“This is Living the Dream — being together.” — Mike Martins

Hey YouTubers, Mike Martins here!
It is absolutely beautiful outside today. The sun is out, it's nice and warm, the kids are outside enjoying themselves, and we're spending our Thursday getting another little project finished around the house.
Today we're tackling THE DOOR!
Guys, you've got to see this thing. 😂
We're finally getting rid of that barf brown, puke brown colour that I just couldn't stand looking at anymore. I've spent basically an entire week sanding this thing down and getting it ready, and now we're finally putting the new paint on.
What you're seeing right now is only the first coat, so we've still got another coat to go. We're cutting around the edges, getting paint into all the little crevices and trying to get everything properly covered.
There are still little remnants of that old brown colour around the edges, but I'm going to install weather stripping there anyway, so once everything is finished you shouldn't see it.
Hopefully we can get most of this finished today, let everything dry and wrap the project up tomorrow.
But this video isn't really just about painting a door.
This is Living the Dream.
The kids are outside playing together. We're working on our home. The weather is beautiful. There's a nice breeze coming through, everything is quiet, and we're just enjoying a simple Thursday together as a family.
That's one of the things I'm really enjoying about being here.
You don't always need some gigantic event happening. Sometimes it's just getting outside, working on your house, watching the kids play, enjoying the sunshine and appreciating a quiet day.
And little by little we're making this place ours.
Let me know what you guys think about the new colour.
Better than the puke brown? 😂
I think just getting rid of that old colour is already making the entrance look completely different.
Now we've just got to make sure nobody knocks over the paint!
Thanks for watching, guys.
Living the Dream!
