“I’m gonna sleep good tonight knowing at least that the door’s at least got done decently.” — Mike Martins

Hey YouTubers, Mike Martins here!
First coat is DONE!
Man, what a difference this makes already. That old brown colour was really bringing the whole house down, and now that we're getting everything painted white, I'm extremely happy with how it's starting to look.
This is only the first coat, too.
I'm going to let everything settle and then come back tomorrow and put on the second coat. Once that second coat goes on, I think the door is going to look even better.
After spending all that time sanding, preparing everything and finally getting paint onto it, I'm going to sleep good tonight knowing that at least the door got done decently!
It's another little piece of progress on the house.
I also wanted to show you guys something else I've changed since some of my older videos: the exterior lights are DONE too.
If you remember what was here before, the old lights were rusty, deteriorating and basically falling apart. I've now replaced the lights around the house with brand-new LED fixtures.
Little by little, we're getting there.
Now there's another problem. 😂
The freshly painted white door is starting to make the aluminum siding look dirty!
But we just came through winter, so obviously the exterior of the house is going to need a good cleaning. Once the second coat is finished and the siding gets cleaned up, I think everything is going to come together nicely.
That's what these projects are about.
You don't necessarily have to renovate an entire house overnight. One project at a time, one improvement at a time, and eventually you start seeing a completely different home.
So what do you guys think?
YAY or NAY on the white?
Do you think it looks better than that old brown?
And what do you think of the new LED lights around the house?
Comment below and let me know.
Thanks for watching!
