you guys bought that property and you’ve cleaned it up. Their property value just went up!! Lol.
Wanted to call in The A-Team😂
Then realized you are The A-Team.
Teamwork makes the DreamWork, keep pushing can't wait to see your progress.
Ashley for the win! Nice work talking Doug back into a calm state.
Take care and God Bless.
Awesome teamwork!
You two make such a great team. Good job on keeping Doug on task, Ashley. I have so much confidence in your work and I am sure the roof will look great. 😊😊😊
I don't know how many times I have seen you re-do something because you didn't like the way things were going. That shows just how earnest you are about doing the best job you can do and you always have such a great attitude about it. Wouldn't it be awesome if we all could do everything right the first time we do it. You always seem to know just how to overcome obstacles and fix the most stubborn problems. I'm not ever likely to do any of the things you have done so I'm not watching to learn, I'm just enjoying the teamwork and seeing the end results. Thanks for sharing your ups and downs with us and being such a great example of good work ethics.
You guys are doing a great job! It will turn out beautiful. I helped my son do the exact same thing on his mobile home and it doesn’t look junky it makes it look like a brand new home. As long as you trim out all the edges it will be good
It's getting there Slow and steady wins the race.
At the 3 minute mark where you are demoing this vent reminded me of tearing off roofing in Florida and the first time I ever experienced "roof pitch". That is some nasty stuff to be dealing with in 95 degree weather on a roof. It is quite panful & even more so on a roof of a home that had burned.
FYI, never use the bit holder on screws, it is not hardened and not intended for this purpose. Use a magnetic bit. Most popular sizes are 1/4" & 5/16.
You did an outstanding job overcoming the ridge and eave pearling's that required that extra effort. Great job yall, in fact I couldn't stop smiling at how good yall are doing.
It's just a trailer, but it's your trailer and you want it to look good. You two work well together, so it will get done and look good. I'm so anxious to see it finished.
You and Ashley are such a great combination. Your attention to detail is fantastic.
This is another video of Doug and Ashley problem solving!! I totally loved seeing a side of Doug’s sense of humor and Ashley’s laugh 😂. The view from the roof is great, I love the weather we are having here in Florida with no or low humidity. Looking forward to another mobile home renovation. Job well done👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You always give it your all, it will be beautiful!
Doing things PROPERLY , even with a cost of remaking couple times, is rewarding 10 times in the end. Great job, guys, so inspiring!! Regards from far Ukraine!
I also hate to take apart stuff that I thought was permanent. I am demoing my entire trailer and can't wait to start to build my tiny house because I'm tired of tearing things apart, makes me sad. The roof will look great, can't wait to see it!
Hello Doug and Ashley, your amazing together. Love to you and the kids.
Having that good foundation will make your roof look great. If you paid someone else chances are you would not find someone who pays as much attention to detail as you and you wouldn't be happy. Great job team!
Great job Doug and Ashley! You both have the patience and work ethics to make this roof perfect!
It was cool to see a bit more of your sense of humor. Doug channeled a bit Jim Varney for a second 😂
😁
Never think the "mess ups" or re-do things are a waste. Others are still learning from that! 😊
You guys are coming along! ❤
Have you thought about placing rigid foam insulation between the batten boards?
there is an old saying ... : _when the going gets tough ... the tough get going_ xxxx You'll be fine :)
Good job good video as always I really enjoy watching your videos
Looks good your roof is going to add to the value of the home
I don't know why but I love it when you two sit on a roof and talk. So cool
Doug, is there anything you don't know how to fix. I am so impressed with your ability and knowledge!!
You two work together so well. I love that Doug gives Ashley credit for her valuable contribution and encouragement! You're doing such a good job on the old mobile home. With Doug's perfectionist personality, it's got to be difficult to "settle." Love watching you.
Good Morning Doug Ashley & kids.❤
Looking at this beautiful hardworking young couple makes my 65 year old self up and work too! Love y'all!
we did this on a trailer roof and we didnt glue the shims and they came out with the movement of the roof... so guess what we had to do... yep a complete redo... a little construction adhesive goes a long way. just wanted to say this in case it helps you. been following for years and love your work and the loving family values of keeping life simple! we just adhered it to the boards not to the metal roof because we felt with the movement inside it needed some give and take with the seasons. sometimes when doing your own work you run into things that happen that you didnt think of your absolutely right about that.
😂😂😂 love the humor😊😊😊
When Doug did the pout 🤣 I died 🤣🤣🤣🤣
yes!!!!
lol 😚
Getting er done and doing an awesome job with it!
