We Bought The CHEAPEST Property We Could Find (abandoned mobile home)

Some of our favorite memories as a couple were renovating our first home together (it even came with a goat 😂). We can’t wait to make more memories with this property! What should we do first? Thanks to MRCOOL for sponsoring this video: mrcooldiy.com/

You either love your brother or you hate your brother haven’t decided on that😂😂

The "double pane window" to help in the winter. As a person that owned a '71 trailer, don't try to fix this. Tear this down, savage the copper wire & tubing. Make a plan to start over. If you want to fix it, start by digging along side the basement. The outside of those walls need to be sealed. Cinder blocks & concrete is permeable. New construction involves a vapor barrier between ground & concrete. While you're down there, dig a little deeper to install drain tile along the outside. Also, add 6" to 20" of Styrofoam to insulate.

knock it down and reuse the basement foundation to build a new place. You could then pour concrete into the brick and raise the basement ceiling height to make it usable.

Wasps are best sprayed at night when they are "dormant" for the night.

If you want a dry basement, probably need to put a new french drain inside with a sump pump and outside french drain too. Little bit of work but totally worth it.

Tear it down. I'll watch that video

You guys, this is a knock down! It will be way more effort and money to remodel the existing house!

If a wasp nest is made of mud rather than paper, depending on where it is, you may want to let them stay. Mud dauber wasps are generally chill, they eat massive amounts of mosquitos, and they're the primary predator of brown/black widow spiders. Other than leaving mud stains where they build nests, they're pretty good neighbors.

Uh, tear it down. Build an ICF house.

Hey guys, thanks for the video. Try regular dish soap and water and spray entire deck, let dry. No more wasp problems. Ordinary liquid soap (10-20%) in a spray bottle works as well as anything I've ever tried when it comes to dropping and killing wasps around the house. Let it dry on surfaces and the wasps will not come back all year. Be sure to remove any old hives as well.

Knock it down and start from scratch. DIY but do it right! You can't fix the basement with patches. If it were me, and I didn't have guests moving in, I would've opted for land.

Tear it down, it is plagued with mold everywhere. You will be sick living in that house. The mold remediation and repairs will cost more than tearing it down and starting over.

Having lived in mobile homes there's not one I wouldn't burn to the ground. The place we're living in now is a manufactured home made in two pieces and it's just as hard to work on. As much as I'd like to be positive I'd take it down and do a container house with a nice garage. I know you'll do something interesting though, so let the projects begin.

with ants, I use a 50-50 mix of Borax and sugar and add a little watter to dissolve and mix them, then put it next to there nest.

This looks like a beautiful property and you have your work cut out for you. I’ve never known a Casey who was afraid of hard work. In fact you embrace it with enthusiasm. It’s a family trait. I look forward to what will be. This is a wonderful gesture for your brother, Courtney. 💕

Pro tip: for the fire ants, get some Termidore for termites, it kills ants too. Once you treat all the mounds you probably won't have a bad infestation again for several years. You can buy it off the internet, read and follow the label as its the law.

*crosses fire ants off the list. the entire southeast falls out of their chair laughing at you. lol
