    Word to the wise tear it down. Years ago me and my family lived in a mobile home that had mold behind the fridge that we could not see initially. Well to make a long story short my wife developed walking pneumonia followed by asthma and has had problems ever since. You have a beautiful wife and baby don't let them ever go in there again just tear it down it's not worth it. Don't play with mold the mold is going to win. Great video!

    You found gold, The Airstream has a huge following. Repair, refinish wouldn't cost much as it is 100 percent wrapped under and around in full aluminum. No other trailer is built like these. The sloppy wear and tear can be cleaned and repaired. Repaired they fetch 17-40k probably the most profit on the property investment.

    It looks completely restorable it's metal frame. Practically got it already. You wouldn't have to do it tomorrow, but it looks completely restorable in a way that would make it just amazing. And there are groups online where they have completely redone old rotted out places and made them gorgeous. And the house from the outside looks good too. Take a lot of elbow grease to fix it up. But looks like you got yourself a heck of a deal.

    Due to the mole, decay, structural issues, strip it bare of the things that can be used, and tear it down. You might be able to salvage some lumber out of it, if even only for firewood. Sometimes it is easier to begin a new than to try and fix someone elses mistakes, and generally cheaper too. Good luck in whatever you decide to do.

      I know what that feels like. My mom sold her family property right out from under my sister and I. Doing ancestry research, I discovered her ancestors left 11 generations of Earldom in Scotland to help settle Virginia, before it was divided. They helped settle Ritchie County.

    • @billyrowe0064
      @billyrowe0064 Před 5 měsíci

      I'm not really that mad, the property was almost 3 hours away. It was just my place away from home, I used to go frequently, have a hoagie, water, and cigar. It was so secluded I could get changed into shorts in the middle of the property and no one saw a thing because it was surrounded by trees. There was a lot of overgrowth and rattlesnakes that I came very close to one day and luckily was not bit, but I was very close... It takes half an hour to get up the mountain... so while it was nice, we never really visited as much as it was worth.
      The only problem was we were told as kids that we would get the property and can bring our own kids, and now that I'm 31 I see that future being more realistic and now it is not an option :(
      Another thing is our memories are there. The very first powerwheels I had was still up there.

    There a couple campers made like that one, all are worth fixing up. Biggest reason is the outer shells are aluminum, and don't rust or leak. I'd gut it, re-do it and use it for a place to stay while you ix the cabin. I'd gut it, and re-do all the plumbing and the wiring for sure. Fix the bad parts of the roof, add some exterior insulation and some siding, and after rough in of wiring and plumbing, just fix one room at a time. Of all of it, the moisture in the crawlspace would be my biggest concern. But over time, it can be made really nice, lot's of CZcams content if you are DIY'ers.

    New sub. Looks like a great beginning with the infrastructure already in place. It will be great to see the property in the summer. If it was me I'd strip the structure down to the studs stripping the roof, flooring and siding of all the rotted OSB and scrap the exterior staircase and build one inside using materials sourced from the property. It definitely has lots of potential. By the way the trailer is an Airstream probably 60's or maybe even 50's. They have value to collectors but as it sits with some repair it would be a great dry storage or even a place for a guest to bed down. Good luck with this project.

    Hi gang. Did you go sight unseen? Someone would actually buy that Airstream and restore it. Some of those push and even go over the 100K mark brand new. You got a boat included in the deal. If there was only a ‘69 Mustang on the property also. Where is this actually located? How many acres? Use crawl space as a wine cellar.🤔 That place you should tear it down and get something from scratch all your own. I wanted to see upstairs. Would love there permanently? Thanks for taking us along. Hope you can pop a video up before Thanksgiving.

I am an older guy that just doesn't seem to understand the searching aspect to the internet. I would love to find a situation much like yours but I haven't got the slightest clue as to going about it, where to look, who to ask?? I have tried writing to many channels where they are living off grid. They never respond and it seems like it's a secret only they want to have? At any rate, if you have a chance, could you respond with some help? Thank You so much and May God Bless you and your family and may you thrive in your new adventure!!!

    Vintage Airstreams are really valuable. Don't junk it. There's a huge market for trailers like the one you have, despite its current condition. There are original parts inside (such as the vanity) that are no longer available and are worth good money to people who restore them. Do a little research on it. You'll see you're sitting on a little goldmine. Congrats 👏

      100% agree. As soon as I saw the Airstream that's the first thing I thought of. Those are what people want now and folks will pay a lot of moolah just to get their hands on one. Don't toss it (coz that would be a shame) but at least sell it and focus on what is the priority for the property. IMO..... but nobody ever listens to me anyway lol

Not knowing what condition the wood is in and any structural support surprises. More of a peace of mind thing.