Doug and Ashley, hang in there guys you got this. Keep. Doing. You. 🌻🌵🎶🔨
I’ve missed the goofball banter from the old old videos. You guys are so fun!
Thanks for sharing! I always enjoy your videos and look forward to your uploads. Many blessings from
North Texas.
Ha-ha screw holder .... that was priceless
The bottomless Pit.
Lookin good y’all! Doug chin up! Y’all will knock this out and then you can get back to what you know more about and you’ll get that flow goin again! Trust me I know! I just finished removing old fiberglass insulation from my workshop and replaced with clean 4x8 sheets of foam board insulation! I haaaaaaaaaate fiberglass insulation! It tears me up even wearing a full mask like yours and a paint suit! I sweat like a dawg and still break out from it! But, now I don’t have to deal with it anymore and can move on to what I know and love! Woodworking! Love y’all! Keep on keepin on!! Go Ash for being a great wife and cheerleader and help mate!!! You. Are. Awesome!!!
Have you thought of putting insulation in between the purlins
"Like peeling the skin off my lips", cuts a side eye. That was very funny, Doug !! 😂
I have NEVER seen you two do a BAD ROOF. So, GO FOR IT!! Besides, GOD IS WITH YOU!!
You picked a good partner.
stop kicking yourself lol
The gargantuan transformation in that (what I thought was hopeless) trailer including termite infestation, giant cockroaches, rotting floors/deck and dumpsters full of garbage; dealing with rotting falling trees, rain and floods all the while scrambling to fix up your own house/ van/ trailer/ laundry hut etcetera ....oh and and raise a special pair of kids !
well you lazy things 😂
I bet Ashley is glad the weather is hot in FL, that way she won't have to have that coat on. Doug, you do amazing work! I laughed so hard when Doug said, "let's put these screws in the screw holder" then throws them in the hole. Doug, did you ever go to College? You just sound so professional when speaking.
Yes, we are both super glad to be in a much warmer climate now. Neither of us have ever been to college. Thanks!
@@diyfferent I am not sending my grandchildren to college, it is such a waste of time and money.
Not gonna lie… for some reason I get a little terrified watching ya’ll on the roof 🫣 Im anxious for ya’ll to hurry and finish for the sake of my nerves 😂 But seriously you’re doing great as always ( even working with the clown scissors 😂)
Back in the day I spent a summer installing new roofs on mobile homes. After laying down the nailer(what you're calling perlins), we laid down 2" rigid foam insulation. Are you doing any type of insulation? I think this roof is going to look amazing because you're paying attention to the smallest details. Good on ya!!! God bless!!!!
A beautiful, first r ate job guys. Stop fretting! You’re doing very well. Rooting for you from Texas!
Just take some deep breaths and keep going! You're doing great. My dad simply sealed the roof with tar, and then he built a roof over the whole trailer held up by 6x6 poles. 4 on each side.
Great video as always, love that you are human like the rest of us and just plain get sick and tired of having setbacks and have to redo things. No shame in your game for that, you guys work like crazy on all you do and I am thinking that so many of our YT people are just plain getting burned out for a while. You guys do a ton, just to get ready to film and etc, let alone show the work and issues that come up with the reality of repairing a neglected home. Your work is always excellent. I love that your ethic is what it is. So many would just throw up their hands and walk on it all. Love your channel as you know. It's not just a mobile home, you are making a roof and space for a family to live and make memories in and a shelter for them. I am so excited to see what you do with it all.......I know it's going to be amazing. Hope you have a great rest of your weekend and a great week upcoming! Hang in there, you've had a lot worse than what you are doing now and you aced it every time. 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
My cat Braveheart loves to sit and watch your videos with me, he was right in front of me staring at the video when you paned down to Bell on the ground, he went to sniff her hat and you turned the camera back to you, and puckered your lips, so he gave you a kiss. It was so sweet.
Love your diligence! Good job!
Major respect for Ashley and Doug. They are truly The Dream Team! So far there's literally zero challenges they haven't managed to conquer. I realize there's a great deal of research behind the scenes but I would not have a clue how to begin the research, muchless the actual tasks. They seem to balance one another so well. There's obvious respect for one another - sadly that often disappears when projects go off-the-rails. Annoyance is normal - disrespecting your partner is unacceptable.
The roof is going to look amazing. Kudos for sticking with it. 😊💕🇨🇦
